description

A potent retinol serum that delivers skin-renewing benefits via optimally concentrated encapsulated retinol for maximum results with minimal irritation. This technologically advanced combination of encapsulated retinol, and vitamins C and E, encourages the skin's renewal process with prime efficacy. It helps improve skintone and texture, assists in collagen production, and reduces lines and wrinkles to create a vibrantly youthful and healthy complexion. A dose of moisture minimizes redness and irritation, and mitigates the retinol's drying effects.

CYCLOPENTASILOXANE, SQUALANE, RETINOL, ASCORBYL PALMITATE, TOCOPHEROL, WATER (AQUA), PENTYLENE GLYCOL, POLYSORBATE 20, LECITHIN, BISABOLOL, ALCOHOL

I purchased my PTR Retinol Fusion PM serum during a special on QVC when they were selling two 6 oz. bottles for the price of one. I've been using it for 3 weeks every evening and it seems to be...

PTR's Retinol Fusion PM is a great "first introduction" to retinols. My skin can be sensitive with the wrong products and this has never given me any irritation. At night, after I cleanse my skin...

On second bottle. It takes time to work. At 56 I look early forties (sunscreen), I Do like that it doesn’t irritate my rosacea or leave my skin peeling. Ptr needs to lower the price a bit though. I...

I am 63 and this has made a visible difference on my face and neck. It works wonders around the eye area. It feels like silk and sinks in almost immediately. It’s expensive so I order when QVC...

PTR's Retinol Fusion PM should be the gold standard for retinol serums. It's the perfect balance of smooth and lightweight - yet strong (1.5% - way more than most brands). It feels like a...

I personally really like this product. It is gentle and at times I was wondering if it was doing much but I think over time I've seen results. It does keep my skin clear and more glowing, not...

This product is gentle because it doesn’t work at all. Not only does it boast about benefits that don’t last like the vitamin c which becomes unstable as soon as you open it and null/void of...

I have been using this for about 2 months now. The first thing I will praise is that it didn't break me out or dry my skin out and I have extremely sensitive skin. It's in a darker bottle which...

I use a few drops every night and I would say it will last about 4 months. The texture feels silky, almost oily - but its not oily and it absorbs quickly. Of all the serums I have tried - NIOD,...

This is an excellent product in so many ways. I adore the texture. It's very light and easy to spread. Sinks in very quickly. Best of all, despite the high concentration of retinol, it's extremely...

I love this product! I've been using this for about 2.5 months now and my skin is glowing (though I think that is in part also thanks to my Hylamide C25). I have not had any peeling or dryness from...

This is the first product that has shrunk my pores on my face. I had a Coworker tell me recently that I look like my Facebook photo. Why is that surprising? It is a 20 years ago photo!
