    I received this as a free gift with an order last year and am so glad I did. This serum is perfect for my acne prone, sensitive skin. It feels silky when applied and makes your skin feel instantly...

    Okay, so my skin can best be described as sensitive, dry, very pale cool toned. It's demanding to manage and gets cranky about what products touch it. It can go red and feel burned if it doesn't...

    This did nothing for my skin, and it never absorbs into the skin no matter how little of the product I put on or how long I leave it on its own. It just sits on my skin and stays sticky and super...

    Greasy, creates a shine. And ineffective. The amount of retinol Paula puts in her products is NOT enough to make a difference to your skin.

    This is my favourite serum. I try to avoid using it during summer (but it is HARD) as it contains Retinol and we literally have the sun shining 24-7 (midnight sun). I just started using it again...

    I tried a sample size of this and woke up the next morning covered in blackheads. Best avoided if you have combination or acne prone skin.
