Re: Paula's Choice TSV - AWESOME

@isaboo I have watched the last couple of presentations this morning. Paula said to use it at night. Probably because of the retinol, and because the moisturizer doesn't have SPF. But you can use the BHA in the morning or 2x a day.

Re: Paula's Choice TSV - AWESOME

I use both the BHA 2% (no issues at all with my sensitive skin - and I cannot use AHAs) and the Clinical 1% Retinol.  Am very pleased with both.

 

Did Paula say what the TSV Retinol Serum concentration is?  I'm wondering how it differs from the Clinical one.

Re: Paula's Choice TSV - AWESOME

I should say that I noticed on either the Clinical 1% Retinol or the BHA 2% bottle that it says NOT to use a BHA at the same time as a retinol.

 

I use the BHA in the A.M. and the retinol at night.  Then I started using both together (before I read the back of the package) and my skin started to get irritated.

 

I'm back to my earlier program.

 

FYI.

Here's the link from her website that talks about all of her retinol products with their percentages. Specifically, her Resist Intensive Wrinkle Repair Retinol Serum has 0.1% retinol:

This TSV is a great deal.  However, why would she put 2 bottles of 2% BHA in the same kit?

 

This is ridiculous unless they want you to give the other bottle to a friend.  I've used this for years and it lasts, not something that's used up in a month. 

 

As far as Paula's products, I like most of them and place regular orders.


I also thought that was an unusual choice. But I also know how many times I've said that the 2% BHA is the one skincare product I never want to be without and I know I'm not alone. Maybe that's why? It's weird they're both full size. The last time I ordered the 2% BHA was when QVC did a duo with one full size and one travel size.

Personally I lke the double-up on the BHA.

 

I use that up faster than the retinol.

Re: Paula's Choice TSV - AWESOME

Use it anywhere that needs extra help. Neck, hands, feet, elbows. Any area that has raised bumps. It even works on my razor bumps, back of my arms. I can definitely go through 2 bottles if I use it regularly on other areas.

It is also great on feet to keep them soft and supple and looking great!

Re: Paula's Choice TSV - AWESOME

Would that liquid be the same as the PTR Unwrinkle pads. I would be tempted with this kit but I need to use the pads up first. Or could you use the pads as a toner during the day then use this at night.
