I bought my first PTR from QVC a few weeks back when they offered up 3 bottles.  I have been use retinol from another company,  Ever, for what seems like forever.   Their prices are a bit over the top for me.  I have now tried his 3x.  Does not irritate but the strangest feeling when I apply.  Like a lot of hairs being rubbed across my face for a few seconds and then it goes away.  Has anyone else ever felt this kind of thing?

It's probably the first ingredient ( a type of silicone) that, when applied to the skin, has  rapid evaporation which could feel like a very light airy effect...quick wisp of air on the skin.

I've been using his retinol for years and had not noticed that. I will pay more attention tonight when I use it. I do think that @SilleeMee  has the right answer though. Sounds logical. 😇

I have bought the supersize bottles of it on ebay for rock bottom prices. But, I have never found it to be effective, I have used it on the body too to combat crepiness with no effect. His is 1.5% I have tried Consult Beaute which is 3%, never had any reactions to either.

Using PTR 3 PIECE set, I'm almost at 8 weeks. No change at all. I don't believe in anti aging products except for Vitamin A. Tried, no go.

@Seminole2 

 

Oh my gosh, yes, same with me.  I hadn't previously mentioned it here because I was afraid how silly it would seem to others 😃

 

No irritation from it but a brief tickle feeling like there is a little hair on my face.  This happens only around the tip of my nose and nostrils, hahaha, which adds to my embarrassment about mentioning it.

 

I had one small bottle and recently used it up.

@PhilaLady1 thank you!  I am not crazy....well maybe but not about this.  Yes, you know how sometimes a hair gets caught up in your makeup or lipstick.   That is what it feels like.  Not for long but I find myself rubbing my forehead Smiley Happy

 

Have a safe holiday!
