Paula's Choice RESIST Skin Restoring Moisturizer SPF 50 2 oz — Mineral sunscreen with Niacinamide for dry, sensitive skin

Paula's Choice RESIST Skin Restoring Moisturizer SPF 50 is a rich, antioxidant-packed mineral sunscreen that hydrates dry skin while delivering broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection.

This lightweight-yet-nourishing face moisturizer combines mineral sun filters with skin-supporting ingredients like niacinamide, shea butter and licorice extract to shield, calm and visibly improve the look of dry or aging skin. Designed for daily morning use, the formula layers easily under makeup and pairs with your existing Paula's Choice routine for ongoing defense against environmental stressors.

How does this moisturizer protect my skin from the sun?

The formula uses mineral (physical) filters that reflect and scatter UVA and UVB rays, delivering broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection. Mineral sunscreens are often better tolerated by sensitive skin and begin working on contact.

• Broad-spectrum SPF 50 to guard against UVB and UVA rays
• Mineral-based active ingredients for immediate protection
• Daily-use texture made to layer under makeup

Will this help dry or sensitive skin feel hydrated?

Yes. The moisturizer combines rich emollients and humectants to replenish and lock in moisture without greasiness. Shea butter comforts and soothes, while antioxidants support the skin’s barrier.

• Shea butter provides deep conditioning and comfort
• Antioxidants and licorice extract help calm and support skin tone
• Non-irritating, fragrance-free formulation suitable for sensitive skin

Can I use this with my other Paula's Choice products?

Absolutely — it's formulated to be a morning finishing step. Apply after cleansers, serums, and any targeted treatments; allow lightweight serums to absorb first, then follow with this SPF moisturizer for protection.

• Works well over niacinamide serums, tone-regulating treatments, and hydrators
• Apply as the final AM step to lock in actives and add sun defense
• Compatible with makeup application thanks to its blendable texture

What makes this formula different from other sunscreens?

Beyond SPF, this product is formulated to restore and nourish dry or aging skin with targeted ingredients rather than just offering sun protection. The blend of moisturizing agents, barrier-supporting niacinamide, and antioxidant botanicals aims to improve skin appearance while providing daily defense.

• Dual focus on sun protection plus skin-restoring benefits
• No added fragrance or parabens; science-backed ingredient choices
• Sustainable-minded packaging with reduced extra plastic

Who is this for: Paula's Choice RESIST Skin Restoring Moisturizer SPF 50 is ideal for anyone with dry, sensitive, or mature skin who wants a single daily product that both restores moisture and provides high-level mineral sun protection. It's especially useful for people who prefer fragrance-free, layered skincare routines and who value antioxidant support alongside reliable SPF coverage.
