This is crazy expensive enough that I only bought the sample and I am trying out other vitamin C serums to avoid repurchasing. That said, the only thing I dislike about it is the price. The serum...

I love the DIY vitamin c serum that I make for myself. However, this serum really doesn't seem strong enough to do much. I got this as a free sample with my PC order, but there was enough to use...

Bought the sample a few times to give it a fair shot and didn't see any results. However, her other products have worked wonders for me. Also, most of her products already contain Vitamin C, so to...

I've been using this serum pretty consistently for about 6 months. It is by no means a miracle in a bottle, but is a pretty decent Vitamin C serum for the price - especially compared to more...

I have been using this booster for around four weeks, and have not noticed much difference. I would not mind going on using it, but this is the MOST user unfriendly product I have ever tried, It...

This is the 2nd Vit C serum I've tried. I got really great results with Kiehl's Clearly Corrective (Vit C serum) and decided to try PC's because I trust her brand, but unfortunately the C15 did...

I cannot use this all over because it does tend to turn my face red and it doesn't settle down until I wash it off. It is also pretty oily going on. I will keep purchasing the sample sizes...

I read Paula's book about skincare. I was totally convinced by her. I ended up purchasing two of her products: C 15 and the BHA 2% liquid. The BHA 2% liquid is fine, but I guess it is too harsh for...

I have very sensitive, oily skin which loves to clog, get seborrheic dermatitis etc. This serum actually seems to help my skin function better, less sensitive, less oil and no clogs. And I love the...

I fell for the hype and purchased it. It's done absolutely nothing for my skin. In fact, I've been getting a better result from her serums by using them alone. Perhaps if it was reformulated to...

I regret buying this product full size. After years of glycolic acid abuse, my skin has become completely crazy. It is dry and oily at the same time, and the harsh Canadian winter didn't...

I love this is it so so good. I use Retin-A micro and use this at night after an exfoliating toner and have had no reactions. Paula's website indicates the formula can oxidize and turn yellow after...

Oh my God this stuff is amazing. I used it on marks left from pimples and it has lightened them so much and hasn't caused any breakouts at all. Of course it's still important to use sunscreen while...
