    It's unfortunate that this gives me clogged pores (maybe the wheat germ oil) because it is one of the very few moisturizers I've been able to find that doesn't contain any fatty alcohols.

    This is a very good moisturizer for summer time for my oily, acne-prone skin. It is very light, it keeps my skin matte, but moisturized, I don't have any reactions, no break-outs. For winter, I am...

    I was a bit skeptical at first, but I really love this product. I think some people don't like the gel formulation, but I found it perfect for nighttime. It creates a thin layer over your skin that...

    This worked fine for the first week or so, then I got several large pimples on my face. I have never broken out so bad in my life. Will never buy anything from Paula's Choice again!

    I've found myself with a real dilemma on my hands when it comes to writing this review - I'm really 50/50 on this one. It's not bad, but it's not particularly good either. I can't really attack it...

    Tried sample size only. I like the gel formula. It absorbs and doesn't make me feel oily. I can slather it over my t-zone in comfort.
