    I had VERY high hopes for this product after reading Paula's website, then after buying the product I read reviews on here and was even more hopeful it would work. However, I had NO results with...

    I've used this product twice a day, every day for the last 3 years. I will not be without this product. I've found that this, in combination with a few other products, keeps my acne and blackheads...

    I will die if she ever, ever decides to discontinue this. I buy this in bulk b/c I love it so. This has signigicantly decreased the breakouts I get and it has helped to keep blackheads at bay. ...

    This has noticeably improved my skin in the past 3-4 months that I've been using it. My skin is ridiculously prone to clogged pores which once in a while turn into zits, and since using this...

    This is a great BHA product. It's light, effective, and soothing as well. I put it a little bit on in the morning under my SPF moisturizer. It's great. Shouldn't use too much though, it would be...

    This has helped lessen breakouts on my skin and my skin feels smooth the next morning. I take turns using this and an AHA lotion each night and my skin has been better than it has ever been.
