    I bought this Paula's product based on the reviews here. I am not impressed. The texture is fine and it goes on smoothly, but it does not add moisture, make my skin more radiant, or really...

    I have been looking for cheaper alternatives to my current Cosmedix products. I was drawn to Paula's Choice due to the price and also the reviews which were generally very good. My first impression...

    Love this! While the tube seems tiny the product lasts quite a while because you only have to use a small amount. It spreads easily and absorbs quickly, and leaves your skin with a bit of a slip....

    I've used Paula's Choice serums for years and really liked the previous version with antioxidants but no retionol. Unfortunately, this irritates my skin (presumably the retinol) - not terribly, and...

    This was just an average product for me - not awful but not great. It actually didn't do anything for my skin and I didn't see any improvement after finishing the tube. It has the consistency of...

    Love this -- HG! Many antioxidant or retinol products irritate my sensitive skin, but this doesn't. I can even use it around my eyes with no problem. Gentle yet effective.

    One of the best mix of anti aging agents in one product! The trick is to wet your face and hands (the hanes are even more important) and then apply the product. This way, the silicon feeling is not...

    I have dry skin. I want a retinol that won't cause peeling. This fits that wish! Thick oily serum that soaks in. I cleanse and exfoliate, apply serum, and then brush my teeth or pluck brows or...
