Hi! Paula's Choice recently discontinued the Calm moisturizer (October 2022), and replaced it with a new moisturizer "Calm Rescue & Repair weightless moisturizer." I do not recommend the new product, as I have tried it out and it is very clumpy and difficult to spread. It does not leave the skin filling moisturized, and is rather drying.
What about the new Rescue and Repair Intensive Moisturizer (that I just bought but haven't used yet)? I've been using the Calm line for quite a while, and I'm trying to "recalculate" with these changes. Ugh!
I am 40 years old man, I had problems with my nose area, lots of tiny black spots, had dark spots on the cheeks; the skin felt rough and uneven. I have bought BHA Exfoliant, vitamin C, Niacinamide products recently. My skin from dull, dark in places and problematic in places, has transformed to bright and glowing. Quite few people at work even noticed and complemented me. I highly recommend it to people who use high street brands and do not see any difference. These products will transform your face.
As someone who had used PC products for a "very long time", think since the company originated, I can sadly say it used to be drug store price comparable. Hence, why it is no longer Holy Grail status for me.
I remember and miss those days. I discovered Paula's Choice back in 2001 back when she owned the company and one of her promises was no product is going to cost more than $30
I bought 10 products and it was 200+ $ it was stuck in customs and i needed to pay alot to get it out..so i didnt pay.what a bummer i really wanted to try their products.although i do use the bha grey bottle..did nothing for me
Completely agree. I used her products back in 1995. They are watered down versions of what they previously produced. I no longer support nor recommend Paula's Choice.
@@FamilyMembersOnly I've been using quite a few Paula's Choice products for almost 20 years (Moisture Boost Cleanser, Resist Super Antioxidant Serum, Resist Intensive Wrinkle Repair Retinol Serum, 10% AHA body moisturizer, sunscreen, and I have not noticed any changes in the quality of the products. The cleanser was the first product I fell in love with, and it's still the same as it was when I first tried it. I would have noticed if it had changed! I, personally, haven't noticed any watering down of products. They've all remained consistent. The prices have definitely gone up, but I have found the quality to still be there. I really think she has some excellent products, which is why I continue to buy after all these years.
I am 53 and had been on the hunt for a skincare line that worked best for my skin. Have been using PC products for 2 years now. Second favorite brand is Mad Hippie.
Me: *thinking about buying a product* Dr Dray: *uploads a video talking about it the next day* I- I swear, you live in my mind rent free, goddess of glow. 😭💚
Discovering Paula’s Choice many years ago was what got me wearing sunscreen diligently everyday! Although I’ve actually never used their products I appreciate their approach to sun protection’s importance.
Wow, the timing couldn't be better! I was just on PC website filling up my cart with products. This line has really turned my skin around and I love that I can customize my routine because they have sooooo many products. I stopped using Creave as much, probably going to replace all of my products with Paula's Choice.
This product line and the education on the website changed my skin in a big way years ago. It also saved me a lot of money when I realized I was buying and trying many products that actually made my acne and redness worse! Now I'm focusing on sunscreen. Thank you, Dr. Dray, for sharing your knowledge with us.
The Paula's Choice 1% retinol is excellent. Just be careful when you first try it (put a moisturizer on first) because it is powerful, especially if you have sensitive skin. Go easy until you see how your skin responds. "Slow and steady wins the race."
@@michellekelly2937 completely agree!! I bought the sample size because I read it can be strong and wanted to test it , and before I finished the sample my skin looked so much better !! It is a really good product incorporating vitamin C and peptides, so you are getting a lot of good ingredients.
I’m just watching this, but am so thrilled that you like this product line. I’ve used it for years and it’s really improved the texture and tone of my skin. The triple action BHA is my absolute holy grail exfoliant. 😊 I trust your opinion so thank you for filming this!
