What's the BEST overall retinol/skin serum for price and results?
Paula's Choice
Most gentle yet effective pure retinol?
Peter Thomas Roth
Best for retinol users (next level) from less potent brands (OTC drugstore)?
Skinceuticals
NOTE:
Be wary of online purchases, even from well-known sites. Read reviews and be savvy about products.
For things like retinol, peptides and acids, don't buy off-brands or home-crafted products that make large promises. For hyaluronics, moisturizers and basic serums, these are fine to test.
