Edited in Nov to add: after two months, I switched mixing it with my serum to mixing it with my moisturizer and it seems to yield better results that way, even though I didn't think it could get any better! Helps even the skin tone and texture and mattifies my final step even when mixed with a heavy moisturizer that usually leaves my skin shiny. I'm 38, daughter is 14 and we both use this daily. It's a must-have staple in both our daily routines and even with two people using it twice daily, this little tube lasts us about 3 months. It's a little pricey but totally worth every penny.
Top reviews from other countries
It has been a month and a half and my skin still looks the same. I paid a ridiculous amount of money for a miniscule fragment of a supposedly effective treatment and let it slide, but enough is enough.
I'm never buying this product (or any of Paula's Choice products for that matter) ever again.
