Paula’s Choice Skin Balancing Antioxidant Serum with Retinol Customer Reviews

A decent sized sample seeing as a little bit goes a long way with this product. I've gotten several uses out of the sample. This product has an interesting texture that glides on smooth and seems a little oily at first, but is quite the opposite. It takes mere seconds to dry to a very fine comfortable finish, leaving my skin feeling genuinely balanced - not oily, not dry, not sticky, not shiny. It does what it says it does, better than I thought it would. I fell in love with this product on first use and I'm excited to try more products from this brand. The sample has enough for a few uses.

As someone who has oily skin it's nice to find a serum that's oil absorbing and then I can wear under my make up

I was looking for something to help with the little lines around my eyes as well as something to help with my breakouts. I'm in my 30's now and having both issues, just isn't fair. This product has helped significantly with my monthly pimples on my chin and clearing up my pore on my forehead. The lines around my eyes are not noticable anymore either. I only use this at night, but it would work very nice as a primer as well. It makes my skin very soft and makeup would go over very nicely. I love all of Paula's products and this one is also great.

I had a hard time using and understanding this product. It slid off my hand several times when I squeezed the tube - sort of an oily texture. I felt like I had to use a large amount to cover my face and I didn't see any of the anti-wrinkle/anti-oil qualities it was supposed to provide. In addition, I still felt like my face needed extra moisturizer when I stopped using this a week later.

I like this product well enough. Noticed I was starting to get lines from squinting so much so I started applying this and noticed a slight difference.

My skin felt so good after my first use, and my husband noticed a difference to my skin as well. Will be buying full size! Love, love, love!!

I have combination skin so I was excited about a balancing serum. However, it did not meet my expectations. The serum dried out my skin and caused it to peel on my forehead. I would not use this product again.

Ok product, not crazy about it. I did not like the consistency of this product. I would not recommend buying this product.

Tried this serum and was not expecting much but loved it. Nice texture and keeps my skin balanced.

The first time I wore this, all I used was this and a BB cream and I got compliments on how great my makeup looked that day. I was sold after that! It helps minimize the larger pores around my nose and the fine lines under my eyes. I also use it in my t-zone to help keep those areas matte all day.
