Across 28 YouTube reviews, the Paula’s Choice Omega+ Complex Serum earns a Summa score of 4.5/5, ranking #2 among Serums & Treatments. Reviewers most often praise its hydration, ingredients, texture & absorption, while the most common criticisms concern texture & absorption, skin irritation/sensitivity.
The Omega+ Complex Serum is widely praised for its hydration and nourishing effects, with many reviewers (32 mentions) saying it deeply hydrates, replenishes moisture, and leaves skin glowing or softened. Reviewers frequently highlight the ingredient profile (30 mentions), noting ceramides, omega‑3/6/9 fatty acids, antioxidants, glycerin and other soothing oils as strengths and pointing out fragrance‑free, mostly natural formulation. The serum’s texture and absorption are also commended (25 mentions) — described as lightweight, whipped, non‑greasy, and easy to layer — and multiple reviewers (20 mentions overall) call it suitable for various skin types, especially dehydrated or dry skin. Overall impressions emphasize effectiveness at restoring the skin barrier, soothing and strengthening skin over time, and good value for the quantity provided.
Criticisms center on texture and wearability for oilier skin types (11 mentions), with reviewers calling the serum quite thick or rich for a serum, prone to pilling under other products or sunscreen, and sometimes leaving an oily or heavy finish. Several reviewers (4 mentions) felt it could be problematic for acne‑prone or oily skin because of potentially comedogenic ingredients like shea butter and certain oils, and a few reported breakouts. A smaller number found it not hydrating enough for extremely dry skin or not ideal under makeup, and a couple mentioned a faint flaxseed/omega scent; a very few reviewers did not notice benefits or wanted higher SPF in related products.
