I am so happy Paula’s Choice has sponsored you! You deserve it 💜

[@LabMuffinBeautyScience]

Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰

[@JanitaShowaars]

I’m so jealous lmao

[@jassmindelrio9490]

I actually spoke with Paula the other day and can confirm that you are %100 her favorite KZbinr! She could not stop singing your praises. Thank you for the video :-)

[@Alexellis738]

Her lip and body balm and is a life changer for lips and it lasts forever highly recommended I loved Paula’s choice I still do but the prices increased since she sold the brand :(

[@khalilahd.]

I really love Paula’s choice especially their chemical exfoliate. Thanks for the review! 🙏🏽

[@middlesismonica]

I’ve been a Paula customer from day one. I’ve been a fan since her book “Blue Eyeshadow Should Be Illegal” in the late 80’s. So many great products.

[@kagitsune]

"exfoliating you lungs is probably not a good idea" - I almost spit out my wine! 🤣🍷

[@Flutterbyby]

Paula’s choice has been in my staple skincare routine for more than a decade 😀 I’m grateful as my skin went from being sensitive, irritated and adult acne scarred to nice & smooth (still youthful looking) over time. I followed her advice as knew nothing about skincare back then. My absolute fave - the BHA lotion.

[@mshelle8]

I have been using Paulas Choice for over 20yrs, initially ordering from America. Hardly anyone knew about BHAs in Australia back then. PC is my most trusted skincare brand especially when it comes to exfoliations. Congratulations on your collaboration with PC, its a very fitting partnership.

[@TheEagleslover]

I love Paula’s Choice. I use Perfectly Balanced Foaming Cleanser and it doesn’t strip my oily skin. I love the 20% Niaminicide and also use it at night. I also use the oil free moisturizer and of course the Exfoliate is a staple. I agree that Paula’s Choice was the first product I used as I expanded my skincare routine. Congratulations on the sponsorship. You deserve it and we know you will stay true to the facts.

[@TJ-bn2cn]

I’d like to thank you 🙏 for helping us with knowledge of products and the science behind them. Your way of advising/teaching is perfect, you seem to have the ability to explain things differently so that we don’t feel patronised but also clearly understand. Thank you 😊

[@emmyb7195]

I've been a huge fan of our Queen Paula since 2012. So happy for you getting a sponsored video with PC, you've worked so hard and really deserve it XO ... as for my favourite products, I also can't live without the 2% BHA Liquid, but I also love the Skin Recovery Replenishing Moisturiser for use with tretinoin at night.

[@phatwombat4241]

i love your down to earth, sensible explanations. Ive been using Paula's choice for so many years, even when i had to order from the US before they had Paula's Choice Australia!

Been using Paula’s for 20 years now. She’s who taught me at a young age about the importance of daily sunscreen and research-based skincare. I doubt I’ll ever give up the 2% BHA Liquid!!

[@meremeth]

I'm so glad your channel introduced me to this brand, their clear range and that niacinamide serum have been game changers

[@lil4n9e1]

I also don't like silicone-y products. Mixing it with the exfoliant is a great tip! Thanks!

[@nx1cf9nd5h]

I am so grateful you talked about the difficulty in controlling how much retinol/retinoids you use, I have the exact same problem and am staying away from the big gun retinoids because I cannot be trusted to just do the one pea size no matter how hard I try lol

[@ThatCho]

Their retinol + Bakuchiol product is literally one of my holy grail products. So happy to see this sponsored video!! I really love Paula’s Choice because they seem to have a focus on education for the average consumer. I use their website as a resource so often.

[@amycortez3289]

Can I ask what your skin type is? I keep trying to find a Vitamin A product but my skin is very sensitive.

[@ThatCho]

@@amycortez3289 Hey Amy! I have a dry skin type and this doesn't cause much irritation. You may want to look into PSA's Midnight Courage. It reminds me of the paula's choice retinol but with lower strength. I just got it recently, but I can't exactly recommend it, but I can 100% recommend the Paula's Choice product as I've used it for almost 2 years.

[@mszina22]

My face turned beat red from a combination of skin care products I was using, so I ordered Paula's entire Calm line. I'm enjoying all the products, and my face is calming down and feeling less irritated. The Calm spf 30 is soothing, and works well under my makeup. It is not pasty white or thick, but my skin tone is light.

