    I can not figure out if this product is doing anything to my skin besides breaking it out. It feels silky yet quite oily (thanks to silicones, I guess) on. I have discovered that I have to shake it...

    I didn't particularly care for this product, but I can see how some people would. It does seems to have a decent amount of retinol, judging by how much my skin flaked when I started using it. Once...

    Does not make my oily summer skin any oilier or cause reactions or breakouts, and I honestly think I've seen an improvement in my already pretty good skin since using this! I use it under makeup...

    So, I have tried many different antioxidant products and have to say that this is my favorite. It doesn't matte you down and feel powdery. It just feels like a lightweight silky product. I feel...

    Unfortunately, this product irritates my skin. I wanted to like it and it does work for many people but not for me. The texture is very nice, it leaves your skin really smooth. I tried applying it...

    This serum is a good, light, antiaging moisturizer. I don't know what the actual concentration of retinol is in this product, although I suppose one could find out pretty easily by e-mailing PC...

    I only use this at night (all over my face) because I still think that for day care this has too much shine. You may be quite taken aback by the products colour (transparent brown), smell (blah)...
