On top of the Green Apple cleanser I just reviewed, I have been using, on and off, a few other JB GA items as well Smile

One of these other items is the Green Apple Antioxidant Serum and I couldn't wait to try this out! Very Happy

First things first, this is a liquid-gel type serum with, again, a very nice natural fruity scent that I can't quite put my finger on. It's not a strong scent though and does not stick around for long. When I started using this I was actually using a different cleanser (not the JB Green Apple Cleansing Gel) and I was amazed at how sticky this was on my skin. At the same time, I did feel like it was somehow brightening or evening out my skin right after application so, even though I really didn't like how it felt, I decided to keep going and see what the results would be. Well, not long after that my forehead started breaking out. This is quite unusual for me - I rarely break out from any products. I persevered but things got worse so I stopped using it and my forehead is now betting better (thanks to Jan Marini bioglycolic bioclear I guess). Strangely, the breakouts were really just isolated to the top of my forehead, the rest of my skin was quite happy Rolling Eyes

What I just realised, however, is that when I use this after the Juice Beauty Green Apple Cleansing Gel my skin doesn't feel sticky at all! Well, maybe a little bit sticky for the first minute or so, but after that it's fine. Meanwhile, with other cleansers (which, admittedly, were lotions not gels) my face just remained sticky until I put some moisturiser lotion on. So.... I guess this could mean that the combination of cleansing lotion AND this serum was too much for my forehead to take, but it may well be that with a gel cleanser my skin may quite like this? I'm going to start using this again tonight, with a gel cleanser, and see if I get breakout problems again. I hope not because I do like this serum - my skin looks healthy using this and I also got the impression that a scab that I had (when I tried to extract something that ended up being something that clearly wasn't ready to be extracted Embarassed

) fell off quicker with the use of this serum.
