Paula's choice 1% bha gel

tried the sample baggie of this. used about 2 weeks plus. dosent help much. and i hated the shininess n stickiness. its super shiny and super sticky! i feel my skin dosent reacts well with gel... everytime i applied any gel onto my skin, flakes appears...(not my skin that is flaking, its the gel coming off in flakes!). dosent like the flaky look and the sticky feeling. wont repurchase.

Paula's choice bha 2% liquid

i tried the gel before i got pregnant (like 5 years ago) but not really a supporter of it as it feels really really sticky and does nothing to my skin. i didnt use this liquid long enough to see results as i got pregnant soon after i started trying out BHA's and was advise not to apply BHA during pregnancy so i stopped after trying this out for 1 week. im presonally in love with the consistency of this liquid on my skin. its like a toner. feels very light and barely there. not sticky at all.

Tried it again recently and it makes my skin feel rough and bumpy. Not for me eventually.. Perhaps my skin just hates bhas... Sob..

Paula's choice one step face cleanser

paula's choice things are reasonably priced in my opinion. a lot cheaper than many counter brands out there and the ingredients looks decent as well. i tried this cleanser in sample size and i like it that my skin feels very squeaky clean after cleansing. it can remove makeup(im using mineral makeup) decently but not waterproof/water resistent sunscreen. i need to wash my skin twice with this cleanser to make sure the sunscreen is being removed. i believe it has slight exfoliating effect as i can see and feel some beads when im using it. however, the squeaky feeling on my skin after using this makes me feel that it might be a little drying if i use it daily. so it might be good to only use it as a means of removing makeup on lazy days. it makes me feel safe that my makeup is being removed nicely before i sleep.

Paula's choice resist super antioxidant concentrate

Tried almost 4 sample baggies over 2 weeks (1 baggie for about 4 days). At first i really like it as its full of antioxidants and vitamins! And it made my skin feel so firm! It didnt break me out as well (i break out very easily when trying new products. Sometimes overnight!) but after 2 weeks of trying, i think its clogging my pores as i feel my skin is very rough.. Not dry and not bumpy but just feel alot of blackheads everywhere (the feeling of touching a nose full of blackheads). Skin looks ok (not bumpy) but i really cant stand that rough feeling so i stopped and immediately the next morning i wake up to my smooth skin all over again! I love the ingredients and the fact that it dosent break me out but... No full size for me i guess

Paula's choice 2% bha gel

Tried samples of it. Bought 2 packs of samples and lasted me about 3 weeks using nightly onto my t zone. I tried to apply onto my whole face but its too sticky and gave me a few pimples the next morning. Im not sure if its purging or what but i seriously cannot handle purging so im limitting the usage to my t zone only. Works well on my t zone and ive bought myself a full size! Made my forehead smooth and bumpless!

Presently using it onto my nose only as im using differin on my whole face except my nose. It is really sticky and leaves a shine so not advisable to use it in the day under makeup in my opinion

Paula's choice 8% alpha hydroxy solution

Love it! Dosent break me out nor dry out my skin and made my skin feels smooth and radiant the next day. Absorb fast and its totally not sticky unlike paula's bhas.. BUT i do prefer the resist weekly treatment with 10% aha. The results is more dramatic and i do not have to use daily like this one.

I was using this on alternate nights after toning and before moisturising before i found their 10% weekly aha from their resist line

Paula's choice resist weekly resurfacing treatment (10% aha)

Ive tried a lot of paula's choice products but most of them dosent agree with my skin (clog my pores). This makes my skin looks so radiant and smooth the next morning. It dosent sting and i leave it overnight. I apply it after cleansing and let it sit for a while before i apply my moisturiser. I only use once a week. I realised the result is more dramatic if i apply a thick layer but it does leave my cheeks feeling taut. If i apply a thin layer, its not as drying but the results are not as obvious as well.

However, i stopped using this too since i started using differin due to my skin's sensitivity but its a good product!

Paula's choice skin recovery mattifying concentrate with retinol

Bought samples of it as im looking for a product that contains retinol yet mattifies. BUT this dosent mattifies for me at all! My t zone shines after less than 30mins and its usually not even really oily! Gave up trying for the long term effect on me as it fails in the main purpose of matifying. Ingredient list looks great though.
