Two Week Trial Kit

I have had a battle with my skin since I was 12. 23 years of my life. I use this once a day before bed. It does sting and burn, however my skin is so much better! Not only is my acne almost gone after 2 weeks, but the texture and pores are smoother, and overall redness is gone! I wish I had before and after. This is incredibly effective, as this was going to my last attempt before going back to the doctor. The price is high, however it is worth the cost and the bottles last. I’d suggest starting with every other day of use once a day; and working your way up. I do the 3 steps, and then use a cooling face mask (like one I keep in the freezer and reuse). Before bed I do Vaseline on my t-zone and nose and across cheeks and that has addressed any dryness I get, which has been minimal. Love this product!

I have tried EVERYTHING for my acne. EVERYTHING. Nuetrogena, La Roche-Posay, Differin Gel, Alba Botanica's acne dote, random stuff from the store, a mix of cetiphil soap and hibbacleanse (is that how you spell it?), and even nothing at all. Everything either gave me a permanent sunburn, made my skin peel/flake, or gave me more acne. Ever since I was 12 years old, I've been searching and searching for the right product. I think this is it. I ordered the regular strength travel size, and I love it. The first thing you will notice about Paula's Choice trial size is that it is, well, tiny. The bottles are VERY small. But don't let that get you down. I found that the small size is actually helpful, because it helps you conserve the product and not use too much, which could cause irritation. Tip: The instructions on the bottle may not always be the instructions for your skin. What I mean by this is that sometimes we all can be very tempted to follow the "use one to three times a day" instructions the brand gives us, though our skin is individual and unique and may require more or less, depending on skin sensitivity, severity of acne, etc. I started using the cleanser in the evening, then I washed with a normal cleanser the next morning, and then I used the cleanser, toner, and treatment, that evening. The next day, I started using the cleanser and toner in the morning and all three of them at night. That is what I have been doing for the past 3 weeks, and there is still about 1-2 weeks left I think in the bottles! The next thing I want to say is IT DOES NOT WORK MIRACLES! It's not going to just magically clear up your acne overnight. it's going to take time, and you're going to have to have some patience. I've been using it for three weeks and have seen some great improvement! But the first 1-4 days I didn't see much of a difference at all. I have really, really bad acne on the sides of my face and on my chin/jaw area. I get pimples a lot on my cheeks and forehead too, but the chin/jaw and sides of my face near my ears has the worst acne; with bright, big, red and very painful pimples. This acne treatment really helped prevent new pimples from forming, it made the existing ones smaller and less painful, and it makes my skin feel and look way better. I'm not really sure what the anti-redness stuff does, but the other things have helped. One last tip: Make sure you have a good face sunscreen and moisturizer before using this. Benzoyl peroxide is known to dry out your skin and make it more prone to sunburns. So, grab yourself a really great sunscreen that won't cause acne, and a moisturizer that is you a rich, and non-greasy. I use Alba Botanica's aloe and green tea moisturizer, and it is absolutely perfect with this product. Bottom Line: Get your skin used to this treatment before you use it full-on, have patience, and team it with good moisture and sun protection! I totally recommend this product, so if you're still on the fence, GET IT! The trial size is very low-commitment, and won't make your acne worse, so there's really no reason NOT to try this! Hope your story is as happy as mine! :)

This set is a winter staple for me, especially with combination skin that leans dry in colder months. It effectively keeps breakouts under control without over-drying or irritating my skin. The products work well together to maintain clarity while still feeling gentle and balanced. My skin stays calm, clear, and more even when I use this consistently, which is not always easy to find in acne-focused routines during winter. If you have combination skin and struggle with breakouts in the dry season, this is a reliable, well-formulated set.

I am so impressed with this product! I could visibly see the redness go down after the very first use, and it makes my skin look shiny after use! I’m excited to see what my skin looks like after a month or two of using this product cause I’m just 4 days in (as in photos) you can clearly see the difference. My blackheads which are usually dark and oily are very small and not nearly as visible. ONLY WARNING is that this does not come with a moisturizer. This does majorly dry out your skin, your going to need a strong moisturizer. I use all natural raw Shea butter, and I put it on after I use this on the dry spots and that balances out the use of this product perfectly. If you have SUPER SENSITIVE SKIN I would not recommend this for that reason. But I would recommend this product to anyone that’s struggled with stubborn acne. Ive had acne all my life, but I just had my baby , and had really clear skin the whole time I was pregnant, but now that I am not my hormones came in and totally messed my skin up. So glad this works. I’ve tried every at home remedy in the book, and almost every over the counter brand, but nothing has dramatically worked this fast.

I have stubborn, hormonal acne and this is the ONLY product that clears my skin. I've tried prescription creams and medicines that have not given me the clear, soft skin that this product gives me. It definitely works! I use the extra strength option and beware, you have to build up to it or your skin will become dry and flaky. Each bottle is numbered, making it easy to use but I recommend using a moisturizer as well. It is unscented and light on your skin. The regular bottles are quite big and will last a few months! It may seem pricey, but in my opinion, it's totally worth it!

Very good for acne
