Wonderful!
I am so in love with the Moisture Boost Hydrating Treatment Cream. I have been using Paula's products for about 6 months. My skin has never had the glow it has now. I am 60 and I also have my mom using her products. Before her skin was dry and nothing was helping. Now she has the glow too! She's so thrilled.
I use her cleansers, toners, bha, aha, cream concealer, etc, etc, etc. Little by little I'm trying everything and am converting every type of product I use to Paula's Choice.
I'm hooked on Paula and what's more - I completely trust her! She's a winner!
Thanks Paula!

Wonderful!!
I absolutely love this moisturizer for night time. I originally tried the Resist Barrier Moisturizer w/ Retinol, but it it wasn't giving me the level of moisture I wanted. My skin is apparently even drier than I realized. When I tried the Moisture Boost I fell inlove. It leaves my skin wonderfully hydrated and silky smooth. Best of all, it leaves no greasy residue feeling. Perfect for those struggling with dry skin! Thank you Paula!!

Moisture boost...gentle but
Recently purchased to combat dry winter skin. This product is rather thick and hard to spread,so you need more. It is good for sensitive skin. I was looking for something to use with my 1% Retinol product. Gentle formula but just another basic moisturizer. Customer Care Response: Thank you for your review. This product is designed with many anti-inflammatory ingredients and anti-aging ingredients so it is an excellent moisturizer for dry skin. We do have other options if you did not like the texture such as the Skin Recovery Moisturizer for very dry skin or the Resist Barrier Repair Moisturizer which is a light silky lotion. We will credit you for this product since you were not happy with it and feel free to contact customer care so that we may help you find another option.

Caused some breakouts
I trialed this twice. Stopped using it when the red spots did not go away. Went back to my Vanicream and the spots disappeared. Did this trial again and same results. I thought it was too thin around the eyes-when I woke up, the skin around my eyes was tight. My skin can be ultra sensitive so on to something else. Customer Care Response: Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear of your experience with this product. While the response you have indicated is not typical, we do understand that each customer is uniquely different in how they will respond to products or ingredients. This along with everyday environmental factors can sometimes play a part in how someone will ultimately respond to a product or combination of products. For that reason, we have located your account information and applied a credit for the product. Feel free to contact customer care so that we may discuss other options for you to try.

Love the feel!
I'm now on my 4th tube of Moisture Boost Cream. I love the way my skin feels! Even though I am in my 60's I have dry skin only in the winter, so this works well. In the summer I simply apply less cream. I use the cream under my eyes and no longer purchase a cream specifically for under eyes. Paula's products are the best I've found.
—Willa
favorite moisturizer
I have dry sensitive skin. After years of using products that didn't help my skin (including Cetaphil - the bar soap, which I've since learned is more drying than the lotion), I have finally found relief with Paula's products. I get compliments on my skin all the time since I've been using them. my only complaint---sorry Paula because I do LOVE your products and my skin would be lost without them---is that the prices have been steadily creeping up over time while the packaging feels slighter. I stop myself from ordering more products each time I place an order because it just feels too steep. Also, I really miss the free samples of ANY product, not just the select few at checkout. The prices have just been kinda bugging me over time so I felt it was time to finally say something. Customer Care Response: Thank you for your review! The main reasons products are put in new packaging is usually because we find more suitable containers that are either better for the environment, are easier to use, or are better at protecting the formula. Sometimes it is because the cost of producing the product has gone up significantly. Paula realizes that her products may not always meet everyone's beauty budget but because she is so deeply committed to making sure women only use the best products possible she has created Beautypedia.com which you may check out for lower priced options. Also, sign up for our free emails for notice of specials and promotions we have every month. Please contact customer care with any questions, we are happy to help.

Luxurious
I have tried every one of Paula's moisturizers and think they are all pretty terrific. But the Moisture Boost Hydrating Treatment Cream is the perfect combination of ingredients for me to use this most often. It hydrates without being too heavy or greasy. It contains vitamin C and niacinamide, which my skin LOVES. And this formula is the most elegant for me; it leaves a glowy, dewy finish on my face that makes my skin look radiant. I've been a fan of Paula's products since 2003 and love how she keeps adding newer, state of the art products to her line. But I am still most fond of the simplest products - Moisture Boost Cleanser, Skin Balancing Toner, BHA's and this moisturizer! Thank you, Paula, for keeping my skin so healthy and clear!
