Paula's Choice Lightweight Face Moisturizer — Omega+ Complex, Fragrance-Free, Shea & Hyaluronic Acid

Paula's Choice Omega+ Complex Lightweight Face Moisturizer is a cloud-textured, fragrance-free face cream that replenishes dry, sensitive skin with omegas, ceramides, hyaluronic acid and brightening vitamin C.

This lightweight moisturizer pairs a blend of omega fatty acids (from chia and flaxseed), shea butter and barrier-supporting ceramides with humectant hyaluronic acid and antioxidant vitamin C. The formula is designed to soothe dehydration, reinforce the skin’s moisture barrier and leave skin feeling softer without heavy residue or added fragrance. It absorbs quickly and can be layered into morning and evening routines after serums and before sunscreen.

How does this moisturizer help dry or sensitive skin?

The product supplies essential fatty acids and ceramides that mimic the skin’s natural lipids, helping to calm irritation and reduce moisture loss. Hyaluronic acid draws water into the upper layers for immediate smoothing while shea butter provides gentle emollience.

• Contains omegas 3, 6 and 9 from chia and flaxseed for lipid replenishment
• Forms a supportive layer with ceramides to strengthen the barrier
• Hyaluronic acid attracts and retains surface moisture
• Fragrance-free formulation to minimize irritation risk

Will this feel heavy or greasy on my face?

Despite its rich-sounding ingredients, the cream has a cloud-like, lightweight texture that absorbs readily without leaving an oily film. It’s formulated to deliver nourishment and softness while still feeling comfortable under makeup or sunscreen.

• Lightweight formula that sinks in quickly
• Non-greasy finish suitable for layering
• Works under SPF or makeup without pilling

How should I add this into my skincare routine?

Apply the moisturizer once or twice daily after cleansing, toning and any serums or targeted treatments. For daytime use, always follow with a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher; for evening, it pairs well with richer serums like the Omega+ Complex Serum for added nourishment.

• Use after serums and treatments, before sunscreen in the morning
• Can be used alone at night or layered over treatment serums
• Suitable for daily use on face and neck

What kind of results can I expect and how soon?

Many users notice immediate improvement in skin softness and reduced tightness due to humectants and emollients. Consistent use helps reinforce the moisture barrier and maintain a more supple, comfortable complexion over weeks.

• Immediate hydration and smoother feel from hyaluronic acid and emollients
• Barrier support and long-term moisture retention with ceramides and omegas
• Vitamin C contributes to brighter-looking skin without added fragrance

Who is this for: Paula's Choice Omega+ Complex Lightweight Face Moisturizer is built for people with dry, easily irritated or sensitive skin who want a nourishing yet lightweight daily cream. It’s a good choice if you prefer fragrance-free, science-backed formulas that layer well with serums and sunscreen, and for anyone seeking to restore hydration, support the skin barrier and maintain a comfortable, supple complexion.
