Paula's Choice reviews and discussion

This is an OG product for a reason, it really works. It does a good job keeping clogged pores and small bumps under control over time. The liquid formula is lightweight, easy to apply, and layers well with the rest of the skincare routine. It’s a product that works better with consistency than quick fixes. Overall, a solid exfoliant that earns its reputation

I am so impressed with this exfoliant, it is gentle but very effective. I love how it makes my face feel refreshed and so clean, especially after sweating and working out. I use this before my moisturizer and it works great!

This spf is genuinely great. The texture is runny and lightweight, so it blends in seconds. It doesn’t leave any white cast or heavy feeling. It hydrates just enough and layers well under makeup with zero pilling.

PC really nailed it with this lip treatment. I love the texture, which is comfortable on the lips and doesn’t feel sticky. The glossy finish is gorgeous, and it makes lips look plumper and way smoother. No harsh feeling either.

Ectoin is such an underrated ingredient, and this booster is just amazing for soothing irritated skin and repairing your skin barrier. It's lightweight and layers really well under moisturizer and makeup. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because of the price; I think there are other brands cheaper with the same product quality.

This is a recent purchase--I was influenced by a content creator on Instagram and the existing reviews for the product. I'm noticing more signs of aging in my skin and wanted to find a serum to help combat things like uneven skin tone, more visible pores, fine lines, etc. So far so good! I use this every other day and do notice an immediate difference--sort of an allover filter to my complexion. I'm hoping that with more consistent use over time I will also be able to report more dramatic results (that's what got me from the other reviews of the product). I'm excited to see what happens!

This lip balm gives my lips a nice natural plump look. It has a small reddish/ purple tint. The collagen gives the lips a nourished feel that lasts all day. I will definitely repurchase this lip balm.

Good brand. I am currently using their 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant on my husband's skin to prevent the build up sebaceous filaments, particularly on his nose area. Personally, I have used their Advanced Replenishing Toner which is a good option for those with dry, mature skin (30s and older).

Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant stands out as a reliable and effective product for those seeking to address acne, blackheads, and uneven skin texture. Its formulation combines potent exfoliating ingredients with soothing agents, making it a staple in many skincare routines. As with any active ingredient, it's advisable to start with a patch test and gradually introduce it into your regimen to assess skin tolerance.

The workhorse of my skincare routine. This exfoliator is gentle enough for daily use and brings out a great glow in my skin. If I go a few days without it, I can tell. It helps slough off dead skin and really makes my skin feel more moisturized after.

The only product I’ve used is the Salicylic acid exfoliant, but it did change my skin. It reduced significantly the texture on my skin (the closed comedones, blackhead, and whiteheads). It had the perfect consistency.

This product is incredible. After just a few uses, it cleared up my skin, smoothed out my texture, and made my pores less noticeable. It’s lightweight, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t irritate my skin at all. My face looks so much brighter and cleaner now, definitely one of the favorite skin care products.

pretty good, clears up the skin. a little irritating but that's honestly because of the acid. I think that the gel version might be a little better, just because it would be a little easier to apply, versus the liquid version.

Despite consistent use, I didn’t see the noticeable improvements in texture, clarity, or glow that I expected. A few items felt irritating or didn’t sit well with my skin type, which was disappointing given the brand’s focus on gentle, effective formulas.

I tried the Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant and honestly, it really works. Within a couple of weeks I noticed my pores looking clearer and my breakouts calming down, which was huge for me. It definitely lived up to the hype in terms of helping with acne. The only downside for me was the texture, it felt a little too sticky on my skin, especially if I wanted to layer other products afterward. But overall, if you’re looking for something that actually makes a difference with clogged pores and acne, I’d still recommend giving it a try.

I have used Paula’s Choice CLEAR line for several years, specifically the Daily Skin Clearing Treatment. I use it on pimples that pop up. It works and won’t dry out my skin. It is also easy to carry on wherever you go. Pricing seems reasonable.

Some people recommended this set to me and I think it went well. I only use it on occasions now and not as a trio, only what I need when needed. I don't really do much for skin care, but I didn't see anything bad happen to my skin when it did use it often. I think it's worth it to try more regularly.

Bought the mini version of the 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant to try out first because I have pretty sensitive skin. I've been using it in my nighttime skincare routine for the past two weeks and really like it.

Paula’s Choice is my holy grail skincare brand. The BHA Liquid Exfoliant completely transformed my skin—clearing pores, smoothing texture, and reducing breakouts within weeks. Their ingredient transparency and science-backed formulas earn my full trust.

These presoaked exfoliating pads are good. They have the perfect amount of moisture on them. They're soft and gentle on my skin. They don't leave a sticky residue. They made my face feel clean and fresh. They're individually wrapped making them perfect for on the go.
