"This is actually very reasonably priced for a product that is formulated very well. [...] You are getting a small percentage of retinol [...] and you are getting the boosted anti-aging results from the really high percentage of bakuchiol in it but really dialing back the potential of side effects. This is kind of the best of both worlds and definitely something that you can use nightly without irritation for most people."

"This is actually an incredible product. I really love the formulation here. [...] Finding a product with two percent bakuchiol which is a lot is rare. A lot of bakuchiol serums and products [...] don't tell you how much bakuchiol is in it, so I really appreciate that about Paula's Choice."
