PTR Retinol problem

Kitty Galore · ‎03-16-2010

I started using 4/21 , I guess I though I saw a difference , but not very much really. I still continued though thinking it would just take time. Then as the year went on by early summer I noticed I was getting itchy, and my skin was getting sensitive even a little bit if breakouts which I never get. My derm said to stop using it he felt the ingredients were not really doing a thing , and were causing the issues plus he didn't feel retinol was needed for me and suggested to just do my weekly philosophy vitamin C. Masks I've done for years. Once I stopped my skin went right back to normal and looked it's best agin after a few weeks.

i have a brand new large bottle of it cause I was on AD now it's way too late to send back and I'm stuck with it .😕

@Kitty Galore Maybe you could use it on your arms, legs, and feet. 🤷‍♀️

Oh no, I just ordered that small set of bottles to test yesterday. I've held out all this time, but thought I would finally try it, now I wish I hadn't! I'm sorry you're stuck with a big bottle!

It is only 1.5% for me it is not nearly as aggressive as i prefer, I use 3% encapsulated retinol.

PTR is raking in big bucks from gullible, hopeful women who want to believe him. So are other skin care manufacturers.

@monicakm I think PTR has a 3% available on Sephora. It's not near as affordable as the 1.5% sold on QVC. I keep hoping he'll bring that at a lower price to the Q.

Just an FYI, Dr Dubrows Regenerol sold on SHQ is 3% encapsulated retinol in his concentrate serum.

@monicakm it looks like maybe it has been discontinued. I believe this was the product:

Peter Thomas Roth Professional 3% Retinoid Plus
