Say what you want about Paula's Choice, but like you said, their products work, and they recycle packaging. Also, their customer service is impeccable. I sent them an email to ask for suggestions for one of my loved ones who has been battling cancer and they sent over $150 worth of free product directly to her. I've never seen another brand do something like that.

To be entirely honest, having bought several “high end” skin care brands (such as drunk elephant) and having horrible experiences with them, I did not find PC’s products to be overly expensive. ESPECIALLY considering they have sales ALL THE TIME (regularly they offer 20% off) and provide such detailed information about their products. I have tried several things from them and their 2% BHA exfoliant is the only thing besides very powerful Benzoyl Peroxide creams that has had a noticeable effect on my black heads. In the end, you should do your own research and buy what makes you comfortable, but I have had very positive experiences with this brand.
@IBlameItOnMyYouth 4 жыл бұрын
That's definitely true, however I always think that if a brand is able to do discounts that often it means that their production costs are a lot lower as they still need to be able to cover all costs even with the discounted prices. That's why I'm also super annoyed by brands who offer tons of discount codes to influencers, because they must have incredibly high profit margins if they can basically have all of their products sold on a discounted price.

Shivani Dudyala it depends! The PC 2% BHA solution is very gentle so you can actually use it 2 times a day.

I have been using Paula’s Choice products since they debuted in 1994. I am 61. Generally people think I am 50. I attribute this to using PC skin care and religious use of sunscreen. Worth the money to me. Customer service is wonderful. Recently they discontinued a lip balm wth spf. When I asked about this, they explained that they could not source a critical ingredient any longer so that led to the product being discontinued. They then recommended a competitor’s product to replace it. I will continue to use these products as long as they are available. I hope the pandemic doesn’t put an end to them.

Paula Begoun is the pioneer in getting women help in making smart choices. I’m 59. So I, like her Product line, am, as you said, “really really old.” So I have a different take. She helped me and a lot of women before internet and google and young youtube influencers. Her books and her passion were very radical for their time. And she called herself a cop. But how different is that from drop that brand/use-this-dupe, ingredient call-outs, “this isn’t vegan,” “this isn’t clean,” and the shading of entire lines, as well as lots of ageist dismissal of women trying to get the info they used to get from Paula’s books from KZfaq videos produced by people who think 30 is old. Or (gasp) 40. (They’re not old. You just don’t know that yet. So prepare to be pleasantly surprised.). I saved a ton of money right away, when I read her books, and I learned about the dangers of sun damage and the advantages of simple, drugstore-priced products with very few ingredients. Sound familiar? I hope I look as good as her at 66. I hope I have her poise and her confidence and her authority. And when your young viewers get as old as me, Botox might not seem outrageous. It’s a personal choice. And finally, we should all be so lucky to feel free enough to write books about kissing. At any age. Or do I, given my ancientness, need to fear young kissing cops?

LOL. I’m 52, guess I’m really old too. I had the Blue Eyeshadow and Cosmetics Counter books, and I agree, they were a game changer. Younger people don’t realize that when we were kids, it was hard to learn about makeup...if you were lucky enough to have the money and access, you could make an appointment with the makeup counter lady at Estée Lauder. Or the Mary Kay lessons. Either way, you were going to walk away purchasing 4 or 5 products. And you still didn’t know anything useful about ingredients or formulations outside of their brand. I am glad I found Paula (and her preaching about SPF) when I was young!

I actually interviewed her as a young journalist:-!) she was a hairstylist who started investigating skincare products and she helped get labeling of ingredients on skincare products. Labels weren’t always there girls!! Women had to take the companies claims at face value and didn’t have a clue what the products contained!!

Are they actually recommending the products that work best or are they recommending the companies who send them the most free stuff? Knowing you had a negative experience with the PR team but also recognize that that has little impact on what ordinary consumers are looking for in their skincare is refreshing.

Paula's book "Don't Go To The Cosmetics Counter Without Me" changed my relationship with my skin and skincare. I owe her for giving me the knowledge to decipher ingredient lists and make the right choices. I had never heard of AHA or BHA before reading her book in the 1990s and she taught me how to build a skincare routine. Although I don't use PC products exclusively all of my choices are based on the knowledge she passed on so I'm very grateful. Sadly when companies are sold philosophy often changes and people get greedy. I'm hoping that Deciem doesn't go down this road also since the Estée Lauder group acquired a large percentage.

It was empowering to know about the ingredients and what types of products to look for. And 30 years later, after wearing daily SPF and using gentle cleansers, I think my skin looks pretty darn good! (Do you remember when it was almost impossible to find her favorite cleanser Cetaphil? I remember when you had to ask the pharmacist to get it off their back shelf for you!)

It works! In regards to the acquisition and kissing books, who cares? 4. Eye cream. They've done social posts and literally talk about how eye cream isn't necessary but if you want to use it they have compact versions so they actually haven't strayed from Paula's original thoughts at all. 5. They have incredible customer service. I have never seen brand care so much about getting me the right products for my skin type. They give you free consultations with an expert even!!

That really turned me off. I don't like being forced to subscribe and be forced to pay for only monthly or every 2 or 3rd monthly delivery options when it's already expensive for me and worse for Canadians ordering with converted money and shipping by only choosing to be stuck with monthly orders. I've tried other routes but I refuse to order from Amazon cause I've also had bad experiences with them at times and they treat their employees so cruel. So I've given up on them. I'm sure it is easy in the U.S. to get but not in Canada. I'd rather stick to my Inkey List or Ordinary instead.

@@ericaespinosa4030 I'm from Canada and I order all the time. I believe you clicked on the auto replenishment that's why you're seeing purchase every 3 months. My friend who also lives in Canada was able to order 2 items. The only negative to that is you will be charged shipping but PC always have many different sales going on. I've never been charged shipping as I normally buy more than $65 worth...and normally I would get either 15% or 20% and free gifts! Products are expensive but they're worth it! Good luck!

I’ve tried using all the moisturizers that are wonderful for my face, but they wrecked havoc on my eyes...and I didn’t even apply them too close to my eyes. For me this very expensive gel-cream has been wonderful for my eye area! But, I admit, I’m quite jealous of all you ladies that don’t need a separate eye cream. I do think about how much money I could’ve saved, but it really works incredibly well for me and no irritated-looking and feeling, bloodshot eyes! It’s my only “splurge”.

I was struggling with my acne as a teenager and feeling backward when I ran into her book "Don't go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me" and it completely changed my thoughts on products as it gave me the knowledge I needed to be able to tell some good and bad products apart based on their ingredients. Her acne line then, while didn't completely clear up my skin helped a lot. Her's was the first salicylic acid that worked without drying and damaging my skin. Her face washes are also very affordable and don't give me eczema-like reactions as some acne washes had done.
