  • A must have for your skincare routine
Style: Regular Strength
This product is amazing and it's a must have for your skincare routine. I use it every day and I love the way it makes my skin feel and look. Definitely worth it!

  • it works and wont break you out
Style: Regular Strength
I was taking this medication and stopped. I noted I started suffering from what looked like heat rash after. I was using this rash cream from the dermatologist to help it but it will still come back. My pores were also big so I decided to give this a try since it was recommended for sensitive skin. So happy I purchased this. Its been about two months and my pores are much smaller and the tiny bumps are no longer there. And since this is pure liquid like water consistency a little goes a long way. I use once a day and still have half a bottle left. Highly recommend ... show more

  • Really does work!
Style: Regular Strength
I was shocked it actually worked. I use the face wash as well and it did good but once I added this my skin hardly ever breaks out now. I take my makeup off with a Beekman milk wash and then use the Paula’s exfoliant and then the Paula face wash. Then I use Beekman RX moisturizer. My face never has zits anymore. It’s amazing! ... show more

  • Great for Comedogenic Congestion
Style: Regular Strength
I'm a 24 year old female who recently developed hormonal acne in the form of an EXTREMELY congested T-zone (white heads/blackheads everywhere), including my cheeks and the sides of my face. I also have huge pores on my nose/cheeks. I've only been using this product for 5 days but it has done more to improve my comedogenic acne than anything, including a topical retina prescribed by my doctor and numerous facials with an esthetician. It essentially got rid of a LOT of the bumps (black/white heads) all over my face and brought to the surface congested material. I still have bumps along my skin but (hopefully) those will soon go away as well. What's left on my skin are VERY stubborn areas (ie along my cheeks) that are probably going to take more than 5 days to disappear. I accidentally bought both the extra strength and regular and have mostly used the regular. I used the extra strength on a couple of stubborn pimples and it was fine and didn't dry me out. Both are also AMAZING for body acne. I used it on my chest, shoulders, and back and it cleared up ALL my body acne in less than 5 days. My experience with congested skin/huge pores is that less is more, but doctors often prescribe retina which is WAY too harsh for comedogenic acne in my opinion. With retina, I was in a constant cycle of eliminating black/whiteheads, dehydrating my skin, getting more clogged pores because my skin is dehydrated, and so on. With this salicylic acid treatment, I DON'T get dehydrated (or, I do, but it is a level of dehydration that is normal and can be solved by using the product every other night/using moisturizer with it). I think part of why I'm not dehydrated on this product is because I use it minimally on my face/more like a spot treatment than a toner. I put some on a cotton ball and dab it on problem areas and dab it very lightly on less problematic areas. If you have comedogenic acne, I would also ABSOLUTELY recommend The Ordinary Niacinamide. In just a couple of days it has shrunk my pores IMMENSELY and reduced redness. It also controls my oil production. ... show more

  • This joint changes the game
Style: Regular Strength
IMPORTANT: I'm 34, male, had very bad oil and acne in my late teens and early twenties. In my late twenties till today, my skin is pretty much fine (especially compared to early years). However, there was always an issue with enlarged/clogged pores, the right amount of moisture, redness, etc. The large pimples were largely a thing of the past, and while I realized that less is more, I still wondered if there were a product that would improve my complexion. I read that salicylic acid was THE thing for pores and redness, but I was like "well i tried it in face washes and exfoliators and it didn't improve things much and made my skin too sensitive". However, I read on some blog that salicylic acid in face washes is largely rubbish, because it is truly and only effective if it stays ON the skin. That blog recommended different products, some of them quite expensive, and listed as a cost effective option....Paula's Choice...this product right here. The bottle lasts a long time. For me, over six months. That makes it very cheap despite what I considered a hefty price tag up front of $25. I use it almost twice a day. And it helps a lot. It helps my skin retain a "after washing and moisturizing" look long after the cleansing has been done. It really helps the overall balance - not getting too oily, not as clogged, and without the harshness of other things I've tried in the past. I use a very gentle face wash (Cetophil, Simple) or even bar soap if I'm out, and a light moisturizer after. I keep everything else non-strict, light, simple. But this product is the one thing I'd say really helps. I couldn't recommend it as an acne cure because I never tried it during those times. I couldn't recommend it as step X of a Y step process, because it isn't my experience. But for those who want to even out their complexion, reduce clogging, and are afraid of harsh things that could make things worse...I encourage you to try this specific product. ... show more