—Diane
Didn't work for me
I bought this because my skin was becoming dry. I really did want this product to work, as it sounded great (and as the majority of reviews are glowing)! But, unfortunately it just didn't work for me. When I first put it on, it felt like it there was a thick layer of cream on my face. It didn't really seem to sink in for a long time. Also, once it was clear that it was a bit too thick for my face, I put it on my body, but it still was too thick. However, initial application aside, I kept applying it because it has great reviews and because it had great ingredients. Also, I needed something to help combat my dryness. At first, it seemed to help my dryness, but after a few uses, I developed milia around the nose and eye area, which were really unattractive!!! At first I thought they were pimples, but after doing some reading, I found out they were milia and that they are hard to treat (they need to be physically removed). I've tried BHA, but it didn't really work. Unfortunately, this product is definitely a miss for me. Customer Care Response: Thank you for taking time to review this product. We can understand how frustrating this experience must be. 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. For that reason, we have located your account information and applied a credit for the product. We suggest a lighter moisturizer such as the Resist Anti-Aging Clear Skin Hydrator or the HydraLight Moisture Infusing Lotion to try instead and see how they work for you. We do see you have purchased these recently so please let us know how they work for you. Milia are genetic and you would need to have them removed by a dermatologist as you have mentioned but continue using the 2% BHA to help as much as possible to prevent them from occurring. Please contact our customer care team if we can be of further assistance.

I would love to give this cream more than 5 stars. My dry dehydrated sensitve skin was in search of the right product to treat all three problems. And this is the ONLY that hydrates, moisturizes and doesn't itch my face. I am in love with this cream, goes great under makeup. This is my all time day and night cream. Please never change this or add spf to it. I have tried numerous other brands. Hydrating creams that don't hydrate enough, moisturizes that don't moisturize enough and products that are so uncomfortable on my sensitive skin. I am hooked and anyone with a skin like me who wants a great product without spending a lot of money (like i did on estee lauder cream which didn't work) should try this cream.
—taran
Great eye contour cream!
This cream has a lovely lightweight consistency that you wouldn't expect in a product aimed at dry skin. I use it morning and night on my undereye area and it has made a huge difference in its texture and appeareance. My concealer goes on smoothly and never cakes! Since I don't use it on the rest of my face a tube of this lasts forever!
—Isa
I Love This Moisturizer!
I bought this after trying the Moisture Recovery. It felt a little heavy on my face for summer but I love this Moisture Boost! I have been a long tome sufferer with rosacea and sometimes eczema and this took care of all my problems! No irritations or breakouts and my skin feels soft and smooth! I love the fact that I don't have to use a seperate eye cream! I now use the toner too and just bought the acne treatment kit for my grandaughter. It would be nice if you made a bigger tube but then it would cost more!! Thank you for the WONDERFUL products!!!
—Kay
One of Paula's Best Products
I have been using Paula's products on and off for years. I have tried just about everything in her line, and other lines of skin care BUT believe me, This is the best on the market. I always keep coming back for more. Nothing else will hydrate your skin as well with out causing any irratation or breakouts , or feeling greasy. This cream is perfection! I agree that the tube doesn't last that long and would love 2 tubes, even 3 tubes , at a discounted rate, Actually, I could use an entire case...I use it on everything. It's that good!! Customer Care Response: Thank you for your feedback, we will pass it along to Paula and her Marketing Team.
—Cornelia
Moisture Boost Hydrating Treatment Cream
I use this as an eye cream, morning and night. While I have never truly needed a moisturiser(oily, acne-prone skin), this has been the most wonderful eye cream for me, without causing milia around the eyes or any irritation, which I had experienced with other skincare line's "eye cream". I have also noticed, after four months use, that little lines around and directly under my eyes are not truly visible anymore.
—Tina
Great Product!!
