Name: Omega+ Complex Serum
Brand: Paula's Choice
Rating: 3.8 (6 reviews)

This serum will give me pimples when used too much or for too long. To be on the safe side, I only use this on emergencies and just for four days. This, Krave Beauty’s Great Barrier Relief, and Stratia’s Liquid Gold are all rich in fatty acids&#47;oils, they all give me healthier skin but also cystic pimples. My oily skin can’t handle all the oils in their formulas. 

Another con is its earthy natural scent that some may find unpleasant.

Paula’s Choice Omega+ Complex Serum has a texture that is more like a lotion than a serum. I can use this as a lightweight moisturizer in the mornings. I only need one and a half pumps for the whole face. 

The serum is a superfood for the skin. It contains five types of ceramides (EOP, EOS, NP, NS, AP), fatty acids (flaxseed oil, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, passion fruit oil, chia seed oil, olive oil, plum oil), and cholesterol. These are excellent ingredients that help repair the skin’s moisture barrier and keep it healthy. This serum also contains vitamin E, vitamin C (in the form of tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate), glycerin, and hyaluronic acid. It doesn’t have alcohol, fragrance, nor essential oils.

This soothes and heals skin damaged by retinoids and other actives. It doesn’t sting even when applied to broken skin. It provides moisture and nourishment, making skin healthier and more resilient. I use this when my skin is feeling dull or irritated. Skin looks and feels better in just a few days. 

The serum is packaged in an opaque plastic bottle that prevents product from being exposed to light and the airless pump dispenser is efficient for controlling amount of use. Empty packaging can be mailed to TerraCycle® for recycling.

As much as I love Paula&#39;s choice, this product did not work for me at all. 
It burns my face badly, especially around my nose where I have some dry patches. I know this could be happening beacase of broken moisture barrier, but all my other hydrating products with no actives didn&#39;t do this. 
I&#39;ve read other reviews on PC website - some users mention the same thing. There were also reviewers that said they broke out badly. I didn&#39;t experience that, maybe I didn&#39;t use it long enough due to the burning sensation.

I am a retinoid user and I deal from time to time with weakened moisture barrier and a little bit of dehydration. 
I bought this product to help with keeping my barrier strong. It&#39;s jam packed with beneficial ingredients like all products from Paula&#39;s choice. It has ceramides, cholesterol, fatty acids - the Holy trinity, as well as some beneficial oils. 
Although it is marketed as a serum, it is a lightweight lotion. In the summer I could use instead of a moisturiser. I enjoyed the texture.
