I've been trying to find a good moisturizer for my DRY skin. I read a bunch of reviews online and Paula's Choice said this was what I was looking for. It's thick and does leave a little bit of a sheen cast - some people may not like this - but it doesn't bother me. I do feel it is helping my dry skin.

Proslightweight, absorbs quickly
Very nice winter time moisturize that reduced my dry spots! I just wished if the tube version of this cream also come with SPF.
I've bought this moisturizer multiple times because I can really tell a difference in my skin when I use it, especially in the Fall/Winter. I've tried multiple brands, but this is my favorite.
I'm very sensitive to smells and have some allergic reactions to other products. The smell doesn't bother me and I've never had a reaction to this product.
I considered this moisturizer for quite a while prior to purchase and did a lot of research. Clinique is better suited for skin without any real issues and while I know that, I still held out hope that this one would be different. I am in need of something that will help my oh-so-dry skin from remaining that way. Unfortunately, this is not the product for that.
A couple of things I wish I knew before I bought it: The texture is thick and hard to spread. I finally ended up putting a small amount into my palms and emulsifying it to keep from tugging on my face just to get it on evenly. Also, it is sticky and attracts dust. It left my face feeling a bit dirty and I am betting a lot of it was left on my pillow. Yuck.
Overall, this is good for urgent and terribly dry patches but be warned that it will not do anything to heal those areas. It merely covers them thereby providing only temporary relief from further chapping and/or flaking. In other words, it is way too expensive for what it does.
