It actually works!
I have tried EVERYTHING for my acne. EVERYTHING. Nuetrogena, La Roche-Posay, Differin Gel, Alba Botanica’s acne dote, random stuff from the store, a mix of cetiphil soap and hibbacleanse (is that how you spell it?), and even nothing at all. Everything either gave me a permanent sunburn, made my skin peel/flake, or gave me more acne. Ever since I was 12 years old, I’ve been searching and searching for the right product. I think this is it. I ordered the regular strength travel size, and I love it. The first thing you will notice about Paula’s Choice trial size is that it is, well, tiny. The bottles are VERY small. But don’t let that get you down. I found that the small size is actually helpful, because it helps you conserve the product and not use too much, which could cause irritation. Tip: The instructions on the bottle may not always be the instructions for your skin. What I mean by this is that sometimes we all can be very tempted to follow the “use one to three times a day” instructions the brand gives us, though our skin is individual and unique and may require more or less, depending on skin sensitivity, severity of acne, etc. I started using the cleanser in the evening, then I washed with a normal cleanser the next morning, and then I used the cleanser, toner, and treatment, that evening. The next day, I started using the cleanser and toner in the morning and all three of them at night. That is what I have been doing for the past 3 weeks, and there is still about 1-2 weeks left I think in the bottles! The next thing I want to say is IT DOES NOT WORK MIRACLES! It’s not going to just magically clear up your acne overnight. it’s going to take time, and you’re going to have to have some patience. I’ve been using it for three weeks and have seen some great improvement! But the first 1-4 days I didn’t see much of a difference at all. I have really, really bad acne on the sides of my face and on my chin/jaw area. I get pimples a lot on my cheeks and forehead too, but the chin/jaw and sides of my face near my ears has the worst acne; with bright, big, red and very painful pimples. This acne treatment really helped prevent new pimples from forming, it made the existing ones smaller and less painful, and it makes my skin feel and look way better. I’m not really sure what the anti-redness stuff does, but the other things have helped. One last tip: Make sure you have a good face sunscreen and moisturizer before using this. Benzoyl peroxide is known to dry out your skin and make it more prone to sunburns. So, grab yourself a really great sunscreen that won’t cause acne, and a moisturizer that is you a rich, and non-greasy. I use Alba Botanica’s aloe and green tea moisturizer, and it is absolutely perfect with this product.Bottom Line: Get your skin used to this treatment before you use it full-on, have patience, and team it with good moisture and sun protection!I totally recommend this product, so if you’re still on the fence, GET IT! The trial size is very low-commitment, and won’t make your acne worse, so there’s really no reason NOT to try this! Hope your story is as happy as mine! 🙂

Overall a good product!
Prior to using this set my face was breaking out quite badly. I changed my cleanser one day and since then my skin has never been the same, it broke out like crazy and no matter what I did my skin just wouldnât return to how it was prior to using that cleanser . With that being said, I bought this set and let me tell you, within just a few uses my face was improving! I was in shock! Iâve been using this set for about a week and my forehead is now basically clear again! My cheeks are almost clear, I havenât had this clear of skin for quite sometime. My only suggestion is to moisturize moisturize moisturize. I have very oily skin so I usually use a light gel like moisturizer. No no no, my skin was so dry it, and it was stiff at times. When I switched to my thicker moisturizer with Shea butter my face instantly felt better and my face was once again glowing and looking healthy again! Also I wouldnât recommend just using this product twice a day right off the bat because it does sting a little. So work this product into your routine gradually. Just be cautious if you have sensitive skin. Overall this set is a great it definitely has done the job and is clearing my skin in no time. Iâd say give it a try if you want to clear your skin, but just keep in mind some of the things mentioned above. I hope this helps, thank you:)

Products all women must have!
Never thought the products are going to work, I bought it because I have more frequent breakouts during the winter so I want to try out. Thanks PAULA, it works!Here is how I used it to minimize the acnes/breakouts: Use cleanser to wash out the makeup or any residues on your skin, a small portion will do. Scrub in hand until you see the foam then apply to the face and wash out it using warm water. Then, putting moisturizer or toner of your choice (primarily deep hydration function works best in my opinion) before applying the exfoliating solution to reduce the burning sensation if you want to apply A LOT of exfoliate. But, you should start with little amount for step 2 to see how your skin react to it. Yes! LITTLE! Please Ladies! Literally one to two drops at your fingertip and only to spots that need attention. My favorite is step 3 treatment cream and I usually skipped 1 and 2 and go staright to 3 if my skin conditions are good. Simply apply the cream to your face. You don’t have to use these products every day, use it when the breakouts are severe. I would add serum (targeting skin repair function) after step 3 right before I went to sleep. The reason for this is because does not dry your face as much.Make sure you use suncreen in the morning after every application. I am going to emphasize this, SUNSCREEN IS MANDATORY, NO EXCEPTION. Benzoyl peroxide is going to make your skin prone to sunburn. There was one occasion where I forget to put the sunscreen and I can clearly see that the skin peeling off after exposure to sun. I also want to make a note that you should only put solution on spots that needs treatment, not the entire face, otherwise you are interuperting your skin defense line. Small amount and longer the duration of use are the keys.These combinations/steps siginifically reduced the redness and smooth the acnes in ONE night, very surprisingly, saver for night before party. For thoese who have senstitive skin, the products will give you burning/itching feeling, I have combination skin type and I can still feel that stinging on my face if I am applying a lot of the treatment, so portion does matter. Overall I am satisifying and happy and will see if this works the same in the summer.
