The ordinary works fine for me as far as redness.. I noticed a difference in the redness of my skin within a week..... It's been three weeks and the redness is almost gone... I tried a new retinal with a salacilic acid cleanser. That I was using twice a day which was a big no no.... But I think I will pick up the paulas choice for using once a week for exfoliation.
Rosacea type 2 here, the ordinary one didn’t help much but I loved the texture as it instantly mattified my oily skin. I’ve been using Paula’s Choice for a few months now and it works better, skin can tolerate it much better and I see some improvement
I like to feel like I have nothing on my face when I apply products. Would prefer for my face to feel normal-dry then to feel like i have a moisturizer or anything. Would the Ordinary or the Paulas choice one suit me better?
The best one I ve tried so far is by small brand Viviene et Clemence. It is liquid, it transformed my skin in 4 days after a sudden burst of acne after vacation
Is the SA in the Paula's Choice product too much for everyday use? I want to avoid irritation, but still get the benefits of azelaic acid and exfoliation.
It’s a pretty low percentage at 0.5% which is totally fine for daily use. Most exfoliating products that actually “exfoliate” start at 1%. Plus the only people who would not be able to tolerate 0.5% daily would be those with ultra sensitive skin.
