Paula’s Choice earns strong reviews for efficacy, with many citing the Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant, retinol, and sunscreens as transforming skin texture, clearing pores, and calming breakouts, while gentle enough for sensitive users when introduced gradually. Reviews also flag drawbacks: occasional irritation or rashes, synthetic or unpleasant scents, leaking or hard‑to‑control packaging, a watery texture that can feel sticky, and mixed results or no improvement for some users.

Although this company has many amazing formulas, I really want to highlight their “age resist omega moisturizer SPF 50” this was a game changer in sunscreen for me. I can’t stand the traditional, thick, overly scented sunscreens and this is so far from that. This one is so lightweight it absorbs leaving barely anything there and the sunscreen scent is so minimal/ I cannot recommend this enough. (Their other products are just as good fyi)
Amazing range that caters to all skin types! The Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant is my favourite and I've repurchased 3 times already.

Love their AHA/BHA exfoliator! Made my skin texture so much smoother after one use.
It’s a cult classic but I haven’t really seen much results from my personal use
Feedback
Easier packaging for daily use
Paula’s Choice is consistent in making fantastic products that help with a multitude of issues. I’ve tried several of their products and was never disappointed in any of them! I also really enjoy the branding as well, it’s clean and gets the point across about what you’re buying.

No improvements necessary.
One of my favorite skincare brands. The liquid exfoliant and vitamin C serum are two of my ride or die products. I also have their Retinol but my skin is very sensitive so I don't use it much.
tried the BHA acid and did not notice a difference but i have seen reviews that many have. I wanted to decrease the appearance of my pores but did not experience that
I purchased the Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliator from Sephora. I only purchased the small size to try. The price point was good. I have been using it for a a couple of weeks and I can see a change in my skin texture. I didn't experience any irritation on my sensitive skin. I will be buying the larger size once I am through with the trial. Probably buy directly from the website as prices seem to be better.
Great exfoliation! Wonderful products that will LAST. Finding good skincare products is difficult but Paula’s choice knows what they’re doing!

Absolutely love the BHA liquid exfoliant! I use it once a week and it makes my skin so smooth and glowy. It's not harsh at all and doesn't bother my sensitive skin.
Great brand with huge range of products. Can get products on sale from brand’s site.

I received a sample of the 2% BHA liquid exfoliant in a beauty advent calendar, and I absolutely love it. It’s a leave on exfoliant which doesn’t feel harsh on my dry and sensitive skin, or leave any residue. Will be buying the full size version!
The OG no-nonsense skincare brand.
Feedback
Their brand has become watered down but at least their BHA is still great.
I love Paula's Choice products. I have the 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant and Omega+ Complex Moisturizer, both have improved my skin so much.
I am obsessed with Paula's Choice 2% BHA! It absolutely transformed my combination skin and evened my texture so much.
Feedback
Nothing! Great line.
I use the 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant from the brand , and it become one of my favourite skincare items.
Feedback
I tested 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant in gel format, and I recommend the liquid more!

I have used this company a few times and only just encountered an issue with their delivery. I guess I've been lucky or there's an actual issue with them recently. The CS agents are not apologetic or concerned so they know something is wrong and aren't being paid enough to care about it when faced with a complaint. The products I've used work well, hence me going back but If I get this order it will be my last time using them. The customer service has been terrible. The worst I've encountered in a long time. They've become complacent and not worthy of my money any longer

I have been struggling with acne for several years, and one of the biggest issues i found was SUNSCREEN. Every single brand and type of sunscreen would make me breakout even more, EXCEPT for Paula's choice Skin balancing day cream SPF 30. Sun protection is so so important and I am eternally grateful that i've found a product that works so well for my skin type! will recommend this product for the rest of my days istg.