Love PC.... the 1% retinol is great too! I agree with the sunscreen choices, as I’ve tried numerous PC sunscreens. I like the vitamin C booster because it sinks in with no issues under makeup, etc. look out for sales during the holidays. That’s when you can get sets for 40% off
The 2% BHA Liquid exfoliant has been a life changer for my adult acne prone skin!! I rarely breakout anymore and if I do it is a lot more manageable!! I HIGHLY recommend it for my fellow adult acne folks
I love the oil cleanser, the 10% niacinamide which is so light and easy to use, the retinol booster and the calm normal to oily spf. I also love the electrolyte moisturizer. I have loved many of her products through the years. Her education and fragrance free products saved my skin when there was nothing else out there like it. Worth every cent in my opinion. I am always guessed to be at least ten years younger than I am, sometimes twenty!
If you find that tinted sunscreens are too dark for you, the Paula's Choice Super Light Wrinkle Defense in this video is not orange-looking and works well on light skin tones. I haven't found a tinted sunscreen I can wear because they're too dark/orange, but this one is fine.
I have had Paula’s Choice shipped to me in Australia for 15+ years. I LOVE the tinted sunscreen, wears perfectly alone or under make-up. The fragrance-free cleansers also great 👍🏻 Thanks for another fabulous video DR Drey 🌟
I have used her products since the beginning of her company. Before watching your videos, her info and books were my main source for skincare information. Because of Paula, I have used SPF every single day (25 years ago!) as well as Retin-A. This was before using sunscreen was a common health habit. I felt like a bit of a freak at the time for being so obsessed with wearing it everyday. It was also almost impossible to find fragrance free products at the time (except for Clinique). Thanks for this great video. I recently switched to the 4% BHA Serum instead of the 2% toner.
I was literally shopping Paulas choice online when I got the notification of a just posted brand new video 😅 looks like Dr Dray can also read minds 🤔🤷🏻♀️😂
I am a loyal fan and user of Paula's Choice. Since she sold her company in 2012 I've seen the prices shoot sky high, but they do give you larger sizes and more product than other brands.
I love their 1% retinol. I no longer need a AHA and BHA as the retinol exfoliates my skin beautifully. I usually put it over their Hydra boost moisturiser. I also love the mineral sunscreen for dry skin.
I adore the Advanced Smoothing Treatment 10% AHA. I am 66 with extremely dry, mature, sun-damaged skin. I have tried many of the PC exfoliants, but this one has really improved the texture of my skin remarkably, without being in the least bit drying. Highly recommend.
I use the Clear line anti-redness version of the liquid BHA and the tinted super light anti wrinkle defense spf. Both are amazing! I used to use the Azelaic acid booster, but now I have prescription Finacea
My favorite is the 10% AHA body lotion. My legs, arms , feet everywhere except my face looks amazing with regular use if this lotion. It’s wonderful!! I use the 8% on my face a couple times a week and it clears away any skin cells that can dull and pill up other products. The samples are so nice so you can try things without buying a large sized. The BHA is also a winner for me no surprise.
BHA is gold. 1st month I didn’t notice a difference . Second month I started to see small changes . I’m 3 months in now and my skin is flawless besides the odd zit that time of month . I had adult acne around the mouth and all over my chin. It is complete cleared up. Give it time :)
@@idahasisi6668 I do yes. I started off morning and night but had to go down to just morning . It’s a bit drying at first but once your skin gets used to it you’ll be fine :) takes a few weeks.
Enjoyed your review. I've been using PC since she started selling it. It has gotten too expensive, so I just continue to use three products and one of them is the tinted sunscreen and I love it for my combination skin.
Love Paula’s choice. I’ve been using it for a decade. I have great skin for being 45 years old. I swear it’s because of Paula’s choice sunscreen included products. 🇨🇦😍🇨🇦
My favourite Paula's Choice sunscreen is the Hydralight Shine-Free All Mineral SPF30. I have Normal to Dry skin, and it is perfect. It doesn't clog pores and never pills. I also love their Moisture Boost Cleanser. It's extremely gentle for sensitive skin, lathers slightly and rinses clean. I've been using both for years and have yet to find something better!
