    Amazing moisturizer. It's too heavy for me to use all over on my face (I use her "completely emollient" moisturizer for most use), but this lotion is great for those really dry spots. It doesnt'...

    I just love this product. It's a rich, creamy moisturizer that absorbs fairly quickly and has made my skin much softer and smoother, in addition to healing some persistent dry spots around my mouth...

    I'm in my late 40's. I have thin and sensitive, often dry skin that is suddenly (in the after baby years) acne prone! Go figure. Paula's Choice is a perfect brand for me. No scent and rich...

    This is good for medium dry skin, but not for extra dry skin. It is simply not enough when my skin is really dry in the winter. For that I use Eucerin Original Cream. This is a good moisturizer...

    This moisturizer is okay, but not nearly as good as her extra emollient which she just discontinued. This one feels stickier and doesn't seem to absorb as well. I may purchase this one again...

    Not enough moisture for my skin and the packaging is hard to get all the product out of. I use renova and need the moisture. I do like PC other products but not moisturizers, SS or cleansers

    This is not a bad moisturizer--it spreads relatively easily to a nice, matte finish, has no fragrance (as with all PC products), does not irritate my skin or make me breakout. It also makes my skin...
