Been using the Paulas Choice 2% BHA Liquid and i love it! Cleared up my acne and help unclogging my pores. Experience some purging but gone down in 2 weeks. Remarkable product!
I have been using PC for almost 8 years, and it has truly transformed my skin. My skin looks and feels better than it was when I was 20. I am very pleased that you finally talk about them :)
İ love Paula's choice products, for about 5 years already, their exfoliants literally changed my skin. I was wondering why nobody pronore them as well on RU-vid so far..... They need to be represented worldwide
@@Anna-dd4wy hello. I would stop using those for sure, if you're positive it's them that are breaking you out. I've been using the Ordinary 0.5% retinol in squalane since October and between late December and now, I've been getting zits on my chin. Almost one every four days or so. I think it's the squalane. I stopped using it last night, and I'll keep an eye on the area for the next few weeks to see if that product really was the culprit. Have you gone to an aesthetician or dermatologist? That's my next step.
Thank goodness for you! You have no idea how helpful this video is, thanks for all the time, effort, and dedication you put in all these videos. YOU ARE THE BEST!
I totally tried this brand after seeing your nighttime routine. I bought travel sizes and absolutely love the omega moisturizer. I’ve already bought the full size of that, the resist cleanser and the 9% spot treatment. I’ve just finished my routine from recommendations here. Thank you so much. I’ve wasted so much money on trying other stuff and this brand really works.
OMG, yes!! A full Paula’s Choice brand review, this is amazing. 🙌🏻🤩 My favourite go to brand, been using their products for years & even though I like to try new things from other companies, I always find myself going back to PC. It truly has given me the best skin of my life. ❤️❤️❤️ I really enjoyed your thoughts on the brand, thanks! 😊
Another incredible video! I am obsessed with your videos and always find myself not wanting them to end. Your reviews are so thorough and on point and your personality is just awesome! You described my exact experience and reaction to Paula's choice 2% BHA liquid exfoliant. I recently ordered the Paula's choice ceramide enriched firming eye cream that you suggested in one of your videos and they sent me a sample of the 2% BHA and when I used it I was just in shock. I have extremely sensitive skin, acne prone, rosacea and this has to be one of the best products I've ever used in my life. It has done wonders for my problematic skin and I could not be any happier with it it is amazing! I cannot thank you enough for such a thorough helpful video I definitely think it helps Paula's choice customers to be able to more easily order products and figure out what we want because it can be complicated when there's so many products out there. I am such a huge fan of yours I don't have enough good things to say about you thank you so much!
Wouldn't my preference be the product I'm praising? I like to give my choice in options for different skin conditions. But there is definitely choosing involved otherwise this video would've been a 10 part series.
@@pureffm she already explained to you directly that she picks a number of top choices since different people have different skin concerns. it’s not one size fits all. and yes it does involve listening to figure out which one applies to YOU and your skin.
The daily hydrating fluid with spa has to be the best I've gotten my hands on so far! It blurs the look of my pores too. It's great for no makeup beach days too. I. In LOVE.
LOVE Paula’s Choice so glad someone is finally talking about it on RU-vid!! This skincare has changed my life all products are so incredible and actually work!!
I love Paula's Choice! 😍 Such amazing products and I like the fact that they treat every skin (line) as a sensitive one. Pure goodness! When in doubt I always reach for Paula's Choice.
Immediately subscribed. I think this is one of the few videos that I am HAPPY you are sponsored by the brand, you deserve it. Wow! My jaw literally dropped when you mentioned that lotion helps with KP haha. I haven't found anything that's helped. Definitely trying it out.
I love PC - been using it for over a decade now and my acne prone oily skin is looking lovely! My favorite products: Oil Cleanser, Clear Cleanser, Clear regular BHA, Calm Moisturizer, Calm SPF moisturizer, Vitamin C booster Can't wait till I stop nursing my toddler so I can add the Retinol Booster!!!
