0.5% Pure Retinol Night Intensive Clarity Treatment®

I have been using PCA SKIN for 8 years it’s the only thing that cleared up my skin, but there’s a method, you need to use their face washes & moisturizers too!

This has totally changed the bumpy uneven texture of my skin. I have tried other, cheaper retinols but they just don’t work as well. I keep coming back to this. I wish the packaging was better. There is product left in the tube that you just can’t get out. When I can’t squeeze another drop I cut open the tube and there is too much product left in there that you can’t get at any other way. Cutting open the tube is a one time, last resort and I always wind up throwing some out. For the price I think we should be able to get every drop out. That said, the product is great.

PCA's clarity retinol has helped keep my skin clear

I initially purchased this from my esthetician and I think within a month I had to get a new one because the packaging was so fragile it would puncture itself open on the sides and at the top causing the product to start oozing out. I got a new one thankfully, and I emailed PCA but they couldn’t care less. Thankfully I got farther with my last tube by just removing the lid and carefully pressing out a little bit, but now with 1/3 of product left the lid won’t stay on AND the sides cracked open again. This product is far too expensive to lose half of it because the packaging is garbage. As for the formula itself, I love it. Anytime I have a breakout I make sure I apply this and it clears up within a day. I don’t have massive breakouts like I used to, but this makes the ones I do have very manageable. I hate to have to look for a new product but until they find better packaging I’m going to have to switch to another brand so I can save money AND product.

This product is great! It works, I could see the difference in such a shot time. I have oily sensitive skins and it helped to keep healthy skin. But packaging is horrible. I am wasting so much due to poor product cap. Please upgrade this!

My skin had to get use to it, but I like it so far

golden in a bottle. Great for acne in oily skin. I recommend this to my clients. They loved how fast this works.

I received the trial product. It lasted me a few months as a spot treatment. It works extremely well. Pimple on day one disappears by day two. Wish they sold it in smaller packaging. Since I only suffer from occasional break outs now, it seems that it may lose its effectiveness before I use up the container. Too expensive to waste.

I was so excited to use this product after purchasing it from my esthetician. She told me how to apply it and I was excited to see results! Unfortunately, it hasn't helped my breakouts as much as I had hoped. My hormonal acne around my chin is just as bad, if not worse, since before I started using this. However, the minor acne i would get on my forehead has dramatically changed. I barely break out on my forehead now, and if I do, it'll be a minor pimple or even a blackhead from a clogged pore. Other than that, my forehead acne has subdued but my chin acne might be getting worse. I will continue to use this, in hopes that I see some results, but for now, it hasn't helped on my worst area.

Whenever I get a pimple, I apply a pea sized amount to the area. The next day, I wake up and that pimple is almost completely gone. Definitely one of my favorites from PCA!

The results this product gives is absolutely amazing , but the package completely ruins it. The packaging with the pump is so much better. The second I opened this retinol the top busted and the retinol oozed all over the place from the top of it. This is such an expensive product for the packaging to be complete trash. PLEASE CHANGE THE PACKAGING FOR RETINOLS! they work amazing just need the packaging to be changed to something that won't break , bring back the pump!

I have very sensitive skin so I have to be really carefully check ingredients when I purchase skin care products. I have used this one for about 5 years. It makes my skin clear acne breakouts. I have enjoy using it.The only concern is color of this treatment changing to creamy yellow after few month of using it. It still seems work fine though.
