Argh...I got this awful moisturizer in the Normal/Dry kit for blemished skin. All this did was suck all the moisture that I had left in my skin (and there wasn't much left) and leave my face...

I was looking for a sunscreen that is broad-spectrum with minimal SPF15, non water-resistant, and non-greasy for everyday use at home. Well, this fits the bill! I have dry skin, and I use this...

This is the best moisturizer I have even used. It is non greasy, isn't tacky, protects the skin and is a good base for applying make up. I use this not only on my face but body as well. I love...

I admit I haven't used up my sample up yet so this is only a first impression. Texture: fairly liquid. White cast: minimal. I have light/med skintone so it's just a little bit noticeable. Feel:...

despite being an excellent sunscreen, its too thick and sticky for my liking and i'll stick to my Olay Complete- my trusty daytime moistruiser for the past...... 7 or so years!

This was my sunscreen of choice for many years. It has a nice texture, it's fragrance-free, it's competitively priced against Neutrogena and other drugstore brands. However, I switched to LRP...

I got a sample of this when I got my Paula's Choice cataloge. This might work for someone with extremely dry skin but for my (combo very oily T zone somewhat dry cheeks) skin it was just too thick...

I really wanted to like this (honest!) but this product left my face feeling tacky all day and grabbed onto any foundation I used over it, leaving my face with little beads of sunscreen/foundation...

I have a light rosacea on both cheeks and after a dissapointing sample of the Pure Mineral Sunscreen SPF 15 of the same brand, I ordered a sample of this one. After 2 hours I had to wash it off, my...

I really liked this sunscreen's formula. The packaging is a different story. The sunscreen smoothed onto my face and neck effortlessly and did not leave a white-cast. I had no problems with this...

It breaks me out after 2 day use, and my skin still feels dry, definately won't repurchase.

I have been using this sunscreen for years and have never had any problems with breakouts. It prepares my normal to dry skin very well for foundation. Since Paula is such an avid supporter of...

I really like this moisturizer. It provides good UVA and UVB protection which I am really picky about. It does not feel heavy on the skin and does not interfere with foundation. I am on my...

In general I like this stuff, but I do have some small complaints. First of all, it seems too runny when it comes out of the tube. The thin texture makes it sorta drip out before I get a chance...

This is an ok Sunscreen. I do not use it on my face as it causes breakouts. But when used on other parts of the body it is very nice. You also get a lot of product for the money. I would not...

I had high hopes for this product seeing as Paula raves on so much about the need for sun protection, but I didn't like it. At all. She's not that good at stuff for people with dry skin. For my...

I have combo skin, but I like this one better than the normal to oily version. At first I wasn't sure because it has oil in it but I'm surprise how light the texture is. It absorbs to skin fairly...

This sunscreen works very well for me but then I have dry skin. Would not recommend it to anyone with oily skin. Works real good for me under makeup base.
