Not credible. When I noticed that virtually every skin care product is rated as bad or mediocre, and all of the Paula's Choice products are given top ratings(the author owns the Paula's Choice...

Simply not Credible enough. She doesn't have any Ph.D, MD or even RN title. She is a makeup artist before that became interested on how vast the cosmetic business is. She is smart and is actually...

I love Paula and I used to use this book to look up everything I would buy that deals with skincare and cosmetics. It helped me become an informed consumer and it educated me on what to look for...

This is a great book. The only thing is, seeing as she put all this research in why couldn't she do some studies of her own. I mean, sure it is great that she is reviewing things based on their...

As a cosmetics junky I enjoyed this book very much, the problem with the reviews is that they become out dated very quick. And I don't agree with Paula on everything she writes.

This is OK as an intro to beauty items but the key is to take everything PB says with a grain of salt. I like to use this as a quick filter for certain types of products where I know her views...

Disclaimer: I'm a die-hard PC skincare fan, her products have completely transformed my skin. But I must put personal affections aside and fairly confess that I find the whole concept of a book of...

I have the 7th edition, and after that I subscribed to Beautypedia, and I plan to continue subscribing, so I say I would buy it again. As it is constantly being updated, I think it is a great...

I have to agree with many people here. Although I applaud Paula for getting people to think about what they are actually buying: what is IN products and what they are packaged in. A healthy dose of...

Like most other reviewers here, I found Paula's advice to be biased at BEST. I like what she's trying to do- steer women away from overpriced hyped-up cosmetics- but I think she's going about it...

1. My biggest annoyance is that she ignores comedogenic causing agents. There is a well known highly scientific scale for this! She really doesn't know what she's talking about here. She says...

I do think it was a fresh approach to focus on the ingredients in skincare products and makeup and see through the marketing. However, I don't think you can really review a product completely just...
