Gets the job done

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The texture is nice and silky. It absorbs into the skin well and it actually does help with breakouts. I didn’t experience peeling but it is very drying. Make sure to moisturize well afterwards. Aside from that, it’s a good product.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] When i first started using the product it broke me out a tiny bit but as i kept using it consistently after a week and a half i noticed my skin was very glowy and smooth.

Good stuff

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I was a bit surprised by the texture even though it says serum on the packaging- I’ve never used a serum toner before. But it felt super silky smooth on the skin, i feel like my skin feels softer & looks smoother as well. I’ve only tried it once so not sure how the product is longer term however just testing it out it feels nice. I don’t have any complaints

No results

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I’m mature, combined with acne tendencies, I used for 15 days , at first feels good on skin, no smell , I don’t think it helps me with my acne, I use other products that help me on second day using it , small bottle and easy to store

Maybe is not for me

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I have been using the product for a month, I can say it has never causing me any irritating or allergic reaction, it has a slight chemical smell not strong, has a little oily consistency easily absorbed, without color … but in terms of results in MY experience only see my nose pores clean and that’s all

Overall impressed with the product. Leaves the skin feeling smoother and minimizes the look of pores. Absorbs nicely into the skin, doesn’t just sit on top. I personally use it as almost a primer. Only reason I’m not giving it a 5 star is because it can be a bit drying if used too often.

Just what I needed

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I’ve heard amazing things about Paula’s Choice exfoliating products so I had high expectations for this serum. It truly delivered! The dispenser is super innovative and makes the product sleek and easy to travel with. It dispenses just the right amount of serum so that 1-2 pumps is enough for my face. The serum is very slightly tacky but also easily absorbed into the skin. There’s no fragrance which is wonderful. I use this 2-3 times a week and my skin is definitely smoother and breakouts are calmed/prevented very quickly!

Not with my dry skin

It strong with me, i have dry skin, so this will dry up my skin, it does feel soft at first but it feel dry after. I think this would be better for acne or oily skin
