Review : Paula's Choice Resist Barrier Repair Moisturizer




Product Description
RESIST Barrier Repair Moisturizer contains a unique complex of ingredients proven to remodel your skin by building and preserving collagen, firming skin and protecting against moisture loss. The feather-light, silky texture provides substantial hydration. The active ingredients in the RESIST Barrier Repair Moisturizer are proven to make a visible difference in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, skin tone, and skin firmness.
This product is 100% fragrance- and colorant-free.

The 1.77ml sachet I owned provides me for about 6 usages which I have been using in the night, due to the retinol ingredient in it. It is the 14th ingredient in the list.

Vitamin A derivatives, including retinol, rapidly break down when exposed to the sun and air. Hence they are recommended to be in pumps or tubes with tight-fitting caps. Once opened, these products do not keep well and should be used within a couple of months.

Note that retinol will have the opposite effect when its exposed to the sun and made the skin age faster. It is also not recommended for pregnant ladies or ladies who are breastfeeding.
That said, retinol is a useful and proven ingredient when used properly. ie. in night time products.

This moisturiser with retinol contains a specialized complex of ingredients proven to reduce signs of aging. The formula is packed with ingredients that work to build and preserve collagen, prevent moisture loss, restore essential ingredients to protect skin's barrier function, and reduce inflammation with potent antioxidants.

The antioxidants help skin defend itself against damaging free radicals and helping to generate healthier skin cells while retinol is a proven cell-communicating ingredient that works to improve skin tone and restore normal cell function.

Milky white in colour, the moisturizer has a lotion-like texture that has a lightweight finish without any greasiness. It glides onto the skin beautifully, leaving a smooth and supple look.
I have not experience any form of flakiness since wearing this moisturiser at night, it just leave the skin feeling smooth and soft to the touch. Note that I am using this on optimal skin days.
