After dealing with a significant scar and scar-removal treatment, my skin became much more reactive and prone to inflammation. This formula helps support my skin barrier thanks to ingredients like ceramide EOP, which I’ve found really helpful for restoring the lipid layer. What I especially like is that it’s lightweight and not occlusive. I live in Atlanta where humidity is often above 70%, and heavy moisturizers or products with a lot of dimethicone tend to trap heat and make my skin red and irritated. This one hydrates without that sealed-in feeling. When humidity drops below about 40% I’ll sometimes switch to CeraVe PM, but most of the year this is the moisturizer I reach for. I apply it right after a shower or after misting my face with mineral water and spread a very thin layer, which works perfectly for me ## Frequently Bought Together - Paula's Choice RESIST Barrier Repair Advanced Moisturizer with Ceramides, Peptides, Deep Hydration Cream for Wrinkles, Anti-Aging for All Skin Types, Fragrance-Free & Paraben-Free, 1.7 Fl Oz - Paula's Choice SKIN PERFECTING 2% BHA Liquid Salicylic Acid Exfoliant-Facial Exfoliant for Enlarged Pores, Wrinkles & Fine Lines and Suitable for Blackhead-Prone Skin - Paula's Choice RESIST Perfectly Balanced Foaming Cleanser, Hyaluronic Acid & Aloe, Anti-Aging Face Wash, Large Pores & Oily Skin, 6.4 Fl Oz --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/683066658-paulas-choice-resist-barrier-repair-advanced-moisturizer-with-ceramides-peptides](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/683066658-paulas-choice-resist-barrier-repair-advanced-moisturizer-with-ceramides-peptides) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-12*
