Paula's Choice Omega+ Complex Lightweight Face Moisturizer: Shea Butter & Plant Oils with Brightening Vitamin C – Perfect for Dry & Sensitive Skin Review

After a week of use I noticed pimples. It's not lightweight! A very thick emollient cream. After some research I realized that the cause of my acne was one of the ingredients! One of the first ingredients in this product is high oleic canola oil, which is known to be comedogenic! So if you have acne prone skin I don't recommend this!

This product was recommended by a beauty blogger that I follow. I have found that the product irritates my skin and causes a burning sensation when applied. Didn't find it at all. Just as good as the dollar store moisturizer I bought so not worth the price in my opinion. upset

This product is quite greasy. I have dry/dehydrated skin. This means my face gets tight and dry after washing without moisturizer. But as soon as I apply moisturizer (any) my face turns into a sebum bath. Since this product is oily, my face also gets greasy a few hours after applying it. But it's full of good stuff, so I just live with it.

I give this 1 star for value because the bottle barely lasted from November 1st when I got it to December 14th (today) and I have it didn't use it every day. It's only 1.7 ounces, which just doesn't feel like a good price and a waste of packaging when I have to rebuy every month. I really love this product but don't want to buy new ones every month. There are many other moisturizers that are just as good.

Note: I have normal to dry sensitive skin with rosacea. This is my favorite moisturizer (I've tried many over the past year). It has a consistency between a water gel (like Neutrogena Hydroboost) and a moisturizer. I like that it is quite light and dries quickly. Even normal to dry skin is well supplied with moisture. I had dry patches after taking tretinoin and this moisturizer solved the problem. It is one of the few moisturizers that contains the 3 ingredients that make up most of our skin…

I don't know if I received a defective one or something but this product DID NOT WORK AT ALL. I've never returned a moisturizer before and usually opted to just go with a mediocre product and then buy something else when it runs out, but not only didn't that work, it was drying out my skin. When I bought it, my skin was normal, not oily and not dry, in good condition. Within a few days my skin is dry, flaky and very tight. Even the edges of my lips, where some of the product might end up, feel…

I chose this product on the recommendation of a YouTube Certified Dermatologist. Unfortunately, I don't feel like this product works on my normal/dry skin. First, it doesn't moisturize me much. After application, it feels like a film on the face. Also, these are pills that get in the way when I apply my sunscreen. My sunscreen is not a problem because I tried it with a different moisturizer and it was ok. So yes no, that would be a no for me.

I bought this based on YouTube recommendations and a good ingredient list. However, it literally just makes my skin dry. Even after Paula's choice of vitamin C serum caused my skin to react/irritate and cause red patches all over my body, I thought it would help due to the ceramides and other skin barrier ingredients, but it did nothing and bothered me only drier. To be honest, I never return moisturizers or beauty products. But Paula's Choice is probably one of the worst brands I've tried.
