Paula's Choice RESIST Hydrating Cleanser for Dry & Aging Skin, Green Tea & Chamomile, 6.4 oz — Gentle, Moisture-Restoring Face Was

This silky, non-drying cleanser blends green tea and chamomile with restorative ingredients to cleanse without stripping skin's natural barrier. Formulated for dry or aging skin types, it rinses clean yet preserves hydration so skin looks smoother and calmer after each use. Free of fragrance and parabens, it’s designed to integrate into routine skincare systems that include toners, exfoliants, serums and daytime SPF.

How does this cleanser remove makeup without drying out skin?

The formula uses mild surfactants and emollients that lift away oils, dirt and light makeup while supporting the skin’s moisture layer. Rather than aggressive foaming agents, it relies on conditioning ingredients that rinse clean but leave skin comfortable.

• Mild cleansing agents that effectively break down daily residue
• Moisture-restoring emollients to prevent tightness
• Eye-safe ingredients so you can remove face and eye makeup gently
• Non-comedogenic texture that won’t clog pores

What key botanicals and benefits are in the formula?

Green tea and chamomile are included for their calming and antioxidant-rich profiles, helping skin appear more even and soothed after cleansing. Additional skin-restoring components support barrier health and leave a softer surface for subsequent serums and moisturizers.

• Green tea: antioxidant support to help skin look more resilient
• Chamomile: soothing comfort for sensitive or irritated areas
• Hydrating agents: replenish moisture during cleansing
• Barrier-support ingredients: help maintain skin’s natural defenses

How do I use this cleanser in my daily routine?

Use it twice daily—morning and evening—as the first step to clear away impurities and prepare skin for treatments. Apply to damp skin, massage gently, then rinse thoroughly; follow with your chosen toner, exfoliant or serum and a daytime SPF when heading outdoors.

• Morning: cleanse, tone, apply serum, then SPF
• Evening: cleanse to remove makeup and pollutants, then follow with treatments
• Suitable for use around the eye area to remove mascara and eye makeup
• Pairs well with Paula’s Choice RESIST serums and moisturizers

Will this product suit sensitive or aging skin?

Yes—its fragrance-free, paraben-free composition and gentle actives make it appropriate for sensitive, dry or maturing skin seeking hydration without irritation. The formula focuses on improving texture and comfort rather than aggressive exfoliation or stripping.

• No added fragrance to reduce irritation risk
• Free from parabens and unnecessary fillers
• Designed to support skin softness and visible smoothness
• Balances cleansing strength with nourishing care
