    Let me specify that I have bought this to use for the body. It is a convenient 2 oz. size that airlines will let me take and has a good SPF of 25. I have bought 3 tubes of it and I like it for...

    Unfortunately, this product didn't do anything for me. I used only Paula's Choice Resist line for 6 months. It just dried out my skin even more and made it look so dull. The items I used were:...

    Of the Resist sunscreen moisturizers I tried this seemed to be the best but after wearing for several days I started getting breakouts. Every day a new zit. I'm 58. This should not be my new...

    This is a thick, white cream that looks and feels more like a sunscreen than a moisturizer. The white cast disappears very quickly, even if you use a generous amount. This product is definitely...

    I was anxious to try this cause it is oil free and has titanium dioxide and the ingredients seem top-notch. At first if felt very greasy going on, but then dried up after 30 minutes and settled...

    I LOVE this moisturizer! It is one of the few products with SPF that makes my skin feel soft, hydrated, and most important DOES NOT BURN my eyes!

    Not crazy about this. The Titanium Dioxide level is so high that it actually aggravates my rosacea. I get brand new pustules (ew) every single time I use this. Sometimes I think I am better off...

    Update: I bumped this up to a five, and I am now repurchasing it. I bought the Resist Super-light SPF 30 to replace this and it was definitely better but it just a bit too drying for me. I have...

    Just a simple question: how can someone who harshly criticizes /judges all other skin care brands release a daily moisturizer with no proper UVA protection? Does she really think that people are...

    This a HG for dry-sensitive skin. If your skin is not dry, I mean dry dry, don't try it. If you break out, get redness, flaky skin, or are under some drying treatment/ winter months, this is a good...

    The good: the lotion is fairly moisturizing, it dries to a lovely powdery finish, and has only a faint white cast. The bad: It can take a while to dry on humid days (I speed things up with my hair...

    I loved this face cream because it uses only Titanium Dioxide for the sunscreen element. For me that means no stinging, no extra dryness or rashes (that zinc sunscreens always give me), and not...
