How RESIST Anti-Aging Works

Paula’s Choice RESIST skincare range is our most advanced anti-aging product collection, formulated with cutting-edge ingredients to improve the look of wrinkles, dull skin, uneven tone, loss of firmness, and enlarged pores.

Whether you have oily skin, dry skin, or combination skin, RESIST is designed to be flexible and effective across different skin types. We created two product groups: RESIST for normal to oily/combination skin and RESIST for normal to dry skin.

If your skincare needs are primarily about fighting signs of aging, then our RESIST anti-aging collection is the perfect place to start. If you already are using products from one of our other skincare collections — SKIN RECOVERY, SKIN BALANCING, or CALM — you can add RESIST products into your routine for added anti-aging benefits.

Paula’s Choice Skincare is all about customising your skincare routine tailored to your concerns, skin type and personal preferences.

Are Paula’s Choice RESIST Products Suitable for You?

You don’t have to use RESIST exclusively. It works well alongside other Paula’s Choice skincare lines. Here are common questions:

1. Is RESIST only for mature skin?

No, RESIST anti-aging products are suitable for anyone looking to fight signs of aging, no matter the age.

2. I'm in my 20s; am I too young to use RESIST?

Not at all. Aging signs like enlarged pores, uneven tone, and fine lines can show up at any age. Starting early helps maintain youthful, healthy skin.

3. How is RESIST different from other Paula's Choice skincare collections?

RESIST contains more concentrated anti-aging ingredients than our other ranges. While all our products have some anti-aging benefits, RESIST is specifically formulated to target multiple signs of aging.

4. What if I have wrinkles and breakouts at the same time?

RESIST Anti-Aging for Normal to Oily/Combination Skin is the best option for you. This skincare collection addresses wrinkles, clogged pores, oiliness, and dehydration without irritation. Pair it with products from Paula’s Choice CLEAR collection for more acne support. 

What’s the Difference Between RESIST, SKIN RECOVERY, SKIN BALANCING, and CALM?

Whether you're dealing with normal to dry skin or normal to oily/combination skin, the RESIST products contain greater levels of anti-aging ingredients in innovative formulas to fight the appearance of wrinkles, provide firmer-looking skin, reveal radiance, and improve uneven skin tone.

The Paula's Choice skincare collections outside of RESIST are first designed to address the needs of specific skin types. For example, the SKIN RECOVERY products provide greater levels of soothing agents and emollients for dry to very dry skin, while the SKIN BALANCING products provide lighter, pore-minimising, matte-finish formulas for those with oily or combination skin. If you have sensitive skin, the CALM products might be ideal as they use gentle-yet-effective ingredients that are both nourishing and soothing.

The difference between RESIST and products from these other collections is that RESIST’s products focus on anti-aging, while the other collections focus on skin type. You can mix and match products on your skin’s evolving needs.

Mix and Match for Customised Results

If you like the results you're getting from the SKIN RECOVERY, SKIN BALANCING, or CALM when using them in your skincare routines, it's perfectly fine to continue to use them - just add targeted RESIST products to your routine.

Try adding one of our powerful serums or boosters for even better results.

When Should You Start Using Anti-Aging Skincare Products?

There’s no “right age” to begin using anti-aging products—just like there's no perfect age to start eating healthy. Whether you're in your 20s or 50s, your skin needs hydration, antioxidants, and protection from environmental damage. Starting early with the right products—like those in the RESIST anti-aging range—helps prevent signs of aging before they appear.
