Fourth vote for the Paula's Choice Resist 1%. It works.

 

I'm also using Dr. Denese's Hydroshield Serum, which I believes contains retinol, and like it very much. The PC product is less expensive outside of a TSV or special purchase, though.

 

B/c I'm on the Denese regimen now, I only add in the Paula's Choice BHA solution every other night, and haven't been using the Resist retinol, and my good results have held.

Green Cream - just go slow and start at the low strength unless using retinols/retiniacin already.

I really like Consult Beaute Regenerol. They have some smaller kits if you want to try. They're on another shopping channel. Supposedly the Regenol serum is 3%. I use it, and I don't get any dry flakes, or redness, and I'm very fair, with sensitive skin. I also use the regenerol pads, and cream...only use this at night. My skin is looking luminous. I'll add....I have never used a retinol that decreased lines, or pores, or lighten any pigmented spots. Doesn't help with clearing pores, or occasional break outs. Matter of fact....i have a thread on finding a good cleanser/system for those issues. Haven't found anything yet. I just find it keeps my skin looking bright, and more luminous. Supposedly prevents further damage...so I use a retinol. Of the many I've tried...the only other one I would use, is SkinMedica. I like the 1%, definitely works, but makes me peel a bit. I just use an exfoiliant in morning, and skin is renewed. That comes in lower strengths, if your just starting out.

OH MY GOODNESS, I LOVE Peter Thomas Roth's Retinol Fusion. Highly highly recommend it! It's a serum with a silky texture that absorbs quickly and leaves my skin super soft. His products in general are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!

Ok I use first Peter Thomas Roth retinol pm and then put Paula's Choice 1% over it then moisturizer (Resist) or Arian milk and oil. My skin is amazing because of this!  Over time you will have the best skin of your life.

@SandGirland @sissyrose - I use the retinol cream.  I also use their Vit C serum and "mud pack."  I order directly from Amara's website, never Amazon.
