This video is just what I needed! I recently bought this and wasn't sure how to use it or how to layer. Thanks!
Amazing thanks for the love Teresa!
Can i ask something? Do any of you know what this is supposed to smell like? Mine kinda smells like a nail polish remover..
@@aur9035 well well! now I'm very curious. My 2% bha will be delivered within 3 to 5 days. I'll let ya know ingshaAllah 😌✌🏼
Cathy on Skincare im scare to try this because cosrx bha blackhead power liquid dont work for me im scare if this paula choice might irritated my oily skin
@@CathyonSkincare Hi Cathy! Can I use Cerave Renewing SA Cleanser, Cerave Facial AM Moisturizing Lotion, and The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension with Paula's Choice BHA Exfoliant?
If you’re thinking of buying this product. DO IT. All I do at night is wash my face, put this on, and moisturize, and my skin is GLOWING. Omg, holy grail. Do it.
How many times a week do you use it?
same here, it didn’t help much with my textured skin and i can’t use it that often because my skin is so sensitive, please tell me if you find any other or better products for your skin to help with the texture ✌🏾
I am 13 years old with sensitive/ oily skin can I use this? I’m afraid it might irritate my skin, my mum always tells me I shouldn’t use products bc my skin is still young and sensitive
What's your skin type?
@@laralara3756 bruh my mom told me this too, it’s simply not true. Some chemicals r made for our skin to get better. It depends on ur skin type and what products would go with it. Keep this in mind, some all natural things can be bad for ur skin as well. At ur age, it’s good to start, try to convince ur mom and much as you can.
I have hormonal acne, and been trying so hard to get rid of it. THIS WORKED AND IT IS AMAZING
Omg congrats girls sounds great!!!😻❤️how often do you use it?? I just bought it and I’m not sure how often to use it.
I’ve been using it and it doesn’t do much :( what other products do you use? I also have hormonal acne
I've just ordered the travel size as I have hormonal acne too, I really hope it works as I've tried everything 🙄
Same
OMG BLESS YOU CUZ I HAVE HORMONAL ACNE TOO AND TRYING TO GET RID OF IT AND HAD MY EYE ON THIS PRODUCT
1. Cleanse
2. Tone
3. Exfoliate
4. Serum
5. Moisturiser
6. SPF if morning
Hi i am new to skincare can you tell what toner to use here?
@@a.n.7338 toner isn't necessary, you can simply skip it)
@@a.n.7338 toner is not really needed in a skincare routine but if you want you can use it
@@itsreallydenise nope, but they help to solve particular skin imperfections. For example i have post acne dark spots and use serum to make them lighter.
@@a.n.7338 you can use witch hazel
To save more product because this is expensive, I highly recommend just to use your clean bare hand to pat it dry :) I love this btw! Been using for around a month and I've seen good results.
i figured that the second day lol cause the cotten was absorving way morr then needed
@@lourieorozco7483 Same haha
I tried this once, and some got in my eyes 😭 such a weird texture! I just couldn’t finish the bottom because even on cotton pad it just feels odd, can’t explain it
hi! does it remove tiny bumps on ur face? i have this problem for so long 😭😭😭
@@kyanmabff5180 It does actually my face feels and looks smoother
Great video ✨ personally for my skin I couldn’t mix paulas choice bha with the ordinary niacinamide + zinc serum. I noticed that my skin was still breaking out and it seem to be getting worse. But when I used the bha at night and the niacinamide serum in the morning my skin started clearing up really nice
Hey there actually your not supposed to put the paula choice one and the ordinary one as it will react I was like u too✨
@@yoongikookie4968 really? i'm glad i knew that since i ordered the paula's choice toner from amazon and was about to add it into my pm skincare routine, that has niaincinimide
Omg! Me too. I thought i am the only one who have a problem with layering this product and TO niacinamide. Especially because i have sensitive skin. I'd rather use this product for night and TO niacinamide for morning, and it works!
just got both of these and doing the same as you, one in the am one in the pm!
i used, cerave cleanser, paulas choice, vitamin e serum and moisturiser with spf in the morning and at night i use, cerave smoothing cleanser, niacinamide at night ..... is this ok?
