Paula's Choice RESIST Optimal Results Hydrating Cleanser Review

I wanted to share my Paula’s Choice RESIST Optimal Results Hydrating Cleanser review with you today. This is a new to me cleanser that’s been out for a while and I have no idea why I waited so long to try it.

Price

Ingredients
Water, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (emollient thickener), Decyl Glucoside (cleansing agent), Glycerin (skin-identical ingredient), PEG-20 Methyl Glucose Sesquistearate (cleansing agent/emulsifier), PPG-20 Methyl Glucose Ether, Methyl Gluceth-20 (skin-conditioning agents),Glyceryl Stearate, Stearyl Alcohol (thickeners), Polyacrylamide (binding agent), Camellia Oleifera (Green Tea) Leaf Extract (antioxidant), Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract (soothing agent), Sapindus Mukurossi (Soapberry) Peel Extract (foaming agent), Methyl Glucose Sesquistearate (cleansing agent), C13-14 Isoparaffin (thickener), Laureth-7 (emulsifier), Xanthan Gum (thickener), Disodium EDTA (chelating agent), Citric Acid (pH adjuster), Caprylyl Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Hexylene Glycol, Phenoxyethanol (preservatives).

Key Ingredients

  • Green Tea (antioxidant)
  • Chamomile (soothing)

This feels very moisturizing on the skin. When I apply it, it doesn’t really suds up. I put two pumps into my hand and use those two pumps to cleanse my face, neck, ears and décolleté. Then I gently use my finger tips to rub in circles on my skin before rinsing it off. It doesn’t leave a residue behind on my skin and it leaves my skin feeling clean and soft.

I’ve finally found a PC cleanser to fall in love with! It has no fragrance (yay) and it makes my skin feel moisturized rather than stripped.

As far as value goes, it’s a great value for the price. It’s $18 for 6.4 oz, whereas the Abbey St. Clare Aniba Cleanser that I loved is $30 for 6.7 oz, so much more expensive.

This is definitely a cleanser that I will continue to repurchase because it works very well for me. If you’re looking for a moisturizing cleanser that won’t leave your face feeling dry or tight, this is definitely one to look at!

  1. I’ve been using the Skin Recovery cleanser and I like it but since I’m ready to place an order soon, I think I’ll try this one! I use PC skin care almost exclusively as it’s just about the only thing that doesn’t irritate my skin (rosacea, blah!).

  2. I hear so many great things about Paula’s Choice and their products from you and now this sounds like something I would enjoy too.

  3. I am completely addicted to Paula’s Choice now that I’ve tried it!

  9. One of these days I’m going to call them for a consultation. I think they’ve come a very long way since the beginning of PC.

  10. This sounds lovely! I’m going to have to take a look, when I work through some of my cleansers. I need something that will soothe.

  11. This sounds like an awesome cleanser. Lots of calming ingredients in this one.

  16. I love the green tea and chamomile ingredients – great for rosacea. I need to check this out

  18. This sounds like a great cleanser. Do you ever use it with your FOREO LUNA?

  20. I am using the entire line of the Skin Discovery Advanced Kit plus 2 more treatment products, and I can honestly say that I would be thrilled to use these products for the rest of my life, they are that good for my skin.
