Hey Brains,
Which Retinol product looks better to you? I tried posting the ingredients but it was too many characters.Roc Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Night Cream or Paula’s Choice CLINICAL 1% Retinol Treatment?The PC product is about twice as expensive but it does appear to have better technology:Both products use retinol in it’s native form, which is good. The PC product declares that it uses retinol at 1% and the placement on the ingredient list seems consistent with that. The ROC product does not state its % of retinol but it appears toward the end of the list which probably means it’s below 1%.The PC product uses encapsulation technology which gives slow release of the retinol so it’s less likely to irritate skin. I don’t believe the ROC product has the feature.The PC product has more antioxidants to stabilize the retinol.The PC product also contains peptides which MAY provide additional anti-aging benefits.Here are the ROC ingredients: $22/oz
