Paula's Choice 1% retinol vs. Dr. Denese Firmatone RX

Can anyone compare these two? I've been using Dr. Denese's Firmatone Rx Retinol Maximum Firming Serum for years. .........but just saw the Paula's Choice presentation and I'm intrigued. 

 

Paula  made a big deal about the 1% retinol, so I looked to see how much retinol is in the Dr. Denese product........and guess what?  It doesn't say anywhere! Not even on her website. Does anyone know?  Can anyone compare the two products?

 

Thanks!

Yikes, Dr. Denese's product is $88.  Paula's is less money especially if you get 15% off + free shipping.  If you go to Beautypedia you will find a review from Paula on Dr. Denese's products.

I have been using Paula's Choice for 3 weeks.  I can see a

significant improvement already.  I am 37 and have some faint lines on my forehead.  They are barely detectable now.  I do not know how it would work on deep wrinkles   I am starting early to hopefully prevent future aging.  I have never used Dr. Denese, but I have used Peter Thomas Roth, Murad, Algenist, Philosopy, Juice Organics and more Retinol producsts.  I have never seen these results.  Hope this helps!  The fact that it is very affordable is a bonus.
