    This stuff gave me a really bad rash all over my face. I think it was from the honeysuckle extract. If you have sensitive don't buy it. That's too bad though because it's pretty cheap.

    This is one of the products from her I like. The combination of alcohol and bpo dries them up quick. I still like neutrogena on the spot and proactiv lotions better though.

    This totally did nothing for my skin. It may have even made me break out- at any rate, it certainly didn't prevent nor treat any blemishes.

    This is one of the few benzoyl peroxide blemish treatments that doesn't irritate my skin. It dries up zits effectively and doesn't cause my skin to get horribly flaky the way Oxy adn some of the...

    This stuff is way too harsh for my skin. It dried it out awfully and started to make my skin get all red and flakey. It also burned and stung my face.

    Normally, I love Paula's Choice Skin care but this one I just feel like it is a so-so product. Yes, it is a good 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide solution but that's it. You can go to your pharmacy and buy...

    I was quite disappointed with this product and the PC line. The solution did nothing for my zits, it made my skin more irritated and red :(

    I bought the travel size bottle of this product to try as an alternative to Neutrogena's 2.5% BPO lotion (which works well for me, but I was curious about Paula's version). Oddly enough, even...

    A very gentle but effective blemish fighter. Clears up breakouts in a flash, seems like faster than other similar products I've used. Also seems to be good for break out prevention as well.

    The first time I used this, I woke up with breakouts and bumps. I used it for a few more days, but it never got better. I don't think this product is right for me.

    I dab a little amount of it for spot treating a pimple. Yes it dries up my pimple but leaves a scar that need way longer to disappear than not applying anything.
