    I was really hoping this product would be the perfect anti-aging cream for me. But no, I've only used it 3 times (every second day), and my skin feels raw and burnt.I have also developed a few...

    This moisturizer allows me to use a stronger cleanser and exfoliant than I would otherwise without flaking. It does not have silicones, which cause me to break out. (Dimethicone is a frequent...

    Surprisingly light and hydrating on my oily, rosacea-addled skin. Definitely a HG moisturiser.

    Too light, not enough moisture. Was disappointed as I thought this might be the one for me.

    To be fair, I only tried a sample of this (I got about 4 uses out of it). This is one of the few PC products that I didn't like. I don't know why, but for me this just sat on top of my skin and...

    I wish this was labeled as for oily skin or at least normal to oil then I wouldn't have bought it. It says for all skin type. I thought I could use it on warmer months or when I go to warm places....

    This moisturizer should almost be labeled more of a treatment than moisturizer by Paula's Choice. I have normal-dry, rosacea-afflicted skin, and find it not rich enough as a moisturizer, as others...

    I agree with some of the other reviewers that mentioned this seems more like a serum than a moisturizer. I do like it a lot, in fact, I like it better than PC's actual retinol serums because it...

    I love this moisturizer. It's got retinol in it so it helps with exfoliation but it's pretty mild - I don't notice any flaking from it. I would not recommend this for really dry skin - it is a...
