ADULT ACNE FINALLY UNDER CONTROL!!!
Amazing product! The progress with this takes a few months ...but please be patient! At 33 years old I never thought I’d be free from breakouts and scarring from cystic hormonal type acne. Started using once a day on a cotton pad at night. Skin will sting a tad & be slightly flaky to start after a few days. Skin may “purge” spots as pores are unclogged but this will calm down - trust me! Once skin becomes flaky I then reduced to use all over my face every 3 days, but everyday along my jawline and neck. I follow with a light oil free moisturiser. Honestly, I have used around 2 bottles in 8 months and I get minimal spots now, and they heal very quickly. Any inflammation comes up and I pop a dab of this on! Skin also feels so smooth too. This is a real review!!! It could change your life!!

A miracle product for taking down spots and refining the skin!
As someone who is a bit of a skin care addict I highly recommend this product! Especially if you have troublesome acne prone skin like me. I use this every other night in between using Paula’s choice retinol cream. It is also fantastic when you get a spot and need it to be gone ASAP! Just dab some on the affected area (I normally like to drench the area in it) and it will be gone or hugely reduced in a few days. If you can carefully remove any of the whitehead from the spot it will be gone even quicker. This product helps to bring everything out. It also doesn’t aggravate my skin like some anti-spot lotions can. Although I use this especially against spots, it does also help to make the skin smoother and more refined. By using Paula’s choice retinol and the BHA lotion on alternate nights, I’ve noticed an improvement in my over all skin tone. It looks supple, smoother, clearer and dewy.

Saved my beard!
I bought this for a vert particular reason, I'd been suffering from a nasty patch of white spots on my face. Though mostly hidden by my beard they often became very inflamed and sore. I'd tried everything and nothing seemed to work (even a drastic clean shave) then someone suggested this product and it has done the trick. I trimmed it short and applied it as directed. Job done. Not only that but I've used it on the rest of my face (which often got quite red and blotchy) and it seems to have cleared that up too. It is expensive but certainly worth it because it works. I'd like to say I look ten years younger but I think my skim just looks better, and I don't feel like I have the plague under my beard, which is good enough for me.

AMAZING PRODUCT
Absolutely amazing product. Was the missing piece of the puzzle to my skincare routine. I sorted my acne out but still had lots and lots of bumps under the skin and nothing would get rid of them. This stuff completely cleared it and continues to keep my skin clear!! I cant remember the last time I wore make up which is unheard of for me!! Works really fast too. I've been using it morning and night and making sure i keep my skin hydrated. My skin is sensitive but I've had no issues with irritation. Worth all the money I'll be repurchasing !!

Great for dull, acne prone skin
Bought this as my 42 year old skin is both dull, bumpy, and very spotty, and have tried other products such as Pixi Glow Tonic and haven't been wowed by them. Read all the reviews on the Paulas Choice and decided to go for it. Great product - skin feels amazing even after only one application and has made a difference after only a few days usage on getting rid of the tiny bumps I had on my chin, as well as helping clear up larger spots. I would say to use this only once a day if your skin is quite sensitive as I think I was a bit over zealous the first 3 days, and it did dry the skin slightly around the spots, but I do think that was also a combo of using other spot treatments at the same time, and my skin drying out from going out in the cold then coming back into central heating at this time of year. Would def recommend.

Finally a skincare product that works
I have finally found a product that does what it says. Since using it I have noticed a reduction in the number and size of blackheads on my face. As someone who has naturally oily skin this product is a god send. I use my fingers to put it on as part of my morning routine. I don't put it on in the evening as that's when I use retinol. The key to effectiveness with this product is consistency. As with any skincare product, use it alongside a SPF.

Amazing results
Ive suffered with cystic acne through 2 pregnancies and birth control. This product is amazing, within 48 hours the swelling and redness of my breakouts had dramatically reduced, within a week it’s all but gone minus some red marks which are easily concealable. The dry patches surrounding the acne have also gone. I’ve had to resort to prescription steroidal creams in the past which I hated using and was sceptical about the claims made, but although this isn’t cheap I think it’s more than worth the money! Only slight downside is that using it twice daily has left my skin feeling tight so I’d advise investing in a good moisturiser. But I’ll accept this for the results I’ve experienced.

It does work!!!
I bought this product 3 months ago and wanted to see if it works before I write a review. I didn't need to wait long till I saw the difference. I love this product, I can't believe that finally I found something that works. I bought so many skincare products and none of them made huge difference. My skin was good before this product but wanted a cleanser for blackheads. This one is great, evens the skin and gets rid of blackheads. I use it every night sometimes just every other night as it does dry your skin out a little. I feel confident without wearing make up! Definitely keep using it.

This product works wonders on my skin! I am so happy I decided to bite the bullet (especially for the price) and try it. I was struggling with 1-2 cheek acne that would become super red and inflamed. I could NOT get rid of it, and it felt like it kept coming back whenever I got it calmed down. I also have super mild acne around my chin that comes around my time of the month. I was previously using the salicylic acid from the ordinary 3x/week and as spot treatment as needed, which I think was just completely drying out my skin, and causing the cheek acne (I also think stress plays a part in this too). I came across PC salicylic acid and wanted to give it a try because of the cleaner ingredients. I was a little worried though because my skin is sensitive and on the dryer side, especially during winter months. It definitely took a while for me to figure out how many times a week I should be using this, but once I figured it out, my skin loved it! My sweet spot is using this 2x/week (and as an additional spot treatment on the “off nights” if I really need it) at night after I shower, making sure my face is dry before I apply it with my fingers. Yes, the drops go a long way, so be mindful of how much you are shaking out. The texture when applying it feels like a slippery water texture, and there is a super faint smell, which I don’t mind. I have been using this product for over 5 months and my cheek acne has gone away, largely because I think I am not drying my face out like I used to, and I have been learning to manage stress. I have also noticed that from switching to PC, my scars fade faster, my face feels overall brighter, and it honestly keeps my acne away for the most part. Being honest, yes, I did break out for like 2 weeks while adjusting to this product. After that, it’s been pretty smooth sailing! Don’t be afraid to try it and make it work for you and your skin type!
