Hi and welcome to EDS---you'll love it here Very Happy

Hmm Im not sure what the differences are between the green apple and normal antioxidant serum. But I have used the green apple one and urgh...so so sticky! I made my skin so sweet and sticky which I hated. It smells of apples are suggested by the name but it was like applying apple juice on my skin.

I didnt find that it was suitable for my acne and combo skin, and ended up using it on my hands and feet, and that didnt make my them soft.

I would suggest you get samples to try out before spending your money on the full sized serum.

Hi yeahyeah

Thank you for your reply~ Surprised

To the serum, I may get a sample to try then.

But I am so curious do all JB products also give a sticky feel? I actually have tried the JB oil-free moisturer last night but it made my face suffocated! my face breakout crazyly this morning!(full of oil!)
I'm not sure isn't it my skin not suit. to JB, or other ppl also have this experience.

I have the Green Apple version and do not experience any stickyness at all. However, I do let it dry on my face before applying any other products, that might just be the trick to it.

I have a lot of Juice products and I find that the oil-containing moisturizers don't dry sticky at all for me (I've tried both Green Apple and Nutritive). And the sunscreen isn't too sticky for me (SPF 30 light tinted moisturizer) but some people complain it's a bit heavy for them. The one product I have that IS insanely sticky is the blemish clearing serum - if I apply a thin layer all over it's ok, but if I spot-treat thickly, it's very sticky and lint will get stuck on it from my pillowcases so it looks even freakier in the AM!

Re all the Juice Beauty products that i've tried, they're ALL sticky on my face. I've tried that green apple serum, blemish serum, their green apple moisturiser with spf15, their green apple nutrient mask and green apple peel. Although with the masks and peels, its wash off, I do feel that its a bit sticky and sweet on my face though.

I;ve got a few samples of their oil free moisturiser, nutrient mosturiser, and cleansers but i dont really want to use them as I fear of the stickiness feeling on my skin...and causing breakouts.

About the moisturiser with spf 30, theres a thread on here reviewing it and a few people have said that its not sticky at all.
