Gives me smooth and radiant skin. I totally love this 8% Alpha Hydroxy Solution of Paula's that I would recommend this to anyone who's not sensitive to Alpha Hydroxy Acid. This is the only one...

I've been using this for 2 months and love it. I use it every other night, alternating it with the 1% BHA gel. I had been using the Alpha Hydrox Enhanced Cream, which is 10% AHA, but despite the...

I have been a long time user of Neutrogena Healthy Skin (AHA). I love Paula's Beta Hydroxy, the only one that isn't drying when used once per day and makes a significant difference in moisture...

I'd been using Neutrogena Healthy Skin Face Lotion because I liked the idea of having a moisturizer/sunscreen/AHA product all in one, but my skin didn't like it at all - lots of redness, irritation...

Hi, I've tried several PC products and this is the best one, hands down. It doesn't sting me at all, I guess cause I've been using a home microdermabrasion product. I like the texture: liquid...

Horrible! This product just dried my skin and didn't provide any smoothing at all. I have normal skin which felt slightly dry after using this product. It is a clear gel that has a slightly...

Paula's choice is a very good brand that is quite cheap and works well. This is great for dry skin so if you have dry skin like me i suggest you give it a go!

This is my favourite AHA product. It gets rid of my clogged pores like no other, and I've tried Retin-A, BHA, sulfur mask, tea tree, bp, microderms, etc. It is so effective at evening out skin...
