Recommend your retinol cream

[Birdie]

I would like to start using a retinol cream, but I wasn't sure if all were created equal. I used to use Tazorac, but my prescription has expired and I don't have the time/money to go back to the derm right now.

So do any of you have an OTC retinol cream that you love?

My derm says that Olay products with retinol are good. I've never tried them since I use Retin A.

I've been using the Peter Thomas Roth Retinol Fusion PM and like it. It's very thin and watery so I found it hard to apply on its own, now I just mix a few drops w/ my moisturizer and apply them together. It doesn't make me peel and it keeps my blackheads away.

I started getting red bumps on my face. I started using Philosophy's Help Me retinol night cream and they literally were gone the next morning.

If I don't use it for a few days, they will reappear. The Help Me cream is my HG.
