I test a lot of skincare, and it’s amazing how many excellent and effective products there are out there. So many choices!
I have a few eye products that are my favorites, but I’m always open to trying more. Recently, I had a chance to try Paula’s Choice Resist Anti-aging Eye Cream.
The cream itself is thick and rich, more like a balm than a lotion or cream.
I only need to use a tiny bit to cover my entire eye area: the lid and above as well as around and under my eyes. Resist Anti-aging Eye Cream is definitely formulated for dry or very dry skin, like mine! If you have oily skin or lids, walk on by. This is for us dry-skinned peeps with dry peepers 😉
At first, I was concerned that the rich balm would be too thick and greasy even for me. No way! It goes on easily and seems to melt into and onto my skin. In fact, when I’m wearing it, if I touch my crow’s feet, my skin feels so much smoother, almost wrinkle-free. It feels and looks firmer too. Applying it before bedtime, I wake up with very nicely hydrated skin. Using this eye cream in the winter will be a no-brainer for me, but even now at the start of the summer, it’s still perfect for keeping my year-round dry skin smooth and hydrated.
Paula’s Choice Resist Anti-aging Eye Cream is formulated with antioxidants and hydrating, replenishing ingredients. I love how Paula’s Choice explains what each ingredient does. Take a look.

On a different subject, congratulations to Sharon R, the winner of the Zenmed giveaway!! Thanks to all who participated in the giveaway. And stay tuned for another giveaway from another skincare brand coming up very soon.
This sounds like a very effective formula for dry skin, and it’s nice that it can be used on the eye lids as well!
I need to use all of my eye creams on my lids, so glad it doesn’t irritate dry sensitive eyes like mine!
Thank you for reminding me about this eye cream, it’s one of my favourite and I remember how hydrated it left my eye areas. Really should repurchase in the future.
I’m glad you’re a fan too!
I love a hardcore eye cream and this sounds like such a good one!
Definitely a terrific eye cream for dry-eyed gals like me. You might like it too
I am not the right candidate for this. I have combination skin. But good for those who are on the opposite spectrum
Yes, this eye cream is really for dry-eyed gals like me.
I’m always looking for that magical eye cream to help my extra dry eye area. I didn’t realize the Resist line even had an eye cream. I’m going to order a travel size or sample to try.
This is one of the few eye creams I’ve used up. I tend to try so many that I don’t always get to the bottom but PC was one I kept coming back to until it was gone.
I’m glad to hear that it’s one of your faves, Marcia. I think it may become my go-to for winter, though I’m enjoying it now too especially at night. It’s supremely hydrating.
I have loved everything I have tried from them! This sounds like another winner!
Now that you live in the frigid north, Paula’s Choice Anti-aging Eye Cream would be good for a Canadian winter!
I love using thick, balmy creams during the cold season! I like the one from Kiehl’s but I really want to try this one too.
The Paula’s Choice Resist Anti-aging Eye Cream would be good for MI winters!
It sounds like something I could use in the evening! I wouldn’t say that I have super dry skin under my eyes, but my concealers alway make it look dryer. I guess I could do with more moisture.
I think it’s a really good eye cream for the cold weather to combat dryness from indoor heat or wind. Think of it when the temps go back down (tho I think you’re in Cali?)
