THE moisturizer for dry skin or around eyes and wrinkles. Nice, thick and emollient, but never heavy/greasy. It sinks in well and heavily moisturizers A+, but is shiny for less than 10 minutes before becoming matte. I'm a guy, 50 yrs, and so don't wear makeup, and hate that oil slick shininess of emollient moisturizers on bare skin. I use this mainly around my eyes and on my forehead and mouth wrinkles after Paula's retinol/antioxidant serums and SPF moisturizers and Restore Barrier at night.

Excellent moisturizer ,definitely calms dry sensitive skin.As far as redness and wrinkles are concerned I have noticed no improvement. I give this moisturizer a 4 star for I believe it is good for skin.

I can get away with a pretty punishing deep exfoliation routine for my sensitive rosacea skin - that I would NEVER be able to do - if it wasn't for this moisturizer. I apply the weekly AHA treatment, or the 7% AHA lightener at night - and slather this on after. My skin forgives me my exfoliation routine because this soothes it. I can even use BHA 9 once a week and the BHA Lightener once a week (but no more than once a week on either) as long as I use this. This quiets all irritation. :)

I bought this product after trying a sample size, but was shocked to see how small the tube was when I received my order. I think $20 for a little tube is ridiculous! I wish I could give this more stars, but I expect more for my money.

I hate giving just 3 stars to this since it may work great for other people. I only like deducting stars if a product does not do what it says it will or has awful ingredients. I have dry-ish breakout prone skin that's also sensitive. Hydralight lotion was too light, plus made me a bit red. Skin Balancing was too light. Moisture Boost made me break out and get little bumps in 2 days. So: it's not for breakout prone skin! Service is great: gave a credit and suggested Earth Sourced, waiting now.

This was the first Paula's choice product I tried. My mild rosacea had progressed into moderate rosacea and this product is the only thing I tried that left my face moisturized and fab! Since using this product I have significantly minimized the red bumps and skin flakes. Thank you Paula. A+++ My mother (who suffers from worse rosacea and has tried many prescriptions) tried this product while she was visiting me and I saw incredible improvement in her skin! Miracle product.

I bought as part of the Skin Recovery Line! Very nice, soothing and hydrating.

Suffering with dry skin issues for some time I am very happy how this product is working. I use it as a night cream and my skin is very moisturized and smooth in the mornings. I am adding a Skin Recovery Hydrating Treatment Mask for the areas around my eyes,because they are even more dry than my face and all together this routine works wonderfully. Very satisfied with my first PC products!

I have dry, sensitive, blemish-prone skin. I have always felt like I had to choose between calm, moisturized skin with blemishes and angry, red, flaky but clear skin. By combining the Skin Recovery Moisturizer with Paula's BHA products, I have finally found a balance that lets me reduce breakouts and calm my skin at the same time! This moisturizer is soothing and emollient without making me breakout. My face is soft, smooth, and takes foundation so evenly. Love it!

We live in a very cold area and my husband has rosacea. I encouraged him to try this one morning, he has been using it daily ever since! Soothes his skin and helps with the redness! Now we go through it twice as fast! Would love a larger size!

I was super excited to try this product because it was advertised for very dry skin, and I barely seem to come across that on the market. I have combination skin and once this product soaked into my skin it seemed to do very little for me, and I would wake up in the morning with my skin feeling very dry around my cheeks/side of my face, more so than products I typically use. Before bed, my ritual included washing my face and then applying PC Super Antioxident Serum before this product.

I don't necessarily use this moisturizer every day, but it is a life saver for dry patches and winter chapping. A must have for occasional dry skin.

Too moisturizing. I thought my skin was more on the dry side this winter but after using a sample of the Skin Recovery Moisturizer realized my skin must just be normal because it immediately caused my skin to break out with greasy pimples. I would only recommend using this if you have DRY, DRY skin.

I am really impressed with this skin care line, but I especially like this nighttime moisturizer. I was looking for skin care that could add a lot of hydration without a lot of heavy oils, and help me with my sensitive, redness-prone skin, and this completely fits that bill. It's one of the few reasonably priced skin care lines I have found that contains enough Evening Primrose oil to be effective (it helps with redness and rosacea). It also has lots of hydrating and soothing ingredients. The performance is everything I expected - I feel well protected and moisturized with this product. I have "normal" skin that is prone to redness and dehydration, so this helps me protect my skin from water loss during the day. I have tools available at my work that measure skin moisture, and I have been consistently in the "ideal" range since using this line - yay! This is comparable to the Skin Recovery Mask, but is a slightly lighter moisturizer with more performance ingredients. It is important with all the products in this skin care line to allow enough time after application for it to "sink into" skin, or it might feel greasy. Very dry or dehydrated skin may not notice much absorption if there is a lot of dead skin in the way, and that is where exfoliation would help. All in all, I am really happy with how this makes my skin look and feel!

