Outstanding Antioxidant Serum and Value

This is really an outstanding fragrance free serum chock full of antioxidants, especially a high quality Vitamin C which helps your skin defend itself against harmful UV light. It is in an airtight stable package. It does not irritate my allergy prone, highly sensitive skin, even in the eye area. It lightly hydrates without being oily. Its packaging keeps it stable and potent and best of all, ...read moreit is really inexpensive when compared to similar (and mostly inferior) serums. A little goes a long way--only a few drops are needed on your face. It absorbs quickly and is a great makeup primer. It smooths the skin a bit and sooths redness. This is a must have for anyone.

Outstanding.

This is an outstanding antioxidant serum chock full of antioxidants. It is light, absorbs quickly, is fragrance and color free and great for extremely sensitive skin ( suitable even around the eyes). It also does not cause breakouts. It rivals and probably surpasses the high end brands for a fraction of the cost. It has softened a couple of deep lines on my face a bit and all of Paula's produc...read moret claims are refreshingly honest (and not outrageous marketing ploys using trendy buzz words that other companies deploy) Buy it! It is wonderful for your skin and works well and feels great even under makeup! This is my number one choice for an antioxidant (aka anti-anging) serum.

Too Harsh for Me

I chose this because of the great mix of ingredients, but I found my face red, with blotchy patches and irritation. It's a bit strong for me. However, it probably works very well for those with skin less sensitive.

Powerful multi-tasker

Love how this powerhouse serum soaks into the skin and does not become oily later (if used w/o make up). It is lightweight and fragrance free and within a week and noticed a difference. Couldn't tell exactly but my face just looked healthy and I ended up purchasing a full size product after one week use of the sample. Not sure if it would be great for dry skin, but those of us with oily skin can really, really appreciate all the good things this product does! Definitely recommend!

Extra goodies for my hard to please skin

I introduced this serum in my routine about a month ago and I am glad I did it. I use it every night mixed wit PC Resist C15 and it applies beautifully . It's loaded with antioxidants and on top of this it also contains anti wrinkles ingredients such as Retinol. After two weeks I noticed my skin was more elastic and less red.

Paula makes the best antioxidant serums!

Paula's Choice will always be my favorite brand as far as antioxidant serums go. I've tried all three of them and they all work great....and for a VERY reasonable price compared to the competition. This serum is chock-full of antioxidants and other beneficial ingredients for this skin. It also functions as a very good foundation primer and moisturizer. Antioxidants are very important for stopping ...read morefree-radical damage and helping to block harmful UVA/UVB rays. So to have a product that provides this along with the aforementioned benefits makes this a must have product for me at all times. Even if this product were to cost twice as much, I'd probably still buy it because it's a staple in my routine and has multiple benefits.

Paula's has the best products out there!

This serum is only one of three Paula's Choice puts out and they're all excellent. This company really researches what is best for your skin, puts it in a bottle or tube, and the best part? Doesn't charge a fortune for any of her products. Everyone who really wants results should give Paula's Choices a try.

Another winner !

Paula has done it again ! I am a great fan of Paulas Choice products and this serum is another winner in my book. Due to menopause my skin has changed almost overnight from oily to dry. I started using this about a year ago and my face feels smoother and looks moisturized, not dried out. I like the fact that I can use it under my eyes and it is unscented. I use it under my moisturizer day and night. I can't live without it !
