Retinol for Beginners – Gentle Yet Effective
This serum's oily texture spreads easily over the skin, making application smooth and effortless. A little goes a long way, making it quite economical. I incorporated it into my nighttime skincare routine and found it to be a great addition.My skin is sensitive, but I didn’t experience any irritation with this product, which is a big plus. Over time, I noticed that my skin became smoother and firmer, with a more refined texture. The manufacturer describes this serum as intensive, and while it does deliver visible results, I’d say it’s more suitable for women in their 30s as an introduction to retinol.I used this serum as a preparatory step before transitioning to a more concentrated retinol product from the same brand. It’s a great choice for those new to retinol or for those looking for a gentle yet effective anti-aging treatment. If you're just starting with retinol or have sensitive skin, this serum is a safe and effective way to incorporate it into your routine.

Leaves my skin feeling great, lots of high-quality ingredients for thecprice
Been using it for years as suggested on the product, I apply it at night after their BHA and follow with their moisturizer.This routine leaves my middle-age skin comfortable and smooth in the morning. When I fail to use it my face & neck feels more dry, less comfortable.They claim it reduces/prevents age damage...I have no idea if that is true. I'm the wrong client to adk, because I don’t track the changes on my skin over time very carefully. I don't have severe wrinkling or dryness, because my skin was oily and acne-prone in my youth.For me, using Paula's Choice products is about the feel of my skin for the price, not the appearance of my skin. Paula's choice contains more high-quality ingredients and less perfume per dollar than comparable high-quality products, and leaves my skin feeling as good or better than more heavily marketed or perfumey brands.To compare what my skin would look like without Paula's Choice, I look at pictures on my mom at my age. No difference! Her skin looked great, and still looks great for 94, LOL! She didn’t have the benefit of this stuff, but told me, and I listened, to always wear a hat when outdoors, and never sunbathe, but instead to be active outdoors while protecting your skin from direct sunlight.My mom now uses this, too, and she agrees, skin products of today that utilize vitamin C, retinols, BHA, etc., do leave your skin feeling better with consistent use than the ones she used back when. And that's worth paying a bit more for.On the other hand, I'm often told I’ve got nice skin, I’m sure this isn’t hurting.

Great, but strong, sensitive types proceed with caution
This stuff does NOT do nothing. I should really update this review after 2 weeks and I will but for now, I will say proceed with caution if you have sensitive skin...it didn't break me out (it actually cleared me up) but it is definitely very drying at first and also caused a little but of inflammation on my face (just a general mild inflammation only noticeable to me, it cleared my zits away though). I would say if you have sensitive skin, try using it every 3rd day at first so your skin can adjust because it is very strong, definitely geared towards mature skin. For reference I am 35 and I have sensitive acne prone skin.

Excellent product!!!
Excellent product, I combine this (two pumps) with a Hyaluronic Acid Serum (two to three drops) I buy here on Amazon and the combo of these two products makes my skin look like I'm young and fresh. Which says a lot ... I'm in my 40's and have all the signs of aging skin. If I use this product without a hyaluronic acid serum I do NOT get the same results. Why? Who knows. I'm not a chem major so I can't tell you why the combo of those 2 products gives me such great results, I just know that it does.That said, paying $70 for this is a CRIME!! Go directly to Paula's Choice site and buy from them; the product is $37 there. As for which hyaluronic acid I use, it's called "The Original Hyaluronic Acid Serum 100% Pure" by Timeless Skin Care. You can buy it here on Amazon for less than $14 ... it will last you a long time.UPDATE: JUNE 2014. The seller came down with their price and offer Prime members free shipping. SOLD!!! I now buy this product here on Amazon from this seller. THANK YOU for reading the reviews and adjusting your price. :-)

Oily, but absorbs quickly and feels wonderful!
I've used this product for several months and I love it. I began using it at night, because it is an oil and didn't want a greasy feeling during the day or under make-up. I have to say, the RESIST does go on oily, but - at least on my skin - it absorbs rather quickly and does NOT leave a greasy feeling after just a few minutes. My skin is 55 years old (just my skin, because I'm sure the rest of me is not nearly that old!) so use the oil on my face, neck and upper chest areas. I am no beauty, so I really don't know if this product works as a beauty enhancement, but it feels so GOOD on my skin, that I really recommend using it regularly. I just wish I had started taking care of my skin much younger. I now use the RESIST every evening and occasionally in the morning, as well.

Full review to come...
I am only giving 3 stars for now. I started using this product 3 days ago at night only. The first morning after my face felt great. Very moisturized and a little more glowy from the previous day. The second morning after, I had 5 new pimples around my nose. Small enough to cover with makeup thank goodness. The 3rd morning after my face was even more glowy and felt so smooth. No new pimples. This is a little greasy feeling but sinks into skin within 5 minutes. I am hoping to get no new breakouts as my skin is usually pretty clear. But I've heard its popping up what was already there underneath, hiding, waiting to come out. I will do another review once I finish this product as it's only been 3 days.
