Peter Thomas Roth Mega-Size Retinol Fusion PM Body Treatment,

I have this on auto-delivery, and it is on sale. I love this stuff. The cream goes on like silk.

@MG Chris @Thanks for letting us know.  I use the mega size PTR Retinol PM on my face, body and hands and it's amazing.  Completely changed the texture of my skin. I'm on AD.  What do you like about the cream beside the texture of the product?

Sounds interesting .... does this absorb quickly or does it have a consistency that takes a little time to absorb?   

 

What is the scent like?

Re: Peter Thomas Roth Mega-Size Retinol Fusion PM Body Treatment,

Yesterday it was 16 oz./$88.  Today it's bumped to $93. 😳

I started using the PTR Retinol Fusion Serum TSV nightly on my arms, and then on my face several times a week. I bought it mainly for my arms and eventually decided to try it on my face since my .1% prescription strength Tretinoin was a bit too strong for me.  The PTR serum been a regrettable purchase for me.  It's been six weeks or so and the skin on my arms looks no different than when I began.  In fairness, it has not been irritating to my face but it just feels like I'm applying oil, which I already have other oils to use.  I've gone back to trying to build up my nightly Tretinoin routine, but sticking with a reduced strength (.05%).  I have a few tubes of the .1% Tretinoin and have been wondering about using it on my arms with my body cream a few nights a week, to use it up.

@JeanLouiseFinch   Just goes to show how different products perform on all of us.  The PTR Retinol Fusion Serum was a game changer for the skin on my body.  I smoothed out any little bump and made it even softer than it previously was.  I did not expect tightening, only a textural change.  It performs so well for me.

@nyc1  i hear ya.  I never had bumps but was hoping to make a dent in some crepiness.   Can't win 'em all, I guess.

It absorbs quickly. I use it on  my arms, decollete, and neck. No irritation and no smell to me. It is one of the nicest creams I have ever used.

Hot and flashy has a video on  the glycolic cream recommended by Silliemee vs Paulas choice retinol body crème. She did six months of her body half-and-half. She didn't see much change with the retinol side. This week I just added the glycolic cream to my routine. You might want to try that.

Yes, @MG Chris, I have the Alpha Skincare body lotion. I actually use it in my face a few mornings a week, but I haven't been faithful on my arms and legs. You certainly can't beat the price.  I need to buckle down with it.

Re: Peter Thomas Roth Mega-Size Retinol Fusion PM Body Treatment,

@JeanLouiseFinch  I never had bumps either until about 5 years ago I started noticing the backs of my arms were not as smooth as I liked.  The same for my elbows.  I use the Salux cloth,  which I love,  but not every time I shower.  Once I started using the PTR Retinol,  my skin was like glass...  SO SMOOTH wherever I use it.
