Fortunately, Eves-members are here to help you find that perfect skincare routine that gives each area of your skin the attention it needs. According to honest reviews, these 5x products are ideal for combination skin.
Taking care of combination skin with a serum? Absolutely!
A very cute bottle with a nice applicator. Nice scent. It really smears perfectly. Works really great. My skin is sooo much calmer and calmer. Less red and irritated. Be sure to get new ones when it runs out. Nice and honest brand with top packaging and does what it promises. What more could you want
I was allowed to test this product. I received a small 4ml bottle with a pipette. The serum is a bit thicker than other serums but feels silky smooth on the skin.
I was pleasantly surprised how nice this serum is and how quickly it absorbs.
Despite the fact that the bottle was only 4ml, I was able to get on with it for 3 weeks. It is therefore economical to use.
I couldn't tell if it does anything for wrinkles yet, so I'm using it for too short. I do think I would buy this serum again if it is on sale because it is quite expensive but it will last a long time.
My skin also got a nice glow.
I wonder what it does after 2 months. But the first impression is very good and therefore 5 stars. I would definitely recommend this product.
This product has made a difference to my skin within days. My skin is much softer and more radiant. It doesn’t really have a scent which I like and the texture of the serum is not too greasy and it is easy to apply: I am very excited to see the results after longer term use
The product came in a very luxurious box and a nice and easy bottle. A discount code was also included. The serum contains vitamins C and E. I do see results while using it. It does what it promises. Nice to use. Do not go out in the sun after applying sunscreen. Use an SPF product on it.
A test bottle of the SkinCeutics H.A. Intensifier correct serum for testing. This is a lovely Serum for normal skin. All you have to do is put a little bit of serum oil on your fingers with the pipette and then apply it to your face. Personally, I love the serum. It makes my skin wonderfully soft. It is worth an expense in terms of price but well worth it. Then you can apply your usual day and night cream on top. Can recommend it to everyone.
This potion is perfect for combination skin, according to honest reviews. Eves-members love this serum because it evens out your skin and leaves it feeling soft without making it oily.
Is this the best cleanser for combination skin?
Paula's Choice Defense Gezicht is a true gem in my skincare regimen. Its lightweight, non-greasy formula effortlessly blends into my skin, providing a powerful shield against environmental stressors. I love how it combines antioxidants and soothing ingredients, giving my skin a boost of protection and hydration. Since incorporating this into my routine, I've noticed a reduction in redness and increased resilience to daily aggressors. It's the perfect addition to my morning routine, creating a solid foundation for makeup application. Paula's Choice once again delivers with a product that not only defends but enhances the overall health and appearance of the skin. Highly recommend for a reliable and effective defense against the elements.
This product works really well for me. I have very sensitive skin and therefore cannot handle products on my face well. But I was very good at dealing with this. The structure of this cleanser is very nice as it feels like a kind of cream. I would recommend everyone to buy this product!
Delicious product. Doesn't stick. Use it 2 times a day, morning and evening. Paula's choice has good and honest products. I use several such as the retinol and the aha. My home has visibly improved since Ipaula's choice used
I started using Paula’s choice products about a year ago and now it’s my go to brand. She has a lot of products that are perfect for my sensitive and dry skin. This gel cream removes my makeup perfectly and does not leave my skin overly dry. Def recommend!
Very good product! It does not make the skin tight after use, and moisturizes very well.
The Paula’s Choice Defense Hydrating Gel-to-Cream Cleanser is like a mini-spa for your skin. The cleanser starts as a cool gel and then transforms into a creamy cleanser that magically removes impurities without drying out your skin. Ideal for those with combination skin that can feel oily and dry at times!
A magic cleanser for combination skin? Here’s what Eves-members say:
i’ve always had oily skin and the occasional dark spots that come up. I saw recommendation online to try out the CeraVe Smoothing Cleanser and once I bought it and used it three times weekly it left my skin moisturised and smooth! The dark spots and fine bumps on my face begin to fade and within a month of using it, and my skin was left refreshed and rejuvenated. My only issue is that it’s not for everyday use as it will dry out your skin.
