Paula's Choice-RESIST Anti-Aging Clear Skin Hydrator Moisturizer, 1.7 oz Bottle

I am in my 50s and have oily skin, it's so hard finding a good moisturizer for aging oily skin. I have tried so many, and this is the first one, that moisturizes while not making me feel oily. I also hate having heavy feeling products on my face. This moisturizer makes my skin feel soft, fresh, and clean. My face glows while not feeling oily and heavy, while delivering anti-aging benefits.

This stuff is incredible. I've tried a bunch of Paula's Choice stuff, trying to find what works best for my difficult skin. I have combination skin (oily nose and forehead) but my skin also tends to get dehydrated and irritated when I use products that are too light (such as Paula's Choice Oil Free Moisturizer), but my pores get clogged if I use stuff that's too hydrating. Thanks, genetics. For reference, I'm a 30 year-old male with fair skin.This stuff is actually a great balance between being a light moisturizer that's also slightly more hydrating than the Oil Free product they offer. At first I was a little hesitant, because this stuff is THICK. It almost has the consistency of whipped honey or something. I thought it was going to be terrible because my pores clog easily, but it rubs in really well and it's very soothing on my skin after a shower. It's kind of a "dry" moisturizer, if that makes sense. It's not watery and liquidy like I was expecting, My face is soft to the touch, not tacky or sticky. It also doesn't clog my pores, which is really nice.I use this after the Hydralight Toner, which is a really light and soothing toner that's a great place to start if you aren't familiar with toners or if you have sensitive skin. I used their Pore Reducing toner and it was way too harsh on my skin and made my nose super tight and shiny. Here's my routine, and I think it's wonderful if you have combo skin that tends to get dry. All of these products are Paula's Choice:1. Oil Reducing Cleanser2. Hydralight Refreshing Toner3. 2% BHA Gel (I only use this 2-3 times a week)4. RESIST Super Antioxidant Serum (super lightweight, feels great on skin)5. RESIST Clear Skin Hydrator Moisturizer (This Product)This might seem a little excessive, but it takes me like 5 minutes to put all of this on in the morning, and my skin looks and feels better than it has in years. I think these products are great if you have tried Cetaphil and CeraVe and find that you get clogged pores or still have oily skin. It's also worth noting that a little of this moisturizer goes a long way, so while it seems like a huge ripoff to get 1.7oz in the bottle for $20, I actually see this moisturizer lasting just as long as a bottle twice the size of thinner stuff.

I think that this toner is as effective as the "high end" brands. I see a difference in my pores and skin clarity when using it at both day and night routines.

My bottle came with a broken pump. I’ve waited too long to try this brand so I decided not to return it and open it up. It’s a gel like moisturizer. I have oily combo skin. Very light weight. Has a velvet feel to it. Wish the cap wasn’t broken!

I have been using this moisturizer for a long time now. It’s definitely made my pores less visible. I have oily skin very prone to acne but I haven’t had any issues with this one. It has an odd smell, sort of like paper and almost smoky, but it goes away within a minute or so of putting it on. I use it on my face and neck and it feels nice, not greasy, and my skin looks good.

Love this product. Great moisturizer!Used after Paul's Choice Calm cleanser best duo for my aging skin.

The best I have found

I wanted to like this product and this line so badly. I know Paulas Choice is a quality brand which is why I gave it over a month of use before I stopped using. Did not leave my face feeling hydrated, rather it made my face oily without the satisfaction of hydration. Would not recommend for oily skin, as I am normal to combo and it made my t zone sooo shiny.

Just use it you will never regret

Great product, the only negative would be the packaging as you can’t squeeze it out

Great pump dispenser makes application easy

This one is really good skincare purchase of mine so far! Evened out my skin to great extent even though being irregular user!! Whenever I used it showed a great result by using 7 days continuously

When applied on top on The ordinary actives it started pilling and flaking. Otherwise its lightweight. Hopefully I will find a way to work out this moisturizer but not something I go grabing for.
