Paula’s Choice Skincare Products Review
everyone’s damn something
you of the products that I did call
video on an open box help from Paula’s
Choice calm and that video I will link
below I purchased several items skincare
from their skincare line to try out and
I did that at the end of May and started
using the products June 10 I will be you
know just kind of going through metal
beauty journal and kind of sharing with
you some thoughts on the products as I
was using them so it has taken me a
while I know I’ve had several of you
asked to share what I think in this line
so far and I apologize it took me so
long I was really making sure I can kind
of see the results of some of these
products because some of them do take a
while before you see some changes in
your skin so um I will just go ahead and
jump on into it first of all when I
first ordered the products and something
I thought was very very helpful was that
it came with these little stickers when
I purchased my skincare I kind of was
picking and choosing between certain
items I didn’t get one from a specific
line and Paula’s Choice like did you
have a resist line that’s anti-aging not
all the products I felt would work with
my oily skin and then also the skin
balancing system so I got some items
from there as well so I kind of was
picking and choosing and at first I was
like well what am I supposed to use
these products what time of day and it
was very helpful because they had this
little pamphlet in here that I’m sure
comes with all orders and it just kind
of goes through what kind of the product
description is and when you should be
using it day and night so then they also
provide the stickers like I said and you
can attach or put those stickers on your
products so like this is my cleanser and
so I put it right here and it step one
day and night so I found that to be very
helpful because I was kind of in between
skin care looking for a new skin care
line I have used the Obagi system for a
year about nine months and then so I was
kind of
limbo not sure what I should go toward
next I kind of felt like my skin was in
a really good spot and I just was kind
of wanting to take a little bit of a
break from the Obagi system so and
that’s kind of the backstory on where I
heard about it and the thing that really
made me decide to try this line out is
that it has a 60-day money-back
guarantees so I thought you know what
I’m just going to go ahead and go for it
and try these products out and see what
I think so without further ado finally I
won’t get into it here
the first item I got is from their skin
balancing line and that’s a cleanser and
so this is for normal oily or
combination skin so this is actually my
favorite cleanser I have ever used it
has made my skin feel so clean it has no
sense just very fresh scent I mean it’s
like a sound like soap but you could
tell it’s a cleanser but it has no
perfumey dyes or anything so I really
like that and the one thing that is the
most exciting to me is that it really
makes my face Belle cleanse but not
tight and a little does go a long way
with this I think that I will have this
cleanser for a long time because it
really loved this up well really sets up
well yeah I just I just think this is a
really excellent cleanser
oh my god was in balancing core using
toner this is also in the same line
that’s good for normal oily or
combination skin this says it’s a
weightless liquid that minimizes pore
size helps prevent types of aging and
eliminates flaky tea hydrated skin I
didn’t have any flaky dehydrated skin
and I was using this so I don’t know if
it eliminated it if that’s why I didn’t
have it or not as far as for many signs
of aging I can’t verify that for sure I
just know that it feels good on the face
and this scent is also non-existent so
it is first under so it is really good I
don’t know necessarily if it’s I don’t
know really if toner is perfectly or
absolutely necessary in skincare routine
I just know I really liked this so just
to be honest so as far as minimizing my
pore size I you know I’m not sure if
it’s the combination of the VHA and the
AJ in this line that has done that or
you know if it’s in the combination with
this toner so I can’t specifically um
guarantee that that’s what it has done
my skin but I really have been like
okay wait exfoliant I do so you have
probably heard tell us about this on
YouTube and everywhere else
BHA and a har exfoliants now I won’t go
I’ll link a couple videos below which
explained each a and H aids very well
that Paula has on her website but
basically PHA is like an exfoliant for
your skin that gets deeper gets down
deeper and clears out your pores better
than you can physically like with the
washcloth or with even with your
Clarisonic and this has been crucial in
my skincare routine like I said I was
using the boccie system and then there
was a period of time where I was just
using a cleanser and I didn’t really
have any other things that were
exfoliating my face and my pores had
become very clogged so this um I think
has done miracles in unclogging my pores
it is it is wonderful so this is the
skin perfecting 2 percent bh8 gel
salicylic acid for all skin types and it
says that it creates radiant even toned
skin reduces redness and builds collagen
uncocks and diminishes enlarged pores so
I can definitely say this has been
working for me I have been loving it now
they do have it this is the gel you do
have a lotion they do have a liquid it
just kind of depends on your skin type
if you’re dry
normal oily like me and then also the
percentage you can get there’s lower
percentage 1% instead of 2% so you kind
of have to talk to them if you’re
interested in doing this what you might
be best for your skin type in your what
you prefer so I know some people
experience irritation appealing and I
experienced none of that
I just noticed my pores getting cleaned
out so that is really been
Clio like spirits
I’m step four be at the moisturizer so
this system oyster eyes are I would use
this from the resist line is the anti
aging clear skin hydrator and this is
supposed to moisturize your skin as well
as fade past acne scarring and red marks
and discoloration on your face now
before I use this I didn’t really have a
whole lot of discovery discoloration or
redness because I had used the OL Bochy
before so I didn’t see any necessarily
reduction however I did have a couple
breakouts and you know as you get older
your skin cells don’t regenerate as much
we have breakout and as that’s healing
it does take a longer process while in
the sign it did the same as when I would
use Obagi it would fade quickly so um
I’m thinking this combined with this
really did help really good help my skin
when I did have those breakouts that
occurred and I do not get them very
often anymore so that’s a good sign that
this also that was another big thing
once I went on the Obagi system I didn’t
I only had acne you rarely occasionally
and the same thing with this so I think