[@eggsberts]

this is such a great sponsorship im so happy for you 😭😭💕💞💕

[@LabMuffinBeautyScience]

Thank you!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@13CavStella]

I am so happy that you rate that sunscreen. I love it. It works so well on my skin and I go back and forth about whether it is 'enough'... But I do apply liberally and I do reapply during the day.

[@bg9860]

Thank you for this! I was thinking of upgrading from the ordinary to Paula’s Choice but had a bit of choice paralysis with all their products

[@samnicol9388]

I did that a few years ago, in my experience the cleansers and exfoliators are excellent, so gentle and effective. Over time I’ve tried most of Paula’s range but I’ve gone back to the ordinary for things like niacinimide (their serum with tiny bit of their powder), buffet, Hylamide for vit c. I get bumps from dimethicone and Paula’s choice have reformulated many products to add this recently, so not for me. I think best simple range is the mens line, bought them for my partner and used them when I ran out of mine, loved it until they changed the sunscreen formula to include dimethicone

[@juliaangelina1984]

Power Berry Serum! Azelaic Acid Booster! 8% AHA leave-on gel! Spf 50 Youth Extending Hydrating Fluid!

You can start a chat on their website or call and get a free consult. Their associates are knowledgeable and will not pressure you to buy. They also have sales a lot (15% off right now) so sign up for emails.

[@nicolee0072000]

In addition to the products mentioned I really love the Advanced Replenishing Toner and the Anti-ageing Clear Skin Hydrator.

[@jayerscios]

So happy PC sponsored your vid. I've been using PC since its inception when I found her book, Don't Go To The Cosmetics Counter Without Me". I used Clinique before that. I'm now 67, have dry skin, and I use her Moisture Recovery line in the dark red packaging. I agree with your recommendations but obviously don't use the acne products. I have other brand favs but the staples of my skincare are PC. Skin Science rocks!

[@Tmbpdbt]

Love all of these products! The azaleic acid booster always mystified me until I got some inflamed cystic acne, and then it really helped sooth the blemishes and helped them heal.

[@thembimogala9704]

Price wise Paula's choice products are expensive in my country🇿🇦, however that doesn't take away my admiration for the products, everyone has been saying good things about these products. One day when I can afford I will buy them. Thank you Michele for such a brilliant review.

[@stephaniegonzalez1036]

I’m so glad I found this channel. I’m dealing with hormonal acne at 39 due to the fact that I am going through menopause. It’s so frustrating because I feel like nothing I try has been working for me. I have tried the Ordinary brand chemical peel, their Niacinamide, and Hyaluronic acid. I have also been using the Naturium brand ..

I really like the 2% BHA and the azelaic acid booster. I recently picked up the peptide booster, the super antioxidant serum, the lipscreen, and some moisturizers. Looking forward to trying them out!

[@tehloserisyou]

I love the electrolyte moisturizer! I have dehydrated, oily, cystic acne prone skin and work in a restaurant. I can wear it during work and it's one of the only products I don't just sweat off. I feel like it really just absorbs like nothing else. And I only need to use a little bit, so despite the kind of high up front price, it lasts me like 3 months.

[@sonjaforrester9255]

I love so many of their products. I have used the brand forever. Even before they had cosmetics which they no longer have. I still have their blush and eye shadow. And loved her foundation! I now love the lip.and.body balm, body lotions, a couple of toners for dry skin, calm and the moisture boost. Love some face lotions. The calm line is great as well as the whole Resist line. Love Paula which when she sold they kept some.her core beliefs but still a good company!

[@chelsierodriguez1608]

Thanks so much for your videos , I understand so much now about what I have done with different skincare I usually don’t pick up but I had coconut shredded skin after using a retinol on a daily basis ✨

[@aliciaowens741]

I adore Paula’s Choice products!! I have a lot of favs but I really love the Resist line in the dark blue bottles (dry skin).

I love PC products. They are very well made and never irritate my skin

[@liznotslow]

My 2nd favorite product (after the 2% BHA liquid) is the RESIST 5% AHA Daily Lotion. It's so gentle. I only use it like twice a week. But I'm able to use it even though I also use Tret twice a week. And if I don't use the 5% AHA lotion, the surface of my skin is definitely less smooth, even though I use tret.

[@JanitaShowaars]

Your retinol lesson on slowly introducing it reminds me of Paula’s teachings on irrigation even if you can’t see it

[@beckysorensen8256]

Thanks for this video, very helpful! I love the PC super light spf 30. It's the ONLY tinted mineral spf that matches my skin perfectly. Seriously perfectly. It also provides just enough coverage to even out my skin tone and feels lightweight on my combo skin.

[@nikkiwilliams3491]

If you love the results of the 2bha but not the feeling after, try their resist version. It’s pricier and they give you less but the finish is amazing

[@LauraF1981]

My favorite product is the BHA lotion. It can seem obvious but no other products give me the same results. It is one of the products I repurchase the most! Also azelaic acid has a great texture.

[@sarahcarroll8206]

I have half a dozen PC serums that I cycle through (four dropper serums from the Booster line, C15, Niacinamide, Peptide, and Moisture Renewal Oil, as well as Ultra-Light Super Antioxidant Concentrate Serum [that name is too long] and Omega+ Complex Serum in airless pumps). I really like all of them. They feel nice and give the results they say they will. Plus, even when I get over-excited and layer a bunch with toner, essence, moisturizer, sunscreen etc, I have yet to have any of them pill on me.

[@soksannkhem6961]

I have been enjoying her products. My friends think of luxury skin care or popular brands and when I mentioned it to my friends they are like Sephora has it omg lol. I love her omega serum and moisturizer, 2% exfoliate, niacinamide, azelaic acid, and her resist retinol. I cannot wait to try more from Paula. I just picked up the calm serum which is new! Usually I buy it on sale. Stock up 😂

[@emilywatson4583]

I LOVE the PC azelaic acid, it's such a wonderful product for my sensitive, rosacea (mild) skin. I'm currently using up one from The Ordinary, but plan to repurchase the PC version later this year ♥️

[@Lemonz1989]

I love Paula's Choice products. For me, they are the gold standard to which I compare all other skincare products. HOWEVER, I only use a few products regularly, because some of them are very expensive. The BHA and AHA products are always on my shelf, and I use the retinol one when I want to treat myself. :P

[@1renegadegeek]

I've been considering Paula's Choice and I want to say thanks for a really clear, no-hype video that talks about the science behind the products. I'm wondering if that 0.3% Retinol + 2% Bakuchiol Treatment could work for me. I have rosacea and need to be really careful. I've mostly given up on retinol products at this point because I feel stuck having to choose between being red or being wrinkled. LOL. I'll have to look at their line and see if they have something gentle enough that I can protect this 46-year-old skin.

[@discoplate]

I love PC's Calm Redness Relief SPF 30 Mineral Moisturizer for Normal to Dry Skin. No white cast (I have medium-dark southeast asian skin tone) and leaves a dewy glow with or without makeup. I loved it without, but tried with some foundation and WOW! Don't know it the normal to oily version is as good though. I also love the SKIN RECOVERY Enriched Calming Toner because I can see it takes off any metal residue from any jewelry when I swipe my neck with it, -cottonball is green!

[@lawhopes]

Omega+ Complex moisturizer for the evening top off. Very interesting formulation that makes my skin look healthy, hydrated, and calmed down!

[@tanyukheng1828]

[@Alice_Walker]

That 2% BHA liquid is THE GOAT 🐐I've been using it forever and still love it. I also find the 1% retinol with peptides & vitamin C fantastic (I started with once a week thanks to your advice and now use daily) my other daily favourite is the anti aging clear skin hydrator which is a light but hydrating moisturiser with niacinamide and vitamin C.... aaaannd I also often repurchase the 10% AHA body lotion even though it's a bit expensive it's very good on my butt and upper arms that tend to get bumpy. I find the Paula's Choice to be more cost effective than The Ordinary products. The Paula's Choice are larger bottles, well sealed and good to the last drop where I find The Ordinary active acid products while cheaper per bottle are smaller bottles and are gross and need throwing out when I'm only 70 odd % through them.

[@JanitaShowaars]

Pretty much the only brand I use but 90% of their products are great! Hopefully they keep with the research first attitude after being bought out

[@amycortez3289]

I know I'm late to the party, but PC Skin Recovery Daily Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30 is my everything. I can't live without it and I order it in multiples. I have an autoimmune disease and all the comorbidities to go with. That plus my medications give me dry, sensitive, photosensitive skin. PC has been a lifesaver. I've tried some Asian sunscreens, but they dry out my skin and increase irritation. I just accept that with SPF 30 I must reapply often. I feel so lucky to have found it.

[@CHRowan73]

I love Paula’s Choice and have used their products for years and years. Paula Begoun was the only out there years ago talking sense and science about skincare.