I'm a huge fan of Paula's Choice and have been using several products for years. Thanks for featuring this brand. My favorites are the Resist Optimal Hydrating Cleanser, Resist Advanced Replenishing Toner, 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant, Lip Sunscreen, Peptide Booster and 2% BHA Body Treatment. Before I bumped up to Tretinoin 3x a week, I used the Clinical 1% Retinol which is a very nice product.
Hi Renee!!!! Thank you so much for this video. I have been so curious because you have been mentioning PC in your videos and you know I think your word is GOLD! AND YOUR SKIN IS GLOWING!!! It looks amazing! Luvs ya!
I was overwhelmed too when I started browsing Paula's Choice, over a decade ago. They offer sample or travel sizes on most products and have superb customer service if you have issues or want to return stuff. They also give good advice on their products, if you call. I ordered samples originally of a ton of products and whenever I found one I loved I'd order the full size.
I love Paula's choice, anyone remember her beauty bible?! You could look up a say covergirl product and find out if it had ingredients that lived up to its claims! Still have the books too
This is the most informative video ever. Thank you so much Renee! You’ve sold me with your positive reviews on the products and I’m definitely going to pick up some products for my dehydrated skin!! Keep up the amazing videos we really appreciate your feedback on skincare ❤️
FINALLY (!!) I understand what Paula’s Choice is all about. I’ve almost pulled the ‘buy trigger’ numerous times, only to stop because I was confused about what to use when and if I could incorporate with other products. You’ve cleared up everything today. Thank you! And with your discount code I fee ready to try out a couple of the products I feel will work for me. I trust you implicitly and am grateful. If you use/recommend, I feel comfortable. Off I go to spend some $, but now wisely! 💗🌻Ann
Always love your videos, Renee! Your videos are the only one's I'll sit through and listen intently the WHOLE time. You're so informative and knowledgeable... Love it and love you!
I've just now started looking into PC's products. I've been reading her website for years, as well as Beautypedia, and love the ingredient encyclopedia on the PC website. I just thought her products were too expensive...but boy have I been proven wrong. I just got my first shipment of her products in...mostly stuff that was on sale (the PC site is having a huge sale right now), and what I've gotten I just love. And all of the products I bought you mentioned here (2 of the serums you mentioned). I figured, if I want something good from them, I might as well buy a serum, and then they threw in the vitamin C booster you also mentioned here. As you were mentioning moisturizers, I popped over and bought two of the Omega + moisturizers, as they are on sale. I have been looking for just such a moisturizer: one that had cholesterol, fatty acids, and ceramides. For me, that is the foundation of any good moisturizer, and I'm very grateful you pointed that moisturizer out. Thank you! I think I'm finally narrowing down my routine to the best products out there that work for me and my wallet. Thanks again!
Wonderful! So glad you found products that are working for you! I agree, if you're going to try PC, start with the serums/actives, they do those extraordinarly well!
OMG thank you so much! 😍 I looked up the website yesterday for the first time and was so overwelmed by the variety of products! Now watching your video I know that will suit my skin 😊 By the way: Your skin looks amazing! 😚
I’ve been interested in Paula’s Choice for so long, but the range of products is overwhelming to me. I’ve never known where to start or what would work best for me. Thank you so much for this guide, it’s very helpful!!!
Thank you very much for your swift but not rushed pace. I appreciate your thorough explanations. I found your RU-vid channel when I was reading your Biologique Recherche blog. I will definitely keep you on my watch list.
