Elegant But Too White For Me
A very elegant sunscreen with a fabulous texture, great broad spectrum protection, paraben free, fragrance free and moisturizing. However, it leaves too much of a white cast on my skin.
—Pat
My New Favorite
This is my new favorite Paula's Choice product.
It's a wonderful moisturizer made even better with a mineral sunscreen. The zinc and titanium oxides don't burn my eyes - and I love how soft and smooth my face feels.
—Yvonne Hamilton
My Holy Grail!
My skincare regime is finally complete!! I've been using most of Paula's skincare for years and I'm thrilled she formulated such an elegant moisturizer with an SPF. It doesn't feel at all like a sunscreen - it luxurious and applies beautifully (no white cast at all!) It's light in texture but hydrates so well without being greasy or shiny. My skin thanks you!!
—Diane
sophisticated product
This a superior product. It feels wonderful on the skin, disappears under make-up, and doesn't cause my eyes to tear. I have been using sunscreen for years and this is the best I have used to date. Please make it available in a much larger size!
—shae
simply perfect, perfectly simple
This is the ultimate facial sunscreen product for those of us with dry skin. Lightweight, ultra hydrating, non-irritating, with no white mask aftermath, perfect with or without makeup. This one product has replaced my old routine of rich moisturizer followed by sunscreen.
—Nikki
Great sunscreen but too white
As soon as I applied it I realized the GREAT TEXTURE it has although it has a SHINY finish that I don't like.I'm sure it WORKS as well as all Paula's products.However I realized the same problems as every Paula's mineral sunscreens:the WHITE CAST.It's a pity because with a hint of color I wouldn't look so 'zombie' and this would be my new favourite one.
—Hector Enrique Balaguer Molina
Not so good
I'm not happy with this product at all. I find it hard to put on and it tends to make my face white.
—Debbie Nunn
too white T.T
I wish I can rave about this product.. This is perfect for people with fair skin, but not for me coz my skin shade is like in between fair and dark..I ended up having a zombie like face T.T

Skin Recovery Daily Moisturizing Lotion
This lotion is surprisingly lightweight. It serves well as a moisturizing sunscreen, but I need to use it over an additional moisturizer for my very dry skin. I must commend the Paula's Choice team for creating a mineral sunscreen that blends impeccably and is virtually transparent. This is among the best of the best.
—Ryan
Nice , but takes a while to absorb
I found this product to be a little on the greasy side but then I am using it for winter because I have dry skin. I was excited about the new ingredients Paula added and that is why I bought it along with the natural sunscreen in it. It is wonderful if you let it soak in before applying foundation but if your using a power foundation, it may not work well if you apply right after the sunscreen . I tried and it was a mess.
—Vonda
too white
love the feel and the ingredients,but too white for my skin. Would prefer it come in a tube.
—Shelley
Finally, A Moisturizer w/Mineral SPF!
I am SO excited to finally find a moisturizer with a mineral only SPF! This says it's for normal-very dry skin, but I have very oily skin and it works wonderfully, not greasy at all, sinks right in, and makes my skin look luminous and just radiant. I love it, worth the price!
—Andrea
Doesn't help dry skin
If your skin is at all flaky, this moisturizer won't even begin to address the problem. Instead, I reach for Paula's Hydrating Treatment Cream.
—Tom Anderson
softens and protects
This is my current favorite winter sunblock. It protects also against cold wind that can 'bite' my retinoid-treated skin. I apply it immediately after Paula's lightweight sunblock spray, which makes it slip on very easily and appear invisible on my medium-pale skin.
—Grace Heckenberg
Great for hands too!
I think this is the most fantastic hand lotion (my facial skin is too oily to use it there). It absorbs quickly, feels incredibly soft, and protects my skin from the sun. Love it!
—Caroline
skin recovery sunscreen
This new sunscreen,considering it is for dry to very dry skin is not very hydrating. I find it dries down to an annoying white powdery finish which had to be buffed into my skin.I used the complete skin recovery program but still found it hard to smooth over my skin. Too bad, I had high hopes.

