The Ordinary Retinal 0.2% costs $15 and lists its strength clearly. Paula's Choice Pro Retinaldehyde Dual Treatment doesn't specify how much retinal it contains, making it hard to compare which is actually stronger.
Retinal by the ordinary at 0.2%. This one retails for $15. And we have Paula's Choice Pro retinaldehyde dual treatment. The biggest difference is that this is a pure retinal at 0.2%. You know what you're getting over here? You're getting a complex for retinal married to an Adapalene precursor. So it might technically be stronger, but we don't know really the percent that you're getting. So maybe you're getting something stronger. You know exactly what you're getting with this. This is technically more active than a retinol. So if you're sensitive, be careful for both.
