This stuff is GREAT! It's perfect for my oily, breakout-prone sensitised skin. I use it morning and evening. It seems to have really improved the firmness, elasticity and clarity of my skin without...

I was really excited to try this as I've had great success with her 2%BHA gel and the weightless body treatment, but using this caused me to break out! :( When I first started using this it made my...

This made my normal/combination skin dry and flaky, even though it feels greasy! It also seems to accentuate every flaw in my skin. I prefer the original on my dry areas only or Bare Escentuals...

I've been using this for a month. I like that I am adding antioxidants to my oily skin. I use this at night, after BHA and before moisturizing. My skin seems to be clearer but I think it's a...

Didn't like this - it doesn't feel like it brings anything to the party so to speak. I prefer the original formula and will continue using that.

Another Paula's Choice product that I really wanted to like :( It sounds so good for the skin and it did feel matte going on, so I used it on my entire face. But just like the 2% BHA Gel, it made...

I love this stuff. It is miles ahead of her original Super Antioxidant Concentrate that was a silicone-based greasy-feeling mess. Because I have oily skin and fight the cystic kind of pimples on...

I have been using this around my eyes for about 3 weeks and really am loving it. I get a great canvas for eye shadow base and color. My eye area is smooth and not really dry. This smooths on well,...

This stuff is a very good overall antioxidant product/serum. It is a rather thick product out of the bottle but it goes on very well and absorbs fast. I like that is has no scent. I wish you...

I agree with the reviewer just below, you have to use it for a while get used to it, and see result. This light serum is better for summer for oily skin. It makes my face a lot more clear than...

I have tried all 3 of Paula's Antioxidant Concentrates. This one is good for my oily skin. It does have some mattifying qualities but I didn't feel that they lasted all that long. I couldn't really...

If you read the science behind antioxidants and stability you will see that the vehicle it comes in must be waterless because water breaks down antioxidants which can make them an oxidant and...

I wouldn't call this mattifying--it has a silky feel that is almost greasy and feels slick, not mattifying. It helped with my skin's redness after a few days, but it also broke me out with new zits...

I love this product. I don't find it to be overly watery, though the consistency is a bit baffling. I like the texture of it though because it seems to glide across my face like silk. My face...

I like this alot, and it is a very nice, light mattifying serum. But I actually like the original SAC as well and I think it's a better deal in price. But this one may be better for the oiliest...

This is a nice product. It goes on smoothly and has a matte finish. It is also full of lots of ingredients that are supposed to be good for skin--antioxidants, cell-communicating ingredients,...
