Paula’s Choice RESIST Optimal Results Hydrating Cleanser, Green Tea & Chamomile, Anti-Aging Face Wash, Dry Skin, 6.4 Ounce

Buy it!
I’d been using Tatcha products for years but decided to look for more affordable options and eventually decided to try this. I’d seen the brand around a bunch but idk, the name Paula’s Choice just made me think of someone’s nana, like it was the millennial mary kay but ya know what, Nana knows best, okay! This is amazing. I have dryyyyyyy skin. Remember that spongebob episode where he gets stuck with the squirrel too long? that’s my skin after a hot shower. But this stuff is amazing. I noticed shortly after using it that my skin wasn’t dry, plumper and had a more even texture. It gave me better result than my $60 face wash (which I’d loved) and will now be replacing that splurge purchase. The things to consider: I don’t know if this is truly a cleanser. It’s a lotion that identifies as a cleanser. So is it lotion? IDK! but there is zero lather and although it has transformed my skin, it doesn’t really make my skin feel “clean” when I use it by itself and it’s not great at completely removing makeup. I’ve been using this as the first product in my double cleanse and am loving it, but if you want just one product for a face wash, maybe this isn’t it? But it’s definitely worth the purchase.

I’m obsessed
I have incredibly sensitive and HORRIBLY dry skin year round. I’m also a dancer, so I wear makeup frequently and taking makeup on/off all the time was making my skin even worse. I have tried every single product under the sun for years. High end skin care, drug store, medications, nothing worked. I bought this cleanser along with the Paula’s Choice Toner and my skin not only looks phenomenal, but it SO. SOFT. Even where I would get really dry patches, my skin feels incredible. It doesn’t lather like normal face wash but I still feel like I’m getting my face clean. I will usually let it sit on my face for a few extra seconds before I wash it off. I usually don’t leave product reviews, but this stuff is honestly amazing.

Surprisingly Great for Sensitive Skin!! Not Drying at all!!
If you’ve read my other skincare reviews, you know all about my terribly sensitive, angry, redness and eczema-prone skin. I have reacted to all sorts of products that are “approved for sensitive skin,” and I have only found a select few products where my skin does not flare like a New Year’s Eve sparkler. This is one of those products!!!!I double cleanse in the evening- I use this as my cream cleanser now and I will keep purchasing! 🙂 The oil cleanser I use is from Laneige, and you can see I wrote a review on this product as well. I use the two of them together and my skin stays calm.I love this cleanser, not just because my skin approves it, but also because it is not drying!!! It effectively cleanses your skin without feeling like you applied an astringent to your face afterwards. It is super gentle yet effective at cleansing. I think this cleanser could be used for any skin type- definitely dry, sensitive skin approved!!!

Burns my eyes
If it wasn;t for burning my eyes it would have been okay. Not too drying.

Super nettoyant Paula choice semblable à un lait , texture crème, ne mousse pas, enveloppant et efficace. La peau est douce, hydratée prête à recevoir les soins. Léger parfum qui s’estompe très vite heureusement car je n’en suis pas fan . Voilà la seule remarque , le seul reproche si on peut dire que je n’apprécie pas.

Oh I just love this cleanser! It’s perfect for my dry skin and leaves it feeling so soft and moisturised. It also gets rid of makeup easily. Big fan here.

Noticing a visible difference in my skin using this every day, pump bottle makes it easy to keep on the counter and reminds me to use it every night
