Paula’s Choice SKIN RECOVERY Cream Cleanser for Extra Sensitive, Redness and Rosacea Prone Skin, Normal to Very Dry Facial Skin

NEED for sensitive skin!
Since moving to Minnesota from FL, I have been struggling with increased dryness and skin sensitivity. I feel like the dry spots take much longer to heal, no matter what I try (and I’ve tried everything). For reference, I am a 24 year old female with dry/sensitive skin and use a high-strength prescription retinol nightly (0.1% tretinoin). In FL, my skin was easily managed with Cerave moisturizing oil cleanser and la Roche poussey daily moisturizer and a hyaluronic acid serum, but not up here~This has been my holy grail. The scent is minimal and natural, the texture is soft but perfect for melting away makeup. My skin feels completely cleansed afterwards and NOT irritated/dry. For the size as well, you get a HUGE bottle (16oz), so that should last plenty of time if you only use it on your face.

Like how my skin feels
I like the feel of my face after I wash at night.

this is a gentle cleanser ….
I really like the texture and subtle fragrance. My face feels moisturized after each use. I will keep it in my routine.

Paula’s Choice Skin Recovery Cleanser is probably my top favorite cleanser of all time
Getting older and going through all the hormonal changes from having a child has really messed with my skin, which wasn’t even close to being ideal to begin with. I’ve always yearned for a gentle cleanser – I have extremely sensitive skin – that is strong enough to remove the liquid foundation that I wear. Paula’s Choice Skin Recovery Cleanser is probably my top favorite cleanser of all time. Its price point is cheaper if you were to buy directly from Paula’s Choice website; however, they only offer free shipping on orders of $50+. If you’re an Amazon Prime member and you’re not looking to order anything else from Paula’s Choice, I’d say it’s priced fairly here.The cleanser’s consistency is that of a more milky Cetaphil. It keeps this consistency and doesn’t really work into a lather when I wash my face; however, it removes nearly all of my makeup. During the day, I always wear sunscreen and I typically opt to wear liquid foundation that’s in the medium-to-full-coverage range (i.e. thick, liquid foundation). The first time I used this cleanser, I was impressed with how efficient it was in removing my makeup. I can tell if a cleanser isn’t that efficient because I’ll see the traces of foundation on the cotton pads/balls when I use a toner after washing.I never see any residual foundation on the cotton pad after I’ve used this particular cleanser. It isn’t strong enough to remove my waterproof eye makeup completely, but that’s why you get a separate eye makeup remover.I’ve noticed that since using this cleanser, my face stays in the dewy range without going too oily. I love that it doesn’t leave you with that super squeaky feeling after washing up. My skincare routine is currently this cleanser, Thayer’s witch hazel, Paula’s Choice 2% BHA liquid, Paula’s Choice C15 super booster, and Paula’s Choice moisture boost face cream. I’m still experiencing some breakouts, but the overall texture of my facial skin has improved drastically and it’s only been about a month of doing this new skincare regimen.

My skin has become sensitive with age (40’s) and this cleanser doesn’t irritate and removes Estée Lauder double wear makeup. This is my second bottle.

Had to wait for awhile and then finally got it and nothing has changed for my skin. It’s still dry and red. Not satisfied at all. Sad I wasted the money and time waiting for this.
