Review: I have had a battle with my skin since I was 12. 23 years of my life. I use this once a day before bed. It does sting and burn, however my skin is so much better! Not only is my acne almost gone after 2 weeks, but the texture and pores are smoother, and overall redness is gone! I wish I had before and after. This is incredibly effective, as this was going to my last attempt before going back to the doctor. The price is high, however it is worth the cost and the bottles last. I’d suggest starting with every other day of use once a day; and working your way up. I do the 3 steps, and then use a cooling face mask (like one I keep in the freezer and reuse). Before bed I do Vaseline on my t-zone and nose and across cheeks and that has addressed any dryness I get, which has been minimal. Love this product!
Review: I have stubborn, hormonal acne and this is the ONLY product that clears my skin. I've tried prescription creams and medicines that have not given me the clear, soft skin that this product gives me. It definitely works! I use the extra strength option and beware, you have to build up to it or your skin will become dry and flaky. Each bottle is numbered, making it easy to use but I recommend using a moisturizer as well. It is unscented and light on your skin. The regular bottles are quite big and will last a few months! It may seem pricey, but in my opinion, it's totally worth it!

### ⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by R***D on 16 May 2024*

I bought this trio because I have experience with other Paula products. More specifically the chemical exfoliants and have found them decent products. I am only a couple of days into the skin regime and have yet to notice significant change. I'll update this review periodically as time goe by to see if these products actually work, but less than a week in and not much of a difference. Update!! One week later!!! I posted two pictures, and I think it's clear what picture was the before! It's definitely clearing up my reoccurring blemishes and reducing redness. That being said, this stuff is harsh on fair skin so I have only used the exfoliant and acne treatment every other day. It definitely dries skin out! To combat the excessive drying, I have also used a Korean skin "acne" serum in place of the acne treatment on some days and use a Korean snail mucous face moisturizer. Honestly, I think the Korean products are necessary to keep this regime in check. Paula's products WILL dry you out. They will totally destroy the skin's barrier and it's essential you repair while treating your acne. The Korean products I have been using visibly repair my skin on the spot, correcting hyper pigmentation and redness almost immediately. I'll edit review in another week to see how things are going.
