Paula's Choice C5 Super Boost Moisturizer | 5% Vitamin C & Squalane, Fragrance-Free

Overview

Meet Paula's Choice C5 Super Boost Moisturizer, a multi-active daily cream designed to hydrate, brighten, and refine texture without fragrance. Its core is a stable 5% vitamin C complex that helps reduce dullness and supports a look of firmness when paired with barrier-friendly ingredients. The formula also blends hexapeptide-5, lipids, and polyglutamic acid to reinforce the skin’s moisture barrier, delivering lasting hydration without heaviness.

This lightweight, silky cream is crafted to layer easily under sunscreen or makeup, leaving a comfortable veil on the skin. With its fragrance-free formulation, it aims to be gentle on sensitive skin while still delivering a noticeable sensory experience—cooling, smooth, and non-greasy on contact.

Key benefits and what to expect

• Hydration that sustains over time thanks to barrier-supporting actives like lipids and polyglutamic acid.
