the best moisturizer but the worst packaging
Review by Nadja
-
I don't now if it is just my bad luck but the packaging of this wonderful moisturizer let me down two times in a row. First time the pump just did not work no matter how many times and in how many different ways I tried to pump...I thought it was just my bad luck and in my next order I reordered the product, thinking that I will just replace the non-working pump with the working one. And so I did, but the new pump worked just for two weeks and then stopped. Now I have two moisturizers with two non-working pumps. So naturally I am very dissapointed with the packaging of this product which is by the way my favorite moisturizer of all times. The shipping costs quite a lot from Slovenia so I don't think I would benefit much from returning the products...now I just use a stick to get the moisturizer out :-(Product Rating
Customer Care: We are sorry to hear about the pumps. The RESIST Hydrator and Barrier Repair have new pump packaging on the way (summer/fall of 2013), truth be told we would have put this in a tube if it was in any way possible! As this formula (and the Barrier Repair) contain such potent levels of their ingredients, the air exposure of tube packaging isn't a possible alternative (unlike most of our products).

Wonderful summer day moisturizer
Review by Diana
-
I use this in the summer and spring months when the weather is less dry. It has a fantastic texture and disappears with no greasy feeling. Great as you can put it on just before applying make-up and don't have to wait for it to ''dry'' on your skin. I have dry skin in the winter, so switch to the moisture boost cream from Nov-March. Brilliant product! (Posted on 17/01/2013)Product Rating -

Review by Kitty

I have combination skin. I've been using this for a month now and I can see improvements in my sking tone - it has become even. Silky smooth texture, very pleasurable to use, does not conflict with makeup, does not ball up. Perfect! (Posted on 13/09/2012)Product Rating -
i would recommend
Review by Mathilda
-
Been using this product for a few months now and i do feel it makes a difference on my skin. I love all Paulas products and would never spend money on anything else really, so not too surprised by this new product. I do prefer to use it in the evenings though, since can get a little much underneath both antioxidant serum and sunscreen. (Posted on 28/03/2012)Product Rating -
Irritation within seconds of applying
Review by Katarina
-
I am sorry to say that I used only one of the five sample sizes purchased and within 30 seconds turned my skin red and blotchy. I didn't use any new products in conjunction with this so purely due to this product. Grateful if anyone can let me know what in this formulation is likely to cause reactions so I can make a better choice next time.Customer Care : Thank you for taking time to review this product. While the response you have indicated is not typical, we understand that each consumer is distinctly different which means they may respond differently to our products (whether used alone or combined with other products). This along with everyday environmental factors can sometimes play a part in how someone will ultimately respond to a product or combination of products. Please contact our Customer Care for an alternative product. (Posted on 17/01/2012)Product Rating -
The best cream for around the eyes
Review by Chelo

Excellent for oily and combination skin on summer, and really suberb for around the eyes. On winter I need to use with combination of resist super antioxidant concentrate serum. (Posted on 28/11/2011)Product Rating -

My opinion about product:Product Rating
skin -clearing effect (past beakoust,younger-looking skin)
good moisturizer for my combination skin
soft texture,creamy without be greasy
product can be use in place of your eye cream
it's look a like "eraser" for my skin;if you apply it before sleep,in the morning you will have skin clear & soft
good quality-price : 25,50 euro for 50 ml of product
they are saying 100% fragrance ,but for me smells a bit,it's not bad anyway
remove "red marks" from my skin,reduce redness and irritation
I like the packaging and and in general packaging Paula's Choice products range Resist (Posted on 11/11/2011) -
Very good
Review by Edro

Very nice product. Definitely a good anti redness effect. I'm not sure it helps keep my skin clear, but it doesn't make it worse. A good replacement to the Regenerist, about the same price and better ingredients. A keeper. (Posted on 05/09/2011)Product Rating -
Best anti-redness !
Review by Eric
-
I've waited for more than one month to leave a feedback though I saw improvements of my skin within days (I bought it on Paula's US website when it was launched in June). This is simply the most incredible skincare product I've ever used, it has amazing abilities to fight redness and irritation (it's truly the best soothing product to use after shaving). This is definitely not a cream-gel (this description matches better the RESIST Barrier Repair Moisturizer) but a lightweight cream. It intensely moisturizes my oily & dehydrated skin without any greasy afterfeel, it dries to a matte/satin finish and leaves my skin so soft/silky (just like clean healthy skin). It even has allowed me to use again some products I discarted because of bad reactions (dryness and parched skin from the 2% BHA Liquid, burning sensation and redness from the HYDRALIGHT Toner). Really worth the price in every aspect. I will never stop using it, I'm in love :-D (Posted on 26/07/2011)Product Rating

How is the RESIST Anti-Aging Clear Skin Hydrator different from the other Paula's Choice facial moisturizers?
RESIST Anti-Aging Clear Skin Hydrator is a state-of-the-art formula specifically designed to address the advanced needs of those concerned with the frustrating combination of wrinkles and breakouts.
RESIST Anti-Aging Clear Skin Hydrator contains a special complex of ingredients that works to repair signs of aging as it helps keep skin clear and encourage healing of discolorations (red marks) from breakouts. And because it's a moisturizer, it also provides hydration for smoother, softer, younger-looking skin.
Despite the advanced nature of this formula, it bears the formulary hallmarks of every Paula's Choice facial moisturizer. All of them are designed to supply skin with what it needs to look and feel its best.
How come RESIST Anti-Aging Clear Skin Hydrator doesn't contain retinol?
Although retinol is an anti-aging superstar ingredient, it's important to keep in mind that it is not the only superstar to consider. Paula and her team developed this unique formula around the benefits of niacinamide with stabilized vitamin C and a specialized skin-clearing complex. Between these and other key ingredients such as antioxidants, skin that's showing signs of aging yet still breaking out is able to repair itself and help reduce signs of past breakouts. If you wish to add a product with retinol to your anti-aging routine, consider one of our serums (note that the RESIST Super Antioxidant Concentrate Serum does not contain retinol).
Do I still need to use my anti-acne products with this moisturizer?
Yes. Although we'd love it if this weren't true, the fact is that it requires more than one product to keep acne in check. Essential are a gentle, water-soluble cleanser, a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) exfoliant that contains salicylic acid, and a topical disinfectant medicated with benzoyl peroxide. Using these types of products along with RESIST Anti-Aging Clear Skin Hydrator ensures you're combining the right ingredients to manage breakouts while also helping your skin look and act younger.
