Omega Plus Recovery Complex Serum.

"If your skin barrier has gone off the deep end, it is jammed, it is broken, it is in need of a lot of help, this is one of the products that I would recommend. This is a very high quality, very concentrated and very smartly formulated barrier repairing product. We have five different types of ceramides, we do have cholesterol, we have a ton of fatty acids, and that's actually where the name Omega is coming from. It's referring to not only that there are fatty acids in here but the type of fatty acids: Omega fatty acids, omega-3, 6, and 9 fatty acids. Fatty acids make up 25% of the skin barrier, and Omega fatty acids 3, 6, and 9 can be very beneficial for barrier healing, especially Omega 6 fatty acids which have a pretty good direct link to your skin."

"This is the Paula's Choice Omega Plus Recovery Complex Serum and I'm going to give this the heart eyes emoji. I've liked this for a really long time. This is a really, I would say this is like a serious barrier repair type of product. It is a very creamy, very rich, lots of plant oils in here. This is very rich, very creamy, it's almost like a lotion type of serum but it really gets the job done. I actually started using this in place of Liquid Gold earlier, and it was the spring or early summer when I was using this. I emptied my Liquid Gold before I purchased one, so I'm gonna switch in for this one. There's differences between the two for sure, but a big one is that this does not contain niacinamide. As far as performance on my skin, just in my experience of keeping my barrier strong and why I use these types of products, it makes sense why it's so expensive because of the ingredients that they're using."

"Paula's Choice Omega Plus Recovery Complex Serum, I love this. If your skin barrier is really ailing you, you've overdid it with your retinoids or with your exfoliants, or you're really suffering with lots of bad dehydration, get this, especially if you have access to Sephora. This is such an amazing formulation of ceramides, cholesterol, fatty acids, so many high quality fatty acids in here. That's where the Omega comes from, it's about the Omega fatty acids. We always hear about how good they are for your diet, right, like eat your Omega fatty acids, well put them on your skin too because they're amazing for your skin barrier. Your skin barrier is made up of 50% ceramides, 25% cholesterol, and 25% fatty acids. They are crucial part of your skin barrier, and that's what this serum focuses in on. It's about repairing that skin. It's quite creamy. This is just straight up creamy. It's just a creamy serum. It's just moisturizing. There's no watery, there's no gel. And there is no fragrance in this."

"Another one that I also really like is the Paula's Choice Omega Plus Recovery Complex Serum. We have ceramides and cholesterol here but they have included a ton of fatty acids and this might be a great place to look at if you're also suffering with dry skin because the lipid content in here is incredibly nourishing."

"This is a really interesting product that I think is really geared towards skin that is ailing because it's bringing out the heavy. We've got a couple different forms of ceramides, we have cholesterol, we have fatty acids, we have so many fatty acids and that's where the Omega in the name of this product comes from. It is referring to the Omega fatty acids that they're using: three, six, and nine fatty acids, and they're using them in multiple different forms. Of course we just have the straight fatty acids in here, but then we also have fatty acid content coming from various plant oils. So it really is all about strengthening a very, very weak or damaged moisture barrier, really getting in there and really helping to fortify the skin with these heavy hitting ingredients. It does have a very creamy texture, it's very moisturizing, it's almost like a light lotion for the skin. It doesn't really have occlusivity, it doesn't really act as a final layer. If you have dry ailing skin it feels awesome. It goes to every little area that feels depleted of moisture and fills it with comfort and nourishment."

"I really like this because it has a similar focus as lipid gold does with the ceramides, the cholesterol, the fatty acids. They just have a little bit more of an emphasis on fatty acids, and a little bit more of a diversity of fatty acid content here, and a lot of focus on omega 3, 6, and 9 fatty acids which are actually really crucially beneficial to your skin barrier. The core here is still the same with those barrier replenishing, strengthening, and healing lipids. This also has a cream texture. This is not going to double as a lotion or a moisturizer. It truly is a serum, something that doesn't have an occlusivity to it."
