Re: PTR New 3% Retinol Serum

If Peter Thomas developed it I'm interested.  

 

Is there an ingredients list.  All of the forum contributions about allergins, irritants , solvents, preservatives, stabilizers.... have emphasized the importance of checking the ingredient list before jumping in. PTR is one of the very few  brands I purchase without questioning the deck, that is until now.

Yes, ingredients are posted on his website. I do think he often uses way too chemicals in some of his products. I wanted to buy his Rose Mask, and it was loaded with chemicals and artificial colors.

Here are the ingredients per PTR's website:

CYCLOPENTASILOXANE, ISONONYL ISONONANOATE, DIMETHYL ISOSORBIDE, DIMETHICONOL, HYDROXYPINACOLONE RETINOATE, CERAMIDE AP, CERAMIDE EOP, CERAMIDE EOS, CERAMIDE NS, CERAMIDE NP, SODIUM HYALUR- ONATE, SODIUM PCA, GLYCERIN, TOCOPHEROL, ASCORBYL PALM-ITATE, CAPROOYL PHYTOSPHIGOSINE, CAPROOYL SPHINGOSINE, HYDROXYPHENYL PRO PAMIDO BENZOIC ACID , ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN, ETHYLHEXYL HYDROXYSTEARATE, CHOLESTEROL, WATER/AQUA/EAU, PENTYLENE GLYCOL, BUTYLENE GLYCOL, BEHENIC ACID, HYDROXY- STEARIC ACID, CETEARETH-25, POLYSILICONE-11, 4-T-BUTYLCYCLOHEXANOL, CETYL ALCOHOL, PHENOXYETHANOL.

 

A silicone is listed as the first ingredient with a couple others thrown in so I won't be able to use this product unfortunately.

QVC lost a lot of my posts too!

I'll bet it doesn't cost them $3 to make this stuff.

I only see Retinoate...??   Not straight retinol, so I'm not sure about the great effects.   Guess I should google it.

PTR website frequently has sales at great prices.  I also got that email but I just might wait until it goes on sale or if it's a better price on QVC.
