Paula's Choice Intensive Repair Face Moisturizer with Retinol — Fragrance-Free 1.7 fl oz, Hyaluronic Acid & Jojoba for Dry Skin

Paula's Choice RESIST Intensive Repair Face Moisturizer is a rich, fragrance-free anti-aging cream that blends retinol, hyaluronic acid, peptides, and jojoba to deeply hydrate and help smooth the look of fine lines for dry, chapped skin.

This concentrated night cream is formulated to restore moisture, support the skin barrier, and improve texture on the face, neck, and décolletage. Designed for dry or compromised skin, it layers well with serums and targeted treatments and is made without added fragrance so sensitive skin types can use it more comfortably.

How does this cream help dry, chapped skin overnight?

The formula combines humectants and emollients to replenish and lock in hydration while you sleep. Retinol and peptides support surface renewal and the appearance of firmer skin, so texture looks smoother with consistent use.

• Hyaluronic acid draws moisture into the skin for immediate plumping.
• Jojoba and rich emollients seal in hydration to relieve chapping.
• Peptides help skin appear more resilient and supportive.
• Retinol encourages turnover to reduce the look of fine lines.

When and how should I add it into my routine?

Apply this cream in the evening after cleansing, toning, and any water-based serums. Start with a small amount if you’re new to retinol, then gradually increase frequency to nightly as tolerated.

• Use after serums and before any occlusive oils or heavier balms.
• Begin 2–3 times per week, building to nightly use if skin allows.
• Always follow with daytime SPF when using retinol night treatments.

Is it suitable for sensitive or mature skin types?

Yes — the fragrance-free, concentrated formula targets dryness and visible signs of aging without added irritants. Because it contains retinol, sensitive skin may still benefit from gradual introduction and pairing with barrier-supporting products.

• Fragrance-free to reduce potential sensitivity triggers.
• Rich texture nourishes thin, mature skin that needs extra moisture.
• Can be combined with other Paula's Choice actives per product guidance.

What results can I expect and how long will they take?

Immediate results include improved softness and reduced tightness from hydration. Over weeks, consistent use can lead to visibly smoother texture and diminished appearance of fine lines as skin renewal progresses.

• Instant: better moisturized, less flaky surface.
• 2–6 weeks: improved texture and skin feel with continued nightly use.
• Long term: more resilient-looking skin with regular application.

Who is this for: Paula's Choice RESIST Intensive Repair Face Moisturizer is formulated for people with dry, chapped, or mature skin who want a no-fragrance, science-backed night cream that combines hydration with retinol and peptides. It’s ideal for those seeking a concentrated cream to use on the face, neck, and chest as part of an evening anti-aging routine, especially when paired with daytime sun protection.
