And I just bought a jar of the Tatcha product.  At least I'll know next time.

$20 vs $69.

I'm not familiar with this brand, but have used lots of Isomers in the past.  What is your experience?

Looking for something that is less sticky on my skin.  So many of the serums/creams I've bought in the last few years seem sticky.  

Fortunately, I have great skin and not many lines.

Thanks!

@monicakm - thanks for posting this.  I just purchased a Naturium Retinol - it's the one you purchased - to replace my PTR when done with that.  Also on my wish list is the Azelaic gel for when I'm done with my current Paula's Choice Azelaic cream.  This water cream looks good and can't beat the price  Looking forward to trying the retinol and trying other items too.

I like the Naturium brand.  I currently have a boatload of products and favorites, but would consider Naturium options in the future.

I'm fixin to purchase 3 of the Naturium products:

1. Hyaluronic Acid Essence - 2% Hyaluronic Acid
2. Purple Ginseng Cleansing Balm
3. Azelaic Acid Emulsion 10%

I'm really impressed by the reviews.  If I like these 3 products, then I will move on to others as I run out of my Paula's Choice & PTR.

There are several Paula's Choice serums I will always use but her Azelaic Acid never seemed to be as effective as I hoped it would.  Perhaps I'll see better results with Naturium

I'm going to check them out again today.  I, too, have used some Paula's Choice items for a long time, but maybe it is time for a change.

@SurferWife - I find I am moving away from more and more of Paula's Choice products.  Either I don't think they are working for me anymore or because of cost.  There is one thing I will always buy but am looking around.  Good luck with your choices!

This looks like a nice dupe for all the water creams out there that contain artificial dyes to make them look blue, not necessary.

@JudyL and @JudyL 

I have a few Paula's Choice serums/boosters that I don't want to be without, but I've never cared for her cleansers, eye creams or moisturizers.  So, I stick with what I know I love and (at least right now) use Peter Thomas Roth moisturizers and eye creams, as well as WEN skin care, but it is limited.  I used to be the "faithful to one line" skincare user, but these days there are so many great lines, I'm just trying to find a few more economical replacements for my PTR.

I'll let y'all know how I like the Naturium.  The 3 products I ordered shipped today, but I think they're on a slow boat to China. 😞

@SurferWife - Looking forward to hearing how you like the Natrium products.  Its funny how some products work for one person and not another.  The Paula's Choice moisturizer I use is the one thing I won't do without.  LOL  The serums - esp. the discoloration serum - just seem blah to me.  Also the cost is a factor so thats why I am trying alternatives.