I just love all of Paula's products.....my skin has never looked better. But this moisturizer feels so wonderful on my skin and is the perfect base for my foundation. Since I am in my 60s, I'm doing everything I can to keep my skin as supple as possible, and this moisturizer helps immensely. My daughter (who is 37) was recently at my home and had forgotten her moisturizer....she used this and loved it! Thanks, Paula, for all your great products....and really appreciate all the reviews you do as well.

I use this lotion in combination with the Resist cleanser and toner. I absolutely love the texture and it is a great moisturizer! I do need additional moisture in the winter, so I combine this with a little Argan oil and apply to my face before bed. Works really well...

I use all of Paula's Choice skin care products. I have extremely sensitive skin, including eczema. They are all I have found that will not irritate my skin and actually work. I use the cleansers, lotions, serums and sunscreens for dry and sensitive skin. Thank you, Paula!

I am new to Paula's choice and I have tried a few of the products. Which I have seen some great results. After reading tons of reviews and doing my research I decided to use the skin recovery replenishing moisturizer. It has made my face feel and look greasy, and there is a film on my face and it feels gross. When appliying this lotion, i suggest doing so in small amounts. It left a white streaky film on my face and it doesnt feel like it absorbed at all. My face is also tingling from using this specific product. I will keep looking for another paula's choice lotion. I do believe in the products, this one is just not for me. Customer Care Response: Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear of your experience with this product. While this response is not typical, we do understand that each customer is uniquely different in how they will respond to products or ingredients. We do suggest using a lighter moisturizer as this is the most moisturizing best for dry to very dry skin. Please contact customer care so that we may help you find a moisturizer based on your skin type and concerns.

I use all Paula's Choice products but this one is one of my favorites. I'm 40 and have pretty normal skin so I use this at night under the anti-oxidant serum and its wonderful. Especially in the winter months....no flakey nose!

I have combination skin; normal and slightly dry. Oh, and slightly sensitive with slight rosacea too. I switched my Paula's Choice moisturizer because I was moving from FL to DC. (I wasn't looking forward to the change of winter weather!) My skin care was a concern. I'm thrilled I selected this moisturizer for the change of seasons. It is a little heavier than Resist Barrier Repair Moisturizer (I used this in FL and loved it!). I apply SR Replenishing Moisturizer w/my Resist SAC Serum; mix em' up with my finger tips before I apply (a great way to make sure the serum is applied evenly because it's so thick!) After a few minutes, my skin is soft to the touch, and I can tell ... very much hydrated (I also drink a lot of water). Don't forget to apply to neck, chest and top of hands! Hope this review helped!

I have been using this product for years and love what it does for my complexion! I now order Skin Recovery moisturizer for my son who lives in Arizona , he asked me to order it again for Christmas.Now if only I was'nt lazy sometimes at night and going to bed with makeup still on! I know...a big no no! When I follow my skin care routine ,Moister boost cleanser,exfoliating 8% gel, Skin recovery serum, followed by the S.R. moisturizer then my skin looks really great and then is all ready for morning. Thanks for a great product.I hope it is the same as I see the tube has a new look. Customer Care Response: Thank you for your review. This is the same formula, we just updated the name and design. Please contact customer care with any questions, we are happy to help!

This is the perfect night cream. Hydrating but not greasy. Finally no more flaking around my eyes when I wake up.

I am writing this review under the skin recovery moisturizing - but truly it's a review for all of the Pauala's Choice products I have used. I have always had problems with my skin: sensitive, blotchy, acne-prone, etc. I have tried many different brands and types of skin care and ultimately they either made my skin worse or showed no noticeable improvement. On a whim I tried PC and I just can't believe the change in my skin! Makes me SO HAPPY (but also annoyed that I had skin problems all this time, likely due to the chemicals in the products I was using and not because I had problem skin). I finally have smooth, clear skin and I just can't say enough for Paula's Choice!! A million thank yous to PC!! Keep up the great work!!

I purchased the Skin Recovery Replenishing Moisturizer about a month ago with the sole intention of wearing it under makeup, which I also purchase from Paula's Choice. I use the All Bases Covered Foundation. Unfortunately, every time I layer those two products, everything balls up and leaves a horribly unattractive finish on my skin, which forces me to wash my face and reapply all of my skin care products.

I thought this products was going to really help my skin but it didn't and I am extremely disappointed! I used this product for roughly two weeks and it left my skin really rough, almost sand paper like. I have extremely dry skin and I was using this as a night cream. I cannot use this product anymore. On a side note though, I still love Paula's products, just not this one. Customer Care Response: Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear of your experience with this product.