I can literally fall asleep to your
voice. So calming
my skin didn't purge when i started using this, i got results after around a week and have been using consistently for 3 months i love it! changed my skin so much
@Misha Ng the bottle says use every day after cleansing and that works well for my skin (normal acne prone), some people use it less often though
How long does it last before you buy another one?
just had to make a comment on this because I’m shocked at how well this worked. results came literally like the next day. all throughout my teenage years my blackheads on my nose and chin have been AWFUL,, it was so weird seeing myself with such clear skin. game changing
I have oily, sensitive and acne prone skin.can i use it?😢
HI, I bought this product 2 weeks back and have been using it every other day but haven't seen much difference!!! I have blackheads on my nose and chin and would like to get rid of them. I apply moisturizer 2 minutes after applying this product and get really sweaty. Is there something wrong the way am using it???
@@aeliyafatima5431 I would recommend asking a professional but in my opinion you should pair this with Cerave salicylic acid cleanser first which has helped my blackheads a lot, use the Paula’s choice as a toner, let it sit and sink in, then apply your moisturizer. This product has worked for me but I will say I don’t find it works if I use it too often, i don’t use it everyday. if ur acne and blackheads r rly bad id recommend getting something with retinol too, i also use the cerave one 💪 however it’s pretty harsh on ur skin and does cause peeling to get rid of the blackheads and acne, so be aware of that!!
A skincare upload that has actually helped me understand easier! Thank you
I love this product! It can be a little pricey, but it can last a long time if you use clean hands vs a cotton pad to save product. I do use cheaper moisturizers and cleansers, but this is a goodie that I would splurge on no doubt. This has improved the little bumps that would never go away on my forehead and my overall skin texture.
How long can it last if used once at night?
did you purge?
@@commanderchiefmaster your profile pic made me think there was a hair on my screen 😅😅
How much does it cost? I don't trust the internet
I've been struggling with those bumps on forehead maybe this will help 🤞
I apply it with my fingers is because I’m afraid that I’ll waste too much product when I use a cotton pad, cause I have the mini version..
Right..... She WAS affordable in the beginning now..... Dang way to expensive
@@ccedwards7 exactly 🥴
I just ordered the mini one and I'm gonna do that to as well as only applying it on my forehead 🤣🤣
Yup! She is expensive so makes sense you don’t want to waste it! 😭
How long does the mini last?
Your voice and editing style is so relaxing!!! Such a good alternative to the usual skincare RUclipsrs. Thanks for the vid!
how is your personality so refreshing 🥺
I was looking for an answer to how to layer this product (especially with niacinamide) just a few days ago! You must read minds 😊 thank you for this video it was really helpful! Your editing and personality give me nice vibes~ 🥰
How can anyone not like this video. She is so sweet and knowledgeable. Love this and all her videos.
Great video, exactly what i was looking for! Explains the product and shows it off as well. Thanks!
So happy that it helped you! ❤️
Love the quality of your videos and really thought it was great too when mentioning the importance of a patch test. Something a lot of people forget! Great video 🙌
this product cleared my whole face up sm its a holy grail forsure
How often did u use it and for how long have u been using it? Did u use it before sleep or after waking up?
Do you cleanse your face with a cleanser then put it on?
@@eylulroses1254 7:39
does it help with milia and white heads?
@@samsam060402 thank you! but what's ccs?
I like it so much how you explain everything, like i dont have any questions anymore!!❤️❤️
Thank you so much for this, was looking for a video on bha highlighting layering and this really answered a lot of my questions
I just found your channel and I’ve been bingingggg!!! You are so underrated and your EDITING!!!! IS!!!! GOALS!!!!!
About applying it on the neck: since it’s an exfoliant the product sheds your skin and therefore the tan you might have on your face and neck. If you want them evenly toned, you‘re supposed to use it on face and neck.
But that’s just a thought :D
Thanks, I’m really like how you explained everything so well and your voice us so smooth ❤️ felt good listening to it😆
LOVE this video! thanks for being so articulate and to the point :)
This is my first time seeing your video! Omg, you are so pretty, and i like the way you explain to us about the product, very detail and give much informations! Thanks a lot!❤️ Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much
It helped massively with my skin texture and those under the skin bumps. I use it once daily in the evening
how long did it take for you to see results?
A few weeks. I’m a couple of months in and very pleased with results
Do you know if it’s for an uneven skin tone? Like is it good for dark spots?
I don’t have dark spots so can’t comment on that specifically. I did have blotchy red skin and I do feel that this has drastically improved. The only change to my routine is this product so I put it down to that :)
Do you have oily skin?
It’s made such a difference for me after a month of using it. My skin was dull and congested before and it’s kinda not at all now?! The hype is justified! I’m gonna experiment with waiting 30 mins after applying, ty for the heads up 💛
so glad it worked for u! by the way, whats ur skin type? i have combo acne prone skin and idk if i should use it or not
Muchas gracias por los subtítulos 💖 me ayudaron a entender mucho mejor todo sobre Paula’s Choice✨
You are awesome and this was so helpful. PS your skin is glowing and perfection!
