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.

Gentle yet effective
I love this retinol because it's gentle on my sensitive skin, but works well. I didn't break out at all while transitioning onto it like I have when using other brands. I've bought again and again because it's so good!
Report this reviewExceptional
This product is like waking up to new skin every morning. I absolutely love it. Buy this - you won't regret it.
Report this reviewGood product/ Pump wouldn’t Dispense
Overall, we like this product. However, the pump wouldn’t work so nothing came out. Luckily Dermstore replaced it right away.
Report this reviewAmazing Retinol Serum
I’ve never tried a Paula’s Choice product until I got sent this Retinol serum In my Beautyfix box. I like that it not only has 1% retinol but also Vitamin C and peptides. It’s hydrating and nourishing and doesn’t make my skin feel irritated or dry the next day. Within two weeks my skin tone looks more even, and my skin also looks more supple. Great product
Report this reviewFirst retinol : success!
This is the first retinol I've used, so don't have other products to compare to. However, I read reviews and just had to try it. I started off with 1-2x a week, using a pea-sized amount. I did notice my skin was flaky and dry at first with the first application. I started using it more and more each week and noticed results immediately. My complexion is clear and more firm. I currently use this product almost every night and have no dry/flaky skin with any application. For those who are beginning to try as their first retinol, start off slow and work your way up. This is now a staple in my bedtime routine. So happy I came across this product.
Report this reviewGreat for damaged skin barrier.
I have reactive skin that is sensitive when my skin barrier is damaged. I was worried I would react to this retinol, but wanted to increase the dosage I was applying. After patch testing and seeing no issues, I went ahead and started using it. I saw no issues when using this retinol. I did experience some flaking, but having dry skin and using a retinol, that’s hard to avoid. I could probably do with a thicker moisturizer, now that I think about it… off for more shopping on Dermstore! 😁
Report this reviewGreat 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
