My Holy Grails From Paula’s Choice! | The Budget Derm Approved Products

[@crystalresler5534]

I've used PC for 20 years and my skin looks great for my age of 50! Excellent, well formulated products that actually work 👏

[@jimholesaw6597]

My wife has had acne dark spots and horomonal acne for 10 years. Nothing worked except paulas choice. I ordered a whole kit for her after researching for weeks. Soon i will get a laser treatment for her, but its been life changing finding paulas choice.

[@kimgroslouis5587]

I just discovered this La roche Posay cicaplast baume B5 and OH LORD!!! This thing is a skin saver from irritation, damaged skin barrier and especially for hydration in -40 degree winter. I know you love La Roche-Posay brand but I don't think I've seen you try this product. As a satisfied citizen, I recommend it to you 😊

[@alexiaoks7023]

Thanks to one of your videos from November 2022, I bought products from Paula's Choice and fell in love with RESIST Barrier Repair Moisturizer with Retinol. I also use their C5 eye cream and moisturizer and my skin has improved significantly!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you! 🙏🏼

[@susanmcf1]

My skin saver in winter is Paula's Choice Resist Intensive Repair Cream. Nothing cures winter flakes for me like this cream. I buy it on sale at 20% off. It is better than anything else from other brands I have ever tried.

[@angiepattillo3599]

It is truly wonderful! I love that I'm able to have the small amount of retinol that's in it, on my sensitive Rosacea skin. I've always been afraid to try retinol, but thanks to Paula's Choice, I can!

[@DM-jo6gr]

Love the azeleic acid - really brightens my skin and keeps it clear! I also love the resist retinol serum - goes on so smooth and silky! Wake up with smooth and clear skin

[@julienatoli8561]

Thank you so much Dr Locke for the Paula's Choice reviews .. I have been using PC for at least 10 years .. their prices went up a bit .. not too terribly bad though .. Thank you again for all you do!! I always look forward to your videos, you do a fantastic job. God bless you!! 🌹

[@paulachristie7807]

My favorite Paula’s Choice product is the Ultralight Super Antioxidant Serum. I’ve been using it daily for a very long time and I don’t think I’ve ever paid full price as they have frequent sales.

[@CAEO416]

If you like the 2% Salicylic Acid you can buy their Weightless Body Treatment and use it on the face. It also has 2% Salicylic Acid and it’s 7 ounces. Far more economical and it has a lovely texture. Their Lip & Body Treatment Balm is the most moisturising lip balm I have ever used. You only need a tiny amount so it last forever. I use it every night and wake up with super soft lips.

[@jeanmcginnis9804]

I just started using PC 1% retinol and I’m happy with the results.The one thing I wish I had listened to was use a sunscreen or stay out of the sun that week.I read that it would burn,tingle after putting it on the first time but nothing so I assumed it wasn’t going to work.The next day I went outside for 15 mins and my face was on fire.I had to hold a cold washcloth on it several times before the burning subsided so don’t learn the hard way like me.🤯

[@angiepattillo3599]

It is very interesting that you don't "feel" the PC products working. It's because they're so well formulated to avoid negative reactions.

[@teamginger6359]

Paula's Choice Super Antioxidant Serum is one of my must haves. In the summer I use it as a moisturizer rather than lotion/cream. I mix it with my foundation when I want a serum foundation. It is one product I would not be without as long as it's available! I DO wish they'd put it back in a tube. The tube travels better & I can get every bit of product out of the tube. I buy the retinol version & use that only occasionally because my skin is sensitive. I only recently tried the retinol/bakuchiol cream & absolutely love it! It is good to take advantage of PC sales. On occasion I move away from these products but always end up going back. I love that they are cruelty free & am willing to pay a bit more for that (with the sales, you don't end up spending more, though!). The only thing I find myself looking for elsewhere is a heavy moisturizer when I need one. I feel the heavier moisturizers by PC are either too light or have a waxy feel that I don't prefer. Avene products are great but they are not a cruelty free company which is important to me. Thanks for this informative video, it is very helpful! 💖

[@angiepattillo3599]

Have you tried the Moisture Boost or the Resist Intensive Repair Cream (with retinol)?