Haha at first I thought: Oh no, I already bought a bunch of their products during their sale this past week, I wish I could have seen this video first. Then I realized I already had looked through your previous videos specifically to find which products you liked from them, so I've already got the products you highly recommended😂
Paula's Choice CLEAR 2% bha anti-redness exfoliating solution regular strength is my only HG product and the only product that helps get rid of my acne over night, nothing comes close not even COSRX
@Kristy Kelly I have the cosrx black power liquid and it does nothing for my skin, for some people it takes awhile to see any results, their acne pads and cleanser are good
saeefa cosrx power liquid works really well on clearing up my fungal acne eventho my skin was still recovering from overexfoliating earlier this year, and since my skin is now much more healthy, now I’m using PC bha. I think both are good products but they just target different skin type
Great video , good information . Always appreciate your knowledge and wisdom . Btw my favorite product is the new Clinical Ceramide eye cream and the Radiance Renewal Mask . Both are magic .
When you said that previously you didn't like BHAs because they seemed to cause irritation I really found myself there. I just have started the 2% BHA about a week ago and so far I can tolerate it twice a week with no issues and hopefully my acne clears up soon. Thank you so much for the overview!
Paula’s Choice is a good brand. I use the Hydralight cleanser, which is a non-foaming gel cleanser and the 2% BHA gel exfoliant. Two underrated but amazing products.
Does the bha 2% exfoliant actually makes ur skin peel like to the point ur peeling skin off ur face because on the bottle it says chemical peel or is it like a toner
Paulas Choice products literally transformed my aging skin. Since using it, I've had so many compliments on my skin. I'll be 50 this year and you wouldn't know it thanks to PC!
Love this video! I just recently purchased some Paula’s Choice products and have become rather obsessed with the brand. I’m glad to have such a helpful video available as I explore the brand even more.
Love this review!! I tried to find a complete review on Paula’s choice products because they all seemed to be good pick and doing many benefits, but I can hardly find a helpful guide on RU-vid and I can’t differentiate which one actually suits me. So this video is really helpful thanks so much, watched the whole thing. I’ve been using Paula choice for a month, I used the calm toner, moisturiser, and the skin perfecting Exfoliants. (I blind picked all of these becoz as I said I don’t know which product suits me) It started out as seemingly nothing special, the effect is just moisturising, but after days, it cleared out my skin for 60% I would say, and I never felt so good!! Gonna invest more in this brand, it is so underrated!
Hiii Renee! ♡ please, make a new video about the best 10 sunscreens! Specially, mixed physical and chemical ones ♡ you are the one I trust the most ♡♡♡
Long time follower here. Caught myself watching your videos almost all day. Some vids I have even watched a couple of times already. Ended up buying Vit C and Niacinamide of Paula’s Choice. Leveling up my skin care routine this year. :)
So,you LOVE all of these products. Do you use most of these each day? How is one to choose which items go best with which others? This is very confusing because of the vast number of slightly differing products. Oh my, I will have to listen to this quite a few times to attempt to sort this out. Your explanations of each product are wonderful. It would be helpful if you listed the products YOU use together and daily.
they have excellent CS reps who seem to be very well trained in every product so i would call n tell them your skin type n concerns n they can suggest...they have never given me bad advice
Joan Polakoff you need to know your skin type and condition and then look at her recommendations. Why do you need to know what she uses daily unless you have the same exact skin type as her? I believe she has a separate video for her typical day and night time routine btw.
@@lec8504 most people follow folks who have the same skin type. I have her skin type and would have appreciated the same information. I actually buy/follow a lot of what she does/suggests. I don't think OP request was out of this world... Renee does have a day and night routine but many of these products are not in it. In fact I believe she only speaks of two and I remember since I wanted to buy the cleanser at her recommendation.