I love the Defense Gel Cleanser, the skin recovery toner, the vit c and niacinamide boosters (I know you aren't so into these kind of products lol but my skin seems to respond well to them), the super light wrinkle defense SPF, and the moisture boost cream. The moisture boost especially is my fav moisturizer to date.
Hi, Dr. Dray. In what order I can layer the following products: Skinperfecting 2% BHA Liquid exfoliant Antioxidant pore purifier 10% azelaic acid booster Niacinamide 20 % Resist barrier repair moisturizer
4:08 Just in case...for your information so it won't be confusing; On Paula's Choice website the caption under this 30ML product is called: Resist Anti Aging 10% AHA Exfoliant On the actual bottle it says: Advanced Smoothing Treatment 10% AHA Exfoliant Blessings, much love, light and positivity from the Netherlands 🙏💚🌷🇳🇱
I love many of the products. Another sunscreen I use is Youth-Extending Daily Hydrating Fluid broad-spectrum SPF 50 w/antioxidants and soothing plant extracts. Minimizes the appearance of pores. Perfect under makeup.
The PC BHA is a game changer for exfoliating, and I mix the PC Niacin Booster drops, along with some Rose Hip Oil into my moisturizer everyday. Then each evening I top it off with the DRMTLGY peptide night cream and the neck cream that you featured a few weeks ago. I enjoy your skin care reviews and recommendations so much!
I loveee that bha 2% its been really helping to minimize my blackheads, it hasn’t really worked for the comedonal acne on my forehead. (Its fine tho ik happy it worked). Have a great day everyone ❤️
You should try the clear line. I had those small under the skin acne on my forehead. You know the kind you can only see when you are out in the sun. It's really helped clear them up.
I just want to say that people need to be CAREFUL with the BHA, specially if you have dry or sensitive skin. I bought it for me boyfriend and have tried it a little bit. I can tolerate it on my nose 1-3 days a week. But if I used this on my entire face it would burn off
Love how informative to videos are! I often refer to your videos before purchasing products. One piece of information I wish was included in your videos is if a product is safe or not in relation to pregnancy and breast feeding. I find it time consuming going through dedicated pregnancy videos for skin care. What I would love to know off the bat with every product you review is if I can use it regardless of being pregnant or if I should avoid! Can you considering adding that tid bit to all of your product reviews? It would be soooo helpful! Keep up the great work!
Products cannot be tested for safety in pregnancy because experiments are not done on pregnant humans. Most information in this arena comes when evidence of danger is overwhelming based on reports after use.
I love Paula's choices...but I will say the cerave SA cream(or lotion) kept me from breaking out on my back all summer, as I do alot of yardwork, etc. They really have some amazing products....just wish the price point was a little less.
I love the Essential Glow SPF. I’ve tried to use other cheaper face sunscreens and I always end up back with PC. I love that it’s a mineral sunscreen with soothing ingredients and no cast. The glow factor even works well to help camouflage my under eye circles.
Do u still put a different moisturizer when applying essential glow? I'm confused, is it a moisturizer or a sunscreen? Can i just put it without applying any other sunscreen after?
@@ThisBeanTofu It’s a moisturizer with sunscreen. It is the only thing I use in the morning. I do not use a separate moisturizer or sunscreen. It is plenty moisturizing on its own, especially if you have normal to dry skin. Hope that helps!
Dr. Dray Omg, after viewing this video I ordered the “Calm Restoring Moisturizer” for dry skin. Some background: I’m 67 with eczema and dermatitis flare ups. Five years ago we retired to a very humid area in Texas. Since then, I’ve struggled with flare ups on my face as well as other parts of my body. I’ve seen at least four dermatologists without much success with finding medication to control the dermatitis. Don’t want to get graphic with detailed description of my dermatitis but it’s bad. To make a long story short, the “Calm” moisturizer did not irritate my skin. I currently have a flare up between my brows but after using it for one day as a day/night cream I noticed that the area had improved. I’m very happy with this moisturizer and have order the “Calm’ kit on Paula’s Choice webpage. I’m hoping everything in the kit agrees with my skin. Thank you for all the information you provide especially when you address those products for those of us dealing with eczema/dermatitis.
