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

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

This lightweight face cream combines plant-derived omega fatty acids (from chia, flaxseed and other sources), soothing shea butter, barrier-supporting ceramides and antioxidants in a non-irritating formula designed to restore moisture and comfort. It absorbs quickly without a greasy residue and pairs well with serums, nighttime treatments or daily SPF for daytime protection. The formula is crafted to calm sensitivity while delivering hydration and a more even-looking complexion.

How does this moisturizer help dehydrated, sensitive skin?

The moisturizer replenishes lipids and supports the skin barrier to reduce tightness and visible dryness. Hyaluronic acid attracts and holds moisture while omegas and ceramides help rebuild and seal in hydration for longer-lasting comfort. Antioxidants and vitamin C provide brightening support without added fragrance or unnecessary actives that can irritate sensitized skin.

• Omega 3, 6 & 9 from plant oils to replenish essential skin lipids
• Ceramides to strengthen and protect the moisture barrier
• Hyaluronic acid for immediate and sustained hydration
• Vitamin C for gentle brightening and antioxidant support

When and how should I use Paula's Choice Omega+ Complex Moisturizer?

Use it once or twice daily after cleansing, toning, exfoliating, and applying any serums or targeted treatments. For daytime, follow with a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher; for evening, layer it over repair serums to lock in moisture. The lightweight texture makes it easy to incorporate into a multi-step routine without pilling.

• Apply to clean skin morning and/or night
• Layer after serums and before sunscreen (day) or oils (night)
• Suitable as the final hydrating step in most routines

Is this cream appropriate for sensitive or reactive skin?

The formula is fragrance-free and avoids unnecessary irritants, so it’s designed with sensitivity in mind. Ingredients like shea butter and plant oils soothe and nourish, while the balanced combination of ceramides and omegas helps reduce vulnerability to environmental stressors. Patch testing is recommended for very reactive skin, as with any new product.

• No added fragrance or harsh dyes
• Soothing emollients like shea butter and plant oils
• Barrier-focused ingredients to reduce trans-epidermal water loss

What texture and finish can I expect from this moisturizer?

The cream feels airy and cloud-like on application, spreading easily and absorbing without leaving a heavy or greasy film. It delivers an immediate feeling of comfort and a subtle dewy finish, making it suitable under makeup for many skin types. The lightweight delivery makes repeated daily use comfortable even for combination skin seeking extra hydration.

• Light, non-greasy texture that absorbs quickly
• Leaves a soft, slightly luminous finish
• Works well under makeup or as a final nighttime layer

Who is this for? Paula's Choice Omega+ Complex Lightweight Face Moisturizer is aimed at people with dry to sensitive skin who want a nourishing, low-irritation cream that supports the skin barrier and improves hydration. It's also a good choice for anyone looking to add plant-based omegas and ceramides into their routine without heavy oils or fragrances, and for users who want gentle brightening from vitamin C alongside long-lasting moisture.
