Paula’s Retinol Success Story

by on ‎12-01-2015 09:49 AM

I’ve been following the research about retinol for over 30 years and have always been a fan of this amazing ingredient. In fact, I was one of the first to talk about the benefits of retinol back in the early 90s on The Sally Jessy Raphael Show (yes, I’ve been around that long).

As the research continued, it became clear the prescription form of retinol did amazing things for skin when it came to wrinkles, breakouts, and even pore size. With this stunning news my team and I began finding ways to incorporate small amounts of retinol in some of our anti-aging formulas. They were, and are, still some of our proudest achievements. My product development team and I began working nonstop on how to incorporate 1% retinol in a skincare product that could work for all skin types, stay stable (retinol is a very finicky ingredient that doesn’t like air), felt luxurious, and have a unique delivery system allowing for slow absorption so it could work optimally yet gently.

 

Paula’s Choice Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment was the result of our efforts. The final formula worked brilliantly for many people (In a consumer survey, after 6 weeks of use, 91% of participants agreed their skin appeared healthier after using this product.  I love those kinds of results!)

It’s important for me to mention that even though retinol is what I call a superstar ingredient for numerous skin concerns, skin is far too complicated for any one ingredient to ever be enough. Our skin is the largest organ of the body and just like your diet needs a complete combination of foods, so does the skin. Taking this vital fact into consideration, my team and I included other significant ingredients in Paula’s Choice Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment such as antioxidants and soothing plant extracts, all while being free of alcohol, fragrance and colorants. 

 

One other point I want to share with you: I made sure to create Paula’s Choice Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment in a hydrating formula that could work by itself or in combination with a comprehensive skincare routine. Truly the best of all worlds for your skin!

If you decide to try 1% Clinical Retinol Treatment, I hope you find the results as remarkable as other women have. And those results are likely to be even better when you make this treatment part of a complete Paula’s Choice Skincare routine!

 

I am so excited to launch my Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment on Friday Night Beauty with Sandra Bennet and Alberti Popaj. I hope you will all tune in and watch on December 4th at 11pm EST.

 

See you soon!
