Review: Paula’s choice is the best! - I’ve been using this product for 7 years and it’s amazing. Do not rub it all over your face. It’s supposed to go on your fine lines and wrinkled spots. You start will a small area and use a little tiny mini drop on your finger for that spot. You only do that for like 2-3 days a week. Once your skin gets used to it, you can do the same thing to your other spots. I would never rub it all over your face. Paula’s Choice has other face creams for that. Retinol is too harsh. If you use it long enough, you won’t hardly see any lines. Trust me, I’m almost 48, and have barely any lines, and no wrinkles. People mistake me for a millennial around late 30’s, lol It works. It takes consistency and patience. In the meantime, don’t smoke or vape and use sunscreen. Lead a healthy life and your skin will reflect it.
Review: FINALLY a product that does what it says! - I never leave reviews, but as someone who has tried a multitude of face moisturizers over the years I just had to provide feedback on this. FINALLY I have found something that actually does what it says. My skin has never felt so soft and smooth. The product is the perfect consistency and does not make my skin feel sticky. It absorbs relatively quick. In a couple weeks I have already noticed my skin is more smooth. Less fine lines/wrinkles and brightening of some dark spots. I am so happy to have found it and it is well worth the money with the results so far!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Read this before you start using it!!!
*by C***D on April 3, 2022*

I was introduced to this product by a friend who has similar skin/complexion. She looks fabulous so I decided to give it a whirl. Things you should know: 1. My beauty routine consisted of occasionally washing my face. And by occasional— I mean rarely. 2. I was always fortunate to have ‘good’ skin it didn’t break out or have big pores BUT it was super sensitive. 3. I’m lazy and will not do anything that requires a lot of work. 4. I’m 50. The pictures are in order of progress — blue top was day of first application —the next 3 are from the first 10 days and the last one is as of tonight. With all that said — I was instructed in detail about using the product. 1. Start slow — every other night 2. Keep it away from your eyes. 3. Use sunscreen and be very careful going out in the sun after a treatment. I started slow (2 applications following the instructions) and did not put it ‘near’ my eyes. I stop at my brow and just below my darks circles. It burned my skin off as if I was in Chernobyl when it exploded. It was AWFUL and it took 10 days to heal. (See pics) What I realized was with my sensitive skin I really should have put more time between applications. So once I healed — I then waited 6 days between applications as I had some dryness and a little sensitivity on my cheeks. I’ve been using the product now for a little over 3 weeks only had 4 applications and I’m already seeing marked improvement. My “11s” are much less obvious (see pics). My skin looks brighter and healthier. Lastly it’s a smooth as a baby’s rump — I suspect that has a lot to do with burning off the top 4 layers of skin, but I digress. This product is intense but effective. It will burn if you don’t ease into using it. Also — when they say don’t put it on your eyes — what they mean is anywhere near your eyes. Give a wide birth or else you risk having your face look like mine did. My eyelids were literally burned and I never touched them with the product that’s how strong it is. Now I keep it focused on my cheeks and a very tiny amount on the side of my eye for those dreaded crows feet. Other things of note: this is part of a very simple routine. Morning 1. Wash face 2. Use hyaluronic acid serum 3. Use Vitamin C serum Evening 1. Wash face 2. Use Retinol (slow at first - then work up to the right cadence for you) 3. Use moisturizer I use Beauty Counter products for the serums I use in the morning. I use Verse for my sunscreen and moisturizer. Obviously, PC’s retinol Cerave Moisturizing Face Wash I purchased everything except the Beauty Counter products through Amazon. I love all of the products and will continue using them. Hope this helps you make good decisions.