I have been using this moisturizer for about 6 weeks and it has been great for my skin! I have dry acne prone skin, and the more dry it gets, the more I tend to breakout. Anyway, I am 26 years old and this moisterizer has really helped my dry dehyrated skin..and no breakouts! The reason I gave it a 4 is because I don't think it would be moisterizing enough for winter, but I'm sure the skin recovery would be PERFECT for me. Can't wait to try that! Also, may I add that the customer service at Paula
s Choice is incredible! Thank You!
—Marysue
The best!
This is by far the best moisturizer I have ever used. I am a long time Paula's Choice customer with dry skin that only gotten drier since giving birth to my first child 5 months ago. I also get an occasional blemish here and there. This cream leaves my skin feeling hydrated and smooth, but not greasy and doesn't make me break out. My only complaint is that the small tube does not last me very long and I end up reordering this far more frequently than the rest of my skincare regimen. I would gladly pay more for a larger size! (Or maybe a two pack at a slight discount.) Thank you for helping keep my skin beautiful!
—Jennifer
Willa
I tried Paula's moisturizer years ago and wasn't satisfied with how it made my face feel. I ordered packets of Moisture Boost and I love it.. doesn't feel sticky on my face, so smooth, not greasy. I've found a moisturizer, Moisture Boost to use under the eyes as well as on my face! Thanks Paula!
—Willa
The Best!
This was my first ever purchase from Paula's Choice and I don't regret it one bit. I use prescription retinol and my skin has a tendancy to get dry and flaky and just irritated. I ordered this cream on a whim and since I first put it on my skin has transformed into smooth, silky, glowy skin - not the flaky mess it was just 24 hours before. It doesn't break me out and it sinks in easily, giving me the perfect amount of moisture for my skin. I will buy this one again and again - especially now that the Chicago winters are coming up. Thanks for such a great product!
—Vanessa
Great during the winter!
I wear this under my makeup during the winter months. I have dry/blemish prone skin. It does make me break out a little more than the mattifying moisturizer but it is perfect (more mosturizing this the other) in the winter.
—Alison
The best stuff
When I turned 40 last year I decided I needed to take better care of my fair skin. After trying a few drug store products I was very unhappy and overwhelmed at all the choices and "claims." My neighbor suggested Paula's Choice and I have been hooked since. I was a diehard fan of Lubriderm but this product is wonderful. So moisturizing! I use it every other night Retin-A. My skin has never looked better. Thank you Paula.
—Kirsten
Just Faaabulous
I've recently realized my skin has changed from it's oily, acne prone nature into a drier version. Especially around the eyes. So I decided to try this cream. I had ordered the Hydralight Moisture Infusing Lotion in the past, but every time I used it I could expect a breakout like clockwork and it didn't really take care of my drier areas. Not to mention it always smelled like vinegar. Now THIS cream... it was a little daunting at first because of its much thicker consistency, but I tried it once and knew it was for me. Very silky, I've never said this about skincare before, but it's elegant! And never a breakout! Beautiful, Paula! Thanks again!
—Serene Pedersen
Love it, but it contains GLUTEN!
I love this product and all of the Moisture Boost products for my dry, yet acne-prone skin. Unfortunately, I have Celiac Disease and while, I can't absorb gluten (under the ingredient Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein), applying the moisturizer puts me at risk for ingesting it either from my hands, or through contact during the day with my face. Even a kiss on the cheek, followed by a kiss on he lips could transfer gluten. I want to keep using this product, but must stop due to this. Many of the other moisturizers do not contain Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein and it is my hope Paula could try to make as many of her products Gluten Free as possible and advertise them as so. Otherwise, it is a wonderful moisterizer!
—Katie P.
Love this moisturizer!
I have been using this moisturizer for several months, and my skin has never felt better! It's soft and smooth, and I don't get the dry scaly patches on my cheeks anymore! Thanks for another keeper, Paula!
—Maria
Best eye cream
I use this as an eye cream and I love it! And its affordable too
—Ann
Great for sensitive skin!
I am so happy to have found a moisturizer for my ultra sensitive skin which is up to date with the latest in anti-aging skincare. This is the only one I've found that won't irritate my skin. It's a great eye cream as well and I like the smaller size-perfect for air plane travel!
