Paula's Choice BHA and Antioxidant concentrate serum

Having been utterly blown away by how well-formualted and super-performing Paula's Choice BHA and AHA products are, I decided to order some more. This time I went for 2% beta hydroxy acid gel (21,50 EUR for 118 ml or 4 fl oz, I have almost run out the 2% BHA liquid, which I love, but it is tricky to apply with your fingers and putting it on a cotton pad seems such a waste) and the second thing is Skin Balancing Super Antioxidant Maffifying Concentrate Serum (what a delicious name!, 26,95 EUR for 30 ml or 1 fl oz).

 

 

Everything was ordered via www.paulaschoice.eu, it took only three days to deliver. I received three free samples of other products.

Paula's Choice delivery AHA + BHA

Fighting blackheads and for that matter, any other kind of blemish, is a long-term battle. I have tried the self-adhesive strips (while they work nicely on me, they do not really address the problem, only its manifestation, ie blackheads) and also the blackhead eliminating scrubs, nothing has been particularly effective.

Now that I am a little bit wiser about how exfoliating works, thanks to a book by Paula Begoun, I ordered, not without hesitation, two products: 2% Beta Hydroxy Acid Liquid for all skin types and 8% AHA gel, both 118 ml and 21,50 EUR each. It was sent from Holland (6,95 EUR shipping), I ordered it on 12 June at http://www.paulaschoice-eu.com/shop/skin-care/exfoliants, it was delivered on 16 June. The two products were placed inside of a carton box, protected by those little PVC pieces (lost for the right expression here). You also receive a leaflet with all products on offer and in addition the complete list of all ingredients.

I applied 2% BHA Liquid last night before I went to bed and it is not my intention to sound bombastic, but oh my Gosh, what a difference! (the liquid did take a long time to dry and it leaves a shiny film, but who cares when it is dark, ha ha). It absolutely healed and closed the two stubborn spots that were torturing me for the last week. I am yet to see if this solution works as an effective eliminator of the blackheads, but I am totally over-whelmed how my skin feels soft and yes, rejuvenated. Thumbs-up for the next order!

Before I made my purchase, though, I saw this video (a very positive and informative review). Guys, if you are having problems with razor bumps, definitely try this:

Back to basics! If you are looking for a thorough way how to exfoliate your skin, go for Kruidvat salt scrub. I find it really effective, almost a bit too aggressive, but it does the job done!

Go 360 ° Clean - deep exfoliating scrub review

As much as I love putting makeup on, I have as much trouble taking it all off! So, I when I saw a commercial for go 360 °clean scrub in American InStyle magazine, I decided to give it a try.

And here is a shocker! It is normal scrub :-) However, the fancy scrublet will get your face as clean as it gets. I just love how the product mixes in with water to create foam :-)

It promises to exfoliate dull, dead skin cells and unclog pores, to remove all traces of oil, dirt and makeup...well, hopefully :-) While this may all be true, it also claims to make your pores small, and even I am not falling for that :-)

Having said that, this is my favourite scrub product, the smell is devine and the little sponge scrublet does make a difference in taking all the makeup off.

So, when you see it, for example, on a shopping trip in German (Joy magazine, April 2011), definitely buy it:
