Game changer! This in conjunction with PC 2% BHA gel has changed my skin. I'm 24, suffer from normal great skin in the tzone, but dry skin with acne on the jaw, neck, and temples. I use this only...

I really like Paula's Choice products because they don't use fragrance, don't use alcohol, disclose information such as percentage of AHA and pH of their products. Plus, they will exchange almost...

Believe the hype. It works. I've used most of the AHAs listed as best on PC beautypedia, and this is the absolute best. 8% isn't gentle but not over the top strong either. This does tingle,...

This product WORKS, yes you will feel a slight tingle when you first apply it (it might feel stronger if you've never used a chemical exfoliant). A little goes a long way, I find if I apply a...

This was my first exfoliating product from Paula's Choice and I ended up returning it. The problem was that it kept pilling (a problem I have had with ALL the PC gel exfoliants). I switched to the...

I have been using this for about a week. I previously used Olay's Night Resurfacing Elixir. I find this product to be significantly stronger, though I don't know how much since Olay doesn't...

I HAD THE SAMPLE AND PLAN TO TRY IT AGAIN. This will work at exfoliating the outer layer of your skin. The texture feels weird but in a way that might actually appeal to most skin types like : dry...

The first few times I used this, it stung for about 5 minutes. Not unbearable, but definitely not pleasant. I'd read so many reviews that said this stuff was awesome though, so I figured I'd give...

I love this product! The results are amazing, my skin is brighter and clear from blemishes, I look dewy and more youthful. The product goes on silky smooth and not sticky and dries quite fast. It...

I would consider this gel AHA exfoliant formula to be my HG. It's amazing and results are noticeable the next day. It's formulated so that you can use it daily, but I use it maybe once or twice...

This is hands down my favorite product from Paula's Choice. This does everything that Paula's weekly 10% AHA Resist treatment CLAIMS to do (but fails at), and then some. This is probably because...

I LOVE this product. I can't say enough. I discovered it from the recommendation of a youtube makeup expert that I follow... and I have very dry skin and had recently hear that exfoliation "scrubs"...

Holy grail. I've tried other AHA treatments and this one is amazing! It doesn't sting (I'm looking at you Alpha Hydrox Swipes), it leaves skin very smooth after just a few treatments, lasts a long...

I gave this product three lippies because although I think it's improved my skin quite a bit, I don't love the formula. I find it incredibly sticky. The stickiness does not go away and sometimes...

I like this treatment a lot - I had several samples and used it once or twice a week in the evenings (more often than that would have probably been a bit much for my rosacea skin). I like the...