—Victoria
Fabulousss
So light but yet very hydrating. My skin is extremely sensitive, and it didn't sting my face at all!
—Dana Lichvar
very nice
very nice cream! I put it on almost every night either on the whole face or under my eyes....it doesn't smell, goes on nicely, skin feels and looks very good in the morning and it has antioxidants in it!
—G
Not good for around the eyes
This cream is not good around the eyes. It melts into your eyes and makes them water a bit and eventually interferes with your vision.
Customer Care Response: We are sorry to hear about your experience with this product. Please contact our Customer Service Team for further assistance in this matter.

Improvising what works best for my skin
I use the entire Balancing Skin Care line, and I LOVE the Skin Moisturizing Moisture Gel, but I occasionally needed a little more moisture. I purchased some of the Moisture Boost Hydrating Cream, but found it didn't have much 'slip' to it and was quite thick on my skin. So in the last couple of days I've mixed the two....equal amounts of the Moisturizing Gel and the Hydrating Cream...and it was PERFECT!!!! I had been thinking of writing and asking Paula to consider a 'richer' or more moisturizing formula for the Balancing Line, in ADDITION to the Moisturizing Gel, but I believe I've just found the solution. (PLEASE, PLEASE don't ever change the Moisturizing Gel!!!)I wanted to share this idea in the event anyone else might want to try!
—Cheryl Leui
Better than high end moisturizers
I've used this on and off and have decided that I will stop experimenting. I paid $$$ for high end creams and other ones that profess to moisturize, but my skin never feels as dewy and plumped as it is after using this one. I'm 56 with dry, crepey skin and this is the ONLY moisturizer that makes it look plumped and lovely. It's a keeper, I hope the formula never changes.
—Cindy
Amazing, but lack of antioxidants?
Dissapointed in lack of antioxidants as Paula has "bagged" out other moisturizers for the same thing but read the ingrediants list?!?! Go figure. Anyway, product is silky smooth and great for dry but not very dry skin :D
—Ana Matov
Finally...
I normally have combination, oily skin. So for a long time I used PC balance moisture. It is also great! However, recently I developed excema on my face, and NOTHING worked. Per the recommendation to use this product for excema treatment, I did. After regular use, I can say that it REALLY worked! My skin is clear again, the nice thing is that I am not too oily in other parts of my face as a result. Thank you soooo much for such a great product that really lives up to your recommendation. =)
—Anne
Best moisturizer ever!
Unlike other moisturizeres on the market, I never break out with any of Paula's stuff, and as for the so-called smell, well, I too have an acute sense of smell and I did not notice any smell from this. It works wonderfully!
—Margaret
Extra moisture where I need it
I tend to have very oily skin that usually only needs light moisturizing here and there, but during the winter months I get dry, flake-y patches just under my eyes that need a richer moisturizer, and this takes care of the problem without causing breakouts. My only complaint about this product is that it seems to separate over time. When I squeeze some onto my finger, sometimes a dribble of oil comes out with it. This usually starts happening when the tube is still about half full. Since I only need a tiny amount of it with each use, a tube lasts me a very long time, so maybe I'm keeping it for too long, but I hate to throw it out when it's still half full. Is it still effective after it starts to separate?
—Susan P.
Really great moisturizer
I recently converted to the moisture boost hydrating cream from the gel moisturizer because as I've aged my skin has gotten drier. I use the Resist moisturizer in the morning under makeup because this moisturizer is slightly too heavy for my oily t-zone but perfect at night when I need a rich moisturizer. This is really great for my skin!
—Melissa
Close to perfect.
I give this product 4 stars because of top notch ingredients, non-irritating, good price and reasonable efficacy. However, I feel it could be improved by 2 changes: replace 2/3 (or all) of the jojoba oil with capric/caprylic triglyceride/coconut oil, and remove the beeswax altogether. I don't like the thin film these two ingredients leave on the skin, and what's more, I suspect they present barriers to maximizing skin absorption of the nutrients. Call it "Moisture Boost Hydrating Treatment Lotion", or something--it will be less thick, but I think it would be even more effective at hydrating the skin, and result in a more elegant feel. My favourite skin cream has almost the same ingredients as this product, but with those two features (capric/caprylic triglyceride and no beeswax), and it feels fabulous, but it's not as enriched with nutrients as Paula's.
