I have combination/dry skin. After using this cream I have to reaply the Moisture Boost Hydrating Treatment Cream which I love on top because by itself it doesn´t moisturize my skin at all, it leaves my skin feeling tight and uncomfortable. The ingredient list is amazing there´s no doubt about that but this cream just doesn´t work for me.
Customer Care: The choice of the perfect moisturizer depends i.a. on your personal preference. Sometimes you have to try out which moisturizer suits your skin best. For the dry parts of a combination skin we advise the use of the Moisture Boost Hydrating Treatment Cream or Skin Recovery Moisturizer.

I really wanted to believe this product would fill my expectations due to its impressive assortment of ingredients which I know they're really beneficial for the skin but after a lot of trials I have to admit isn't for me. After the product has absorbed my skin looks shiny and ... how to say?, it remembered me when I used to apply a moisturizer with alcohol in the past. It means more rough and cracked. I suppose some ingredient/s here maybe are not so good for my skin as for the other users(most of them love it). Although usually your products work for me(most of them amazing), what a shame I cannot use your last innovating product. I give it 3 stars because although it made me feel disappointed I know it's a good product, .
I cannot agree with Nell's review but I do for Eric's review(yes, the pump becomes worse after several weeks).

Regarding the pump of the Barrier Repair Moisturizer: There have been some problems with the airless pump system in the beginning after the launch of this product, but these problems have been solved by the manufacturer of the pump system in the
meantime. (Posted on 12/02/2010)

I want to write a review for this because I am truly amazed by this product. I´m a great sceptic (also I´ve grown weary regarding cosmetic claims, thanks to reading Paula´s reviews and books for many years), so I was a little dubious that Paula, while surely having created a solid product, was making these kind of claims for the new moisturizer, they are very near or even right on the thin red line to marketing hype as usual in the world of skincare.
But what can I say? After using this moisturizer for four weeks, I am left with balanced, glowing, blemishfree and smooth skin, like I haven´t had in years (I´m not old, but at 34 not as fresh as I used to be). I also had a stubborn patch of atopic dermatitis on my eye that wouldn´t budge with either cortisone nor Elidel (a drug for Neurodermitis), it went away in days, when using nothing but Resist.
I am extremely happy that this cream exists, and I will continue using it morning (plus mineral sunscreen spf 25) and nights (with additional application of Skin Recovery Moisturizer, since my skin is too dry otherwise) as long as Paula doesn´t come out with something even more advanced as science progresses. I would only wish for a more emollient version, so I wouldn´t have to use an additional step in the evening.
Thank you Paula, you did a lot for me and the health of my skin since I discovered your books in 1994! (Posted on 17/12/2009)

Great treatment moisturizer for combination skin, lovely gel-cream consistency, neither greasiness nor redness upon application, no smell at all, nice silky feeling on the skin, outstanding protective formula, very light irritation around the nose (the most sensitive part of my face, nothing unbearable)… it slightly lacks spreadability but spraying toner on fingers before application fixes this.

The only problem comes from the pump which works fine at the beginning then doesn't reset completely anymore after one or two weeks.

Thank you ♥Paula♥, I love this moisturizer (but please, improve the packaging) :-) (Posted on 12/12/2009)
