FAQs

How is the CLEAR Oil-Free Moisturizer different from other oily skin moisturisers from Paula’s Choice?

    The best thing!

    I always return to this. It's the only moisturiser that consistently makes my skin better. Non irritating (providing I haven't destroyed my skin barrier), oil free, hydrating, and calming to my skin. It doesn't cause any redness, and works perfectly under makeup. I go through phases when I want to try something new, and it eventually disappoints me. I seem to be super sensitive to fragrance and any oil added to products regardless of their "comedogenic rating". So I need a safe moisturiser to go to. This is it!

    The best

    Best i have used.

    Always struggled with oily skin and not being able to use moisturisers as they made the oilyness worse.

    This is the only one that doesnt do that. My skin is so soft after using it. I notice a real difference with this and its now my go-to everyday.

    Its a little greasy as first but that goes away real quick once it soaks in.

    I have repurchased and will continue to do so.

    I lovee this product but can we get a bigger size!!

    I really love this product, its hydrating and even feels plumping. Im on accutane and have been using CeraVe, I wanted to switch to an australian owned non-boycotted brand. My only issue is that its such a tiny bottle for the price whilst the CeraVe bottle is half the price for 1L compared to 60 ml. Will be looking for other options that are more affordable but using this one in the meantime unless a bigger size (Thats actually fairly priced) comes out. I imagine this brand doing realllly good if it was sold at places like chemist warehouse for cheaper!

    Really Good

    Is a tiny bit greasy when you put it on but that disappears, but does have a slight smell initially - also goes away after 2ish minutes. I had really greasy skin - still slightly do and this just fixes it. It's a great moisturizer and I highly recommend it to people who have grease and acne problems.

    My favourite PC purchase so far.

    I couldn't figure out why my skin care just wasn't working 100%. Using this cleanser at night really has given me 80% better results, I have bumps and pores I use the BHA for that but it just wasn't giving the results I wanted. I never understood why but having an oil free cleanser really has made a great improvement. A little goes a long way with this cleanser and it's at such a great price point. Definitely recommend