This does exactly what it says, I have noticed such a change in the texture of my skin since I started using this and my acne is also clearer than ever. I have issues with bumps and blemishes but since using this they have almost completely disappeared. Would highly recommend
I bought this from Superdrug and tried it out for the first time. I have been using it for a week now and I can honestly say that I am happy with the results that it has felt on my skin. My skin is usually really dry and I struggle to keep it hydrated. Using this serum has helped me a lot. When I wake up in the morning my skin feel soft and less dry skin is visible. I would definitely recommend this product along with CeraVe daily moisturiser.
What a great cleanser this is! The cleanser has salicylic acid, which helps exfoliate the skin very well! The cleanser itself is quite thin but foams very well, I always leave the cleanser on my skin for a while. When I had a small pimple that came up, it was completely gone in 2 days because of this cleanser!! But watch out if you have very sensitive skin, this cleanser may be too much for daily use!
When I damaged my skin barrier with harsh exfoliants and rough scrubbing this is what I turned to, it foams up so nice on the face it just feels like a regular cleanser but it really exfoliants/ cleans your pores spotlessly but does it so gentle it’s perfect!
This facial cleanser gently addresses visible pores, exfoliates away dead skin cells, and leaves your skin feeling smooth. It also helps balance texture, making it perfect for both dry and oily areas, according to Eves-members.
Hydration boost, bye bye dry spots
are someone who has struggled a lot with acne? I honestly couldn’t suggest anything better than this serum. Not only has it helped me clear up my acne but also with that after where I was left with acne scarring however using this serum has really helped improve the pigmentation.
This product has left my skin so glowy, dewy and hydrated. It’s so good for dry/combination skin. I use a drop on each cheek and one on my forehead since the product travels far. It has lasted me a year and a half and I have used it 2-4 times per week. After the bottle is open for sometime, if there is product around the seal area it can harden and tends to make the lid jammed but as long as you clean the area it will be fine. I will definitely be repurchasing since it has worked wonders on my skin and it’s affordable.
I've been using The Ordinary's Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 serum for a few weeks now and I'm absolutely impressed! My skin immediately feels hydrated and soft, and it absorbs quickly without feeling sticky. It has already visibly reduced the fine lines around my eyes, and my skin looks fresher and fuller. It's a simple but super effective addition to my routine, and it's also very affordable. Definitely recommended for anyone looking for a good hydrating serum!
The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 serum is an integral part of my skincare routine, and for good reason. This serum is super hydrating, feels light and absorbs well without being sticky.
I use it every morning and night after my toner, and it works perfectly under makeup. A big plus is that it won't granulate, even in combination with other creams or foundations. The texture is nice: not too thick, not too watery, and it immediately makes my skin feel fresher and smoother.
What's also nice is that this serum is super affordable. In the past, I've used more expensive hyaluronic acid serums that cost a lot more—some around $80—but to be honest, I notice almost no difference. This serum just does what it's supposed to do: hydrate and give my skin a healthy boost. And if you get that for a fraction of the price, why pay more?
This hyaluronic acid by the ordinary is truly the best step in my skincare! It hydrates your skin very well and also keeps your skin very healthy and shiny. I use this serum twice a day with a moisturizer. I notice that my house no longer has pores because of this!
A hydrating serum for combination skin? This is all you need, say Eves-members! It leaves dry areas feeling soft and the shiny areas nice and fresh. Perfect for both dry and oily skin!
The go-to serum for combination skin care
Hey everyone,
I tried a vitamin c serum for the first time in my life and I'm going to share my experience with you!
It's Paula's Choice's 25% vitamin c + glutathione clinical serum and I've had it in my routine for 2 weeks now, I only use it in the morning, but I also want it. The serum is very hydrating and gives a nice glow.
As you can see, I have acne-sensitive skin and a lot can trigger it. I haven't noticed any extra acne from this serum, I have the idea that this serum actually helps calm down. As you can see in the photos, the blemishes left over from my acne have been reduced, some more than the other, but that has more to do with the intensity of the hyperpigmentation. Furthermore, I am really satisfied with this serum & it is acne safe, which is really great. I'm happy to realize that I can just use vitamin c.
