I live in Colorado so it's very dry out here. I absolutely love this moisturizer! It is so gentle! I just apply it all over my face, even over my eyes! That's how gentle it is! And my eyes are super sensitive and prone to watering. It's fast, easy and efficient. It has a soothing effect and leaves my skin feeling cool and calm. Thank you a bunch Paula!

Your Skin Recovery Moisturizer is the answer to a prayer. I am 60 and have spent my adult life looking for the appropriate moisturizer for my very dry, delicate skin. This is the first product I have ever used that makes my skin feel comfortable and look healthier. Thank you for this wonderful product!

Wonderful winter moisturizer
I love this as a winter moisturizer. I am acne-prone, but this doesn't break me out. Thank you for making this fragrance-free- my sensitive skin thanks you, too!
—Elizabeth
no breakouts
I have rosacea so cannot use most moisturizers. This is the first IN MY LIFE to not cause breakouts. I'm 61. No greasy feel!

Skin Recovery Moisturizer
I have rosacea, and this is the best moisturizer I've ever used. It calms my skin, lessens the redness, and provides a smooth oil-free surface on which to apply my makeup.
—Emily Moak Meacham
A cream come true!
Wonderful, absolutely wonderful! This moiturizer is FANTASTIC for my dry, sensitive skin. It has not caused blmeishes. I only have even-toned, baby soft facial skin that I love...without any greasiness. A true treasure!

Dry Skin Saver
I a 51 with very dry sensative skin. I had been using Neutrogena Light Night Cream - in the morning my face would be puffy. This product is super calming and my skin looks great. Only thing I don't like is the smell - but will use it regardless.
Thanks
—Janie
Outstanding facial cream
I've been using Paula's choice facial creams for about ten years. I love this facial cream as it is not irritating to sensitive acne prone skin. Definitely try this.

Pros: Paula's choice skincare has state-of-the-art ingredients.
The 5 step skincare routine is easy to follow, her sunscreens are beautifully formulated.
Cons:Packaging is very small,all her products contains so much silicones that applying a beautiful liquid foundation is out of the question.
—Annemarie
great winter moisturizer
Like a reviewer above, I find that this product has an unpleasant smell. However, it works so well that I'll continue using it. It's the only thing that gets my skin through a harsh winter without feeling tight and getting flaky and itchy.
—lee
Very dry skin?
I find this moistuirizer to be good for normal to dry skin, but not for very dry skin. Puala, please develop a moisturizer just for very dry skin.

one product I wish was fragranced
This product is highly effective, but as a few other reviewers have noted, the smell is extremely unpleasant. Unfortunately, for an individual who is sensitive to smells, it smelled so unpleasant that I found I could not use it on my face because it would necessitate rubbing it near my nose and smelling it all dance. This is one product I truly wish was fragranced! However, it's worth a try as it does not bother everyone and Paula has a generous return policy.
Customer Care: All of our products are fragrance-free and as such, any smell that occurs in our products is a direct result of the ingredients that are used. We are working to make this product optimal for our customers by reformulating the product. Please call our Customer Service for assistance if you would like to find a replacement. Please note that we also have a 60-day 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.

Very Happy
This is the best moisturizer I have ever used. I have very dry sensitive skin with rosacea. Can't use ANYTHING with fragrance or irritating ingredents. This moisturizer along with the Skin Recovery Cleanser and the Skin Recovery Super Antioxidant Serum has made me a very happy camper! I've been using Paula's Choice Products for over 5 yrs. and my children even started using them. Paula if you read this, please know how thankful I am for you and your dedication to create these products for people like me. You're the best!
—Donna
Love it....but......
Love all of Paula's skin care products. Especially liked the Skin Recovery Moisturer. However, the previous product had and SPF 15. Please put it back in. I don't wear make-up everyday, so this was a great product to wear and get sun protection! Like a cream...not a lotion!
—Diane
So So
So far I love all the products but this one I'm not so sure about it. It's not creamy like I like, and on the paste side. I'll keep using it, to see what happens.
—beverly Nichols
good.. but hate the smell
I love this moisturizer. It works really well for my dry skin. However, I stopped using it for a while because I cannot tolerate the smell. It made me feel nauseated. I agree with another review. This is the moisturizer I like to have fragance in it.
—Michelle
matte, no lingering smell
This is great because it does NOT have a fragranced smell that you would tire of or get a headache from smelling all day. There is only the slightest lotion smell upon first squeezing out, and I actually like it because it is obvious that no additional fragrance is used. It is not unpleasant and does not linger at all.
This lotion is also moisturizing but nice and matte; helps smooth out any glossy look after using serum.
—kle
Not able to use
I loved the results I had with this product on my drier skin and around my eyes during initial use, but unfortunately my skin began reacting to it after a few days. I didn't know if this was because of using it in conjunction with other products so I patch tested on my inner thigh and my skin had an immediate angry reaction to it. I'm dissappointed that I can't use it.

I have enjoyed using this product. I live in a very dry climate, so my skin tends toward dry & itchy, but with breakouts on the chin and forehead. This moisturizer works well for me. It goes on silky smooth, does not smell funny, and works well under sunscreen and/or foundation. I can use it around my eyes without irritation, which is something I cannot say for a lot of moisturizers. For extra dry areas and/or a richer overnight moisturizer I would recommend Paula's "skin recovery hydrating treatment mask," but the "skin recovery moisturizer" is great for everyday (used with an added sunscreen, of course).
Yes, I wish it were cheaper, but I have yet to find a cheaper drugstore product that is comparable.
—Helen
Miss
Great product, Texture is good, it has state of the art ingredients but please put some scent in this product (vanilla extract or cocoa extract) it doesn't have to be fragrance, but people do not want to smell some of the other ingredients.
—Anne
even wonderful for oily skin
I have very oily, sensitive skin and sensitive eyes. This product does NOT make my skin oily and tacky and it does NOT irritate my rosacea or make my eyes itch and tear. I am also thrilled to get a peptide and many antioxidants on my skin. Thank you Paula!
