If you've made it all the way down here, thanks for taking the time to read though all my stuff :). In case you are curious, the vast majority of what I show on my channel is purchased by me. Occasionally, I will agree to partner with certain companies who will provide me with their product for consideration. I will ALWAYS mention in the video if a product is provided to me for review. I also make sure that the company I am working with knows that I only share my honest review of their products. If I love it, I will share that. If I hate it, I will share that as well. I will also always tell you why I love or hate a product. Also, I utilize Magiclinks to link my products for you guys. Magiclinks is an affiliate program, which means if you use the link to make a purchase, I will receive a small commission from the sale. I always appreciate you using my links to shop!
Thank you as always for watching and take care!
I love Paula’s Choice, but as an objective observer, I would think the COSRX is probably the better choice for someone who is either trying to save some $$ (it is currently $15.85 on Walmart’s website with either free pickup in store or free delivery if you spend over $35.) Or the COSRX would be the better choice if you are trying to simplify your skincare routine since it already has the niacinamide in it and you don’t need a 2nd product. The Paula’s Choice would probably be better for someone specific on the feel of the product or if you are a Paula’s Choice fan and are already purchasing from them. Personally I am already using the Resist, but I will try the COSRX when I run out of my Paula’s Choice because of the cost savings and to get more niacinamide in my routine. Thanks for another great review and introduction to a new product in COSRX.
Alexa Lou for mature skin, do
you think brands like Paula’s Choice or Clarins will be stronger than K-Beauty? I am turning 48 soon and I am trusting to prevent further loss of firmness as well as aging sport etc.. thank you!!
Valeska Silva I don’t think brand really matters, just the ingredients and how your skin reacts to them. I personally do some research online/TH-cam on what I want a product to accomplish (IE I have some deeper forehead wrinkles, under eye wrinkles, am trying to improve my skin texture and I’m trying to get rid of blackheads.) and then buy a product to try it. I don’t go for the most expensive but try a more middle of the road/budget product first. But I think reviews tell a lot and then you just have to see if you notice a difference. I love watching Melanie (Mr. Kongs Mom) here, but she does like a lot of high end products (but some that are more budget), I also watch HotandFlashy on YT (she’s in her 50’s and I’m 42) and she gives both high end and budget products, she also does a lot on the ingredients and what they do.
Paula's choice leaves an oily residue on my face while Cosrx absorbs easily & doesn't leave any residue. Cosrx is cheaper & a much better product than Paula's Choice.
I prefer the paulas choice resist bha over the paulas choice skin perfecting bha. The resist one actually absorbs into my skin whereas the other one doesn't at all for me
I agree. The resist immediately sinks in.
Your hair looks so pretty Melanie! I like the way you have it styled. This was a really great comparison. I think I would like that PC one since it dries faster. I start itching if things don't dry quickly on my skin. lol. This was terrific! xoxox, Melissa
Thank you so much!
This is a wonderful option! Keeps the pores super clean :)
I’ve been using the PC bha for more than a decade! It made such a difference in my skin and is the workhorse of my skincare routine... I’d normally be very nervous to drop it for the cosrx version. After seeing your video on the cosrx snail mucin, I did pick it up and have been pleased with it. Only you could even get me to possibly consider trying the cosrx bha... I might pick it up and try it out. Great video!!!!
I use the snail mucin with my Nuface! It works great, isn’t as sticky and I feel better about leaving it on my skin. I have the daily exfoliant BHA from PC and love it. I’ve tried the Whitehead Power Liquid from CosRx which is pretty strong. Thanks for reviewing the blackhead liquid! I found you through Penny’s channel and I’m happy to be here 🙂
Thank you so much for coming over here! I really appreciate you watching :)
I love all Paula’s choice products I have purchased so far. The Resist is incredible. Thanks for reviewing both products. I wish I brought PC spf with me on this trip.
I use the original PC BHA liquid and like the moisturizer built into it, but will try the Resist BHA next time I order. I also apply it with my hands to make sure I'm getting a good amount onto my skin.
I do prefer the PC, but I like the gel so I don’t need a cotton pad and no mess. The CosRX is a sleeper product in that you don’t think it’s doing anything and then you’re like oh wow my skin looks goood.
:)
Same! I use the gel. Like it so much more and I don’t waste as much as I seemed to with the liquid.
Paula's choice for the win. A little goes a long way and you must give it about 15-30 mins to really sink into the skin.
Yes! The video I was waiting for. Thank you, thank you🐾🐈🐶💕
Hope it was helpful. Thanks for taking the time to watch!
Paula’s Choice BHA 2% really helped my skin in a big way. It kept my acne at bay and my complexion more even given that I have chronic skin conditions i.e. seborrheic dermatitis and mild rosacea. My only complaint though is it’s drying effect on the skin the next morning after applying it . It was bothersome. My skin would look like it was stripped off of moisture despite me using moisturizer after putting it on. I ordered the COSRX one and will give it a shot since I read online that the formula is not as drying as PC’s version.
