I have had acne since I was 15. I have tried doxycycline, naturopaths, accutane and countless other skin care brands since then. Some of it worked, some if it didn't, but the common theme was acne would return once I stopped taking the drugs or supplements. Only drugs seemed to work on my acne, no skin brand I tried worked. I wanted a drug free solution and I found Paula's Choice. I had to build up the courage to use the Regular Strength Kit as I was hesitant with all the acids etc but once I did I was sold and I transitioned to the Extra Strength Kit once my skin could handle it. I wasted months sitting on the fence not buying the kit, don't be like me, buy it, stick with it and enjoy your new found confidence (for me it was 6 years of no self-confidence).

I am sitting in bed with COVID and decided Paula's Choice deserved a 5 star review. The short hair photos are from 2021 and the long hair 2022 (I have a couple blemishes in the current photos because I'm run down... this is as bad as it gets now). I hope this helps anyone who was like me on the fence :)

I'm 32 years old and have sensitive, blemish prone skin which flares up around my time of the month or when I'm stressed ( so basically all the time). I have tried everything to clear the stubborn/recurring hormonal breakouts particularly around my jaw and chin but nothing seemed to work over a long consistent period until I took the leap of faith and bought PC's extra strength. I am not kidding when I tell you that it cleared my skin in 4 days!!!! I'm talking no new breakouts, reduced pores and the breakouts around my jaw/chin were practically gone (some dryness in that area which was totally manageable with a hydrating balm/cream).

I use all 3 products twice daily (only small amounts of the exfoliant and treatment in the AM), ensuring I apply SPF if I am leaving the house. I rarely ever post reviews but couldn't gate-keep this knowing the struggle!! I highly recommend this kit, it honestly changed my life.

Long term acne sufferer who has tried every product and medication under the sun. My skin had a lot of leftover scarring and inflammation from teen acne that just wouldn't budge. With very acne-prone skin I am not one to try new products in fear of an acne flare up. Some acne had returned to my chin area so I bought this set in an attempt to clear it up. Admittedly, I was quite hesitant because I have tried many other well-known brands claiming to clear acne and redness which failed. After persistent use alongside some other PC products, this set has changed my adult skin completely. If you are hesitant to try, please do! The sale price is totally worth it for actual visible results.

I have very oily skin and every moisturizer I have used in the past has either irritated my skin or made my skin extra greasy looking. I was using moisturizers by Clinique and Tatcha and although they were good, after after a few hours my skin looked either caked in grease or just plain dull. It just never has the optimal glow after a few hours.This Paula Choicee one however gives me the most optimal glow and keeps it that way for the entire time! Hours later the glow looks the same. I use it after my routine and it looks so good! I tried out the travel size (which I recommend to make sure it plays well with your skin) but Im definitely getting the full bottle!
To find myself in my 50's and for the first time to be experiencing severe cystic acne as a result of menopausal hormonal changes ,was devastating. Friends had always commented on my beautiful skin. I tried many, many products until I came upon a Dermatologists recommend for Paula's Choice superb range. My skin dramatically improved with the suggested regime that the website suggested. I rarely need to exfoliate daily with the Skin perfecting 2%BHA liquid exfoliant contains salicylic acid unless I get a mini breakout. However the Clear Pore Normalizing Cleanser I use twice daily. It is gentle but so effective, a foaming cleanser which leaves my skin feeling soft and refreshed. I rarely use a toner but always follow up with Calm repairing Serum with a drop of Boost ... MoreTo find myself in my 50's and for the first time to be experiencing severe cystic acne as a result of menopausal hormonal changes ,was devastating.

I've been using this product for 4 months now. I bought the whole acne line, so I was using all of the products from the acne line together as it is intended. My first thoughts after my first time using this product was that it felt normal, however, it was not moisturizing enough for my face to feel good. My face still felt dry, especially around my nose and mouth area. At the same time, my upper lip literally felt sweaty.. This reaction continued until my 3 month period where my face adapted to it. After 4 months the bottle is almost done ( I only use at night) and my overall experience with this product is that it is OK. I have to add extra in my dry areas to feel some moisture and I don't like that. After 5 mins of applying, my face is back to normal dryness. My ... MoreI've been using this product for 4 months now.