[@juliaangelina1984]

Just tried the 25% ascorbic acid and so far it appears to be the only ascorbic acid product I’ve ever used that doesn’t leave me with weird dark patches. No irritation! I love her Power Berry serum in the Earth Sourced line. Anthocyanins are promising antioxidants polyphenols and they are naturally pigmented. So when you see a product touting blueberry or açaí but it’s clear or stark white, you question how much you’re getting. This product is pink! Naturally! From the anthocyanins! And it’s so soothing and instantly brightening. I have rosacea and this was the first PC product I tried because I’m obsessed with berry science and it made the biggest difference. It healed my skin enough that I was finally able to tolerate chemical exfoliants and other actives without a rosacea flush! Also her Resist spf 50 Youth-Extending Fluid is so nice and light, beautiful finish, loaded with antioxidants. Her Moisture Boost cleanser is the best I’ve ever tried. Sadly discontinued. Maybe her favorite KZbinr could convince her, and Unilever, to bring it back?!

Long time Paula’s choice customer. I love the Resist tinted sunscreen.

[@paulachristie7807]

I have been using Paula’s Choice for many years. The product I’ve been using for decades is the Ultra Light Super Antioxidant Serum. I have sensitive skin and light, easily absorbed products work best for me. I used her retinol (the one in the silver twist top container) for years but stopped when I stared using Tretinoin. I really like the Replenishing Body Lotion and always have a tube in my bathroom, great for chapped skin. I have had some fails with PC, anything that says “emollient” in the title seems to cause breakouts for me. Her serums, other than the Ultra Light, never seem to absorb into my skin. That being said, I will continue to purchase my favorites over and over. PC products can be expensive but I always seem to be able to purchase on sale. If you are one of those organized people, PC does a really good sale in December and you could purchase what you need for a year - I’m not that organized but you might be.

I've been loving the brand so much since 2016. I swear by that cleanser! Try it if you havent :)

[@lorainemcgillivray77]

Hi Michelle I do like some of the Paula's choice products and have repurchased them a few times. The calm range really suits my hypersensitive, rosacea and eczema prone skin, but the clinical ultra rich moisturiser is a favourite too. The omega line also works for my skin btw. I always had issues with BHA's until trying the calm 1% BHA - my skin tolerates that a couple of times a week usually. I find 2% is a bit strong for me, but the 1% is the perfect strength and a hard percentage to find tbh. I use 15% prescription azelaic acid and retinaldehyde for my skin - I found tretinoin a bit much (even used very carefully and tolerated well, until the rosacea flares became more frequent). I just can't use vitamin c on my skin - even quite a few of the derivatives cause issues. If I'm going to use an AHA it's the by Wishtrend 5% mandelic acid toner that's my pick for my skin type. Overall I think they have some great products, but the price in the UK is much steeper than in the US (unsure about Australia lol) and it's not a constant buy for me. I tend to mix some of their products into a routine, with some French pharmacy and Korean picks that are more affordable. Best wishes and congrats on the sponsorship.

[@3lla387]

This video is really in the best time , I wanted to buy things from them but I didn't know what :)

[@crinaivanciu6693]

For me the PC retinol 1% was not irritating at all. Instead the BHA exfoliant was irritating and I gave up using it after a while. I guess it's all about what our individual skin can handle.

I like Paula’s choice but it’s no longer a love. The exfoliators and cleansers are great but when the business changed hands formulas I loved changed and newer formulas had silicones that caused bumps for me. For example the 1% retinol changed formula and I get pimples after two days of use ditto for the mens sunscreen for my partner. Also the emails nagging me to buy are crazy, many days it’s 5 times a day. Please tell them once a day is enough otherwise it feels stalky and pestering making less likely to buy.

I have been using Paula's Choice since 2015. Two of my holy grail products are SKIN RECOVERY Super Antioxidant Concentrate Serum with Retinol and MOISTURE BOOST Hydrating Treatment Cream. These (and the 2% BHA liquid) are the products I am constantly reordering year after year. I have dry skin and also have keratosis pilaris on my face, and it was at the recommendation of a Paula's Choice employee to use the BHA on my KP, and it has made all the difference. Prior to this, everything I read said to use an AHA for KP, but it never worked. My skin is so soft and smooth now.

Her Skin Recovery SPF 30 Daily Moisturizing Lotion is my everything. I put it on first thing in the morning, it's so soothing and hydrating.

I prefer their Clear BHA liquid. I find it less greasy then the original 2%.