Hey, can you share your results with cosrx bha?
@@jkdecalcomania1079 cosrx didn't go too well with my skin. I like the PC BHA better and for me it's gentler on sensitive skin. 😊
@@bigcatlove5192 the 2% or the resist one?
@@jkdecalcomania1079 the 2% one. BHA Liquid :)
Loving the hair Do!
Thank you. I am in the usual "the cut is too new for me to love it" stage lol. I will love it in about 3 weeks per usual lol!
I love the Snail Essence!! I’ve been watching your older videos because I knew you loved Paula’s Choice and I am very interested in the products. I bought a trial size of the retinol treatment and BHA liquid Exfoliant. I’ve been using Retin A for a while so the retinol is not a problem. I guess my question is just starting out what products do you think I should start with? I’m really late to the game with Paula’s Choice, but I’ve been taking care of my skin just with other products. I’m 55 so I probably need more products than you!!😳
Thanks Melanie, I will try some of these products if you recommend them because I know you would not mislead us 🌸
I’ve used the Paulas Choice BHA gel (have used the gel over the liquid for about 5 years) so this CosRX one seems more in line with that one. I may try it since I can also use my Ulta points I’ve accumulated (over 7000!!!). I already use the snail mucin and really like it.
DebiDan, oh right now Ulta has a 20percent off coupon too. Great time to use those points!
I haven't tried either product but I'm definitely going to take a look. Thanks Melanie!
Great info. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I have the snail mucin on my next Ulta list. I also plan to add both BHA and niacinaminde to my skin routine.
Your hair looks much nicer in shorter style
New subscriber here ❤️I have tried numerous skincare brands, I am going to be 48 years old soon and since subscribing to your channel I have been thinking about switching to K-Beauty (Cosrx, Isntree, Hada Labo...) Do you think K-Beauty is for mature skin (firmness, aging spots etc) or will it be too “weak”? Thank you 🙏 I am in between Paula’s Choice, Clarins or K-Beauty.
I think you could certainly try a few things in with your regular routine from some K Beauty Brands. I find them to be pretty effective myself. PC is always a go to for me beaucase it changed my skin so much, but I do enjoy testing out new formulas from other brands as well :)
MrKongsMom thank you for your reply? I will definitely try! Blessings! 🙏
Try Missha Time revolution night ampoule
I bought the cosrx bha, using it over a month and i haven't seen noticeable result it just made my skin look worse my raised oil glands looks bigger plus it made my face feels rough 😔😔😔
Sorry to hear that.
I hate it too
Great makeup!!
Wow was wondering about this one!! Thanks. Can you also compare the AHA product?
Sure, I may do that in the future. Trying to finish up some other AHA products first :)
The polish Choice is in a two pack for $36 at the Nordstrom anniversary sale! Now that you got me started on it I must buy backups! Lol!
Leslie Jordan I bought that too but it is the one in the gray bottle, not the blue bottle. I think Melanie is mentioning this is the oilier textured BHA from Paula’s Choice. Bummer. I thought I was buying the Old Faithful formulation.
Yes, I ordered that set from Nordstrom. Such a steal!
Jodyfro Gunderson You’re right the one on sales the one that she doesn’t prefer. Looks like that’s the one I bought wonder if the one she likes is even better?
Can somebody tell me if I can use the cosrx snail mucin at the same time I use the PC BHA. Like put on the snail mucin then layer the PC over it. Or are they to be used separately and independently. I’m confused as to the steps and I really want to try the snail mucin. But scared to stop using PC bc I love it so.
I personally use them both.... I just wait a couple minutes for the BHA to really sink in. The PC BHA is lighter than Snail Mucin so Snail Mucin goes second for me :)
MrKongsMom thank you so much for your response! I can’t wait to try this now.
Beautiful skin
Thank you Kat!
The link to Cosrx sends me to Bath & Body Works.
Sorry about that, not sure why that happened. It's fixed.
Good morning Melanie! Do you think the COSrx is similar to the BHA liquid? I do love the BHA liquid from PC and the Resist 2%, I do have both right now. You're so right I never pay full price and get lots of free stuff from PC.
The original? In the charcoal bottle?
@@MrKongsMom yes, that one.
They are probably pretty similar. It's been a while since I have used that one because I just like the Resist better for the texture. But both have great ingredients if you can get past the slightly oily feel.
Great video! What would be good for acne do you think?
I think either would be a great option. Does BHA normally work best for your breakouts or does Benzoyl Peroxide? Have you also looked into sulphur based products? I have heard good things about it for acne!
@@MrKongsMom thanks! Im not sure I used to have cystic acne. Im trying to make BCA and azealic acid work before i try tretinoin/etc or benzoyl peroxide again since theyre more irritating
What is everything that you use? I am 26 and I want my skin to look like yours!!
