I, too, like RESIST 2% BHA. I would also recommend the weekly 10% AHA. I tried daily AHA, but using the weekly 10% works better for me.

In the makeup line, I like her bronzer and MegaLength mascara.

I've slowly switched almost all of my skincare over to Paula's line. I haven't liked the few cleansers I've tried from different lines of hers. I recently ordered a full size bottle of the Resist cleanser when it was on sale because I read some raves about it on this board and I like it. Not enough to make me switch over from CeraVe foaming, but I like it well enough and it's nice to have something else to reach for. I would not repurchase at full price. At a good sale price I could be convinced.

I use her Clear line in the morning, regular strength BHA and benzoyl peroxide lotion. At night I alternate Resist Daily 5% AHA with Resist Barrier Repair with Retinol.

I wanted to order a sample of the new Resist 2% BHA Liquid with my order last week, but there weren't any for sale. Hopefully, I'll be able to try that soon.

I also LOVE her Resist Super Light Wrinkle Defense SPF 30. That's probably my favorite product. It's a tinted moisturizer with SPF and it doesn't give a lot of coverage, but it's enough for me. It becomes slightly matte after application. It's great for my slightly oil skin.

I read numerous raves on this board when it was on sale one time and I dug through my samples and luckily enough I had one and I loved it at first use. I ordered 2 for myself and one for my mother. I see myself using this product for a good long while.

I hope you love everything you purchase. And, if not, send it back. Her customer service is excellent.

I am curious to try some of her things. I am really interested in the Brighten Up teeth whitening stick! Has anyone tried it?

Skin balancing cleanser and toner. BAH 2% liquid.

I'm a dental hygienist and have done dental sales in the past. I've tried a gazillion paint on whitening products (not PC though) and have never had great luck. Saliva seems to just wash the solution away before any "whitening" is done. I would recommend Crest White Strips. I've seen super results, both in a clinical setting and real world.

I've been experimenting with various skincare options all summer then finally ordered 3 sample kits of PC Resist line (the normal to dry one). It really only took one kit to convince me that my skin liked the products without any adverse reaction. I waffled back and forth over "taking the plunge" and ordering a full size kit. I ended up ordering the starter kit (cleanser, daily exfoliater, day & night moisturizer. I added the antioxidant serum. I'm not big on toners so dont feel i need that. I use Alpha Hydrox AHA Souffle (12%) instead of the PC Resist weekly 10% AHA. All has been great so far! I recently ordered a Vitamin C serum (JJ Labs) that I started to incorporate this morning. I didn't order the PC brand only for financial reasons.

I'm currently looking for an eye cream for the beginnings of slight crinklies for my undereye and outside corners. I know Paula feels regular moisturizer is efficient for the eye area, but I tear quite regularly and any regular product washes away.

BTW, don't order the sample kit a few weeks before Carpal Tunnel Syndrome surgery, like I did. I had a h e l l of a time opening the packets.

FYI I am LOVING all the eye products I've gotten from Skinn. Hylighten for my dark circles, Eye Stem Rejen as a treatment, Crease Release for fine lines for daytime, Reorganize eye balm for fine lines at night. And the Energeyes mask is totally not necessary, but it feels awesome in the morning while I drink my coffee and check my iPad and de-puffs.

I've added her Clinical Retinol product to my other products (Phil and Dr. D and Ole H.) and I actually saw an immediate difference, like overnight.

FLsunlover · ‎02-11-2014

I have recently started using PC products too and everything I've gotten so far works great and I can definitely see a difference. I use her AHA & BHA products, Vit C serum, antioxidant serum, skin balancing moisturizer & toner. I also ordered a sample of her new Clinical Retinol, but haven't used it enough yet to see if I like it better than my Alpha Hydrox Retinol ResQue I currently use (and is much less expensive). The only thing I don't use is PC cleansers--I like my CeraVe foaming facial cleanser and it's less expensive than PC cleansers.