I have to add extra in my dry areas to feel some moisture and I don't like that. After 5 mins of applying, my face is back to normal dryness. My face is not tight or oily which I really like. It is not tacky and I do sleep comfortably with this product on but my face is still dry. The actual application turns me off. I have to rub in the product for a while like a sunscreen lotion and wait for the white cast to melt away. It has little to no smell for me, so i like that. I like the packaging. Now during the 4 months of using it ( I have hormonal acne), I will say I did not break out from using this product. If I'm being honest, I would recommend if you don't mind the greasy oily feeling it leaves before it melts in your skin and if you don't mind the actual applying part. Lastly, for what the product is being sold as an acne friendly product... I agree. What I dislike is the applying and how it makes my face feel after ward. Moisturizer should apply like butter.. and actually moisturize.
I caution any skincare shopper to beware of radical claims of, "This cleared up my skin in days!" or "Never buy this product! Ruined my skin!" Everyone's skin is different, and, in my understanding, there are very, very few ingredients that produce immediate results, and most formulations are not actively comedogenic in this day and age.That being said, this product is fantastic. No, it did not do anything magically, but for a moisturizer for acne-prone skin, I have never used a product like it. I used to swear off "luxury" skincare and only use drugstore products. However, the amount of drugstore moisturizer I used on my skin to get even close to the same benefit is incomparable. The tube may be "smaller," but you use WAY less and get much more out of it.

However, the amount of drugstore moisturizer I used on my skin to get even close to the same benefit is incomparable. The tube may be "smaller," but you use WAY less and get much more out of it. It is the perfect weight for my skin- canceling out both the oily and dry zones- while protecting me from irritation from my prescription retinoid!The product may sting if you put too much on at first! But that might be your skin type not being compatible. If you generally are not super SUPER sensitive (like I was when I FIRST tried it and was using too much), this product should be fine (especially if you give it a few chances and titrate).The ingredient list is also impeccable. If you're worried about how quickly it works, I can at least say it leaves a gorgeous glow after use every time!
I have sensitive, combination skin which is acne prone and have closed comedones. I've notice recently more comedones popping up. My winter skin (dry, flakey patches on cheeks and forehead) was saved by the Omega complex moisturizer. Figured comedones due to moisturizer being too thick for Summer so tried Clear oil free. 1 week in and my T zone seems ok but my cheeks are red and a little warm. This was the only new products I have introduced. Really wanted to live this, but it's just not for me. Thankful that these come in tavel sizes for testing vs. Having to buy full sizes.Hoping I can find the right Summer moisturizer for all over my face.I would not prefer to have 2 differ types.
I use this moisturizer at night. First I wash my face and apply Hyaluronic acid. Then I apply this product all over my face. I have had trouble over the years finding a face moisturizer that doesn't cause a breakout, so I was skeptical. I wouldn't say I'm acne prone but trying new products can tend to clog my pores and cause pimples. I have combination skin but very oily in the T-Zone. I wake up in the morning and my face just has a slight sheen to it so I know this is just the right amount of moisturizer. It does not feel heavy at all nor is it scented or greasy. It is absolutely perfect for a face moisturizer and I will be purchasing again. I wish it came in a bigger bottle as I didn't see one other than the size. Side note, I do use a separate undereye moisturizer.
I never - and I mean never - leave reviews on products. No matter how good they may be, I just never get around to it. But I purchased this kit and began using it as soon as it arrived. I cleansed, used my own moisturiser then the other two products in this kit, and then finally added some rosehip oil on top. My skin went from really bad acne (not super super severe but was still seriously affecting my self-confidence) and no products making any difference to almost completely clear and scar-free skin in like 8 weeks. I also have very sensitive skin naturally, hence the moisturiser and oils, so as I expected I did experience very minor irritation a couple of times, but applying a moisturiser base seemed to help a lot.
