Good serum

I don't understand why this serum isn't more popular. I really like the stuff. After just a few times, I saw a difference in my skin. It gives a very nice glow and visibly reduces pores. My acne on my chin has also diminished a lot. Just shake a little bit before use, otherwise it's more like an oil. Another advantage, you only need very little. I really think this is an underrated serum, I can't live without it! #SkincarelsTheBestCare

Happy customer

I have normal but sensitive skin. This antioxidant is easy to apply and has a very fine structure: not too liquid but not a thick cream either. In addition, it also absorbs quickly so that you can apply your day cream a few seconds afterwards. I really notice a difference: my pores look better and I even have a bit of a healthy glow on my skin:)

Since I use the products, my skin has progressed very much! What a fantastic serum this is. It gives a quick result. After using a few times, I have a nice glow and visibly reduced pores.

The acne product for sensitive/damaged skin

Wow what a product says!!! Since last October, I've been strugling with acne around my chin. I had tried a lot of products that made my skin so sensitive that everything only seemed to make it worse. As a result, I decided Paula’s choice to buy a mini set at the acne. Because I still had a discount code of 7.50, I decided to add this mini. First I used the exfoliant of the set every 3 days and this porepurifier 1/2 times a week. I didn't really notice much difference so left him a little left. In the long run, I noticed that my skin had already had so much to endure that the exfoliant was just a little too much. When I read on the packaging of this product that there was only 0.5% salicylic acid in it and also azealin acid which helps against redness, I decided to give it a chance by using it every day and leaving the exfoliant for what it was. And wow after 4!!!!! Days of use all my active pimples were already gone or drastically reduced. Since then, I only occasionally have some clogged pores but the real acne has remained out. I have been using the product for about 3 weeks and since last week I have been using the exfoliant once a week. I notice that my skin can appreciate it much better now and that it purifies my pores even more without leaving a red and burning sensation what I had first. All in all, a super underrated product, which is especially worth trying to give your skin some rest while still tackling acne and clogged pores! ❤️