[@teamginger6359]

@@angiepattillo3599 I've tried the moisture boost sunscreen which I enjoy during colder months. I've used the super antioxidant serum with retinol occasionally. Recently, I started the Retinal lotion with bakuchiol, and my skin tolerates that much better! It's good to get travel sizes to try the products!

[@Poshlifediaries]

Your videos have helped my skin so much. Your definitely better than my dermatologist, she had no idea how to treat my dry skin.

[@karahancock9284]

I always have Paula’s choice 2% liquid exfoliant and their 1 % retinol in my routine. The exfoliant really clears out the pores on my nose and it’s non irritating on my skin. The retinol has really made a difference on my 52 yr old skin. Your video has made me want to try more from this brand Love your videos. I use the verses body retinol that you mentioned on my neck and chest! It rubs In quickly

[@honestreviewsonly1915]

Your skin looks flawless!

[@paulinezobel7143]

For me, my favorite product is the anti aging eye cream with peptides. It is so thick but doesn’t feel greasy at all. I love it!!! But now I also want to try the new vit c you showed 😊

[@LSantiago65]

Paula's Choice was my holy grail skin care in my 40's. I think their formulas had been changed quite a bit and for me is not what it used to be. Also, the prices had increased a lot.

[@Anti_NWO-WEF]

I love their products and I'm 36 now. What do you think of InkeyList or FaceTheory? Maybe those are skin care products you could switch over to, to try? Those are SUPER AMAZING. FaceTheory is more gentle on the skin and for more vulnerable skin. InkeyList has ingredients like the new formula's of Paula's choice. That's logical though that the products changed over the years. All the newest technology/researches so to say got incorporated in the Paula's Choice products. Think of cruelty free/not tested on animals, vegan (this really wasn't the norm 10 years ago but now it mostly is) the peptides, more natural ingredients etc etc. Paula's Choice would've been long gone if they wouldn't have implied all the new formulas/techniques that are actuallly proven to really work and are also approved by skin care experts. We can't say that about most other brands. All brands are trying to keep up with getting better products/formulas. You were used to the old formulas which were probably way more gentle to the skin and less effective compared to now (as they know so much more about skin care now) even though your skin might still look really great for your age. I seriously don't know how older ladies accomplished keeping their skin so nice for their age. I sometimes see ladies that are 65 and look 10 years younger. You can CLEARLY SEE whom took great consistent care of their skin and whom didn't. I'm 36 now and most people think I'm still 24 but that's also because I've got a fit hourglass body shape. Most the ladies of my age have LOTS of deep wrinkles all over their face and that's shocking to see for me actually! Maybe you could still use the products but start using it once a week then twice a week and building it up as products might be too harsh for you at first to use it every day? Did you stopped using Paula's Choice? Blessings, love, light and lots of positivity from the Netherlands 🙏💚🌷🇳🇱

[@Teresa_ad]

Can we have videos for woman with mature skin or over 50 . Thank you

[@shenycampos8566]

Thank you for this video! I love Paula's choice! I try not to go on that website because it's pricey but I always rebuy the pore reducing toner with niacinamide. I have these weird bumps on my vermilion which I think is from the sun.. and that toner is the only product that gets rid of them.

[@MsACC2011]

You missed the salicylic body spray with licorice extract. Miracle product for backne.

[@wendymac423]

Maren - I love your videos - I appreciate getting the actual facts and science behind products! I live in Canada and we are patiently awaiting the arrival of Paula's Choice! I purchased the BHA for my daughter and myself. Game changer! Happy New Year!💙

[@dpdpd2023]

They sell in Canada!

[@J-ellO]

They do but caution the prices on the website are in American currency. To purchase in Canada you are looking at about a 30% increase on the purchase price. I have been using them for years but it is getting very costly.

[@donnadesisto6225]

I love both vitamin C products. Sturdy pump too! Thanks doc!

[@sandrahenriques8596]

Pulas choice saved my skin and acne !! It’s very expensive but worth it

[@patriciapowell8223]

Can you discuss Eucerin, please?

[@tammyscott9664]

Love the 20% niacinamide and vitamin c lotion. The vitamin c eye cream did not work well for me…seemed a bit irritating. Love your videos…keep ‘em coming!