Joan Polakoff - I've been using Paula's Choice products for almost 20 years. First you have to determine your skin type, and then go from there. My skin type is Normal Sensitive (slightly oily t-zone). When I first started using the product line, it was much more basic, so it was easier to choose products. Now, the line is quite extensive, so it can be overwhelming. Take some time to read about the different products, and think about what you'd like to try. That's what I did! One of the first products I tried were the cleansers. I purchased one for normal to oily skin and one for normal to dry skin because I couldn't decide! I found out, by trial, that the cleansers for oily skin were too drying for my skin type because I'm not oily enough! One of my most favourite products is the MOISTURE BOOST CLEANSER. It is the BEST cleanser I have ever used! I don't know what I'd do if it was every discontinued!! I like a cleanser that is gentle and rinses clean leaving no residue, and this one is perfection. I've tried many other cleansers, but NONE compare to this one. Another favourite product is the Hydralight All Mineral sunscreen SPF 30. Paula's Choice has some amazing products. You just have to try some, and see what works for you! Don't be afraid to mix and match from the different lines. Some serums have retinol and some don't. Choose to suit your needs. Consult with customer service if you need help, and if one product doesn't work for you, try a different one. I think I've pretty much tried everything in the product line, suitable for my skin type, and that's how I've found some great products, many of which I continue to re-purchase over and over. From personal experience, I can't say enough good things about Paula's Choice. It's a line definitely worth trying. Good luck!!
Cleansers, toners, moisturizers, sunscreens can be used daily. Actives are individual, some people can use them daily and staggered while others can only tolerate one at a time, once a week. I have videos on how I build my routine. I generally separate my actives for daytime and nightime. Vitamin C and other anti-oxidant serums for day, other exfoliating acids/retinoids at night. These are products I would recommend that I've tried since a decade ago like the 2% bha which isn't currently in my routine because I'm focused on others like retinol. Skincare isn't simple because our skin can be complicated or not if you're lucky! I would start out with whichever product resonates with your needs. Because you dont' need everything at 1 given time.
My Choice products: BHA body moisturiser (great for scabby knees) the vitamin C booster which seems to work wonders for my facial hair area ( yeah we blokes love our skincare as well) . The clear sunscreen SFP 30 is my go to as I'm rather melanin rich. *This brand I found via your reviews and I have not looked back.* Thank you for your clear and informative reviews. Oh and they do ship to the EU!!
I just ordered a load of Paula's Choice skincare products ystrd. I Love PC. Thank you for doing such an informative video on PC. I really enjoyed learning about some of the PC skincare products that I haven't tried yet. Great video! ❤
I first bought 2% BHA 3 years ago and never looked back, I’m on my third bottle. It changed my skin and I will forever keep this in my medicine cabinet. This year I’m trying the C15 super booster to incorporate vitamin c into my skincare. I really want to try everything!
In Australia, the Youth Extending Daily Hydrating Fluid SPF is only an SPF of 15! I know we have very strict SPF regulations here, but that's a big difference. I love so many PC products, they just work! Great summary!
Thank you Renée! I'm a new user of Paula's choice and so far so good! Bought a sun set and the intense repair cream plus the azelaic acid booster. It's really helping after a period of really sensitive skin with lot of redness
Thanks for the review :) I appreciate your videos so much 😍 I’ve been using pc since December. I’m suffering from eczema and desert dry skin, no joke, my skin is like sand. The clinical ceramide moisturizer is my holy grail!
The BHA Liquid Exfoliant saved my skin. It's my HG. My perfect skin decided to freak out on me in my early 20s and it made so depressed that I didn't want to go out. Now, it's almost back to normal. It definitely takes time getting used to. It purged my skin and made it a little worse for months, little whiteheads everywhere. Then, one day my skin just cleared. Chemical exfoliants are not a big part of Korean skincare, so I was so scared of using it at first. But it saved my skin. For the first year, I probably used it every other night. Now, I use it once a week to maintain my skin. Highly, highly recommend for everyone because you never know when your skin will decide to break out one day.
been using paulas choice for years, i love the 2% bha, i use it 2-3 times a week instead of twice a day like most people do and it keeps my skin clear and soft
I truly love Paula's Choice 💛 they have saved my skin. Thank you for this video. Now I love you even more 😍 BTW you look really pretty, love your hair!!
Thank you for this! I love PC products but I honestly get lost in the products sometimes. Especially the Boosters. I woud love if you would do a video about how to use the Boosters - for instance how much, alone or cocktailed with other stuff, etc, even if it includes other brands. LOVE your vids - thanks for what you do. Your channel is informative and lovely.
