I read that the serum is oil free and for oilier skin, whereas the cream is for drier skin. But I've read some reviews from users with oily skin that they prefer the cream versus the serum. For anyone who has used the serum, does it make your oily skin too dry? If that's the case, than is the cream the better way to go?

TIA!

I have oily skin and just started the transformation serum. I like it a lot, it seems to work (although it's still early days). It doesn't dry my skin or makes it mat for hours, though.

I have combo skin with an oily T-zone and I use the cream every night, or else my Bioclear lotion will dry out my skin. I love the texture of the cream and it doesn't make me oilier.

I've never used the cream but love the serum...especially for summertime. It's definitely a LIGHT moisturizer.

Thank you everyone.

I had ordered the serum yesterday but just changed it to the cream. I have the bioclear cream and it goes on really smoothly on my skin. Doesn't make my oily skin any oilier in the AM. Hopefully the transformation cream will be okay otherwise I'll have to trade it in for the serum. *crossing my fingers*

dollbird - how is the JM glycolic cleanser for you? I just ordered that too. Do you use it AM and PM? I know it's not for makeup removal so I was thinking about using it in the AM. Did you have any purging in the beginning?
