Paulas Choice RESIST Super Light Matte Finish Moisturizer Reviews Summary

Texture and Consistency

Pros:

• "This one, while not perfect has been the best yet as it is the least oily, is lightweight, applies evenly, not drying, doesn’t make me breakout or itchy and overall good for sensitive skin."
• "Goes on smooth, absorbs quickly, doesn't settle into facial lines."
• "This one goes smoothly but dries instantly and doesn’t feel greasy."
• "It effortlessly glides onto the skin, leaving behind a smooth and matte finish."
• "It spreads really well, but I have to give it time to dry a little before I feel like it’s well balanced on my face if that makes sense."
• "It goes on easily with fingers and dries down without feeling sticky."
• "This product goes on so well....thin and silky."

Cons:

• "The texture is so thick and uncomfortable to wear."
• "Texture: pretty dry even for a mattifying sunscreen."
• "Then the finish is kinda dry/sticky and not moisturizing at all."
• "This one feels like gooey super thick sunscreen that never mattes and looks shiny and ridiculous."
• "It’s unspreadable. Just sticks to your hands."
• "It doesn't absorb into the skin at all and leaves my face feeling slick and looking extremely shiny."
• "It tends to leave my skin a little dry & give that tight feeling."

Skin Compatibility

Pros:

• "Pure physical sunscreen, which is great for my sensitive skin."
• "I have very finicky skin that breaks out from products that are considered 'safe' for sensitive skin."
• "I can not use any type of chemical sunscreen on my face or I break out. This works very well for me because it uses zinc oxide."
• "I have somewhat sensitive skin and this lotion did not bother me at all."
• "It doesn’t break me out & my skin is super break out prone so that’s a plus!"
• "I haven’t had any issues with my sensitive skin or noticed acne popping up due to this product."
• "This sunscreen does not irritate my face."

Cons:

• "It makes my skin flake and peel."
• "I highly recommend for those with dry skin NOT to buy this product."
• "Can be a little drying on my normal-to-dry skin."
• "So it is a bit drying, and may not be best for dry skin types."
• "It left me with some dry patches!"
• "Every time, EVERY.TIME. I use it it leaves me with clogged pores."
• "This product does cause acne on my skin, which is strange because I don’t experience acne typically."

Makeup Compatibility

Pros:

• "It wears very well under liquid foundation and even makes my makeup last longer."
• "Wears perfectly under makeup and doesn't break up foundation."
• "This tinted moisturizer goes on smoothly, protects from the sun and helps my foundation stay on all day without getting oily."
• "My makeup goes on well, and doesn't look or feel bad on top of the sunscreen."
• "It works well under liquid foundation, under BB and CC cream, and powder foundation."
• "It doesn't feel greasy. It allows my makeup to go over it smoothly, and I love it."
