My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Visit Omega+ Complex Serum with Chia + Flaxseed Paula's Choice is primarily intended for skin that lacks comfort and is prone to dryness, dehydration, or a weakened skin barrier. This serum aims to restore the skin's lipid balance, strengthen its protective function, and soothe feelings of discomfort. The formula, rich in plant oils and ceramides, is particularly suitable for dry, sensitive, or mature skin, but can also be used on normal skin during periods of skin stress or environmental damage.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three key active ingredients stand out in this serum:

• Chia and Flax Oils Rich in omega-3 and omega-6, these plant oils provide essential fatty acids that help repair the skin barrier, reduce water loss, and improve skin suppleness. Their anti-inflammatory action helps soothe redness and irritation.
• Complex ceramides Ceramides are lipids that occur naturally in the skin. Applying them externally helps to strengthen cell cohesion, limit dehydration, and restore a healthy skin barrier, which is essential for dry or sensitive skin.
• Hyaluronic acid : Present in the form of sodium hyaluronate, it retains water in the epidermis, plumps the skin, and smooths dehydration lines, providing immediate and long-lasting hydration.

The synergy of these active ingredients gives the product remarkable effectiveness in repairing and moisturizing the skin.

Tips and Application Ritual

I apply this serum in the morning and/or evening, on clean skin, before moisturizer. It fits perfectly into a minimalist routine or as a complement to gentle active ingredients (niacinamide, peptides). I avoid combining it with powerful exfoliating active ingredients (AHA/BHA) or retinol in the same application, to preserve skin tolerance.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

This serum stands out for its rich, biomimetic formula, ideal for restoring the skin barrier and soothing dry or sensitive skin. Its enveloping, non-greasy texture is a real asset. The only downside is the presence of potentially comedogenic oils, which should be monitored on very oily or acne-prone skin. In conclusion, this is an excellent choice for strengthening and protecting fragile skin.