[@kristinhallal]

Where in your routine do you use the niacinamide? She didn’t cover that and I’d love to know your thoughts.

[@KeishaGirl2004]

Not all Paula’s Choice products are vegan. They do have a list of products that contain animal products on their website, which makes it easier to choose vegan products.

[@juliaangelina1984]

You can also get 4% and 9% BHA over the counter. In fact Paula’s Choice sells it themselves. And I think Clean and Clear Persagel is 10%

[@JoshandJamie]

Love these type of “brand” videos. Would love to hear your thoughts/favorites on Sunday Riley skincare - as well as It Cosmetics, Mario Badescu, Tatcha, Dr. Dense, Tula, Mary Kay, Rodan + Fields, etc… Would also love to know your other beauty favorites - lash and hair? teeth? makeup?

[@kamloopscruiser874]

Thank you, I’m looking at buying some Paula’s Choice this year and replace some of my high end skincare. It’s not available in Sephora 🇨🇦Canada and I have to mail order it which has been my roadblock.

[@Katepwe]

I’m in Canada and have ordered from the website for years with no problems. Watch for sales and stock up.

[@lm5676]

Can you provide a list of products that actually help minimize the appearance of cellulite? Thank you!

[@kathyann7260]

I love Paula’s Choice

[@mariamagnusdottir2749]

❤ Your videos are very informsaive. Thank you for all the work you do to inform us. Can you make a video abot essenses? Some say it is unnecessary. Other say it is underestimated anf very good to give moisture. . Blessings 💗

[@db-gb5xi]

She addresses toner in her video, Answering YOUR Questions about Drugstore Anti-aging Skincare. Dr. Idriss has a nice video on toners/essences.

[@angiepattillo3599]

Do you mean toners? Paula's Choice toners are different from most. They're actually treatments/moisturizers/anti-aging, etc. They prepare your skin for your other product applications.

[@dorothyhughes1061]

Thank you! I've learned so much from you.

[@mariamercado3946]

Thank you for sharing all this information.

[@barbieblue3336]

I use the c eye cream in am & pm. It was a gwp. So easy to use.

[@InimeKai]

I'm a fan of their bha's but just fyi 2% isn't the strongest sal acid you can get over the counter lol the brand also sells 4% and 9% salicylic acid products

[@angiepattillo3599]

The 2% seems to be the most popular.

[@cindyhamm9169]

All the products....what's the best order to use them? Morning and nighttime??

[@mariamagnusdottir2749]

You mentioned Ordinary and talked about that stivkyy feeling. I agrre! Would it be good to mix the actives they have into a moisturiser. ?

[@veraabantao2301]

What is your daily routine using this product? Day and night and when to apply Vitamin C? Thank you.

[@nyameyen.4060]

Thanks much, Dr. Locke. Is it ok to first use the Paula's 15% vitamin C & ferulic acid boosts glow which includes ascorbic acid with the moisturizer and eye cream which have a better form of vitamin C, particularly for skin of color?

[@fefofefe123]

Thank you for this helpful video!!! Keep ip the good work 😊 Can you please help mw with this question, isn’t the 5%Niacinemide safer than 10??

[@JoseMendoza-xs5yl]

I love your videos!

[@cally2895]

I think P.C. also has other beneficial ingredients in the niacinamide serum making it better than ordinary

[@Tidapet5]

How would you use these products I have the liquid exfoliants , the boost, C5 eye cream and the retinol

[@sharonalbanese8084]

Thank you for this. I just bought their rertinol since I have been using skinceuticals but it is so expensive.

[@brendatorres1072]

Can I put the vitamin c moisturizer over the azelaic treatment?

[@18NE]

Hi. Can you make a complete in depth am/pm rosacea routine. Using products from The Ordinary. (For: Male, 30, full beard, caucasian skin). Thanks.

[@dohadoha3261]

Can i use paulas choice moisturizer at age 15

[@gia.la.-.]

Hi! I love that of your topic because, I’m start to try they face cream products too. I still wait for my orders to come. And may I ask if use the C5 Super Boost Moisturizer from Paula’s choice then can I still use the CeraVe DEVELOPED WITH DERMATOLOGISTS Skin Renewing Vitamin© Serum the same time?