LOL, check out my monthly Skincare Routine videos that I upload at the start of each month. I use a lot of exfoliants. Works for my thicker oily skin. Your skin may be different so keep that in mind!
Can I ask how long it took for you to see improvements in the look of your pores while using the PC niacinamide booster? I just finished my first bottle, using it every day, and I don’t notice any difference at all. Is it too soon?
I had that happen too. It took me to about a third of the second bottle to notice a difference
So does BHA =beta hydroxy acids?
Yes, correct.
Do you think the other Paula’s Choice BHA in the gray bottle is worth keeping at 2 bottles for $36? I know that you prefer the other formulation - that is what I thought I was buying. I’m trying to decide whether I should return mine.
If you are ok with the texture you should totally use it. I have it myself, its just that I prefer a more water like formulation personally. Both work the same.
What cleanser do you recommend? Even though my skin is more combo/oily I prefer to use a gentle cleanser that is for dry skin. I feel like a lot of cleansers strip my skin and doesn't leave it moisturizing which I prefer. I don't want my skin to over produce oil when I don't need it lol. I tried something from Paula's Choice a while ago, but I think it was more towards oily skin so I haven't dabbled into any of her other products.
If you are dryer try one of the PC dry skin formulations. They have a couple of nice creamy cleansers that should work perfectly for your skin type. Optimal results cleanser or the Calm Cleanser for normal to dry skin may be perfect for you :)
Brittany JeanTS Cerave Hydrating Cleanser
@@raluca4385 Cerave is not cruelty free. They tested their products on animals in China. Please dont support it🐀🐇🐒🐕
The dog entered
Like the hair!
Thanks! Its now finally starting to grow on me. I usually hate my cut at first lol.
I've always wanted to ask you about the PC tinted SPF you use. Since it's tinted, does it ever collect in your pores, giving a poka dot appearance? I have large pores and I can't wear liquid foundation because of this. I've always just used powder foundation, since I started wearing makeup in jr. high. Recently I tried to wear liquid foundation because it seems like the most passionate part of a make up routine for so many people. But still it just didn't look good.
Nope, not at all. Its not pigmented enough for that. Works like a dream! I will likely never really wear liquid either. It just doesn't work for my oily skin. They always end up melting off my face half way through the day! Super frustrating.
@@MrKongsMom Thank you, I've been wanting to ask you this forever, because it seems like so many people love this spf and I think your skin is the closest to mine that I've seen reviews on.
Mam will you tell krave yaha toner is better or paulas choice aha toner is good???
I have never used anything from Krave. Where is this brand found?
@@MrKongsMom this is korean beauty .......you use paulas choice products will you tell mam what about the aha expholitor ????
Have you tried the PC regular strength bha2% ? It has the same watery texture and I get the same results!
I find the regular one too oily. It does not absorb as quickly for me. The resist is incredible as it just disappears right in.
@@MrKongsMom nope not the regular strength bha, the regular strength anti redness in the clear line- the ingredients are very similar and has the exact watery texture totally non oily ! You should check it out, it's like a cheaper version of the resist
Lulu Puff I love that one too! But it’s not sell in thailand anymore and i don’t know why. you said it’s a cheaper version of resist 2% right? I’ll try this one!!
Hey love...please do reply. Here in my country only Cosrx one is available and as for Paula's Choice bha shipping is not available... so as a dry skinned person should I go for Cosrx one?
It's worth a try. It's a great product.
@@MrKongsMom thanks
And one more please tell me how to clear darkspots i am very worried about it 😔😔😔😔 i ask so many youtubers but i didnot get any answer help me please i will follow it
There are several ingredients you can use for dark spots including products that have hydroquinone (controversial), vitamin C and Alpha Hydroxy or Glycolic acids. They are available via a lot of brands depending on your budget.
Have you tried Ordinary products? ive just got the H Acid serum
I actually don't really care for the Ordinary products. I have tried quite a few and even though they are affordable I don't personally find them that effective. Not the formulation for me :)
I love the Ordinary line. So far the only one that didn't work for me was the hyaluronic acid one, because I live in a very dry climate and it basically worked backwards.
@@bombshell.13 I think it work for me i live in a rainy and at mo hot and sticky, i live in UK I watch skin dermoligists and they say this brand is really good! and don't waste money on higher end products that do the same, its hype they are no better.
@@pam164 I've been using this line since it began and love it. One of my favorites is the aha/bha red mask. It makes my skin feel so soft afterwards. Many people swear by the retinoid emulsion and the hand chemistry in their other line for the neck. When I place an order I'm going to try that. I've yet to place an order on the main site, so I'm waiting til I have enough to get free shipping.
@@bombshell.13 Where do you live? i got free posting and packing so just paid price of product
