Paulas' Choice

Love many of her products. Rarely see her on the Q. Wish she would have a TSV again. Anyone know of any upcoming shows.

I use Paula’s Choice, but I have found she has much better deals on her website plus free shipping.

Anyone else use her Skin Recovery cleanser? I've been using it for years and recently reordered. I swear the new bottle is different. I've compared ingredients and I've looked at her website to see if anyone else has noticed a change.

It feels much thicker and it seems to rinse off more easily. Not a bad change, but there's definitely a difference.

beautybrowsing, I have used her serums for years. Her RESIST super antioxidant serum is, IMHO, her best. It contains the most stable form of Vitamin C, along with Vitamin E and Ferulic Acid. There is a version for oily skin, but it doesn't have the same ingredients as the original. Her other serums are very good as well. Keep in mind the RESIST super antioxidant serum is silicone based, so it has a lot of slip. If you aren't comfortable with that delivery system, you may not like it. Just choose based on what you need for your skin. HTH

Thanks, love2laugh. I think I would like that serum. Hopefully, a mineral based SPF would glide over it well. I remember that Paula used to have 25% of sales once in a while. Would love to know when. There is so much I want to try from her line.

@beautybrowsing, if you haven't already, sign up for e-mails on her site. You will get all the promo announcements. I haven't seen 25 percent discounts, though, in a long time.

I agree with suzyQ - I haven't seen 25% discounts on the site in a very long time. The most I've seen is 15%.

@Love2Laugh, I did use a 20 percent code about a month ago. But yes, I don't see them as regularly as before.

Rats! I missed that 20% one. I waited to order, and some how missed out on it. I can't seem to get the email from them. They say I am on the list, but I never receive emails from them. I have to lurk every couple of weeks, and if I miss it for too long, I miss those deals.

@Love2Laugh, I'd give them a call if I were you.

Those looking for a promo code, I got a Paulas choice catalog yesterday in the mail and there is a 20% off code on the back. I used it last night. I'm sure you can find it if you google.

I think its good until Feb 19th

I love PC's products and have used them for many years. There's only two things I'm not crazy about.

1. Lots of "cones" in her products and it gives me milia. (Can't deal with that).

2. I was on her e-mail list, but I'm bothered by her DAILY e-mails!!!! I just removed my e-mail from her list. I would like to receive e-mails, but daily is entirely too much.

Thanks for the info. Just used her 20% off coupon and free shipping over 50.00. Anyone use her bha spot remover. It has hydroquinoine in it.

@beautybrowsing Funny you should post about this, I was just thinking about this topic the other day. Her last TSV was such an amazing deal, I wish she would do another one. She also had a One Time Only that day that was a really good deal.

Her sales on her website aren't as great as they used to be, nothing to really tempt me. I also become a little overwhelmed by all the new products she releases. I'll usually buy a few samples of different things when I'm placing an order. I don't really understand why QVC would make a business arrangement with her and then never have her on. QVC pricing is the same as Paula's website.

My skin is in good shape and I give her line credit. Last night my mom, sister, and I went to Costco. We were checking out and the cashier asked if my sister and I were sisters. I said, yes. She goes, who's older? I said, I was older and she asked by how much. I said, 6. She said, 6 minutes? I said no, 6 years. Hahaha. I'm 40 and my sister is 34. I really do enjoy my Paula's Choice products.

@Love2Laugh Thanks for the serum recommendation. I want to love Paula's serums, but I really don't like the slip of the -cones on my skin. I much prefer a more water-based serum like Philosophy's WHINE serum. I probably have a sample of the the serum you were talking about, so I'll give it a whirl. Nice to see your name here, btw. You had the famous retinol percentages list back in the day, if I remember correctly. This board moved so fast back then, with an incredible amount of advanced skincare knowledge. I miss those days. I learned a lot from all the posters here.

@Sunshine Kate

And that's the funny part. I've been shopping from her site for years and I never get an email! Maybe you're getting mine, too.

@just bee I use the Skin Recovery cleanser. I've used it for many years and love it. The last time I ordered it I noticed it was thicker than the last bottle. It's been a while since I ordered, though, so this was a little while ago that I got my new bottle.

Oh, thank goodness! I thought I was losing it. It IS thicker!

I actually like the change.

@just bee I really like the thicker cleanser, too. I should have mentioned that in my post. I like it much better.

@NickNack

The previous formula was thick, but I'd still lose a lot of it between my fingers. Not this formula. It's slower coming out of the bottle and it stays on my face until I rinse it off. Feels a tad more... rich, maybe? It seems to smell slightly different, too.