[@eztrainer4u]

Hello dahling 👋 could you please do a review of Eminence Organic skin care!! Please 🙏🏼 🙏🏼

[@kerimurphy4240]

Very interesting. I have a quick question. Does drug store brands have the same ingredients as top name brands? Which has better quality?

[@angiepattillo3599]

Paula's Choice has the most well thought out ingredients of any skin care line I know of. Even if others look like they have the same ingredients it can be misleading. The quality of the ingredients, the percentage, and what else is mixed with them can make a huge difference in how well you can tolerate the product, and how well it works.

[@AliceinJapanaland]

Does the Azaelic acid treatment also fade post acne marks? I love Paula's Choice and have used many of these exact products but as they come out with new products, I've started buying way too many and need to figure out how to pick out just the necessities for me

[@angiepattillo3599]

Same here. I'm trying to streamline my collection of PC products.

[@bobbievillalobos633]

My daughter is 8 and has breaks outs around her nose. Would you recommend the toner for her age? I currently have her washing with the Cerave SA wash.

[@christinekellyrose9435]

Can you review the new budget friendly Gold Bond Retinol Body Cream...thanks

[@barbieblue3336]

I think dr dray just did one?

[@J-ellO]

If I were to use these Paula’s choice products presented in this video is that everything needed as a skin routine except for sun screen?.

[@Merry2398]

After using Paul’s choose product on night can we use niacinamide serum ?

[@lenorelopez748]

Great video! Thank you!

[@Raul-ux22]

I really want to try the 2% bus toner but I don’t see it being worth the price when there are other 2% dupes. Is there anything that differentiates it from dupes?

[@ricco6270]

Yes it has a lower PH compared to others and high amounts of penetration enhancers that is why it is on the oilier side. I've tried many more affordable alternatives because of the high price but others don't work as well.

[@mayelarios1299]

I just started c15 today but I only used it in the morning because I like to ease into my products when I first try them because I have sensitive skin . Would you recommend to use this 3 times a week or everyday . . For sensitive skin. . . .? I used to have acne prone skin so I’m scared to over use this. I also use the exfoliate but not everyday cause it tried up my skin so I use it a week every month

[@sherbert85]

Doesn't Paula's Choice BOOST 1% Retinol Booster also contain bakuchiol as well. Which one is better???

[@opaldawn]

I love this product

[@idaliagonzalez7945]

they are the best, but too expensive for me. I do use them from time to time.

[@mickyo7171]

The 2 percent BHA is one of their most affordable and it takes so little. I used a trial for 2 months and it cost me $10.50 on sale.

[@angiepattillo3599]

I get it free pretty often during their sales & promotions. You can most always get 20% off.

[@sandrahind6855]

It says none of this is sponsored, but you used discount links for every product?

[@jadefalke123]

Can I take this products with psoriasis?

[@glory5260]

I’m 55 and need help with brown spots all over my face which is driving me crazy… please help.

[@gellis963]

What product would you suggest for a young lady with pimples on her back?

[@barbieblue3336]

Read post below

[@zsazsak879]

Can the BHA be used for roscacea

[@angiepattillo3599]

I'm using the Calm 1% BHA on my sensitive Rosacea skin and it's fine. Might be good to start slowly with this and work up. I just started using it, so only once per week, then twice per week, etc.

[@angiepattillo3599]

This is slso a Paula's Choice product, by the way.

[@klmjtr]

🙏🏼

[@daisyrosario3438]

Paula's choice are not budget friendly...

[@brians2300]

I mean it's not cheap but I think Paula's Choice gives you a lot for what you're paying. Their super antioxidant serum has every antioxidant you need and it costs the same as most serums with just vitamin c

[@kamloopscruiser874]

Depends on the budget. It’s less expensive than Sephora or department stores skincare.

[@MatMat-qi2rd]

It's a brand that I find too dear...

[@tquirkyt7118]

…depends on what one’s budget may be, of course…

[@MrMark28]

Lol how many videos has she done about products that are actually budged friendly and you choose to come and complain and point out the obvious. Thanks captain obvious!!!

[@ye5331]

why do you wink so much?

[@tiffanykilby7560]

Why does that even matter to you?
