Review: My favorite BHA for twelve years - I've been an admirer of Paula's since I read, "Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me" in 2004. It was consciousness raising. She was an advocate for those of us who felt burned by beauty industry jargon and hype. My approach to choosing cosmetics was changed entirely and I became a label reader, able to tell on my own what works and what hurts. Her advice and recommendations have served both my skin and bank account well over the years since. Shortly after I discovered her published works I eagerly tested her own skin care line, Paula's Choice. It was really only then after being let down by the trendy ProActiv and even by my dermatologist, that the persistent cheek acne I'd had since I was 15 cleared up - and began to heal! 'Heal' is the key word. In the past it would abate for a little while, but a new round of acne always returned before the scarring faded. This pattern was unbroken until I became a regular user of the 2% BHA gel. I've tried them all - Paula's cleansers, moisturizers, toners, and serums - and this is the one I'm still buying twelve years on. At 31 I don't break out anymore, but I have to be vigilant about blackheads and sebaceous filaments on my now combination skin. Whenever I stray or skimp with an inferior product (mostly Neutrogena) I end up coming back. This stuff is that good and reliable, and I don't think the ingredients have ever been modified. It's the same winning blend of effective BHA, antioxidants and anti-irritants.
Review: After the peeling, your skin is beautiful!! - I have severe hormonal and cystic acne since 2018. This is a new pleasure in my life to deal with in my forties. The acne has caused severe acne scars all up my cheeks, and some on my forehead and chin. I’ve been on prescription meds to help with the acne, and it’s all been really slow to work. In the meantime, I’m trying new stuff to help along the skin renewal process as much as I can. Cons: product will cause SEVERE dryness and peeling. I started using once a day and ended up with skin so dry it hurt when I put on moisturizer. So went to every other day and same problem. I now use once a week and don’t have the dryness. Also, your skin is going to PEEL. Like, really PEEL. I can’t wear makeup when using this product becUse if the severe peeling. Makeup just looks freakish. Pros: after the peeling, your skin is going to to look STRAIGHT UP AMAZING. A new layer of skin is exposed and the dark spots left by the acne scarring is improved. Stay with the product and use it consistently (I’m still at one a week) and you really will love the results. It won’t do anything to prevent the acne itself, but it will help bring about more beautiful, healthy looking, bright skin!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This Gel is Amazing!!!
*by A***A on April 8, 2019*

I love this gel!!! It clears my skin but does not dry it out. Makes my skin look hydrated and smooth. The gel is fantastic. I tried the liquid as well but for me, the gel is much much better. I have never seen anything quite like it before and believe me, I have tried everything under the sun. I love this stuff and will purchase again for sure. The gel works wonders. I use it with the Vitamin C15 Booster and my skin loves the combo. Add to cart :)
