Unfortunately for me, this product caused bad acne, some of which have left tiny scars. I bought this after a recommendation by a skin care expert; now that I'm in my late 20s my skin has become dry and acne prone. I began my new routine only to see acne all over. Thinking my skin was changing, I bought the Clear Skin lotion too. The acne only became worse. I stopped using all skin products, and my acne healed. Once I re-added this, the bad acne returned. I stopped using it, and the acne healed

This product really worked for me. I'm 52 and the lines around my eyes and smile area are less noticeable than before. I have a hard time finding anythiing that works on my fine lines. This worked and I recommend it.

Received the 3-week sample and began using it at night. My cheeks feel smoother and the blackheads on my nose seem to be "fading." I love the "luxury" feeling of putting on a serum before bed, too. Not irritating to my skin. If I get a slight dryness on the apple of my cheeks, I'll skip a night. I use it under my eyes with no problem.

Tried free sample with purchase. Used this under my eyes and within 5 - 10 min, it started burning and got really red! Washed off immediately, but still hurts next morning. Love all other Paulas Choice products, so I don't know what happened. :(

My skin do feels soft after using this product and makeup applies better. At first it feels little greasy, but it goes away quickly, and it's not a bad kind of oily feeling. My only problem with it...and reason for it being 3 star is after I apply it, my whole face become red. It doesn't itch or anything like that, but I do feel slightly flushed and even though it goes away after awhile. I don't know reason for this, but I don't think I should reorder this which is shame.

This product is AMAZING! My face has never felt this soft. I love it! Thanks!

I used to use prescription tretinoin to combat wrinkles, but I had to limit it to once every two or three days because it would cause peeling. I've since ditched that for this retinol serum. It may not be prescription-strength, but I can use it every night, and perhaps for that reason I've seen MUCH better results. My smile lines (around mouth and eyes) have almost completely disappeared! And the texture of my skin is visibly improved everywhere I use it: face, neck, chest and backs of hands.

I have oily cheeks & nose, but really combination skin. When this product came in, it proved too heavy for my face, but I simply LOVE using it everyday on my neck & upper chest. Ladies, look at the necks of women over 50 & see a place that has been ignored, even when wrinkles are taken seriously on the face. This works great for my neck & chest & I saw a difference in a couple of weeks. Ladies, our necks are crying for Retinol attention!

This is one of the few products that had significantly made my skin worse after using. I alternated the product with RESIST Ultra Light Antioxidant Serum only to see an increase in breakouts and generally bad looking skin. I assume it was too much for my sensitive skin. I have it packed up to return for a refund.

I received this as a free sample with my last order. I used it for 3 nights, then had to discontinue because it left some areas of my skin irritated and red, and the skin is now flaking a bit. Even after not using for two days, my skin still hurts. I am so sad because it felt great going on the first three nights and I thought it would work for me, but I guess it was too strong.

I would have probably never purchased this product on my own but, it was sent as a free sample with my order. The ingredients are amazing and has done wonders for my skin! Will be buying the full size with my next order. Sits very nicely on skin and not heavy or irritating at all! I also love the packaging of this product! I think all the serums should be packaged this way. This is a product that anyone could use in there routine. Excellent job.

I generally don't write reviews but products generally don't perform how this Retinol Serum did. I'm 29 with minimal surface wrinkles and mild acne along with many old acne spots (red marks). When I first started to use this product I did break out a little bit. By week three I can honestly say I don't remember a time in my adult life where my skin has looked this good. My skin is soft, break out free and my red marks are fading. This product works.

I was delighted to receive a free sample of this product and enthusiastically put it to use in my nightly routine. The texture is beautiful and it felt silky when I applied it around my eyes in the evening. However, after about two weeks and several sunny days, I woke up with dry, red, flaky patches in the areas where I applied it. I'll pass it along to someone with hardier skin (mine is pretty sensitive) and try another--I know Paula's got the right product for me, I just need to find it!

