Rebecca, thank you for your advice. I hear ya, oils have a bad rep when it comes to pimples. But it really depends on what skin type you have. Some are more prone to acne and should avoid them completely. For dry skin, they’re a godsend.

I don’t think Resist Omega Complex would cause any problems to you but you can always mix it with a moisturizer/serum if you find it too heavy.

Even though I’m 55, I still find myself in this camp, afraid to have a breakout and probably remembering my years of oily, acne-prone skin. Just a note that as I mentioned before, I am a big fan of Hanskin’s Hyaluron Skin Essence, which some might find too light-feeling, but it certainly shouldn’t scare anybody concerned about breakouts! And if I put it on and my skin still feels tight afterwards, I just pat in another layer. It works for me. Not cheap, but lasts a long time.

I just placed an order with Paula’s Choice and I got a free full-size Resist Omega Complex. Do you think this would be OK to use, or too heavy for my skin? I know–you can’t really tell without knowing me. But reviewers say this product does not break them out and I have been having good luck with SkinActives Every Lipid Serum, and I would never have believed my skin could tolerate such oil before I tried it. I just avoid my chin, which is where I’m most likely to break out.

Also, I have used and liked the Trilogy Rosehip Oil, and it did not break me out, either. Hope this helps some people who worry about the dry/breakout issue. I am pretty old to still have this problem, but I hope some of your younger followers can find a good balance with your advice.