—Elizabeth
Best Moisturizing Cream
I really love PC Moisture Boost Hydrating Treatment Cream. I have very dry skin that is acne prone. I couldn't find a product that would absorb into my skin and keep it moist without causing a breakout with acne. This really does the trick! It is a wonderful product! My skin feels supple and hydrated without feeling greasy. It also doesn't irritate my skin or make my acne worse. Way to go Paula!
—Heidi
Did the formula change?
Loved it, but it doesn't seem like the same formula anymore. It seems thinner. I liked this one for summer and the skin recovery for winter. I guess I'll stick to skin recovery now.
Customer Care Response: We have not changed the Moisture Boost Hydrating Treatment Cream formula recently. Please contact Customer Service via email, Live Chat or phone for assistance with a return or exchange.
—Sheri
always good
Always good to me.
A can't stop to use this product.
Best foreve!
—isabella
Not for me
After menopause, I went from oily skin to dry areas. This product is simply too heavy for even my drier skin. Blackheads and shine.
Customer Care Response: Thank you for the feedback. Please know that we have a number of lighter weight options which may prove more appropriate for your particular skin. Please contact our customer service team to discuss which one may be best.
—Sara Wright
Awesome and Amazing
Had an eczema break-out while out of town without my meds, I used this moisterizer and it helped keep my skin soft where it would normally be flaky and dry. Used this product twice a day, very liberally, and it worked just as well if not better than my RX! Would recommend this product to anyone as the best moisterizer ever! Thank you!
—Kim Withycombe
I Love the Moisture Boost HT Cream
After searching and trying other brands with disappointing results, I was so thankful for discovering PC Moisture Boost Hyrdating Treatment Cream. Not only is this fragrance-free moisturizer great on my sensitive, rosacea-prone skin, the price is very affordable and the service at Paula's Choice the best. Thanks much for a wonderful product I would highly recommend to anyone with sensitive skin.
—Ron Dunn
Love, love, love it!
At 46, I thought I was doomed to dry skin and worsening wrinkles. Then, I found Paula's Choice. Moisture Boost is a no frills moisturizer the delivers on everything it says. I highly recommend this to those, like me, with sensitive skin who need moisture that lasts. Thanks Paula!!
—Julie
the best of the bunch
I have tried just about every Paula's Choice moisturizing product, and this is definitely the winner. Skin Recovery Moisturizer had a funky aroma, HydraLight was a little too light to deal with the flaking that even those with oily skin get during breakouts, and it doesn't contain silica mattifying ingredients that make some (like me) break out! This is definitely the winner in my book!
—Kendall M.
Great as an Eye Cream
My eye area can get flaky and dry. Works great to help moisturize and smooth.
—Kristen
Amazing on my lips.
This keeps my lips moist and smoother for much longer than a lip balm would. Great prep for lipstick.
—Renee
I never knew I had dry skin
I just switched from moisturizer for combo skin to hydrating treatment cream. It's amazing, not oily at all. My husband even noticed the difference!
—Devin T
Great cream, but why the small bottles?
I love this cream and finding super hydrating. But why not have a bigger size available?
Customer Care: A lot is related to pricing; however, even more so is keeping the antioxidants potient by sealing in smaller packaging so it would be used quickly.
—Katherine
Nothing special
I think the texture of this product is great - it feels nice going on. Unfortunately, that's about it. It did not help the dry skin areas of my face at all - I had more flaking than ever. I have gone back to my old moisturizer and the flaking is gone. (Strange how my old moisturizer is rated sad face in Paula's book, but it actually works..hmm...) I will be returning this product.
Customer Care: We regret that our product was not what you may have expected. Our Customer Service will be more than happy to assist you in finding another product that will work better for you. Please note that Paula's Choice also has a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee return policy within 60 days of purchase.

great gentle face cream
Great face lotion. Helps my dry flaky eczema. Very gentle and never irritating. The only draw back is lack of sunscreen.
