Recent PTR Retinol TSV ~ The Retinol Moisturizer

Hey Ladies ~ Wondering if anyone else is having issues with the new PTR Retinol Moisturizer?  It's messing with me.  Really dry patches, irritation, etc.  I'm not using anything else new, so I am assuming it is the retinol in the moisturizer that is not microencapsulated?  Any thoughts?  Thank You.

I’ve had great results, brown spots improved. My skin looks and feels very good.

I would try using it every 3rd pm and then 2nd etc, see if there is any improvement. Not everything works for everyone. Good luck!

I think most people have a problem with any retinol when they start out.  Use it less often and build up to daily.  It may take weeks or months but in most cases patience pays off.  This is just what I've read, also my own personal experience, although not with this particular product.

I love his Retinol PM, and have used it on and off for years, but not a fan of the night cream or eye cream.  I already returned. The creams started giving me the beginning of milia so I stopped immediately.   I've only had that once before in all the years I've been using various lines.

Thanks Ladies.  I have used his Retinol Fusiion PM for a long time with no issues at all.  It's when I started using his new moisturizer in his latest TSV that the problems started.  My understanding was that this new stuff has both the encapsulated retinol and regular retinol?   So, I guess I just started off with this new stuff too fast.

Thank you for your help!

I actually like the retinol mositurizer except for the stinky smell.  However, I am not convinced that I need both the retinol serum PM and the retinol moisturizer.  I know Peter  repeated over and over that the two products work together, but the serum alone IMO should be enough.  I did not send my kit back becaue of the stinky smell of the retinol moisturizer, but I don't believe that I will reorder on my A-D because I have plenty of the retinol serum PM and the mositurizer really has a foul smell, I think.
