I have never written a bad review on Sephora until today, because the severity of my reaction to this product is unlike anything else I've ever experienced. Every time I use this product (I had been using 2-3 times a week before bed) my eyes swell up and my u see eyes get a terrible scaly rash. Do not recommend.

okay starter retinol
nice starting point for retinol newbies. gentle, stable formula that applies and absorbs well. gives just a slight smoothing effect over time, but nothing remarkable especially for the price--there are better and simpler retinols/retinals on the market. the citrusy scent is a bit much.

Eczema Friendly
I have eczema, and using any sort of retinol has a chance to set my face ablaze. Not this product! I did start off using it sandwiched between 2 lightweight moisturizers and using it only twice a week. Now I can use it almost every day with my normal moisturizer on top. After 3 months, I could see a difference in my skin. A year later, and I couldn't be happier!

Weird texture and smell with no results
I used this product for 2 months and did not notice a difference. Additionally, it had a chalky texture and a weird smell. Despite waiting up to 30 min to apply my moisturizer after this, it still pilled off my face indicating to me that it was not being absorbed by my skin, which has not happened with other products.

Really works!
I had a pretty dark sun spot on my cheekbone and after using this for a few months, it’s gone! My skin feels silky and looks brighter.
To wear in the summer

Been loving this stuff after a month! I was looking for something gentle but effective and this delivers. I wake up with soft and hydrated skin! My dark spots are fading and my texture is greatly approved. Love!

allergic reaction — returning ASAP
this product did me so dirty. i’ve used retinol in the past with no reactions or purging and wanted to try a new one to get my skin back in order since it had been about 6 months since i last used one. i patch tested my inner forearm in the store (no pain or redness at all) and decided to buy it. i tried it the following night and only used hydrating/gentle products for the rest of my routine (gentle cleanser, ceramide cream, and a good moisturizer for the cold weather). woke up to itchy, painful pustules and splotchy red skin. i used a dr jart cicarepair sheet mask and it calmed my skin for the night, but even after taking zyrtec and using hydrocortisone (+ aloe), my skin is still inflamed and itchy. i will be returning this product. never again.

retinol a+
Great lotion consistency but smoother. I used this as a primer as it is bendable yet holds all my makeup well and leaves skin smooth like I have primer on. They shipped it within 48 hours. I've been using it daily for a couple weeks and my face is so smooth and my skin tone has evened out more. My face looks overall refreshed. Complimentary of Paula's choice.
