    I love most of Paula's products. I use her BHA liquid, skin revealing body lotion, and skin balancing toner with great results. This serum, however, makes me break out. I get tiny white pustules...

    I bought this product quite some time ago. I don't use it on a daily basis. I can't tell if it has had any real dramatic effects on my skin, because I like to rotate my skincare regime from time...

    I only use this for my undereye area, because I am breakout prone & a bit nervous to use all over the face. But this seems to be working wonders! My undereye area has noticeably fewer fine lines...

    This is a good retinol serum, but it's a little too rich for my breakout-prone skin. It seems to have a good amount of the active ingredient, but the olive oil and maybe the evening primrose oils...

    This serum has a combination of antioxidants in it. The silicone/olive oil texture sinks into my skin and leaves a smooth,naturally matte finish.I've also noticed that it smooths over flakes on my...

    Keen to see how this continues to work. Better texture than the original and perhaps it won't break me out.
