    My skin is oily but sensitive. I really like the texture of this product, it is a gel but feels a bit like a primer. It is very gentle and doesn't dry out my skin. It balances out the oiliness of...

    This product broke me out. On the first night, I was impressed. For the first time I woke up with a soft face instead of it being an oilslick. With continued use however, it started giving me...

    Love this moisturizer. Its soothing and super light weight. Perfect for oily to combination skin. But its expensive for what it is in my oppinion.

    I'm rating this a 5 bc it doesn't make your skin greasy nor is it a shine control moisturizer . If you have normal to dry skin I don't reccomend it as those skin types need more moisture. It also...

    Yet another Paula's Choice product that irritates my skin. This moisturizer feels nice texturally, but it feels more like a primer than a moisturizer. It doesn't burn my skin like the CALM Redness...

    After trying this product, I learned to be wary of some of paula's choice products and the claims they make. this is NOT a moisturizer that is well-suited for acne-prone skin. The ingredients just...

    This is a really nice moisturizer for oily skin. Since my skin is dry/combination I felt like I needed something more. It is a gel texture and goes on very nicely leaving your skin with matte...

    Great final step to your night time routine. I alternate between mixing it with the ultra-light anti-oxidant serum and 1% retinol. It goes on silky and leaves your face matte. Perfect moisturizer...

    A good product that doesn't irritate my skin, but somehow it's too dry for my combination skin. It's supposed could be used near eyes as well, but it's really burn my eyes like hell.