Is it bad to wash your face with cleaner all the time ? Wash my face in the am when I wake up (full line up) Go to the gym before work (wash face again because all sweaty) (only cleanser) Take a shower after work (only cleanser) And lastly right before I go to sleep (full line up) *full line up meaning cleaner toner treatment moisturizer
I get a little overwhelmed with so many products , I don’t know what’s right for me but I am looking for brighter skin tone fine lines/wrinkles is a plus✨
This top 10 has been long awaited by many, I'm sure. I've never tried the brand but you make me want to. 😁 Happy Tuesday, Dr Dray and thanks. Hope you have a peaceful evening. 💜
Just got my PC auto ship delivery today! Love the boosters... Hyaluronic Acid, Retinol, Niacinimide & Super C. 💕 PC, IPL & some Dysport have me looking so youthful!
I use the essential glow moisturizer every day. It really does make your skin glow! It’s really nice. Also the 2% BHA Body Spot Exfoliant is really good for slight bumpy skin or body acne. Leaves the skin super soft. Just in case anyone needs and alternative to the acne body spray.
Happy Tuesday Dr Dray and peeps! I am looking forward to this video as I use a lot of her products but now there are just too many. So of course dr. Dray will help sort them out❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have ordered from PC for years now, mostly hits. What I like about her is that she admits that not everything is going to work for everyone. And she backs up her money back guarantee - I’ve never had a problem with her customer service.
If Paula’s choice BHA clogs your pores, you may have issues w “butylene glycol”. I noticed any time I used a product w this in it I had a ton of clogged pores. And no I was not purging, I don’t ever get clogged pores anywhere but my chin once a month so to have a breakout all over my face is not a purge.
I use the Calm line for normal to dry skin; cleanser, spf 30 moisturizer, and regular moisturizer at night. But my absolute favorite is the spf! Leaves such a beautiful dewey finish on my skin.
I'm using the Paula's Choice Clear Ultra Lightweight Daily Hydrating Fluid SPF 30. I did like the one from the Calm series, too, but the Clear one doesn't leave a white cast so I prefer that for summer.
Could you do a video talking about your favorite well-rounded products (meaning products that have multiple beneficial ingredients packed into one - like the PC advanced smoothing treatment you mention here!). I find it's hard to keep a simplified skincare routine while also trying to get as many beneficial ingredients as I can on my face (ceramides, peptides, fatty acids, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, AHAs, BHAs, azelaic acid, amino acids, polyglutamic acid, licorice extract, retinoids, SPF, etc. etc.!), and end up feeling like I need to use a ton of products to get everything. Or maybe talk about which ingredients do essentially the same thing, so no need to seek out both in your routine?
Hi Dr Dray. I love the bha exfoliating liquid, it is amazing. I liked cosrx bha liquid and used it for a while before switching to Paula’s Choice and I am the happiest that I made the change. 😁
We can just turn off our brains and use all PC products. There is pretty much no reason to go outside the brand, except perhaps to get cheaper dupes. I have been ordering her products from Australia for about the past ten years. I recently tried to branch out into other product lines, and learnt the hard way that I need to stick with PC. It really is a no brainer. I used the body sunscreen on my face for a long time, including around the eye area.
Other Paula's Choice I really like are the Daily Replenshing Body Cream. It's reminscent of Cerave's cream, only better. I use it as my facial moisturizer and find it to be a great value since you get a large tube, and it's an even better value when it's on sale. Very effective and has good aesthetics. I also like their Radiance Renewal Mask as a moisturizer. Their 1% retinol treatment is also fantastic. Also their clinical body butter is amazing. Especially on the hands and nails in the cold Canadian winters. I've yet to find anything like it elswhere.