I did not like the feel of this on my skin. I used it for 2 months now and don't see any improvement in my skin. In fact my skin looked better with my drugstore Retinol.

I am at my 4th or 5th bottle. I use Paula"s Choice for over 2 years, I am amazed by all the products. I use everything for my type of skin-from skincare, sun care to make up. I am still crazy about all products I use. This serum is the best I ever used; I use it all over my face and eyes-it's that Great! It's smooth and makes my face feel prefect, fine lines disappear. Don't ever stop to make this Great product Paula. Thank you!

Shocked at how much I love this product. I only started using it because my past order came with a free sample. In the past I always had too much irritation and too little results from Retinol products, so I almost didn't even try it. However, it felt great from day one and I have had NO redness or irritation at all! My skin seems smoother and clearer too (I don't really have wrinkles yet, so nothing to report there).

This is an elegant serum, loaded with retinol and antioxidants. The product is effective as-is, but packs an even bigger punch when used after I cleanse with a popular sonic cleansing tool on the market today. I can practically feel the nutrients seep into my skin. Love, love, love the Wrinkle-Repair Retinol Serum.

Just love to use this product. It makes my skin feel so young. I have used this product over a month and I like the results. My skin looks fresher and younger. When I am finished putting the serum on my face and neck I put the residual on my hands and they are looking better now too.

This product blew me away since I had been sesitive to retinol before. I couldnt believe how incredible of a job this stuff does overnight!! THIS PRODUCT SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED FOR ITS AMAZING ABILITY TO WORK ON STUBBORN BLACKHEADS! It has helped more than bha 9! I use it with the regular 2% liquid bha after cleansing and toning and no moisturizer!! My skin literally acts like it did when i was too young to have any problems!!! It REALLY makes my skin behave like it should and it feels beautiful

I have been systematically adding PC products trying to find something that will reduce my crater-like pores. I was sent a free sample of this. I applied after my PC pore reducing toner and BHA 2% liquid. The next morning my pores were about 1/2 the size! This stuff is amazing. Believe me, I have tried everything. Don't know if it was a.combo of all 3 products or just this one, but I'm extremely happy. Now, moving onto tackling post menopause hormonal brown patches. Suggestions?

Um, wow. At first I was not impressed and gave up after a few days. I decided to give it a second try some time later since I still had plenty product left and I'm glad I did. It's not instant results, but stick with it for a few weeks and you'll see real payoff. I'm slowly going broke on PC products but the thing is, THEY WORK. What choice does a girl have?

My first bottle ran out, and I went without it for a few months. Finally got more, and oh, is that an improvement! Wrinkles around eyes incredibly diminished. I use it every night. Never going to run out of it again!

Silky feel. It applies smoothly. Not watery, but not heavy. Occasionally I'm normal, combination, or dry, but most often Im just oily, not an issue. I use a Rx retinoid, so I'm using this around my eye area, because my prescription is just too much for my eyes. I like everything about this serum and when I run out of my sample, I will purchase the full size. I cannot speak of results yet, plus Im more interested in prevention. I love the packaging, pumps easy to control for the perfect amount.

I had never tried a retinol serum and decided to give this one a try. I'm on my second bottle and couldn't be more pleased with the results. The lines around my eyes are considerably softer and lighter, my skin tone is brighter, and most surprisingly my jawline and under chin area has tightened a bit. Not a whole lot, but it is noticeable to me. I wasn't expecting that and am thrilled. The serum has a wonderful silky texture and hasn't caused my fair skin any irritation. Great product.

It took almost 4 months of use (once every other night alternated with SB Super Antioxidant Serum) but the results live up to the product's claim. My 42-year-old, sensitive, slightly oily/combination complexion has responded beautifully with improved texture and firmness, slightly more even tone, and minimized fine lines. No, I don't look a decade younger, but my skin looks healthy and beautiful. Worth the purchase price.
