I had high hope for this, but it didn't do anything for my skin, except causing really bad breakouts, including cyst acne

Updated April 10, 2008 for the new formulation:
She changed the formulation of the SAC serum. It used to contain really nice (and expensive) anti-oxidants. Now, she has drastically decreased...

I like adding this to my morning skincare routine under my sunscreen/moisturizer. It gives my face a soft, silky, non-oily feeling (but I'm normal-to-dry skinned so that might not be the case for...

For anyone that has any of this and it isn't working on your face, you can use this up in your hair. I always use Bed Heads Girl Toys serum and I was trying to use the super antioxidant up and I...

I'm jealous of those for whom this product works (very convoluted sentence, but I'll continue). This product sounded good in theory but left no discernible positive changes on my face. Also, the...

Didn't do anything to prevent irritation, free radical damage thing. What I got from this silicone concentrate is : Breakouts.

Like IndiaTree already said it does little to moisturize by its self so don't go in expecting that. I like to apply it after I wash my face in the AM and PM and with a touch of the Skin Balancing...

Yes, we've all wanted it to work, but the formulations defies human resistance to wanting to "belive" in something. I looked at my cabinet drawer and saw nothing but cheap skincare that didn't work...

I generally mix a couple of drops of this with my moisturizer instead of using it on its own. I like to mix it with Clinique's Moisture Surge Extra which gives the MSE a really silky texture and...

I love to use this at night around my eyes! I have extremely oily skin so I don't really need any kind of moisturization but I love the fact that this product is chock full of potent anti-oxidants...

Indiatree posted that she was told that Customer Service said it had 4% vitamin C and there is a reason why it's so cheap!! I've always been suspicious that even though it has a wide variety of...

APPLICATION: The specific type of silicone used as the base in this product is a little too thick in my opinion. It is somewhat difficult to blend over the skin. I find it is better to combine...

This is a great serum at a great price. It has wonderful antioxidants and in the summer I use this alone without a moisturizer. It seems to be enough. My favourite extra emollient moisturizer from...

It's a nice enough product but I think it's entirely superfluous. Paula Begoun could have put those antioxidants in her moisturizers, why develop a separate product??
The silicone feels nice and...

I love this. At first I didn't think that I would like it on my oily skin because it is such a thick serum but it actually absorbs very well. The tiny bottle lasts me sooooo long; I use it every...

I love this product. It is in a sillicone base so if your skin cannot tolerate that ingredient then you may want to stay away from this. I use this product at night prior to using Retin A. I found...
