Out of all of the boosters in PC’s line this is my favourite. My skin texture is somewhat rough at times and this helps to clarify my skin, calm sensitivity and gently exfoliate. It has a cream gel te...Read more

Made me break out with a sensitivity reaction. PC, like a lot of companies, chooses to put salicylic acid (BHA) in their product. Thus, you’re exfoliating your skin everytime you use this product. My ...Read more

LOOOOOVE this product so much! Wish I hadn’t waited so long to try this because it has a permanent place in my daily skin care routine. For reference, I have dry, sensitive skin with a lot of surfac...Read more

It's a really underrated product to use on acneic skins as it not only helps address breakouts (due to being antibacterial [effective against Propionibacterium acnes, which is important because there ...Read more

so good! it's a bit strong, so I only use it every other night. Whenever I use this (mixed with ELTA MDS LASER GEL) my face is so much more calm in the mornings. This is a temporary relief, so it won'...Read more

This product is great. It has made a visible impact on my skin. It has greatly reduced the redness at the corners/creases of my nose and using it, combined with 4% hydroquinone, has significantly ligh...Read more

Azelaic acid is an ingredient that will cause a purge. To shorten the experience, get a good derm office to do a facial with extractions first. Now that that’s been said, this product alone (along w...Read more

I really wanted this product to work! It felt nice on the skin both alone or mixed with a simple moisturizer (CeraVe lotion) but broke me out every time I used it. Had no effect on pores. Returned

I'm teetering on the fence about this. I really want it to work, so much that I decided to try it in spite of the dimethicone. Which, let's face it, is always trouble for me. But in this product it's ...Read more

This is a white cream in a tube that had rave reviews on Paula's site, so I thought I'd try it for my acne and hyperpigmentation. While I don't find the results as amazing as those reviews, I did see ...Read more