Love you girl! Keep going! More content on fungal acne and close comedones , and also eye creams for a super sensitive skin 🙏🏻🙏🏻!
Hey! I just saw your comment - I have very sensitive and really dry skin around my eyes and the QV eye cream has saved my life. Couldn’t recommend more!
👋🏼 Hello!♥️ you are amazing!!😇 you do take the time to explain, simple and honestly!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍👍👍 thank you for the time u put in your videos! I kindly appreciate it!🥰🌷🌷🌷
Subscribed! This is my first video that I’ve watched from your Chanel, your editing style is so cute and simple! Reminds me of the tv series Lizzie McGuire!
Wow never seen the parts of the video labeled when I want to fast forward! So useful thank you
Thanks for making this video!! I just bought the mini size to test it out and I wasn’t sure exactly how to use it. This video helped so much and was so informative thank you!!💗😌
i just got this product in the mail today! i got the mini version and it came to like $12CAD and free shipping! i’m super excited to try it i’ll keep y’all posted
UPDATE: i’m loving this product so far. i had pimples and red bumps on my forehead that were really bothering me, but they’re all going away/fading and it looks the best it has in a while. i also had some blemishes around my mouth area that are fading too. i’ve been using it every two nights after cleansing. i don’t moisturize after applying it because my skin feels hydrated enough, i moisturize in the mornings instead. i am noticing some dryness on my cheek area around my nose. i think my skin is ready to move up to every other night, so i’ll try that and see how it goes. it’s important to remember though that i haven’t been using it long enough to definitively give my opinion on it. it could be a coincidence that my skin is looking better, it could be from something else and not this product. i’ll come back in a few weeks with more updates. but so far so good!
@@TelinaASMR so i could use this around my neck ? i’m suffering from hyperpigmentation 😔
glryboyvon yeah i’m pretty sure you’re able to use it on your neck too!
How did it go after 10 months?
@Anika Ch hiii so I think it’s better to use at night. However, I don’t use it very often anymore since my skin got really clear and I don’t need to
I'm glad that you talked about using the reusable pads. I was wondering about that
I came across your video today and finally decided to purchase it! Need to see what the hype is about 😄 I usually use clean hands over cotton pads to pay in my products so this is gonna work perfectly! Super excited 😊
Can I get an update if this product improved your skin or not? I'm thinking about getting this myself
just got this product a couple of weeks ago and had no idea how to use it, so this is soooo helpful
🙋🏻 yes I do want a video on pH and layering. Thank youuu
I bought this today and I’m really excited! Thanks for all the info, xoxo
This is crazy I just bought mine today and I was researching how to use it! ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you!
hii this is a year ago but, but since u alr used it,, will it work on combo-to oily skin or oily skin? or if ure not sure, what type of skin do u have and did it work
@@noorb4371 hi there! I have oily and acne-prone skin, it works great for me! I use it immediately after cleansing once a week at night and layer my moisturizer 20-30 mins after this product. Then I wake up with instantly softer skin around my t-zone and pores.
@@shubaraj1458 thats great omg thank you but one question , i have little bumps or “closed comedones” on my forehead kinda, will this product clear it if i use it once/twice a week like u do?
@@shubaraj1458 do u only use once a week? Or few times
@@noorb4371 yes I think it should definitely help with that
Ive been using this for a year and it’s my holy grail. I use it everyday day and night and my skin has never looked better
I am going to buy thissss :)
@@heisisjshshshhehehens6374 youre going to love it!!
@@x.xsherlyn7687 Does it help with pores and texture bc that's my main concern ? x
@Anika Ch once a week
Thank you for the helpful video on this product! I'm currently using the CosRX BHA Blackhead Liquid which is quite gentle for my sensitive oily/ acne-prone. I like it, but I'm interested in a stronger formulation for hot summer months 😊 I might try this next after I finish CosRX and I don't mind the hydrating feel as I use BHA exclusively at night.
I have a video suggestion: winter skincare tips and recommendations.
Omgggg ur videos are so High quality! I AM OBSESSED 🤩 I literally thought u would have 1 million followers ahhhh
What a backhanded “complement”
@@Aar02975 tf that’s not backhanded what so ever
wauw i litterly got mine today the toner and exfoliator, and this video popped on my recommendations. Thankyouuu needed thiss.
