Paula's ChoiceSKIN BALANCING Antioxidant Concentrate Face Serum, Retinol & Vitamin C, Anti Aging, Anti Wrinkle & Large Pores, Oily Skin, 1 Ounce

This is a great product if you are just staring out with retinol. It’s gentle and does the job. I use a hydrating hylaronic acid gel mask 1st to hydrate my skin and then use a cerve lotion after I wash off the mask and as a buffer. Then I apply the retinol and I don’t end up with dry skin in the morning. I repeat this proces in the morning (Minus the retinol). my skin has started to push the new skin to the surface and my acne is getting much better. And the milia around my eyes are smaller.

Great line of skincare

I had high hopes for this product but in the end it was a waste of money. In the beginning it made my face very soft but after 2-3 weeks I started having terrible break outs and my cheeks, chin and tip of my nose began to peel and scab over and my whole face became very blotchy. Very disappointed.

Extremely light-weight. Falls off your fingertips if you aren’t careful. Doesn’t feel oily or greasy, and your skin feels moisturized after using. The only issue I have is that the volume/size is too small. I don’t think they give you enough, the tube should be bigger.

As other reviewers have pointed out, this might not be a necessary skin-care step. But once you try it you'll be hooked. This works like a great, light, primer for make-up. Pores will actually disappear and your make-up with slide on beautifully and stay put and look flawless all day. Even if I have a few blemishes, this stuff makes my face look amazing and smooth.

I'm 68 and still have oily skin, which is why I bought this. NO cream, serum, lotion, or anything I've tried normalized it.The serum IS lightweight, and a little goes a long way.However I don't know how long I'll be able to use it- this is just my second day, and after using Paula's face wash then applying the serum, I can see the shine on the end & sides of my nose, enough to blot with a tissue. No help with oil control for me.I'll user the remainder of the tube unless it breaks out my skin (yes, that still happens).

I only put under my eyes everyday twice. The moment you put on, the wrinkles is 80% less than before, for me, looked like 5years younger. Just hope the price is cheaper, cuz it’s not cheap.

My skin isn't quite "dry" but isn't quite "normal" or "combination" either. The "dry skin" version of this product was too oily/heavy for me. I like how lightweight this is - it hardly feels like I put anything on. I apply it at night after washing my face and using my derma roller. When I do that routine regularly, my skin is brighter.
