C5 Super Boost Vitamin C Moisturizer

Paula's Choice C5 Super Boost Vitamin C Moisturizer rolls two routine steps into one: a silky, lightweight cream that hydrates and supports the skin barrier while a five percent dose of vitamin C works on dullness and early signs of aging. One jar, one step, morning or night.

What it actually does

• Brightens daily. Vitamin C at 5% counters the free-radical damage that leaves skin looking dull, in a strength and texture the brand says suits every skin type.
• Trains skin to hold water. Hexapeptide-5 supports barrier health and helps skin stay hydrated over time, per Paula's Choice.
• Pulls moisture in and keeps it. Polyglutamic acid draws water into the skin and holds it there for a supple, firmer feel.
• Hydrates around the clock. The brand's dual-encapsulated lipid blend supports the barrier and is clinically shown, per Paula's Choice, to hydrate for up to 24 hours.
• Brand-reported consumer study. After 28 days in an independent study of 69 people cited by the brand: 96% agreed it didn't irritate, 91% agreed it smoothed rough, dry skin, and 93% agreed it works well under makeup.
• Clean formulation. Free of parabens, sulfates (SLS/SLES), mineral oil, phthalates and formaldehyde releasers. Gluten-free, cruelty-free, recyclable packaging.

How to use

1. Use once or twice daily as your moisturiser step.
2. Smooth a dime-size amount over face and neck.
3. In the morning, always finish with SPF 30+.

Questions

Do I still need a separate vitamin C serum?

Not necessarily. This builds a 5% daily dose into your moisturiser step. If you're treating pronounced discoloration, a dedicated higher-strength serum is the more targeted route — this is the easy, everyday option.

Can I wear it under makeup?

Yes — in the brand's 28-day consumer study, 93% of participants agreed it works well under makeup. Let it settle for a minute before applying your base.
