I'm using it for one week, and I love it It goes into the skin very easy without leaving oily residue. It absorbs in two minutes. I usually put my regular moisturizer on the top of it. I have sensitive skin and in the winter (Canadian winter is almost 9 months Laughing ) my skin is very tight and dry. With this PSF product my skin feels much better not absolutely great ... but there is an improvement.
Although I feel great about this product, I will give it a time to conclude whether it is really working for me. I had bad experience in the past with products, for example, in the beginning the product feels great, and in two weeks I got bad allergic reaction.
So, I will continue to use it and will give another review in a few weeks to let you know if my sensitive skin tolerate it.

I've ordered this too and am hoping it's as good as their other products.

Lara1: I have to rave over PSF's Cranberry eye gel. It's amazing - not as moisturizing as eye creams, but it really does give you that "fresh, wide eyed look" as soon as you put it on in the morning. Additionally, it has matrixyl, which is supposed to be a collagen builder.

I love the 12% vitamin c serum (I have dry skin so I like the glycerine feel).
I love the Berry beneficial serum.
The StimucollC is fast becomming my fave eye product.

So, Lara1 are you still using the PSF ALA? Is your first reaction still hold? I'm considering getting this, but need more feedback from users.

Yes, I continue to use it. I like it, although it is not enough to use it along. I put it in the morning and add one of moisturizers on the top.

I have tried it also. But it leaves an oily residue on me. And I only use 2 drops of it...

But I think it's great for people with rather dry skin and staying in a dry environment.

I purchased the PSF ALA Complex and after using up the whole bottle I found that it was drying out my skin. At first I really liked it and it seemed to work quite well, but after a while I found that my skin was starting to get drier and drier. However, I have really sensitive skin and there are many good products out there that my skin just cannot tolerate. So, this is just my own personal experience with this product. I too have that same problem that in the beginning a product seems to be fantastic, but as time goes by I start to get a reaction. Crying or Very sad

I agree, this product will dry your skin if you use it without any moisturizing cream. That is why I usually put cream after applying PSF ALA Complex. The main reason I use PSF ALA Complex is it eliminates break outs on my skin. I have a very sensitive skin and without PSF ALA Complex my skin usually react to regular creams Crying or Very sad. It seems to work for now, but you are absolutely right, it will dry your skin if you use it along.

I use the ALA a few times a week so it doesn't dry my skin out at all. The price is also right.

So, what is the 'work' that the ALA complex is doing on your skin?

Did you mix it with other products?

I'm sorry to hear that you had a bad reaction to it. I know how horrible it could be Sad . How long did it take you to use the whole bottle?

I love it. It does not irritate my sensitive skin and it is the perfect amount of moisture for my skin. I wake up and my skin is very healthy looking.

I mix it with PSF's Hyaluronic Acid.
