Did not work for me
Review by esther

Unfortunately this serum did nothing for my dry skin. It left me feeling itchy, red, irritated, and very flaky. It also somehow stopped my moisturizer from working properly. When I do not wear this serum underneath, my moisturizer does what it is supposed to and my skin feels fine. But if I put this serum on and then my moisturizer on top, it's like it seals my skin off and the moisturizer can't get through. Maybe it's the silicons and they form some sort of barrier? Anyway, I can't use this now, as it is not moisturizing enough on its own to keep my skin feeling comfortable. Shame, as I still have a lot of it left.Customer care : Thank you for your review.

This serum has completely transformed my dry, bumpy, irritated skin. I felt and saw the benefits almost straightaway after using a couple of samples. Just ordered a full size tube. I've run out now so my full size tube can't arrive quick enough. (Posted on 27/03/2012)Product Rating -

Review by Indra

I use this excellent serum at night before my tretinoin cream. And a little secret to share, i mix a drop of this serum with vaseline pure petroleum jelly and use it as night treatment for lips during cold nights, it works wonder (I have thick lips and prone to dryness) (Posted on 16/08/2011)Product Rating -
It does what it says on the tin
Review by Anne

There is so much hype, advertising and wish fulfillment in the cosmetic industry that it is so refreshing to buy products which are simply packaged and actually work. I have been using Paula's Choice for several years and this excellent serum is a wonderful and totally irreplaceable part of my daily routine. It does do exactly what it says in the tin...

A must have!

I absolutely love this product. It gives you that silky and smooth feeling on your skin and after using for few weeks you will definitely notice the difference on your skin. Skin looks refreshed and younger. It is moist and smooth.Product Rating
This product is scentless and colorless. Packaging is absolutely great and hygienic.
My skin is oily , but I didn't have any problems using this serum. It didn't get oilier and i didn't have breakouts.
Only problem that I see is that this serum is made on silicon base, so for those who have very sensitive skin with pores that get cloged quickly, I would recommend that you test this product before buying it or just don't use it every day. (Posted on 06/12/2010) -

Okay, this product needs some time to dry up/get into my skin, but besides from that I totaly LOVE this serum! As some other reviewer said, I could not do without this. (Same for the cleanser and the BHA product I use) (Posted on 30/10/2010)Product Rating -

fantastic for sensitive problem skin
Review by Hynoki
-
I have dry, sensitive, acne-prone, rosacea-prone 40+ skin. In my case, fewer products work better. This product single handedly moisturizes and evens out the tone visibly - no other creams needed. It goes on a bit shiny, but serves as a good base for a matt face powder.Product Rating

irreplaceable
Review by Elena Kh
-
Another irreplaceable product fro Paula. This rich, very nourishing concentrate makes my skin feel protected and safe from all the harm it gets from the day. It is a perfect base for moisturizing cream, but even after using the concentrate on its own, the skin feels super moisturized and pampered. None of the antioxidant serums or concentrates I tried before gave me such a great effect.Product Rating

Skin Recovery Super Antioxidant Serum
Review by Shelley
-
I could not do without this product. I use it around my eyes and anywhere I feel a little dry. I went away for the weekend and forgot to bring it with me. I was not happy and as soon as I came home I smoothed it on. I realised how much I love this product! (Posted on 04/08/2009)Product Rating
At night, smooth a few drops of Skin Recovery Super Antioxidant Concentrate onto skin after cleansing, toning (optional), and exfoliating. May be applied under or over moisturizer. For daytime, wear under a product with SPF 15 or greater. Works beautifully under makeup and is suitable for use around the eyes. May be used twice per day if desired.
Be careful not to rub the skin when applying this product. Simply dab and smooth it on, then allow it to be absorbed into the skin. Rubbing or pulling the skin can encourage skin to sag.
Antioxidant Concentrate Advice:
Be careful not to rub the skin when applying this product. Simply dab and smooth it on, then allow it to be absorbed into the skin. Rubbing or pulling the skin can encourage skin to sag.
Antioxidant Concentrate Advice:
- Use only a few drops of this concentrated product per application. You will not need any more than that.
- Antioxidant Concentrate can be used with almost any moisturizer, sunscreen, or topical prescription medicines. It may also be used by itself for those who need a lightweight moisturizer.
- The Antioxidant Concentrate is not an anti-aging, anti-wrinkle, "firming", "lifting", or "skin rejuvenating" product. Its main purpose is to deliver stabilized antioxidants to the skin so that they may work to strengthen skin against free radical damage and help fortify skin's natural defenses.
Did You Know?
Paula's Choice Antioxidant Concentrates contain more antioxidants in a greater concentration than any other skin-care product we know of, price notwithstanding. - There is no single "best" antioxidant for skin. The multiple antioxidants in this formula were chosen for their well-researched track records and history as skin-friendly ingredients.

What is the difference between Skin Recovery Super Antioxidant Concentrate and the other Super Antioxidant Concentrates?
Skin Recovery Super Antioxidant Concentrate contains several plant oils and a greater variety of antioxidants known to be especially beneficial for normal to very dry skin than our original Super Antioxidant Concentrate. Skin Balancing Super Antioxidant Mattifying Concentrate contains special dry-finish silicones and absorbent ingredients that make it ideal for normal to very oily skin. The anti-irritants in Skin Balancing Super Antioxidant Mattifying Concentrate were specially selected to minimize redness and inflammation resulting from blemishes. Our original Super Antioxidant Concentrate is an option for all skin types looking to supplement skin with several antioxidants.
What does this product do?
The primary purpose of Skin Recovery Super Antioxidant Concentrate is to supply the skin with a selection of effective and potent antioxidants and anti-irritants. It has a silky silicone base that efficiently delivers the antioxidants into the top layers of skin and helps enhance the product's stability.
I use a prescription product with tretinoin (i.e. Retina-A, Renova, Tazorac). Since Skin Recovery Super Antioxidant Concentrate and Skin Balancing Super Antioxidant Mattifying Concentrate contain retinol, is it OK to combine them?
We are not aware of any contraindications surrounding the use of tretinoin and retinol and believe this combination is beneficial to skin. Because this question concerns a prescription drug, we recommend consulting your physician and following his or her advice.
