This is incredible. When I purchase actives from PC I can expect them to deliver, and this is no exeption. Wish the whole line was more affordable, but at lest they are not luxury priced like say...

Great packaging as always. The formulation is packed with silicones, however since it's for the body I don't mind. It doesn't pill, even if I apply other moisturizers on top. Great for ingrown...

This has a high concentration of AHA and I have been using it instead of Dermadoctor's KP lotion, which is similar yet more expensive. It is a very good body exfoliant. It has a good texture that...

At some point in the last year or so, Paula's choice has quietly reformulated this body lotion. It used to be a thick, hard to absorb, sour smelling, mineral-oil lotion back in the day. The newest...