Hi Renee, thanks for such a detailed and informative video about Paula’s choose! Love it! Btw, is it possible you can make a video talking about how we can use these products into out skin care routine? I wanna try them ALL because you always recommend good products, but not sure how to put them into the daily/weekly skin care routine... thank you 💕
I’ve been using Paula's Choice since the early 2000s. I sometimes try other lines but none of them touch PC. I wish the price point were a hair lower, but hey, you get what you pay for. My favorite product is the Resist Daily Pore Refining 2% BHA. Great for aging skin.
Thanks so much for this great overview - I've been looking to try Paula's Choice for a while but yet to find someone with a similar skin type to myself do an overview. Placing my first order now!
Thanks so much for this! Loving this brand so much. I’ve recently started using the 1% retinol treatment cream three times a week - I’d only ever tried The Ordinary’s one before and I’ve been absolutely fine with the PC one. Very happy especially as my skin can be very sensitive.
Rena Martin The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid Emulsion is like a milky serum. PC one is more like a light cream - slightly tacky but absorbs very quickly into skin. It does have a stronger smell which does dissipate quickly. I have had no irritation from either. I feel results have been faster and more dramatic with PC. PC has significantly higher price point than TO, but so far I feel it’s definitely worth it.
Kirsten Jewitt cool, thanks for your reply! I am using TO Granactive Emulsion right now, three times per week. I have been using it about a month. I am trying to decide whether I want to buy TO 1% Retinol next or the PC one. I also need to figure out the difference between the PC 1% Retinol treatment and the PC 1% Retinol booster.
Thanks for responding! I saw that the booster is more light and serum-like in the video while the Clinical Retinol treatment is more of a Cream. So I gathered that the booster is better for those oily skin while the treatment is better for those with dry skin. Does that sound correct? I just wondered if there were other soothing/better ingredients in the treatment vs. the booster. I have been trying to compare the ingredients lists, but they are quite long and it’s like reading a foreign language. Lol!
Happily used PC for years while living in Shanghai. Later I switch to the Ordinary! Paula snd Brisn teach me a lot about skincare. Hope they ship to Italy because interested in clinical retinol, bha which I’ve loved so much! I could catch your discount! Thanks Renee! ❤️
Call their customer service!! They will give you advice on what to try based on your skin type and needs. Go to the website and read about the different products. Ask questions if you need more information. Don't be afraid to mix and match from the different lines. They have many different cleansers, serums, sunscreens, etc. If you try something, and it doesn't work for you, try something else! That's how I found my favourite cleanser....Moisture Boost! I've been using PC for many years! It's an excellent product line. Try a few products and go from there!
Loved this! I’ve been looking to move into retinol, so I appreciate the advice on the Azelaic acid prior to for sensitive types. I’ve used the Replenishing Toner for years and love it for my dry, dehydrated skin. Great lightweight moisturizer in summer! I started the niacinimide booster two months ago and am amazed at the results with overall tone and my pores. Love this brand!
I was a beta tester for her 4% BHA serum. Try it. You'll love it. Defense and the new berry serum seem so redundant. They don't do anything all of the others don't claim to do?
@@AndreaHa it's so much better than the foam. The foam gave me a bad allergic reaction. Raised, red bumps everywhere. I think it may be because it has burdock root extract in it.
The berry serum is an option for those who want an option using mainly plant ingredients - something that appeals to me because I love my plant ingredients. I think the defense is a bit more unique in that it has the azaleic and bha a good anti-inflammatory combo that isn't in any other product I've seen so far and works really well. I'll give the 4% another go! Didn't feel I needed anything stronger than what the 2% already does for me!
Hi Renee , any thing you recommend from Paula’s choice for post inflammatory hyperpigmentation , I need a cleanser , moisturiser and something to get rid of the dark post inflammatory hyperpigmentation!
