Paula’s Choice RESIST Retinol Skin-Smoothing Body Treatment Review

Recently I had the opportunity to try out the Paula’s Choice RESIST Retinol Skin-smoothing Body Treatment. This is not meant for use on the face, but for use all over the body. I’ve primarily used it on my neck, hands, chest, and arms.

Paula’s Choice sent this to me.

My thoughts
This is a pretty sweet moisturizer with retinol for use on your décolleté, hands, arms, and elsewhere. I typically put my facial moisturizers on my face, neck, décolleté, and hands. It’s nice to have a quality moisturizer with anti-aging benefits to put everywhere aside from my face. It has a really nice emollient quality to it and spreads easily. I’m using this on my hands, neck, décolleté and arms. I’m using a regular moisturizer elsewhere, and another anti-aging moisturizer on my face. so I’ve got everything covered!

It’s very important that whenever you are using a product with retinol that you make sure to wear sunscreen whenever you’re out in the sun. I’m paranoid, so I prefer SPF 30 or greater. I’ve used this product for nearly a month and I definitely feel like my skin is smoother and softer.

I love the container, as it’s easy to dispense the product. It’s an airless pump, so you don’t risk the anti-aging ingredients repeatedly being exposed to the air like they would in a jar package, plus the product doesn’t get caught under my nails. And I’m thrilled at the price. Getting 4 oz for $23 seems like a steal!