I'm going to use this serum even longer and I'll update later, because after longer use, I think the serum has even more effect. 🥰
Love, Bodile
* Thanks @ [~ paulaschoice] & @ [~weareeves] for letting me test this product! 🏻
If you have a problem with dull uneven skin then this is your hero! I use this every night with Paula’s Choice 20% Niacinamide and my skin has never looked and felt better.
This product really refines your pores, and gives a beautiful glow when I wake up. I know some may not like the smell, these products do not contain perfumes. Personally I find the natural vitamin C smell quite pleasant!
It sinks in really well, and I layer azelaic acid on top to help with hyperpigmentation. This combination works for me. I only use this at night, it is pricey however I use 1 pump and distribute on my face and neck which are the main problem areas. I will go lightly over my nose at the end. It should last a couple months this way. I bought the small tube firstly and that lasted around 3 weeks or so.
It really brightens, smooths, minimises pores and gives a lovely glow to your skin. Definitely a permanent part of my nightly routine!!
What a great product! 5 stars, and I'd love to tell you why!
Effect
I love the short-term effect of vitamin C: after just a few days, my skin is smoother, fresher and more radiant! I look forward to applying it to my face every day because it just feels great. Since I found a good care routine for my skin, I think I no longer need makeup (foundation, etc.). I think vitamin C has contributed a large part to that.
I can't say anything about the long-term effect yet. My goal is ultimately to fade a few light spots around my eyes, but so far they are still there unchanged (after 5 weeks).
Use
I use vitamin C25 twice a day, after cleansing. In the morning, I'll do the Resist Anti-Aging Day Cream with SPF afterwards. In the evening, I finish with the Skin Recovery night cream, both from Paula's Choice. Vitamin C combines well with these creams. When I first started taking vitamin C, I slowly built it up.
Fragrance
Paula's Choice does not add perfume, so all products smell neutral or sometimes like the active ingredients that happen to have a scent. That's one of the reasons I love everything about Paula's Choice so much, no unnecessary additions that don't help your skin. The scent of this vitamin C is somewhere between neutral and subtle clay-like. I find the scent pleasant.
Comparison
I have already used Paula's Choice vitamin C15 Super Booster a few times for this. This is a pipette with an odorless aqueous liquid, a few drops of which can be spread over your face. Personally, I like the liquid substance better on my face than the 25% lotion-like substance. It feels even lighter and easier to stack if you also use other care products or makeup. An important difference, of course, is that the 25% contains a higher percentage of vitamin C and a different form of vitamin C. In addition, they are combined with other antioxidants. Only one way to find out which one is better for you.
Packaging
Handy pump! Two pumps are sufficient for the entire face + neck. It feels like I'm not halfway through after five weeks of use, but that's hard to tell with this package. It's nice that light or air can never be added with this type of packaging, because vit C is sensitive to that.
Recommended?
Yes! I would buy it myself when my bottle is empty. At least I can't live without vitamin C in my routine anymore! This is really one of the products that I see the most effect in terms of healthy glow:) Maybe I'll alternate it with other Paula's Choice vitamin C products, because I like them too. The 25% is definitely one of Paula's Choice's more expensive products, so I was quite critical. But I like the price-quality ratio.
I was sent the vitamin C for testing.
I've been using this product for just over a month and am really excited about it. The structure is fine, it is thin and light and therefore easy to apply to the face. Even after application, this serum does not cause a feeling of tightness on the skin. After pressing the pump, you have just enough on your finger to treat your face, which is also very nice. I often have spots on my cheeks, and I've certainly seen a reduction in this because of the serum! All in all, definitely recommended!
This product is a vitamin C serum that I use once a day, namely in the morning. It has a nice effect and provides a moisturizing feeling. In addition, it gives an extra glow to the skin and makes your skin glow. I also noticed that the vitamin C serum helps against blemishes and makes the skin even. Definitely recommended in my opinion.
This serum is the jackpot! Eves-members are excited about the vitamin C and glutathione combo. It works on those dark spots, evens out your skin, and doesn't make it extra oily. The real Paula’s Choice 25% Vitamin C + Glutathione Clinical Serum is a winner for various skin types!