Hi! Paula's Choice recently discontinued the Calm moisturizer (October 2022), and replaced it with a new moisturizer "Calm Rescue & Repair weightless moisturizer." I do not recommend the new product, as I have tried it out and it is very clumpy and difficult to spread. It does not leave the skin filling moisturized, and is rather drying.

Agree. Not happy with some of these Calm line switches. But overall, still love Paula's Choice.
I use the calm moisturizer with mineral spf. Still very good.
There's also a richer Calm moisturizer in the new line. It's actually very nice.

Paula… the original makeup and skincare reviewer. Much respect to her, if you read her books years ago pre social media you know!
I love the top 10 series from brands, thank you Dr Dray
Glad you like them!
Omg I knew we were getting a Top 10 video today. I’d thought it’d be The Inkey List this week, but I bet it’ll probably be next week. Loving these.
Glad you enjoy 😊
I’m a huge fan of the BHA 9 serum! It saved my skin from stubborn milia & has reduced acne scarring tremendously with the Salicylic Acid within it 🙌✨

On Paula's Choice website the caption under this 30ML product is called: Resist Anti Aging 10% AHA Exfoliant
On the actual bottle it says: Advanced Smoothing Treatment 10% AHA Exfoliant
Blessings, much love, light and positivity from the Netherlands 🙏💚🌷🇳🇱
I’ve used paulas choice for several years now. Love it
I love many of the products. Another sunscreen I use is Youth-Extending Daily Hydrating Fluid broad-spectrum SPF 50 w/antioxidants and soothing plant extracts. Minimizes the appearance of pores. Perfect under makeup.
I LOVE Paula’s choice products! Just received an order in the mail today 😝
I hope my fave products are Dr Dray approved 🤞🏼
The PC BHA is a game changer for exfoliating, and I mix the PC Niacin Booster drops, along with some Rose Hip Oil into my moisturizer everyday. Then each evening I top it off with the DRMTLGY peptide night cream and the neck cream that you featured a few weeks ago. I enjoy your skin care reviews and recommendations so much!
I loveee that bha 2% its been really helping to minimize my blackheads, it hasn’t really worked for the comedonal acne on my forehead. (Its fine tho ik happy it worked). Have a great day everyone ❤️
You should try the clear line. I had those small under the skin acne on my forehead. You know the kind you can only see when you are out in the sun. It's really helped clear them up.
Just bought a few of these at Paula's Choice website. Looking forward to trying this brand for the first time.
I just want to say that people need to be CAREFUL with the BHA, specially if you have dry or sensitive skin. I bought it for me boyfriend and have tried it a little bit. I can tolerate it on my nose 1-3 days a week. But if I used this on my entire face it would burn off
What do you think of the 0.3% retinol + bakuchiol treatment?
Yay, so happy you posted this! I'd love for you to review Allies of Skin and Naturium if you need video ideas.
Love how informative to videos are! I often refer to your videos before purchasing products. One piece of information I wish was included in your videos is if a product is safe or not in relation to pregnancy and breast feeding. I find it time consuming going through dedicated pregnancy videos for skin care. What I would love to know off the bat with every product you review is if I can use it regardless of being pregnant or if I should avoid! Can you considering adding that tid bit to all of your product reviews? It would be soooo helpful! Keep up the great work!
Products cannot be tested for safety in pregnancy because experiments are not done on pregnant humans. Most information in this arena comes when evidence of danger is overwhelming based on reports after use.
My favorite product is the bha body cream . It has eliminate my Body Keratosis Pilaris
I just placed a big order the morning, rebuying the BHA 2%, 10% AHA, Azelaic Acid Booster, Wrinkle Defence spf 30%, and 4 other products.
