I bought this product after the previous retinol product I was using was discontinued by its manufacturer--I had been very happy with that one. I've been using Paula's for about 3 months now. ...

I'd like to begin this review by addressing the purpose of using retinol. Think of it as a preventative treatment that will help build collagen and delay free-radical damage, therefore keeping your...

I got this as a sample with another full-size product and I think I like it more than that other product. First, I love the packaging, with its twist and pop-up pump - very cool. At first I didn't...

New to Paula's Choice and honestly? I have seen far better results, within the first 2 weeks, than I have with any other product. I know, we're talking retinol, so I should say I started using...

I've only tried this product in sample size, but I love the feeling. My skin feels smooth and plump. I love it, and will def. buy the full size. I'll update when I've used the full size for a while.

This product reminds me a lot of Dr. Denese's Hydroshield Serum. Unfortunately, the price tag on Dr. D's serum was just too much for me. I am glad I stumbled upon Paula's serum. It's a...

I rated this dirt cheap because if Estee Lauder or Lancome sold this, it would probably sell for $100 to $120. This is part of my daily night routine and I believe, responsible for keeping me young...

I'm really enjoying the results from this stuff. But not being able to tell how much product is left is very frustrating. And, the bottle seems very large relative to the content. This also makes...
