Is this the strongest retinol without perscription? Does it fade red marks and sun spots?

This is the strongest retinol product that Paula offers. It is not as strong as prescription products such as combining Retin-A and a 4% hydroquinone product from my experience. I believe Paula offers only a 2% hydroquinone. I have found that a tube of Retin-A lasts for months and months making it rather affordable.

How long does it last?

This will last a very long time. You need one pump which gives a small pea size, enough for your entire face. Using that much a few times a week, I think would last 3 or more months.

How often can I use this

I use it everyday but, it can be too much for sensitive skin. Try it and if your skin feels irritated then cut back. I believe the manufacturer provides recommendations.
