Omega+ Complex Serum: perfect blend of antioxidants and skin-replenishing ceramides and cholesterol to nourish and hydrate skin and prepare it for the onslaught of Tretinoin ⚔️ 

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 will 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.

・After an entire bottle I still couldn’t get used to the scent 😖 (really can’t deal with odours that remind me of fish&#47;seafood so 9&#47;10 times I mixed it into a more heavily fragranced product to mask the smell)
・Can’t really comment on the “strengthened skin” claim as I used this so inconsistently..
😔Won’t repurchase solely cause of scent but it’s not a bad product

・Light yellow coloured, light creamy textured
・Absorbs short moments after application with a natural dewy finish
・Leaves skin bouncy, soft, lightly hydrated &amp; nourished ☺️
・Did notice a healthy natural within kinda skin glow the next morning or later at night whenever this was used! (makes sense since you’re feeding the skin very nutritious ingredients)

This serum is so hydrating and lightweight. I prefer the lightweight texture over heavier serums. I use it after double cleansing and toning at night. My skin feels incredibly soft and supple when I wake up in the morning using this the night before. This serum contains Omega 3, 6, and 9 oils, ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and shea butter. The Omegas are good for calming soothing sensitivity while the ceramides help improve skin firmness. Hyaluronic acid helps with hydration and restoring the skin’s moisture barrier. I can say that my skin looks a lot better even just starting this recently. I also love that PC doesn’t add fragrance. It does have a scent but it is from the omegas and other oils. Highly recommend using this serum.

I wish the bottle contained more product.

The ingredients here are so amazing — five different ceramides, cholesterol, oils with nourishing fatty acids, and other great components — and they’re exactly what the skin needs in order to maintain a healthy moisture barrier. A healthy moisture barrier will prevent so many other skin issues that people frequently struggle with, so a product like this is a good investment. I’ve tried a couple of other cult classic products (Stratia Liquid Gold and Krave Great Barrier Relief) that are formulated with the moisture barrier in mind, but I think this is my favorite as far as user experience goes. It doesn’t have the odd smell that Great Barrier Relief has and it doesn’t leave a yellow-orange stain on my pillows like Liquid Gold sometimes does. This serum has a creamy yet lightweight texture. It absorbs quickly and easily without leaving the face looking or feeling greasy. 

While I haven’t noticed a drastic change in my skin since starting to use this, I think this is mainly a product to use if you want to maintain a healthy moisture barrier rather than something to use for extremely noticeable differences. Can’t say how well this works for repairing a damaged barrier since I haven’t been using it for that.
