    I had a big faith on this product, having read her book and her bulletins for many years. This was my first time trying her product. It broke me out big time! I'm not sure what was the reason...I...

    hmm, maybe I'm laying this on too thick (the review that said that they apply it with a cotton round has intrigued me) but in my experience, this is a super shiny (high-gloss) product when applied...

    After mentioning my success to someone I thought I should add a review here as well... I use this for the KP on my arms and occationally on my face (pre-period) to keep it clear. I normally use the...

    First of all, for the money, this product is lasting forever and is far better than any BHA product you will find. It just plain works. Great formulation of anti-irritants and antioxidants..plus...

    Love this sooooo much! I have already noticed a vast improvement of my skin. No dry flakes, looks so much clearer and my pores looks smaller. I've used the 2% BHA liquid and I'm liking the...

    I have used this product for three weeks now. I had an initial breakout the first week or so and had to cut back to once a day instead of twice for dryness, but overall I am impressed. My skin...

    This is my HG product for blemishes on the back and neck (mostly hormonal). It is easy to apply, dries realtively fast and is lightweight. I usually use the 1% gel or 2% BHA liquid for my face!

    I've had this for a week, and must say, I see an improvement already. I've tried the PC solution at 2% level, and was always a bit put off by the filmy residue and the shine it lest. I've also...

    This is the best quality BHA product I've ever used. It's rare that I ever get any acne anymore and I get lots of compliments on my skin.

    This product has worked well for me. I have oily, blemish prone skin and live in a humid climate. I use it at night, sometimes without a moisturizer. It dries to a *slightly* tacky finish....

    I just received a good size sample of this. It's wonderful. It leaves no residue on my face. I'm using the Weightless Body Treatment with 2% BHA on my face for the winter, but will definitely...

    From a guy's perspective this is a fantastic product. I have previously been using the 2%BHA Liquid and achieving excellent soothing/exfoliating results. The advantage of the Gel is that it is...

    I would only recommend this to those with skin that is oily and not at all sensitive. It's potent stuff and was way more than my skin could handle. Although I have used the 1% gel with great...

    I really like this. I had tried the 2% solution before, but it left and oily film, which was very unpleasant, on my skin. I also tried the 2% lotion, but found it to be a bit heavy feeling. This...

    Paula's Choice BHA Gel is, true to its name, a gel version of the 2% BHA liquid. I was excited to try this, because I didn't like the liquid version (it was a little irritating and left a greasy...

    Unfortunatly, the much anticipated gel form of Paula's 2% BHA product was a complete disaster for me. I've been using her 2% liquid solution with success for the past 6 months and was excited to...
