I love her skincare line & in fact it's all I use unless I am & out & have not reordered. I usually wait until she has cheap shipping to place my order. A lot of people who complain about her products complain about lack of fragrance-Which is something Paula preaches about-There is no need for fragrance in skin care & the packaging- It is bland but who cares about the package what's important is the effectiveness of the product. If you are interested in trying her line I would recommend getting the Skin Balancing Anti-Blemish Set. There is a good return policy if you are not happy with the products. For dry patches I get occasionally on my face the Skin Balancing Mositure Gel is AMAZING & I LOVE IT. I also love her make-up I use the Best Face Forward Foundation spf 15 & Healthy Finish Pressed Powder SPF 15. I have been unhappy with only a handful of products I have tried:
The Sugar Scrub- A great product if you have super dry skin. Too emollient for my skin.
Exfoliating Treatment-Probably the product I dislike the most. Seems like a good idea but it's very messy. Have better luck with a dry toothbrush.
Silk Mist Moist. Body Spray. Feels soooo good on but the vanilla is too strong for me & overpowers my perfume.

A few months ago, I read a review for Paula's Choice 2% beta hydroxy acid lotion. Actually I googled "how to get rid of blackheads" and it lead me to the acne.org website. Anyhow, people on that board with blackheads swore by it. So I ordered. It's been 3 months and I have noticed a huge difference. My blackheads are practically non-existent. It did take a good 6 weeks to see results, so you have to be patient. You may even experience some purging in the beginning. I did, but it wasn't bad at all. It made all the nasty blackheads come to the surface & easier to extract.
I use it only at night & I only put it on the areas where I am prone to black/white heads. Lately I've been putting Clearasil Daily acne control over the Paula's Choice, but only on my nose because that's the greasiest & most problematic area for me. My pores have shrunk considerably. I haven't had to extract anything from my nose area in about 4 weeks.
My chin is coming along surely but slowly. One thing is for sure, I think the stuff works and I feel less self conscious about my skin. I am 30 years old and my skin started to act up around the time I was 27.
Sorry to babble. Let me know if you have any other questions. I even have before & after pictures.
even at my age I still have breakouts in my t-zone...grrrr.
Sucks doesn't it?! Wrinkles AND acne for me.. it is SO WRONG!
