Re: Peter Thomas Roth Retinol special

I ASKED THE SAME QUESTION MYSELF.  ACCORDING TO THE WEBSITE FOR PAULAS CHOICE WHERE SHE REVIEWED HIS PRODUCT...SHE SAID THE 1 OZ BOTTLE SHOULD BE USED WITHIN 3 MONTHS.  THIS SUPERSIZE IS 6.7OZ SO HOW DOES THAT EFFECT THE PRODUCT.  I CAN'T USE THAT MUCH IN A 3 MONTH PERIOD.

Re: Peter Thomas Roth Retinol special

I plan on using mine on my chest, arms and legs, so I'll probably go through the bottle fairly quickly.  Keeping the bottle in a cool dark place will help with longevity.  Not sure I'd spring for this size for face use only though.

Hi Lakeshore gal, yours is a legitimate question.  My understanding is that they have changed the dispensing mechanism. There is no dropper in the Mega size.  Instead, they use an air-restrictive dispenser. The latter should prevent the air sensitive ingredients from oxidation (which degrades the product).  The bottle is also opaque, which protects the light sensitive ingredients from light.

Re: Peter Thomas Roth Retinol special

I checked the ingredients in both 1 oz Retinol PM and 6.7 Mega size Retinol PM and they seem to be the same and in the same concentration:

CYCLOPENTASILOXANE, SQUALANE, WATER/AQUA/EAU, RETINOL, TOCOPHERYL ACETATE, ASCORBYL PALMITATE, BISABOLOL, LECITHIN, POTASSIUM PHOSPHATE, PENTYLENE GLYCOL, POLYSORBATE 20, ALCOHOL.

Re: Peter Thomas Roth Retinol special

I love, love this product. I have very fair skin with a lot of sun damage. I have tried numerous products over the past 5 years. After using this for 5 momths, my sun damage is almost gone and my skin looks so much better.

If you register on his website, they send emails about sales the have about 2x a year. They have a $5.00 sale (usually in the summer). I bought 10 bottles of his Retinor and various other products including samples.

There are some good deals and you only get the emails when they are offering special prices. I appreciate not being bothered by numerous emails. They don't do that. Very classy operation.

I got a sample of his PTR CC Cream, SPF 30, Complexion Corrector. This CC cream is the best I've ever used and I've bought so many over the years. It covers red spots, evens out your complexion and makes your skin so soft. It is unlike any other product I've tried     

I have full tube of Clinique and reciently bought IT CC+Veil Beauty Foundation. Neither do what PTR CC cream do for my skin. I've wasted so much money.

 

I have found his products so easy to use and the quality very high. Check his website for the sales.

If a Company tests on animals, it does not make me not want to purchase the product.  

 

I respect those who make a different decision though.

Re: Peter Thomas Roth Retinol special

This is a watered down version of the 1 ounce, when you compare ingredients what you have to look for is the order they are in 

the ingredients are in order of how much is in the bottle

so the water is before the retinol on the large size

where in the 1 ounce size the retinol is listed first

@Abcdm  Good catch.  When I get a chance, I'm going to look at the presentation.  I should be clear that the product is not the same. 

Do the math.
