Well the past few weeks have been a pain due to assignments and assessment tasks for uni, and my skin is complaining as well. It's been breaking out...everyone no matter how much you care for your skin stress will ruin it. Anyways, today I will be reviewing Paula's Choice Resist Ultra-Light Antioxidant Serum.
Many of you will be wondering what is a guy in his early twenties using an antioxidant serum for? Well despite being in my early 20s my skin makes me look like a guy almost in his early 30s thus my interest in skincare (Also being Korean made me more and more interested as Korean men spend the most in the world on grooming and skincare LOL).
Anyways the principal reason why I purchased and used this product was because of it's claims of reducing enlarged pores also Paula's Choice Australia had it for 50% off in January. It's very silky in texture and it's yellow in colour. It's a silicone based serum so it glides onto your skin. It makes your skin feel soft and supple, like a baby's bottom. However this was a very disappointing product, it didn't do anything besides making my skin feel nice.
I did not see any visual results, which was what I was expecting and what it claimed. I would not recommend this at all unless you are looking for like a primer with antioxidants in it. Maybe it is because I am young that's why I didn't see any results, but my pores are larger than a 60 year old man/lady so at least I would have liked to have seen some improvement.
Was it worth the $40 or so, not really. I plan to try the Skin Balancing Super Antioxidant Concentrate Serum with Retinol. I've read research papers as well as other blogs about the wonderful benefits of retinol so I want to try out the product as soon as possible (when I can afford to). So for now I won't be using a serum of any sort besides my C15 booster which I will post a review up soon. My skincare routine has changed slightly and I outlined it below.
