"Paula's Choice Barrier Repair Moisturizer with Retinol is fantastic if you have dry skin or a damaged skin barrier. For example, if you use something like the prescription retinoic acid and it burned your freaking face off, this is a really good way to get a retinoid in that doesn't overly burn the face. This takes a lot of the guesswork out. It has ceramides, shea butter, and green tea so if you have a damaged skin barrier your skin will love this. This is really good for more sensitive skin types and more dry skin types."