How does it smell like? Someone said in the pinned comment it smells like nail polish. :/
@@peachy7586 it does smell like nail polish but not that bad
@@peachy7586 my first initial thought was that it also smelled like nail polish, but it's not as severe or pungent. It's more like...a small whiff of nail polish
i am loving this too! thank you for posting this 🥰
In chem II, I learned that when mixing a strong base with a weak acid it forms a strong base still but it will fluctuate briefly (same with strong acid and weak base). So I think with both being acidic and the BHA formula being lower in pH (more acidic) it should still do its job especially if you give time for each product to get soaked into the skin before applying the next skincare product.
This product is AMAZING! My face skin is so sensitive and reactive I gave up skincare routines until I had a huge stubborn breakouts. I gave this a go and just few days in my skin is loving it!I had an overnight result. Amazing:)
OMG I HOPE THIS HAPPENS FOR ME TOO. I JUST ORDERED IT FROM AMAZON!!!!. ILL UPDATE U WHENEVER I GET IT😍
@@cadebeitler4139 Have you gotten it yet?
@@cadebeitler4139 Hey! how’d it work out?! mines coming in tomorrow and my skin texture has been bothering me so muchhh
This is the first video I've watched on this channel and it was sooo helpful! Thanks 😁
I love that you addressed the debate going on about Ph levels- I usually just use niacinamide at night and bha during the day because of that. I mean who knows?!?
But what about moisturizer?
My skin felt better just watching this video
I absolutely love this product I bought the trail for £9 I ran out last week so I bought the 118ml one ♥ best product that has worked for me
Girl you’re a LIFESAVER
I just ordered this and I'm so excited. Thanks for the info!
Absolutely love you videos. As a male I as so lost who to listen too and trust when it comes to skin care, but your videos are fun and so informative. I honestly really appreciate all the detailed info with a smile...so thank you Cathy :-)
Thank you for not saying “like” after every other word! Subscribed ❤️
I've clicked 'like' right away 👍 and subscribed her
this video was exactly what i needed!! thank you so much!!!!
This video was so helpful, thank you so much.
i've only been using this for a little over two weeks now but i've already seen a huge improvement in my hormonal acne. definitely buying again!
Hi:)
After using this should we clean with water or not?
@@s.m9224 the instruction says not to so i do not! i usually go in with my moisturizer then.
I've been using this product for the last 2 years. It's amazing. I have a 7 step skin care routine I do every night and I've noticed that when my skin is more dry during winter, the toner and BHA exfoliant together makes my skin even more dry in certain places. I'm going to try waiting a while in-between applications and see if that helps. Thanks for the advice!
Hey Danielle! Would you mind sharing your skin care routine? My skin is acne prone and I’ve been trying to find the best possible skin care routine.
Thank you so much! You answered every single one of my questions keep it up!🖤
love this!!!! Thank you for being so informative
This is my 2nd purchase of the 30mL size and I love the result. But I waited at least 10 minutes before I use the next product (which in my case is a vitamin C) so it absorbed completely without messing with the exfoliant’s pH. As result is my face pH becomes lower and the vitamin C absorbs better. *don’t forget the spf!!!!*
omg thanks for this i was trying to find a comment because i want to use my vitamin c after this but i was scared if it wasn’t gonna work. has it helped your skin ?
@@sseemm9860 I did ask Paula's choice on insta and they replied that you can use vitamin c serum after it.
@@nayabghazali5455 thank. I wanted to know because the video mentioned about too much acid.
@Angelina Tricia how long did the 30ml bottle last?
We can use vitamin c after this?
I love this product. Super anti inflammatory, no stinging or burning, and helps tremendously with acne/congested pores. I have rosacea and hormonal acne. Yesterday I had a flare up from getting dermaplaned and this calmed my skin so much that today when I woke up my skin looked amazing/way less red. Will 100% keep purchasing this product. Esthetician approved
Hey really helpful comment as i have rosacea prone skin. I ordered this but kinda afraid to use it. How long you are using it?
@@fahmizaraminahossain7305 I got it in my gratis since I work at Sephora, about 3 weeks ago? It’s been great for my skin! It’s not drying at all, it’s actually really hydrating. It gives your skin an insane glow. Not drying at all like most BHA products. I’m combo/dry so I love that it balances my skin but doesn’t dry me out. Highly recommend this to anyone dealing with acne/uneven texture/dead skin cell buildup
Your smile is so warm☺
I LOVE YOU,YOURE SO HELPFUL
I have been using Paula's Choice for few weeks and layering it with acure serum which has niacinamide without any waiting. I hv been breaking out less and post acne marks appear better. I think layering serum right away is not affecting the efficiency of the Paula's Choice and i can feel my skin is getting better with combination of these two.