Please do Paula choice retinal products. She has so many and I am confused. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
The eye cream in the grey tube is really good! I also love that BHA. I’m on my third bottle.
Omfg today I thought about buying PCs stuff and now there is a video of my favorite doctor about PC! My eyes and ears have been blessed! 😍
I love Paula's choices...but I will say the cerave SA cream(or lotion) kept me from breaking out on my back all summer, as I do alot of yardwork, etc. They really have some amazing products....just wish the price point was a little less.
I love the Essential Glow SPF. I’ve tried to use other cheaper face sunscreens and I always end up back with PC. I love that it’s a mineral sunscreen with soothing ingredients and no cast. The glow factor even works well to help camouflage my under eye circles.
Do u still put a different moisturizer when applying essential glow? I'm confused, is it a moisturizer or a sunscreen? Can i just put it without applying any other sunscreen after?
@@ThisBeanTofu It’s a moisturizer with sunscreen. It is the only thing I use in the morning. I do not use a separate moisturizer or sunscreen. It is plenty moisturizing on its own, especially if you have normal to dry skin. Hope that helps!
I'm already ordering "sample sizes" I really want to try some of these
Samples are great 👍🏼
their BHA exfoliant is AMAZING. I use it every other day or 3-4x per week.
@@angeloscofield1384 I agree!!
I need the best allergy preventive eye cream please.🙏 mature woman.
Im a straight guy and love paulas choice 😂 i use the 2%bha and the moisturizer (intensive repair cream)
Dr. Dray
Omg, after viewing this video I ordered the “Calm Restoring Moisturizer” for dry skin.
Some background: I’m 67 with eczema and dermatitis flare ups. Five years ago we retired to a very humid area in Texas. Since then, I’ve struggled with flare ups on my face as well as other parts of my body. I’ve seen at least four dermatologists without much success with finding medication to control the dermatitis. Don’t want to get graphic with detailed description of my dermatitis but it’s bad.
To make a long story short, the “Calm” moisturizer did not irritate my skin. I currently have a flare up between my brows but after using it for one day as a day/night cream I noticed that the area had improved. I’m very happy with this moisturizer and have order the “Calm’ kit on Paula’s Choice webpage. I’m hoping everything in the kit agrees with my skin. Thank you for all the information you provide especially when you address those products for those of us dealing with eczema/dermatitis.
Great suggestions, I'm having to really step up my skincare as I will be 43 soon! Man, where did the time go??!!
My favorite now is Bakuchiol. I used to use Retinol one, but I find the one with Bakuchiol gives me better results 👍
Is it bad to wash your face with cleaner all the time ?
Wash my face in the am when I wake up (full line up)
Go to the gym before work (wash face again because all sweaty) (only cleanser)
Take a shower after work (only cleanser)
And lastly right before I go to sleep (full line up)
*full line up meaning cleaner toner treatment moisturizer
I love Paula's choice. I discovered them like a half a year ago and they have transformed my skin!
As a long time PC user, I am happy to see a few of my favs here. Thank you Dr. Dray.
I really liked the face clencer "clear" my acne really got better and the bha 2% exfoliant! My face looks way better
I get a little overwhelmed with so many products , I don’t know what’s right for me but I am looking for brighter skin tone fine lines/wrinkles is a plus✨
Woohoo! Excited for this Top Ten ☺️
Thanks for watching 💙
@@DrDrayzday Thank you for providing high quality content.. You’re amazing! 💕
This top 10 has been long awaited by many, I'm sure. I've never tried the brand but you make me want to. 😁 Happy Tuesday, Dr Dray and thanks. Hope you have a peaceful evening. 💜
I wish Dr Dray could have spanish subtitles so I can show her videos to everyone I know 😅
I wish so too, great video for everyone.
Just got my PC auto ship delivery today! Love the boosters... Hyaluronic Acid, Retinol, Niacinimide & Super C. 💕
PC, IPL & some Dysport have me looking so youthful!
