    YIPPIE!!! I think I have finally, finally found my HG moisturizer. Her whole skin recovery line seems to be clearing up my rosacea and soothing all the dryness. I have really, really sensitive...

    Very disappointing. If you ever read "Don't Go to the Cosmetic Counter Without Me" remember that Paula makes a line of skin care products and ask yourself this: "Is this book just a giant ad for...

    I use this as an eye and neck cream only because I'm very prone to breakouts. This is a very rich cream (comes in a large tube) loaded with peptides, antioxidants, cell-communicating ingredients...

    This is the kind of cream that leaves the surface of your skin slippery, shiny & oily looking but when you move your face, the skin still feels dry. Go figure.

    If my skin were less acne-prone, I would like the moisturizer better, but unfortunately, it makes me break out (I suspect that the evening primrose oil is the culprit). It does make a good eye...

    Did not moisturize my skin at all. I reapplied every 2 hours and it still felt dry. It also stung upon application. I'm not sure why. I'm allergic to the whole skin recovery range. So I doubt I...

    I've tried both the old and new formula, and I find that both are nicely moisturizing on my dry skin, yet it feels that the new formula sinks a bit better, and it supposedly has more elegant...

    I could use that moisturizer only at night before bed since there is a pretty obvious sheen after it dries out on skin - not a big surprise since it contains oils. During the day you will have to...

    It is a heavier moisturizer so I only use it at night on my cheeks and around my mouth where I am the driest. It doesn't break me out or irritate my skin, so I also use it as an eyecream. The smell...
