it's drying on the skin?
Customer Service Response
Replied on: Tuesday, May 07, 2013
Thank you for your review! What you have described is a classic example of a product that isn't supplying enough moisture for you, which sounds like you suspected after using it for a time. There aren't any drying agents in the RESIST Clear Skin Hydrator, and with your feedback we'd recommend the RESIST Barrier Repair instead! Be sure to contact our Customer Care Department via phone or email. They would be happy to assist with a credit or exchange.

Thank you for your review! It sounds like you may have tried the sample of the RESIST Barrier Repair, which is very much like the product you've described in your review! The RESIST Hydrator may be too light for your skin type. Contact our Customer Care Department for help with an exchange, and/or samples to experiment with!

Thank you for your review and we're sorry the RESIST Clear Skin Hydrator wasn't a fit for you. Due to the uniqueness of our individual skin types and routines, no product works perfectly for all (frustrating, we know!). Please contact our Customer Care team and we can assist in finding an alternative (and/or sending samples to try) that may better suit your concerns! PS: we do not recommend mixing your SPF with any other products (other than another SPF) as this compromises its ability to protect your skin from UV rays.

Thank you so much for your review and comments! The RESIST Hydrator and Barrier Repair have new pump packaging on the way (summer/fall of 2013), truth be told we would have put this in a tube if it was in any way possible! As this formula (and the Barrier Repair) contain such potent levels of their ingredients, the air exposure of tube packaging isn't a possible alternative (unlike most of our products).

How is the RESIST Anti-Aging Clear Skin Hydrator different from the other Paula's Choice facial moisturizers?
RESIST Clear Skin Hydrator is a state-of-the-art formula specifically designed to address the advanced needs of those concerned with the frustrating combination of wrinkles and breakouts.
RESIST Clear Skin Hydrator contains a special complex of ingredients that works to repair signs of aging as it helps keep skin clear and encourage healing of discolorations (red marks) from breakouts. And because it's a moisturizer, it also provides hydration for smoother, softer, younger-looking skin.
Despite the advanced nature of this formula, it bears the formulary hallmarks of every Paula's Choice facial moisturizer. All of them are designed to supply skin with what it needs to look and feel its best.
How come RESIST Anti-Aging Clear Skin Hydrator doesn't contain retinol?
Although retinol is an anti-aging superstar ingredient, it's important to keep in mind that it is not the only superstar to consider. Paula and her team developed this unique formula around the benefits of niacinamide with stabilized vitamin C and a specialized skin-clearing complex. Between these and other key ingredients such as antioxidants, skin that's showing signs of aging yet still breaking out is able to repair itself and help reduce signs of past breakouts. If you wish to add a product with retinol to your anti-aging routine, consider one of our serums (note that the RESIST Super Antioxidant Concentrate Serum does not contain retinol).
Do I still need to use my anti-acne products with this moisturizer?
Yes. Although we'd love it if this weren't true, the fact is that it requires more than one product to keep acne in check. Essential are a gentle, water-soluble cleanser, a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) exfoliant that contains salicylic acid, and a topical disinfectant medicated with benzoyl peroxide. Using these types of products along with RESIST Clear Skin Hydrator ensures you're combining the right ingredients to manage breakouts while also helping your skin look and act younger.