I use the essential glow moisturizer every day. It really does make your skin glow! It’s really nice.
Also the 2% BHA Body Spot Exfoliant is really good for slight bumpy skin or body acne. Leaves the skin super soft. Just in case anyone needs and alternative to the acne body spray.
Happy Tuesday Dr Dray and peeps! I am looking forward to this video as I use a lot of her products but now there are just too many. So of course dr. Dray will help sort them out❤️❤️❤️❤️
Happy Tuesday
Have a fabulous day Reed 😃
PC has been really hit or miss with me. The Azelaic Acid Booster is great, though.
👍🏼👍🏼
I have ordered from PC for years now, mostly hits. What I like about her is that she admits that not everything is going to work for everyone. And she backs up her money back guarantee - I’ve never had a problem with her customer service.
@@littlemom2070 Me either! It's a great brand, I just have trouble with lots of ingredients.
If Paula’s choice BHA clogs your pores, you may have issues w “butylene glycol”. I noticed any time I used a product w this in it I had a ton of clogged pores. And no I was not purging, I don’t ever get clogged pores anywhere but my chin once a month so to have a breakout all over my face is not a purge.
I use the Calm line for normal to dry skin; cleanser, spf 30 moisturizer, and regular moisturizer at night. But my absolute favorite is the spf! Leaves such a beautiful dewey finish on my skin.
I'm using the Paula's Choice Clear Ultra Lightweight Daily Hydrating Fluid SPF 30. I did like the one from the Calm series, too, but the Clear one doesn't leave a white cast so I prefer that for summer.
I have dry, semi sensitive skin and I love the 2% bha liquid exfoliant. I use it once every 2 days and works perfect.
how do you apply it? Thanks
Could you do a video talking about your favorite well-rounded products (meaning products that have multiple beneficial ingredients packed into one - like the PC advanced smoothing treatment you mention here!). I find it's hard to keep a simplified skincare routine while also trying to get as many beneficial ingredients as I can on my face (ceramides, peptides, fatty acids, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, AHAs, BHAs, azelaic acid, amino acids, polyglutamic acid, licorice extract, retinoids, SPF, etc. etc.!), and end up feeling like I need to use a ton of products to get everything. Or maybe talk about which ingredients do essentially the same thing, so no need to seek out both in your routine?
Hi Dr Dray. I love the bha exfoliating liquid, it is amazing. I liked cosrx bha liquid and used it for a while before switching to Paula’s Choice and I am the happiest that I made the change. 😁
My favorite cleanser is from PC !Removes sunscreen and makeup!
Hi! Which cleanser is it? I'm looking for options.
@@adreamgirl08 it is the softening cream cleanser!
@@adreamgirl08 it’s part of their “skin recovery” line
I’ve been avoiding the Paulas choice website 😭 and now here I am adding things to my cart! I’m excited to try some stuff you recommended 💙
We can just turn off our brains and use all PC products. There is pretty much no reason to go outside the brand, except perhaps to get cheaper dupes. I have been ordering her products from Australia for about the past ten years. I recently tried to branch out into other product lines, and learnt the hard way that I need to stick with PC. It really is a no brainer. I used the body sunscreen on my face for a long time, including around the eye area.
Other Paula's Choice I really like are the Daily Replenshing Body Cream. It's reminscent of Cerave's cream, only better. I use it as my facial moisturizer and find it to be a great value since you get a large tube, and it's an even better value when it's on sale. Very effective and has good aesthetics. I also like their Radiance Renewal Mask as a moisturizer. Their 1% retinol treatment is also fantastic. Also their clinical body butter is amazing. Especially on the hands and nails in the cold Canadian winters. I've yet to find anything like it elswhere.
I love paulas choice, thank you for this video ✨ do a video on your favorite k-beauty products or top 10 on some different k-beauty brands 🙏🏼
I love this TH-cam channel so much! 💙
Has anyone else realised a change at the BHA liquid quality or other Products since the last months?