You’re so pretty!! And your videos are super informative :)) I just started using this product and I agree it’s amazingggg
One question... I use the ole Hendrikse toner usually and that is loaded with ahas. It is okay to layer both?
Gosh we need more contents!!!Your videos are very informative!!All the best wishes!
you're my favourite skincare influencer. love you 🫶
Sephora now sells a mini bottle of this!! I was so thankful to be able to try it before buying the larger bottle!
Me too
Your Channel is so professional, you’ll definitely get far!
I ordered this and it came in the mail! Can’t wait to try it tonight!!❤️
Did you like it? Would you recommend the product?
Coming back to this video after buying it and I totally recommend it
Thank youuuuu. Would love to hear more about The Inkey List retinol
Hey Cathy! Could you talk about the PC AHA exfoliant on its own and in conjunction with the BHA exfoliant?
literally just got this yesterday and had no idea how to use it ahhhh tysm!!!!1
I just got mine last night! Excited ☺️
Thank you so much for this video! It is very informative.
Also, i love the speed you talk at! I find it hard to absorb all of the information when people talk too fast. Thank you!
I really like your video, english is not my mother tongue but i know what exactly you’re talking about without add any subtitles.
Thank you, I literally just ran into this product and I already use the ordinary Niacinamide. Def goin to purchase
Can I use it with niacinamide?
@@isratoishee4788 your better off if you don’t
@@elisantana5717 am I able to use the ordinarys alpha arbutin HA afterwards?
This video was so educational!! Thank you for this 💕
pls ur my fav skincare youtuber 😿
i have this sitting in my drawer cause i dont know how to use and get results. so THANKYOUUU for this vid!
I really enjoyed this video!! You seem like a pretty swell person :-)
Thanks. I learnt bout layering products but never considered bout pH mixing until I watch this video.
Thank you for sharing, I've been wanting to buy this product but have been nervous. This was so helpful!
The editing is so on point Cathy. What software do you use?
Hi, love the video! Can I use cerave foaming cleanser, pixi clarity toner and the paula’s choice 2% BHA liquid exfoliant and finishing off with cerave moisturiser? I also have combination skin so I’m wondering is this a good product for me as I do really want to try it due to the amazing reviews I’ve heard
On my 3rd year of working with hormonal acne and I can say to you, FINALLY. This works :')
I also didn't purge and saw results within 1 week of using. I use Cetaphil daily cleanser (fragrance free) and this + a mad hippie moisturizer and booya. Everybody's face is different
Wow such an amazing & informative video! Thank you!:)
I would love to see a differen gel review
I learned thst BHA is kind of like Drano for your pores. It’s going to unclog congested pores, so they are clear and that helps with reducing the look of enlarged pores as they can widen and appear more noticeable from being congested- large pores can be from other factors too tho, like genetics and environmental factors.. I’ve heard it’s great for those annoying sebaceous fillaments (idk how to spell that lol) often on your nose and frequently be mistaken for blackheads... I hate those! I found AHAs- glycolic acid especially, are also helpful for these, I’d use a 10% peel once a week, focusing on these problem areas but I do like it all over plus my neck and chest... it will tingle or sting a little, especially at first but it’s tolerable over time
Trying this now to see if it does anything for the small amount of blackheads I get and to try and smooth out my face in general. Thanks for the valuable info!
Any update??
You are one of my favorite RUclipsr 😍🥰 and oh I just subscribed to your channel 🤩
So i can use niacinamide and hyaluronic acid from the ordinary in Monday wednesday thursday and weekend And BHA paulas choince on Tuesday and friday? :)
I love PC! Their BHA is my to go chemical exfoliator. It’s my favorite! Works perfectly, helping me with the overall appearance of my skin. Will continue to repurchase this until the end of time!
How often do you apply it
@@sofia-qh3mj hi! if you’re a first time user I recommend to try it 2x a week slowly introduce it into your skin until your face adapt and can tolerate active such as BHA. I use mine atleast 3x a week, I don’t really use it every night.
Is used this for a few months and it was too much for my skin, so I left it for about 6 months before deciding to give it another go (no idea why, i think cause it was there in my cupboard and felt like wasting). Second time around? Has made my skin look and feel so good! I don't understand it, but now my skin loves it!
I loooooove your hair!!!
