Super cream
Review by Ami

I have fallen in love with this gorgeous cream!Product Rating
It feels marvelous as soon as I start putting it on, my skin looks and feels much better. I have exzema prone dry skin, most dry patches are gone. Have been using this since the beginning of december 2011 and will re-order.
I don't think the smell is horrible and I'm happy there's no perfume in it. (Posted on 15/02/2012) -
Seems like a good moisturizer but has a horrible scent
Review by Mack
-
This moisturizer seemed pretty good for dry skin (I have combined skin with very dry areas) and it seemed to work well. But I just couldn't take the smell.Product Rating
It seemed like a combination of fish and eggs and I ended up having to wash the creme off, because I couldn't breathe past the smell.
I kept it on for almost two hours and the smell was still very dominating, it gave me a headache.
Overall it seems to work pretty well on dry skin, so if you can get past the smell, it should be a pretty good moisturizer.
Customer care: What you smell is the scent of one or more of the ingredients used for the production of the Skin Recovery Moisturizer. The smell of this product can be interpreted differently from one customer to the next based on their sensitivity level.
We advise you to try out the Moisture Boost Hydrating Treatment Cream. (Posted on 26/02/2010) -
Good but not unprecedented
Review by Elena
-
Paula sets such a high bar for products quality, that when I feel that product just matches competition, it becomes a bit of disappointment. I tried almost the full Skin Recover set and every product there felt like the best I ever tried, unprecedented. This is the only cream in the set which though being very good, nourishing and giving nice feeling, gave impression of an average night moisturizer especially when compared to Clinique super rescue antioxidant night moisturizer (highly rated by Paula herself). The feeling of being average comes from the quite ordinary texture and the “nothing special” feeling when applied, not as smooth as the cream I mention before or as other products from Paula, like the Skin Recovery day cream with SPF for example. Still a great night moisturizer to buy, just not as breakthrough as the rest of Paula’s line. (Posted on 26/09/2009)Product Rating -
Wonderful for dry itchy skin
Review by Anne

I've got an oversensitive, very dry skin. It stings and itches if anything even slightly fragranced gets near it and I have frequent outbreaks of dermatitis on my face. I have been using this moisturiser for five years. It's the only thing I have ever found which moisturises my dry skin, does not sting or itch and sinks in beautifully without leaving me greasy. Love it,t love it, love it. (Posted on 17/09/2009)Product Rating -
Fantastic Product
Review by Julie

This has to be the most gorgeous moisturiser that I have ever tried - and I have tried a lot! It feels very luxurious and creamy to put on. Although it states for normal to dry, I have oily skin and still get on wonderfully with this product.Product Rating
I use it on my face at night, and as an eyecream. Despite being very creamy, it sinks in and sits very well under foundation. It does not make your skin sticky or feel heavy and makes your face feel very comfortable, clean and moisturised.
I cannot rate this product highly enough and I am on my third tube.
Oh, and I used it when I had a new tattoo done = helped heal the tattoo quickly and without any irritation. (Posted on 05/07/2009)
Apply over dry areas after cleansing, toning, or exfoliating. Also excellent for use as an eye cream or anywhere on the face, neck, or chest. For daytime, if needed, wear under an SPF 15 product.

My skin is dry. Which moisturizer do you recommend?
Several Paula's Choice moisturizers would work well for you. Choosing the perfect moisturizer has a lot to do with personal preference and trying a product to determine which one works best on your skin. A good place to start is with our Resist Barrier Repair Moisturizer but if you want a richer texture, try our Moisture Boost Hydrating Treatment Cream. Our most emollient moisturizer is the Skin Recovery Moisturizer. It is also helpful to use our Skin Recovery Super Antioxidant in combination with (on top of or underneath) any moisturizer you apply. You may also wish to treat your dry skin to frequent applications of our Skin Recovery Hydrating Treatment Mask.
I have very dry skin. Which moisturizer should I use?
Our Skin Recovery Moisturizer is designed for dry to very dry skin.
