    This ingredients are housed in a silicone base, very slippery. I definitely HATE silicone in skin care, it gives a false sense of smoothness. For such a critic like Paula, she did not offer the...

    I got this a little while back and I find waiting a bit is the best way to review a product to see how you really like it. This stuff is a clear, slippery serum that you smooth onto your skin. I...

    I use this product sporadically. As per some of the previous reviews, the product is very "oily" in its consistency when first applied. TBH the first time I did so, I thought "what the?" and took...

    I've held off reviewing this product until I had actually used it for several months. I was not expecting dramatic results to my 45 year-old-face such as the total "undoing" of all sun damage or...

    This feels oily/siliconey when first applied, but sinks in fast to a semi-matte finish. I thought for sure it would clog my pores because most PC products do (all the cones). To my surprise, not...

    This product has improved in the last few years though it still feels a bit oily at times and it might clog my pores. I keep using it though because it's full of antioxidants and in the winter...

    I use this at night. No dramatic changes, but I don't expect any. It soaks in nicely without being greasy and staining my pillowcase. It helps calm my AHA/BHA/retinol-irritated skin, and keeps...

    I just love this. Used on its own it makes my dry, sensitive, acne scarred skin luminious and soft. It absorbes quickly and dries semi matte. A few drops are enough so a bottle lasts for months...

    Sinks in pretty good and I think it makes my makeup go on more smoothly. Have been using for 2 weeks and see a difference already.
