Another Paula Begoun Beautypedia mistake

philosophy miracle worker miraculous anti-aging eye cream


This got a good review, but it says:

"Despite philosophy playing up the retinoid technology, this eye cream contains a teeny-tiny amount of vitamin A (as retinyl palmitate) so it is not the product to choose if you want to experience an efficacious amount of retinol."

Obviously, whoever wrote this missed the retinol in the ingredients list.

I like Paula's products, but she's really got to work on quality control. I'm glad she's no longer charging for her reviews.

Ingredients: Water, Propanediol, Cetyl Alcohol, Diethylhexyl Carbonate, Beeswax, Octyldodecyl Olivate, Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate, Niacinamide, Behenyl Alcohol, Glycerin, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascrobate, Peg-30 Dipolyhydroxystearate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Hexyldecanol, Magnesium Sulfate, Cocoyl Hexapeptide 23, Myristoyl Pentapeptide-9, Glyceryl Diretinoate, Retinol, Brassica Campestris (Rapeseed) Sterols, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Sterols, Hydrolyzed Safflower Oil, Caprylyl Glycol, Acetyl Cocoyl Glycine, Cocoglycerides, 1,2 Hexanediol, Tropolone, Sodium Hyaluronate, Microcrystalline Wax, Linoleic Acid, Phospholipids, Bisabolol, Cetylhydroxyproline Palmitamide, Polysorbate 80, Lysolecithin, SD Alcohol 40b (Alcohol Denat.), Pentylene Glycol, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Citric Acid, Disodium Edta, Retinyl Palmitate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Stearic Acid, Chlorphenesin, Xanthan Gum, BHT


(And yes, I know there still might not be a heck of a lot of retinol in the product, but that's not the point.)
