Paula's Choice SKIN RECOVERY Cream Face Cleanser, Facial Cleanser with Coconut, Chamomile, Face Wash for Sensitive, Redness & Rosacea Prone Skin, Normal to Very Dry Facial Skin, Soothes & Hydrate

This is my favorite face cleanser! It’s gentle and effective. I find that it helps reduce redness in my cheeks and works well in dry winters as well as humid summers as my skin oiliness changes. I appreciate that it doesn’t have a scent and a little goes a long way.

I am hooked on this! I love the texture of it and how soothing it is. I have rosacea and extremely sensitive skin. It is thick and feels so calming on my skin. Leaves my skin feeling fresh, moisurized and even-toned. And I love that is comes in such a large size. It's pricey but it lasts long due to the size. Worth it!

Since moving to Minnesota from FL, I have been struggling with increased dryness and skin sensitivity. I feel like the dry spots take much longer to heal, no matter what I try (and I've tried everything). For reference, I am a 24 year old female with dry/sensitive skin and use a high-strength prescription retinol nightly (0.1% tretinoin). In FL, my skin was easily managed with Cerave moisturizing oil cleanser and la Roche poussey daily moisturizer and a hyaluronic acid serum, but not up here~ This has been my holy grail. The scent is minimal and natural, the texture is soft but perfect for melting away makeup. My skin feels completely cleansed afterwards and NOT irritated/dry. For the size as well, you get a HUGE bottle (16oz), so that should last plenty of time if you only use it on your face.

I have always liked this face wash for it’s soothing qualities. It used to be all I used. Since then, i’ve moved on to drugstore cleansers, that I like just as well or better. This used to come in a large bottle, for a much cheaper price. Now it’s an expensive small bottle. It’s definately overpriced, but it’s a good face wash. I really miss the old Paula’s Choice. I swore by it.

Mid-50’s. First time having significant skin issues - terrible acne, dryness, very painful burning. Used Cerave for several years but as my skin became dryer, Cerave stopped helping. Finally saw a dermatologist & received a rosacea diagnosis. Went down that rabbit hole of information. Oof. Decided to give PC a chance. Glad I did! It’s a very luxurious & creamy lotion wash. Washing my face with this product then applying avocado oil on my water-misted face has revitalized my skin. After one month, my acne is nearly gone. Skin texture is much softer. Still a wee bit of dryness on my forehead & the tiniest spot of redness on the side of my face but hopeful that’ll heal soon. Those were the most damaged areas so makes sense they are the last to heal. I switched to muslin washcloths as my normal cotton cloths were too harsh & most likely damaged my skin barrier. Eliminated wheat, dairy & coffee as well. Turns out dairy may have been the root cause all along. Strange how that manifested in my face now. Highly recommend this product.

Love this product! I can't use the foaming, gels, etc and need a cream cleanser. I wipe it off with a soft makeup towel and don't rinse it with water. It takes the place of the sisley white lily which I've been using for about 27 years. It's far less expensive and a quality replacement. It removes all my makeup and leaves no residue. I use Paula's Choice 2% BHA before bed and follow with my night cream. I use it for my morning cleanser and follow with a moisturizer and my skin looks good all day, It doesn't 'eat' my foundation and I only need to give my face a light dusting of setting powder in the late afternoon to keep my makeup looking fresh.

Slightly more expensive than I’d have liked but I’ve had good results with Paula’s Choice products in the past. I was recommended the skin recovery cleanser by Paula’s Choice Customer Service for my rosacea. I decided to splurge! It is a silky thick consistency, doesn’t lather and leaves my skin soft but it doesn’t feel clean, feels like a greasy residue remains on my face. It doesn’t seem to relieve rosacea redness. I prefer their lighter face cleanser

Getting older and going through all the hormonal changes from having a child has really messed with my skin, which wasn't even close to being ideal to begin with. I've always yearned for a gentle cleanser - I have extremely sensitive skin - that is strong enough to remove the liquid foundation that I wear. Paula's Choice Skin Recovery Cleanser is probably my top favorite cleanser of all time. Its price point is cheaper if you were to buy directly from Paula's Choice website; however, they only offer free shipping on orders of $50+. If you're an Amazon Prime member and you're not looking to order anything else from Paula's Choice, I'd say it's priced fairly here. The cleanser's consistency is that of a more milky Cetaphil. It keeps this consistency and doesn't really work into a lather when I wash my face; however, it removes nearly all of my makeup. During the day, I always wear sunscreen and I typically opt to wear liquid foundation that's in the medium-to-full-coverage range (i.e. thick, liquid foundation). The first time I used this cleanser, I was impressed with how efficient it was in removing my makeup. I can tell if a cleanser isn't that efficient because I'll see the traces of foundation on the cotton pads/balls when I use a toner after washing.I never see any residual foundation on the cotton pad after I've used this particular cleanser. It isn't strong enough to remove my waterproof eye makeup completely, but that's why you get a separate eye makeup remover. I've noticed that since using this cleanser, my face stays in the dewy range without going too oily. I love that it doesn't leave you with that super squeaky feeling after washing up. My skincare routine is currently this cleanser, Thayer's witch hazel, Paula's Choice 2% BHA liquid, Paula's Choice C15 super booster, and Paula's Choice moisture boost face cream. I'm still experiencing some breakouts, but the overall texture of my facial skin has improved drastically and it's only been about a month of doing this new skincare regimen.

Love this cleanser, such a pity it is being discontinued!

Best skin cleanser ever for dry skin.

Thick and creamy cleanser, perfect for sensitive skin. My redness prone skin loves this cleanser.

Works great for very dry skin especially if using tretinoin my skin doesn’t peel anymore because of this cleanser.

My skin has become sensitive with age (40’s) and this cleanser doesn’t irritate and removes Estée Lauder double wear makeup. This is my second bottle.
