    I love Paula's Choice but this stuff does nothing for me. To be fair, Paula doesn't seem to make any real claims for it, and -as one reviewer below notes- anti-oxidants may just be "preventative...

    I really don't see how people can find this greasy. I have supa-dupa oily skin and this dries down to a matte finish. It is packed with high quality antioxidants (superoxide dismutase, alpha...

    I knew this was silicone-based when I ordered it but somehow I did not put it together in my brain that this would make me break out. Then when I received it and saw the heavy silicone texture I...

    This product is very heavy on silicone. Like another reviewer said, it does feel like hair shine serum. However, I like the idea of using antioxidants, and the ingredients are excellent. I use...

    I first used this from a sample I received from the PC website. I liked it so ordered the bottle. The idea is great as far as antioxidants, but the amount of silicone is just too much and I feel...

    I think that this product is a great idea but the execution is poor. It is just too "sticky" to apply to the entire face. I really like the idea of an antioxidant serum (and would prefer to use...

    Heavy on the silicone! Like a very heavy silicone makeup primer - that consistency. Made me feel like I had a plastic glaze over my face, then broke me out. I did NOT overapply, BTW, used the...

    I used this for about a month and it has not made any difference to my skin. The ultra smooth silicones "pump up" the eye area instantly but temporarily(the effect goes away when you wash it off)....

    I really love this. It feels wonderful on my skin. I have these fine lines under my eyes that drive me insane and after my first use of this product I found that those lines were not as deep. Very...

    This isn't any different from the 100's of silicone-serum products out there. It doesn't really seem to do anything on my skin. Returned!
