Paula’s Choice

So I may be shopping the Sephora sale (I'm a BI) and I was wondering if any of you have tried her line, what do you think? I was thinking about getting the skin perfecting liquid exfoliate. Has anyone tried it, is it worth purchasing?

I have liked everything I have tried from Paulas Choice. The AHA BHA is good. I like their eye cream & I love their sunscreens. I think you will be happy with your purchase.

@Jordan2 - I use Paula's Choice Daily Pore-Refining Treament 2% BHA that comes in a blue bottle. Think the BHA that Sephora sells comes in the gray bottle. I have tried the one in the gray bottle but like my current one better. I don't know why but it seems to work better for me. Use one of her moisturizers too.

I've used Paula's Choice for several years and am a serum junkie. I love her serums! Her eye creams and moisturizers are okay, but they have never really wowed me. However, the new C5 Super Boost moisturizer and eye cream are pretty good. I use AHAs; I don't really need BHAs but hers gets very high marks. I hope you find something you like!

I have used Paula's Choice since 1995. I love the BHA, Vitamin C, toner and moisturizers. There are so many choices with your skin type. I like that it is fragrance-free and not in jars. I went to the dermatologist a few months ago and he checked my face. He did not have to burn off any actinic keratosis. He said whatever I am doing, keep it up.

I love PC, it's the only brand I use now. I stick to the basics though and don't fall for all the miracle boosters anymore.

My cleanser is Resist Perfectly Balanced Foaming Cleanser.

In cold months I use the Skin Recovery toner, serum and moisturizer for PM and Calm Redness Relief SPF in AM. In hot months I switch to Clear Anti-Redness Exfoliating Solution, Resist Super Antioxidant serum, Calm Redness Relief SPF for AM and Resist Barrier Repair moisturizer for PM.

My favorite product is the Skin Recovery Toner. ♥ Even hot months I use it every night after cleansing.

If my rosacea flares up and causes breakouts (even though I'm 65 and have dry skin, yes it happens) I buy a travel set of the Clear line - cleanser, anti-redness exfoliating solution and skin clearing treatment. The travel kit always gets it under control before it's used up.

Every other night I use Clinical 1% retinol treatment.

Needless to say I wait for sales. Their reps are good about getting back to you to answer questions, usually the next day.

I'm using the 2 % toner, and the glycolic peel.

Very tiny sizes, and high prices. I'm not very impressed with either product...not seeing much difference, but guess my skin is in good condition. Was hoping the toner helped shrink pores, but it doesn't.

I didn't like the 1% retinol either...I peeled and was always itchy. Likely not going to purchase anymore of her products. Small sizes, over priced, and not much improvement overall.

I really like the Paula's Choice line of products! It's now the majority of my skincare that I use on a daily basis. The BHA liquid has really helped exfoliate my skin and clear up my skin. I use her BHA AHA peel once a week. I've tried other peels but this one actually feels/looks like it works well on my skin. The acne line is great when I get the occassional flareup and I've recommended it to my nieces to help clear up their teenage skin. I've used her spf moisturizer for years and won't try others since I love it! The sales are great plus free shipping!
