Some things to keep in mind when shopping for a retinol product:

 

- look for 'encapsulated' or 'microencapsulated' (helps keep the retinol stable)

- get one with opaque packaging (retinol is destroyed by light)

- look for airless containers (retinol is destroyed by air)

- look for percentages listed on the container

- focus on well-known, reputable brands

I am going to give Dr Dubrow's Regenerol a try, it is 3% and encapsulated.

There are so many choices. You've already been given some good options.

 

My recommendation, If you have sensitive skin, is to  PLEASE start with a low does retinol. Go slow; only a couple days per week and see how your skin does.

 

Apply moisturizer, then retinol on top. Retinol can be very irritating. Only use a couple days per week and add on days from there.
