Its been 10 years since I last used a Paula's Choice product so I was glad to have won Paula's Choice Super-Light Daily Wrinkle Defense SPF 30 from an Instagram giveaway early last year.
Manufactured in USA, Paula's Choice has established one of the most robust science-backed foundations in the industry to take the guesswork out of skincare. The brand is committed to raise its standards, use more innovative ingredients and improve its formula with each passing year.
When I first received the product, it confuses me - is it a moisturizer or a tinted sunscreen? While Paula Choice touted it as a moisturizer, yet under the How To Use instructions, it seemed to imply it as a sunscreen usage. At the same time, it won the Best Sunscreen award in Beauty Insider’s 2021 Beauty & Wellness Awards.
Sephora sells it as a sunscreen product under the name - Paula's Choice Resist Super-Light Daily Wrinkle Defense Face Sunscreen SPF 30. Nonetheless, I am using it as a tinted sunscreen, after my regular sunscreen application.
My last tinted sunscreens were Naruko Tea Tree Anti-Acne Sunscreen SPF50 and Cute Press Tone Up Sunscreen SPF 50+ PA++ which I had enjoyed.
Packaging, Scent and Texture

Paula's Choice Super-Light Daily Wrinkle Defense SPF 30 is a 60ml tube product with a natural scent. The creamy tinted texture glides well on skin with decent coverage.
How To Use :
Use as the last step in your AM skincare routine. Apply liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure. If you don’t apply liberally, you will need to reapply every two hours after your skin is exposed to direct sunlight. If you plan to swim or perspire you must apply a water-resistant sunscreen.
Performance and Ingredients
All Paula’s Choice products are 100% fragrance free, clinically proven to be non-irritating, and never tested on animals.
Resist Super-Light Daily Wrinkle Defense SPF 30 contains a special blend of a lightly tinted, pure mineral zinc oxide sunscreen along with a diverse blend of antioxidants known to boost skin’s environmental defenses and prevent premature aging of skin, all with an exceptionally silky, light-matte feel.
Being a fan of tinted sunscreens, I was pleased with the soft creamy texture of Paula's Choice Super-Light Daily Wrinkle Defense SPF 30 despite being a mineral sunscreen containing 13% Zinc Oxide.
It glides easily on skin, evens out skin tone and provides a decent coverage for a beautiful healthy appearance without feeling heavy.
I tend to use it after my usual sunscreen application since using Super-Light Daily Wrinkle Defense alone for sun protection would be insufficient as we can never apply enough. Thereafter I would follow up with my favourite RMS Beauty "Un" Powder which makes it the perfect companion for work days.
The key ingredients are....
Willow Bark Extract : Soothes and calms stressed skin
Zinc Oxide : 13% gentle, mineral-based broad-spectrum SPF to keep skin protected
Resveratrol : Grape-derived antioxidant fights wrinkles and fine lines

Conclusion
To conclude, Paula's Choice Super-Light Daily Wrinkle Defense SPF 30 is a lightly tinted mineral-based anti-aging moisturizer with SPF protection that minimizes shine by absorbing excess oil. Resveratrol and Willow Bark Extract helps to fight signs of aging and calm redness and irritation.
I am currently using it as a tinted sunscreen, where I top up with loose powder for working days. It helps to even out skin tone and provides a decent coverage for a beautiful healthy appearance without feeling heavy.
