Paula's Choice reviews and discussion

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

I have been using Paula’s choice 2% BHA exfoliant for a few years now and it has helped keep my acne in control. It also reduces the appearance of my pores. I use this every other night and couldn’t survive without it.

I haven't tried many of the brands products. However, I highly highly recommend the Skin Revealing Body Lotion 10% AHA. I have keratosis pilaris and find it difficult to find such as lightweight cream with glycolic acid.

I know this product is controversial, and I can understand why, but hear me out: it just comes down to how you use the product. I have super, super sensitive skin. At times even a simple moisturizer has been tough on me, but I've found the 2% BHA Liquid exfoliant to be gentle enough for me! I started out using it every other day and now I'm able to use it once daily. Always leaves my skin glowing! Just don't overuse!

I love their 2% BHA liquid exfoliant! It really helps prevent breakouts and I only have to use it 2-3 times a week for maintenance (otherwise I'll dry out). But it really does help exfoliate gently but effectively. I've been using for a couple years and I don't see myself quiting it.

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.

Did someone say 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant? No? Well, too bad—because I’ll be raving about it until the day I die. This stuff is magic. It’s transformed my skin like nothing else has → fading redness, evening out my tone, shrinking the look of my pores, and doing it all without irritating my sensitive skin (as long as I don’t overdo it, of course). Paula’s Choice really popped off with this one. Legendary product. Holy grail status. Forever in my routine.

This is hands down one of the best skincare products I’ve tried. It completely transformed my skin texture—pores look more refined, and breakouts have decreased. It’s gentle but effective, and my skin looks smoother and brighter with consistent use.

من أول الاستخدام، حسيت إن بشرتي أهدى شوية والبقع بدأت تخف. التركيبة خفيفة وبتندمج بسرعة، بس ممكن تسبب جفاف لو استخدمتيه مع منتجات تقشير تانية. سعره أعلى من بدائل زي The Ordinary، بس بيقدم فعالية كويسة وثبات واضح في النتيجة

This retinol is powerful but surprisingly gentle—I didn’t experience any major peeling or irritation. It helped smooth fine lines and even out my skin tone over time. The added peptides and vitamin C make it feel like an all-in-one anti-aging boost.

There isn’t much from Paula’s choice I haven’t liked. The bha serum is a classic and one I’ve used for years. I love their moisturizer and sunscreen, and recently their peptide lip balm. I want to try more of their peptide products. Everything is science based and the website is super education forward.
