Paula's Choice reviews and discussion

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.

I think I do like this peptide booster. I think I would also like to buy a full size to determine if it is a booster for my skin but it does feel very nice. And apparently it has multiple peptides for multiple purposes.

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.

I’m pretty picky with my skincare and feel like most things I try don’t make a big difference or drastically improve my skin. Which is why I’m impressed with the 2% BHA liquid exfoliant! It actually made a difference and improved my skin texture. I have pretty good skin to begin with and rarely break out, but still had some texture issues on my cheeks and small bumps. After using the exfoliant a few times a week, I truly noticed a softness and smoothness with my skin tone! I’ve cut back on using this and will put it on once a week for maintenance but yeah, I like this a lot!

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.

Although it is a bit expensive, I really love Paula’s choice! Some of their products haven’t worked for me, like the BHA or azelaic, but I love their cleansers and their toners. Super gentle but super effective

Overall strong formulas without fragrances which is good for my sensitive skin. I do feel like as they have gotten more and more popular, the brand has started to pump our products very quickly and some are redundant or not as high of quality.

Can't speak to all of the products but I decided to invest in a high quality Vitamin C serum and I love it! The smell is inoffensive and it's not overly-orange so it blends into my skin well. Packaging is simple and nice and the price isn't too bad compared to other nice Vitamin Cs on the market. Would repurchase!

2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant - I'd say this is definitely a solid BHA. I remember seeing more drastic results when I first purchased it, but now I feel neutral in terms of how it affects my skin. Would recommend it to anyone first starting out with BHAs + exfoliants! Niacinamide 20% Treatment - Didn't feel like this really did anything for me! Hydrating Gel-to-Cream Cleanser - Love this one and it's lasted me a LONG time (refer to photo)! I use it as my default shower face cleanser and a little goes a long way. I never feel like my face is dry or flaky afterward.

I used their cleanser and salicylic acid serum and both worked great on my skin. After using the salicylic serum my skin did dry out a little bit so I would definitely recommend double moisturizer or using a heavy moisturizer. Other than that I didn’t experience any problems! Little pricey but would definitely recommend.

Nice booster! I love it has collagen in it making my face look smooth and tighter. It's also helps plump and firm my skin with 6 peptides, hyaluronic acid and amino acid. While fighting anti-aging lines and wrinkles.

The Travel Size Paula's Choice BHA exfoliant caught my eye due to its positive reviews online. I snagged it on sale, intrigued by its potential benefits for my skin concerns. While it's too early to judge, I'll continue testing it to see if it lives up to the hype. Looking forward to seeing any potential changes with continued use.

I tried the exfoliant and it really did wonders for my skin. I will definitely be repurchasing soon. The mini size lasted me for about 2 months I believe

I have complicated experiences with this brand, but my TL;DR is that if a product works, it WERKS, and they are very fairly priced and safely packaged. My problem is that sometimes, their products are complete duds, or they cause actual harm. I'll give you one product I hate and one I love: Holy Grail: Omega+ Complex Cleansing Balm Amazing no-mess packaging is great for the shower because no water can get in. I also love that this doesn't burn my eyes when I use it to take off mascara and that it generally works well on stubborn makeup. Not only that, but it's at a fair price point. Product that almost destroyed me: 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant It is absolutely criminal that this product says you can use it once or twice a day. When I first got into skincare, I bought this product and used it once a day. My face turned red and I completely WRECKED my skin barrier. Everything I put on my skin burned and my face was red and itchy. After years of becoming a skincare expert, I realize that no one should be exfoliating more than 1-3x a week. The idea that you could work up to 2x a day with this product is insane.
