Hi,
Been using this since Oct and really like it but I think I can handle something stronger!
What would you move on to next?
Thanks,
Ags.

Prescription! Are you going on holiday to Spain any time soon?

Google Facetheory. They do a 2% serum one which is good. You can use it under any night cream and it doesn't smell too bad. The Ordinary also do a serum but theirs pongs imo.

Which Paula's Choice one are you using, the clinical in the purple packaging is very strong.

Thanks everyone.
No Spanish trip in the offing, sadly!
Using the purple one. Maybe I have rhino-hide skin!!

I didn't find the purple one did anything. It's only 1%.

The PC one is stronger than TO one. The percentages can be confusing as there are different types of retinoids.

Check out this blog for some more info. There are videos reviewing different one also. www.carolinehirons.com/2019/02/retinol-qa-february-2019.html

How often are you using the PC retinol? How are you using it in your routine?

Thanks for the info.
Using it every night. It's the only thing I put on my skin at night. Usually a couple of hours after showering.
