Paulas Choice CLINICAL 1% Retinol Treatment is a potent and uniquely formulated retinol formula that hydrates and delivers anti-aging benefits to the skin. Its creamy lotion texture rests lightly on the skin while the retinol quickly penetrates into the top layer to smooth and firm skin, boost cell regeneration, stimulate collagen production, refine pore size and even out skin tone. Unlike other retinol-heavy products that may irritate the skin, this cream offers the nourishing and anti-irritating vitamin C, licorice and oat extract to leave your skin smooth and well-soothed.
Key Ingredients:
- Retinol: helps stimulate cell production
- Vitamin C: reduces the appearance of brown spots, inflammation and irritation
- Licorice Extract: relieves irritated skin
- Oat Extract: helps soothe and heal skin
Key Benefits:
- Advanced hydrating complex absorbs quickly
- Diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Lightweight lotion texture
- Offers a powerful 1% retinol concentration
Limit initial use to three times per week; gradually increase frequency to every other night, then finally each evening as tolerated. Apply a pea-sized amount after cleansing and/or toning. Carefully avoid the lips, eyes and corners of the eyes. Can be used on the perimeter of the orbital bone if desired. Do not apply to eyelids. To minimize irritation, try combining with 2-3 drops of Resist Moisture Renewal Oil Booster.
May be applied at the same time as your AHA or BHA exfoliant, but pay attention to how your skin responds. If you notice signs of sensitivity, apply your AHA or BHA exfoliant in the morning and this treatment at night or reduce frequency of application of Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment. For daytime, follow with a broad-spectrum product rated SPF 15 or greater.
Once open, most effective when used within 12 months.

Great retinol
Highly effective retinol. More potent than most retinols so it's best to start with a lower strength retinol first. I have sensitive skin but have not noticed any irritation when using this. I started by using every other night after first applying a light layer of moisturizer followed by another layer of moisturizer.
Report this reviewBurned my skin
This irritated my skin so much, even putting on moisturizer after burned. I switched to a prescription retinol and never had this issue again
Report this reviewGreat product at great price point
Really enjoyed this product. I noticed a difference in my skin relatively quickly and glad I chose this product for my first retinol. For the price point I think it’s a wonderful product.
Report this reviewToo harsh on my skin
Ugh, I wanted to love this after hearing so many great reviews, but it was too harsh on my skin. I thought that was just the normal purge after using retinol, but the irritation never went away. If you have tan South Asian skin, this might be too harsh for you! Try PC's 0.3% Retinol + 2% Bakuchiol Treatment
Report this reviewThe best
I love this retinol! It has the same percentage of retinol as more expensive brands and works just as well if not better! Love the price too!
Report this reviewWorth it
This treatment is great for skin that's ready to try something stronger than beginner retinols. It's definitely more potent, but after a couple of weeks of alternating days, I was able to use it every night. I can see the difference in my skin when I take it out of my routine.
Report this reviewPaula's Choice Retinol
Holy grail product. Love that this is a highly concentrated retinol for a fraction of the price I was paying before. Will definitely repurchase!
Report this reviewdoes so much good for my skin
I really have been enjoying this product. It has helped to clear my skin and I will keep it in routine. I love it.
Report this reviewGreat Retinol Product
I recently purchased this, and after using it for a couple weeks, I can definitely say it's a great product. It's strong enough to make some skin peel, but it's minimal. And my skin looks flawless! I especially love the additional ingredients packed inside. It helps to reduce inflammation and soothe while it penetrates the skin.
Report this reviewActually Works
My second experience with a retinol, and I can say that after 2-3 wks of using, my skin actually looks softer and more radiant. Previous attempt w another brand's .25% retinol cream had no results that I could notice. I did notice a tiny bit of peeling on my chin, but in these days of mask wearing, it probably was just getting more rubbed than the rest of my face. I wish it was easier to know which other products I should get from Paula's Choice- I feel overwhelmed but really like this product and would buy more.
