Paula's Choice Omega+ Complex Lightweight Face Moisturizer — Fragrance-Free, Shea Butter & Plant Oils

Paula's Choice Omega+ Complex Lightweight Face Moisturizer is a cloud-like, fragrance-free cream that delivers omegas, ceramides, hyaluronic acid and vitamin C to replenish moisture and support a healthier-looking skin barrier.

This face cream blends concentrated plant-derived omegas with barrier-strengthening ceramides and antioxidants in a lightweight texture designed for dry and sensitive skin. The formula absorbs quickly without leaving heavy residue, offering instant soothing and ongoing hydration when used morning and/or night as part of your skincare routine. It pairs well with serums and is designed to be followed by SPF during daytime use.

How does this moisturizer restore and protect dry, sensitive skin?

The product combines omega fatty acids (3, 6 and 9) with ceramides to help rebuild and maintain the skin’s protective layer, while hyaluronic acid draws and locks in water. Antioxidants and vitamin C provide brightening support and help defend against environmental stressors that can make skin look dull.

• Omegas from chia and flaxseed oils replenish essential lipids.
• Ceramides reinforce the skin’s moisture barrier for less trans-epidermal water loss.
• Hyaluronic acid attracts moisture for immediate plumping and softness.
• Vitamin C helps improve radiance without harsh irritation.

Will this feel heavy or greasy on sensitive skin?

Despite rich ingredients like shea butter and plant oils, the cream is formulated to be lightweight and fast-absorbing, leaving a soft, non-greasy finish. Because it’s fragrance-free and formulated for sensitivity, it’s less likely to provoke irritation when used as directed.

• Cloud-like texture that sinks in quickly.
• Non-comedogenic approach suitable for layered routines.
• Fragrance-free to minimize irritation risk.
• Balances nourishment without heavy residue.

How should I use this moisturizer in my daily skincare routine?

Apply after cleansing, toning and any targeted serums or treatments—once in the morning and/or once at night depending on your needs. For daytime, always follow with a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher to protect the skin after applying antioxidant-containing products.

• Use a pea-to-dime-sized amount and smooth over face and neck.
• Apply after serums (for example, an Omega+ Complex Serum) for best layering.
• Finish morning routine with SPF 30+ to protect antioxidant-treated skin.
• Can be used alone or under makeup as a hydrating base.

What active ingredients should I expect and why do they matter?

The moisturizer features a mix of omegas, ceramides, hyaluronic acid and vitamin C—each selected to address dehydration, barrier resilience and dullness without unnecessary additives. Paula's Choice intentionally avoids fragrance and uses science-backed concentrations to balance efficacy and tolerance.

• Omega 3, 6 & 9 from plant oils for lipid replenishment.
• Ceramides to strengthen barrier integrity and reduce moisture loss.
• Hyaluronic acid for immediate hydration and skin plumpness.
• Brightening vitamin C to support even tone and radiance.

Who is this for? This moisturizer is created for people with dry, sensitive or naturally dehydrated skin who want a nourishing but lightweight cream that supports barrier repair and adds radiance. It suits those who prefer fragrance-free, science-driven skincare and who want a product that layers easily with serums, treatments and daytime SPF. Avoid if you have known allergies to any listed botanical oils or shea butter—patch test if you’re concerned about specific sensitivities.
