My Review

I have always had oily skin which adds up to being one of the reasons for breakouts. My job requires me to be outdoors a lot hence I suffer from sun damage. I can't use a very heavy moisturizer or sunscreens as they end up giving me a greasy look. Sometimes the sunscreens I use tend to leave a white cast when sweating occurs. The constant exposure to the sun has led to the darkening of the acne scars and redness on my skin.

I have used the products by Paula’s choice before and they worked out great for me so I decided to try out their sunscreen as well. I was impressed by the light texture and how easily it got absorbed into my skin. It does not leave a white cast and does the work well. I have been using it for almost a month now and I am more than happy with the results. My skin does not look dull anymore and it has somehow lightened the acne scars as well. Paula's Choice Youth-Extending Daily Hydrating Fluid SPF50 gives a matte finish so I can reapply it throughout the day without worrying about the greasy look. Also, it does not dry out my skin and keeps it hydrated all day long.

My Review

Finding a good exfoliator has always been tricky for me since I have sensitive skin. My skin tends to get red easily and I have had breakouts in the past that have left me with scars all over my face. The exfoliators I have tried in the past were too rough and caused damage to my skin. I also have rather enlarged pores that led to the accumulation of dirt and dust in them causing dull skin. Due to years of acne and sun damage, I had an uneven skin tone and rough texture.

I saw this exfoliator on my friend's skin cabinet shelf and was amazed at the results she experienced. After using it for just a week, I noticed a huge difference in my skin. My pore size has reduced considerably and I did not get any redness or reaction on my skin after using it. The fine lines and wrinkles had started to fade and my skin looked rather glowing. The difference was noticeable enough that people were asking me about what I was using. I have been using it for over a month now, and my skin looks and feels smooth like never before. I use it once or twice a week and it works out great for me.

Another favourite from the brand is this Vitamin C Serum.

Paula's Choice C15 Super Booster

This serum has a rare combination of Vitamin C and E, two effective ingredients for a clear and even skin tone. I apply 2-3 drops over my face and neck and it feels light on the skin. Although I have sensitive skin, it doesn’t cause any irritation or breakouts.

The Unique Formula

Vitamin C present in the serum in stabilized form has a pH of 3.0 that works to fade dark spots and brighten your skin while also improving firmness. Plus, it contains two powerful ingredients i.e., Ferulic acid and Vitamin E that are often combined in topical vitamin C formulations. Vitamin E soothes the skin and works as an antioxidant by sealing in moisture,2, while ferulic acid provides protection against environmental damage while boosting the benefits of vitamin C. Another super ingredient of the serum is hyaluronic acid, which can hold up to 1000 times its own weight in water within the skin cells, thus helping your skin retain hydration. 

Key Benefits

• It has a non-greasy and liquidy texture
• The bottle is not transparent like most serums, rather it is opaque
• It hydrates the skin without causing any irritation
• It contains Vitamin C in its purest form
• Hyaluronic acid and a peptide are also included in this cream, as well as vitamin E

My Experience

This is the first product I use in the morning after washing my face. Its liquid formulation quickly gets absorbed into my skin leaving a smooth feel. Despite having a low pH, the product is not drying, thanks to its hydrating ingredients. Also, with continuous application, I could see radiance and clarity on my skin which I always like.