—Danielle
Hydrating treatment cream
This is the best Hydrating cream I have ever used. I have very sensitive skin and did not believe that this would work. But it has. It is wonderful!!! My skin is so soft and beautiful and my makeup goes on so easily and looks fantastic. Thanks Paula.
—Evelyn S.
=)
I love it... I have absolutely nothing bad to say.
It's really light, but moisturizes well, and leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth!
Can't live without it!
—Monica
Lasting Moisture
I have very dry skin under my eyes. As a flight attendant the moisture gets sucked right out of my skin and this is the best moisturizer I've tried in 14 years flying that keeps my undereye area hydrated. It's also the only one where I don't wake up in the morning with tight dry eyes. Bravo!
—Katina Brock
Love it!
I primarily use this moisturizer after getting laser treatments on my face and chest for brown spots and rosacea. This product is wonderful for apres treatment, even after brow waxing. It is light, goes on easily, and does not irritate my sensitive skin. It does not cause breakouts or black heads. It is great for hands and cuticles, too. Love it!
—Patricia
Awesome!
I LOVE this product. It is so silky and light yet it moisturizes so well. I wear it at night and my face feels so soft and smooth when I wake up. A+++ product!
—Sharon
Excellent Product
This is wonderful! I can't use retinol products on my eyes, this I can. It's great for my dry skin and eye area!
—Ronnie
breakout
This made my face & neck break out it tiny red bumps so I returned it. I give the product 1 star & the customer service 5, leaving an overall 3-star rating.
Customer Care Response: We are sorry to hear about your experience with this product. Please contact our Customer Service Team for assistance with a return or alternate product selection.
—DTSO
Awesome!
I love this because it is super hydrating, fragrance free and can be used anywhere!!
—Karen
I've been using Hydrating Treatment Cream for just two weeks, but that's long enough for me to realize that this product is a keeper. I'm 57 years old, and have normal-to-dry skin that gets shiny in the t-zone, so it's hard to find a moisturizer that works on all areas. This one is so light and silky going on, and my face stays moist, but not greasy, all the time. I use it day and night, and I love the way it moisturizes the skin around my eyes. A 4-star product!
—Cindy E.
After using a sample of Hydrating Treatment Cream, I was stunned at how something so light could make my face feel like normal skin again! After going through menopause without HRT, my skin has become noticeably drier & thinner. For most of my life, it was in the normal range & easy to care for, so I wasn't prepared for the changes. Thanks for all your good information on cosmetic ingredients & products.
—Diane L.
I love this moisturizer. My skin is so dry and sensitive and it is so difficult finding a good moisturizer that isn't greasy or that won't make my skin sting or burn. This is the best I have ever used and probably the cheapest too. I have tried some VERY expensive products and this is hands down, the best. Please don't stop making this same exact formula!!!!
—Kristina B.
I have the hydrating treatment cream because I use retin-a and tend to get flaky skin at times however, I get shiny in my t-zone. I ordered this product and love it!!! Must have for your daily regimen. Thanks, Paula!
—Jennifer G.
I am 5 months pregnant and have developed the 'pregnancy mask'. The Hydrating Treatment Cream has been a life saver to my dry skin! My skin feels healthy, supple and yet not at all greasy. Thank you for such a wonderful product!
—Alison L.
I have been using PC products for many years now and I love them. Recently, they've helped me out in a new way. Last week my family and I went on a vacation to a nearby lake. The first day we were there, my chest got fried, I mean grossly burned. Yes, I was wearing sun block (SPF 55). My niece's face was really burned too. We tried aloe but it did nothing for us so I tried some of my Paula's Choice hydrating treatment cream and it worked wonders! Within a few days my skin has nearly recovered and my niece's face is better too. Thank you for making such great products.
—Penny G.

I have dry skin. Which Paula's Choice moisturizer should I use?
All our moisturizers address the needs of dry skin and make it feel soft and smooth. Resist Barrier Repair Moisturizer is our lightest cream, while Moisture Boost Hydrating Treatment Cream is richer since it contains more oil. Skin Recovery Moisturizer is our most "protective" moisturizer. The best way to determine which one to use is to sample them and see which texture you prefer.
