"I have been using the Paula's Choice Calm line Rescue and Repair moisturizer fairly frequently in the morning. The blend of sunflower seed oil, allantoin and prebiotics in a creamy texture is very hydrating and supportive, but it finishes nicely and does not make your skin feel extra greasy or shiny."

"The rescue and repair intensive moisturizer left my skin feeling dry, plain and simple, it was not good whatsoever, which really disappoints me because I loved their previous moisturizers in this Calm line. I used to recommend that moisturizer, and now I no longer recommend it since they changed it, so that was definitely a fail for me."

"The Rescue Repair Intense Moisturizer, don't buy this, it is not good. It has that clumping thing, it doesn't spread on the skin, it almost foams a bit which is very odd and not desirable. I did not find this to be moisturizing at all, in fact my skin almost felt tighter and drier after using it. It also has an odd cooking oil odor that lingers a bit. If you were thinking about getting this, don't do it."
