    I really do like this stuff. I admit that the texture does take some getting used to. At first it felt like a film on top of my face. And I think it's too expensive for the amount you get,...

    I cannot say enough about this moisturizer! I'm a big fan of Paula's skincare line: at 25 I still had teenager skin, and now that I've been using it faithfully for two years I go without makeup 90%...

    I have tried this gel a few times and I will affirm that it does sting the eyes very badly. What was Paula thinking? It's clearly not for the eye area even though she says it is. I suspect if I...

    Ironically, this moisturizer didn't leave my normal skin feeling very moisturized (even in the summer!) and seemed to contribute to the breakout problem that is not very common for me. I like...

    A normal product. The gel is rather hard to absorb into the skin and takes some time, which is not a plus point if you need to put on makeup in a hurry.

    This is the lightest moisturizer I have ever tried. Maybe too light for some areas of my face! But, it's perfect around my eyes--no irritation whatsover--and absorbs quickly. You can even apply...

    I have combination skin, and this provides just the right amount of hydration w/o breaking me out. This is a gel-cream texture and goes on smoothly. I highly recommend this moisturizer.

    I love this moisturizer! It leaves my face feeling so silky smooth, and not greasy or shiny at all. I also have Paula's non-greasy moisturizer, which is also ok, but I prefer this one.
