My own!
But if you need something OTC Roc has some cheap ones. The problem with theirs (and most OTC) is that it contains about 3 active ingredients and the rest is fillers and silicones that do nothing for the skin but maybe clog it. They have to stabilize it for the apocalypse I guess.  |

Hi, I love ZO retinol products. I alternate between 2 different ones in the line. I slowly worked up to using them every other day.  |

| replenix is a great brand. the strengths are 2x, 3x, 5x, and 10x. i use the 10x. the formula also contains green tea, caffeine, and hyaluronic acid. there are a ton of reviews as well! it is a bit expensive but the quality is worth it in my opinion. |

| I've used the Replenix 3x (as a sample) and bought the 10x. These products are heavily silicone based. In my opinion, I find the silicone tends to sit on my skin rather than soak in. |

| Yes, there definitely is dimethicone in the Replenix retinol products. I personally don't mind it, I like the way that it feels. It may not be the best ingredient for some skin types. |

I used the Paula's Choice Retinol Body Treatment before I started Retin-A.
It has vitamin E, shea butter, and other ingredients to improve skin. You get a relatively large amount compared to most retinol products, since it's designed for body use, but it works just as well on the face.
It has a pretty good concentration of Retinol in it and helped prepare my skin for starting Retin-A. |

I'm a big believer in knowing what STRENGTH of retinol is going on your skin. .0002 % to 5%?
What do these products have? |