if this has been a really good balance
for my skin so I was kind of afraid that
oh no I would start breaking out again
or something but that did not occur and
then I will say did use this morning and
night in the morning I would just use
one pump and at night I would typically
use one and a half to two pumps just to
give my skin extra hydration while I
slept and really I didn’t this did not
make my oily skin more oily at all
so that is a good thing from
okay the final things that I will share
I resist a weekly resurfacing treatment
and this is the aah a so we did I
already talked about the VHA with
salicylic acid and this really cleans
unclogged your pores
this is the AJ and this is the weekly
resurfacing treatment with 10%
alpha-hydroxy acid so this you use
weekly and I was really scared of this
product to tell you the truth at first
because I was like oh my gosh I was
reading the reviews and some people said
that irritate their skin and I just
didn’t know what to expect and it does
say be very careful because you don’t
want to get it around your eyes and
don’t get it too close to your lips and
stuff so I was very careful the first
time it is not this consistency I was
expecting so when I poured it out into
my hand it is a complete liquid so it is
rather hard to get than a directions say
to well it says to apply a night but it
says to use a dime size amount over the
entire face so it’s kind of hard to
estimate a dime sized amount when you’re
trying to pour it out your hand so that
was one thing that was I wasn’t
expecting I wasn’t expecting it to be a
liquid but once I got past that and kind
of figured out what my skin can handle
and and all that I found it worked
wonderfully now first two times I use
this I didn’t really notice that much of
a difference it does say right here that
does regular use maintains and enhances
results so about the third time I use
this that is when I notice the next
morning my skin was so smooth like in
every week when I use this I use this on
a Friday night
I use this and the next morning I wake
up and it’s so smooth so eighty-eight of
the VHA you don’t really unclog the
pores and gets that out and then the aah
a really smooth the surface of your skin
and so now I can say that although I did
not see it immediately so you might have
be patient with this this has been
consistent with what you know making my
skin smooth and I’ve noticed that my
foundations are going on better and I’m
I’m getting more I don’t know I think
that’s exciting because I’ve never been
a person that wanted to try a whole lot
of different foundations the blushes
that I didn’t want to try blushes
because my skin was bumpy and this I
don’t know I think it’s just really
helped with smoothing out my skin so I’m
really excited about that product okay
so there is one product that I ended up
returning and getting a credit for I
think I just ended up getting a cleanser
instead and then one other item that I
will be reviewing soon but one item that
didn’t I didn’t feel worked super well
for me was the skin balancing super
antioxidant concentrate serum it is for
normal oily or combination skin and I
did go ahead and exchange that so don’t
have it here to show you but I did go
ahead and get a clip of that and at the
time that I purchased it so you can see
that it is got quite a slippery texture
it’s kind of like this clear formula a
little bit of a yellow tint to it it’s
very smooth when it goes on the skin and
it is supposed to be a weightless
combination of potent bioactive
ingredients including retinol that forms
a breathable barrier to protect and
normalize your skin is what it says so
um this was a nightly treatment you were
supposed to use at night and the first
time I used it I noticed that just right
around my mouth right here with skinning
some white bumps those hard white bumps
that aren’t like pimples or zits or
something like that so I thought you
know what I’m gonna I’m not sure if that
caused it because you know I used to be
one where I was like oh my gosh that
Cosme acne I hate it crossed off my list
but now I’ve learned that you know who
knows what could be happening like it
could be my hormones could be something
I need it could be a you know touched my
face and I had bacteria on it so I
wasn’t gonna write it off too soon I did
call polished choice and just
their advice and they said well you know
what why don’t you give it a few weeks
in and try to get so I did wait about
three weeks and I went ahead and used it
I decided not to use it on this spot
where I had gotten some bumps on there
actually still there and so I decided I
was just gonna mount mostly since it
contains retinol I thought well I’ll
just kind of use it up around my eyes
and you know on the other parts of my
face so immediately after I used it
around my eyes I could get two white
bumps right here so I called them up
again and I said well I don’t know she
just keep trying it and they said well
we’d you know we can’t guarantee that
that’s what is causing it obviously they
can’t they can’t say yes it does that to
you but differ beam or act differently
they’re very friendly very helpful in
the end I just decided you know what I’m
thinking I don’t know it was possible
that it maybe was too rich for my skin
I’m not sure so I just decided to go
ahead and exchange it for something else
and so that part is missing from this
routine from my original haul you know
like I said they were very helpful if a
product doesn’t want work for you and
you return it or you call them up and
return it within that 60-day window they
are very friendly and helpful and so you
know that was a positive experience even
though I felt it didn’t quite work for
me so I don’t know if you guys could
share with me if you have used new
products with retinol if that caused
that for you or I don’t know if you’ve
experienced that I would love to hear
from you about that so um so that’s what
I think of all of those products now I
did get a couple questions asking if I
was going to add in some the Obagi
system I am just like a trite no one
cream and the blender if I was going to
add that into my routine and I think at
this point I am very satisfied with the
products that I’ve showed you today I’m
gonna continue using those but I will
add in the treadmill and cream as well
along with the blender just because I
want to try to get rid of those white
marks that I’ve been having and then
also using that as
anti-aging as well because that helps
with your wrinkles so yeah I think that
with the 60-day money-back guarantee
this was a good switch I think it’s I
would recommend it to anybody if you’re
looking for a new skincare line so they
do have acne skincare line I haven’t
looked through everything skin recovery
like for looks like dry very dry and
normal skin so that’s something I’m not
familiar with since I’m so pointy and I
think this was a very positive
experience so I wanted to get back to
and share that with you guys
thank you so much for watching