Very good
I started using this winter. Keeps skin moist. I like the dispenser because the correct comes out with only 2 pumps. I apply right out of shower and go do something else while it is absorbed in skin. Whiteness is not a problem if you follow directions...wait.
—Denise
not quite right yet
First, allow me to say I absolutely LOVE your products. However, the Skin Recovery Daily Moisturizing Lotion with SPF 15 does not seem to be moisturizing enough for me as I have flaky skin. I will use it over top of the Hydrating Treatment Cream for daytime. Please do something about the white...I HAVE to wear makeup when I wear this product to get my skin colour back to normal. I'd rather be able to go without when I want.
Thank you and keep up the good products!
—Donna
This Works!
I have extremely senstive skin, and EVERYTHING causes breakout, broken blood vessels, patchy red areas, and so on. Paula's products do not cause problems for me. I don't even have to use the line for senstive skin. The one for dry skin works great. This product is excellent. I don't mind the slight smell....IT WORKS...that is all I care about! Besides, you don't smell it once it is on! Excellent Line of skin care, and I have tried almost everything out there!
—Sandra
Best for Fair Skin
Many complain that this causes a "white cast" - true as the active ingredients of Titanium and Zinc do just that. This physical sunblock is best for fair skin as the whiteness is less noticeable. For med-darker skin colors try Paula's awesome chemical Avobenzone products.
—Mel
Great mineral SPF
Almost sent back without trying based on reviews stating it left a white cast. Glad I tried it first. Medium skin tone here and not "white" on me at all. Light texture but moisturizing, absorbs fast, no shine. Extra dry skin may need extra moisturize underneath. For my slightly dry skin it's a great one-step; moisturizer + SPF + antioxidants. Loving the pure mineral SPF.
—John
Too White!
Goes on white and it is hard to eliminate this ghostly sheen. You have to rub a lot. A version without sunscreen would be nicer.
—Wendy
Grabs onto flakes
i can tell its moisturizing, although somehow it grabs onto flakes. I don't see how this would work for rosacea affected skin, as i am not even that flakey and it made me look really dry. It could be because of the mineral sunscreen, i know the pure mineral sunscreen makes me appear quite flakey as well. I think this needs to be reformulated.

yet another beautifully formulated product
This elegant cream is a lovely formula for me because I seem to have devloped an allergy to the regularly formulated sunscreens that are not mineral based. It is a bit too oily for me (t-zone), but with the cysts, mysterious and long-standig bumps and other annoyances due "normal" suncsreens, I'm quite deligted with this all mineral formula with antioxidants. I find it that it soaks in adquetly so, hence, no white cast. I won't leave home witout it. Thanks again for yet another fantastic product.
—Maria Dawn Lagillardaie
awesome product
i love this lotion! the first sunscreen that doesn't make me break out. i also love the finish.
—julie
Great Product but expensive
Love this stuff. I've been using this and the non spf moisturizer for a couple of years and really see the difference. Only problem I have are the prices. Glad I'm a double income no kids person.
—Meredith
price vs. size
Love this product; however, the price has gone up and the tube is much smaller. (2oz.)
—Debbie Locke
Great for my rosacea-irritated skin
Love this! Blends well; non-irritating; has minerals instead of chemicals for sunscreen; very moist but not oily. Many moisturizers irritate me because of my rosacea. When my skin is flaking, I use the 1% exfoliating gel first and gently rub the flakes off, then put this on. It even brightens up my skin a little.
—Jen
also great on sensitive olive skin!
Love this product! its convinved me to wear sunscreen 365 days!
i have medium olive skin with dryness and some rosacea, and this product goes on like a dream, no white cast, no irritation like with the avobenzone stuff, and just the correct amount of moisture. great with or without makeup.
Paula - please make a spf45 formulation of it for the summers!
—hynoki
terrible packaging
I loved the old 15 spf formula and used it for years. This one is okay, (although I agree with some other reviewers that it tends to leave a white cast on the skin) but the packaging is awful! I used to use the old formula on my throat, forearms and hands, as well as my face, everyday, but to do that with this one I'd have to buy a new tube every week or two. And the pump makes it very wasteful--it's impossible to get all the product out. Very disappointing.
—lee
physical sunblock + moisturizer!
-- ppl who rate this at lower star usually have a problem with the "white cast"...
-- but this product works really well for those with fairer skin tone..
a moisturizer with a PHYSICAL sunblock.. titanium dioxide @ 3.85%...
wish it could be higher but that would be even more pale.. Maybe they can incorporate it into various shads of TINTED SPF moisturizer?
—winnie
Skin Recovery SPF 15 Lotion
This product leaves a film on my skin and is not very moisturizing. I think the product has too much mineral particles in it. I'll try the NEW product with Avebenzone, SPF 45, next.
—Angela Pfaffenberger
Ghostly
Not enough moisture for my dry skin. Have had to go shade darker for foundation or else I look like a ghost. Poor design; even with cap on a dry little clump comes out with each pump.
