I planned on waiting a couple of weeks before giving this product a review, however recent events persuaded me to write one sooner. After tons of research and paying almost $50 for it, I figured I'd give this product an honest try. Opening the bottle I thought, "how much could a thin watery liquid really improve the sebaceous filaments and blackheads on my nose?" I was wary about whether Paula's choice stuff would actually work considering I've tried so many different products to deal with my strawberry nose. But I tried it out and gave it an honest go. After about the 3rd day I noticed my pores were considerably empty. They were still the same size, but no longer filled with oily blackened gunk. I was pleasantly surprised, yet suspicious. After so many trials with other products that ended in disappointment I was cautious about whether this was actually working or not, or if the results would last. Even still, I noticed a drastic improvement in my pore's appearance.
Then a coworker commented on my skin. She said it was looking "amazing" and particularly my nose was looking incredible. She inquired about what I was using. I'm a 30 year old man and this was an unsolicited observation about the pores on my nose. I've tried so many different things to deal with the large gunk pores on my nose (derma rolling, retinoid creams, glycolic acid peels, facial cleansers, exfoliants, etc...) however this 2% salicylic acid exfoliant has worked the best thus far.
After doing some research I found out that BHA acid (salicylic aid) is a small enough molecule to penetrate deep into the pores and chip away at the dense hardened oil buildup thats inside the pores which gives them their distended appearance. Its been over a week now, and my pores are looking as empty as they've ever looked and are also shrinking. I exfoliate with an abrasive sponge in the shower and hope that continuous use of this product, along with regular exfoliation, will result in small looker pores. Even though its been only over a week I notice drastic improvements in my pore's appearance.
Je l'utilise depuis une semaine, une fois tous les deux jours avant de m'endormir et avant l'application de ma crème de nuit, et aujourd'hui mon mari m'a surprise en me faisant remarquer que j'avais une peau particulièrement belle par rapport à d'habitude. J'ai commencé à l'utiliser en même temps que la crème cicalfate+ de chez Avène, donc à voir s'il s'agit de l'un ou l'autre de ces produits qui améliore l'état de ma peau, en tout cas la combinaison des deux me va très bien !
Il s'agit d'un exfoliant très doux, moi qui ait la peau très réactive et sensible habituellement, je n'ai eu aucune réaction. De plus le produit n'a aucune couleur ni aucune odeur, j'ai même d'abord cru au début qu'il s'agissait d'eau, ça m'avait mis un doute sur son efficacité. Finalement je suis séduite, je rachèterai probablement lorsque j'aurais fini le mien.
Par contre faites attention à la taille du produit, j'ai été très surprise lors de sa réception lorsque je me suis rendue compte que la bouteille n'était pas plus grande que mon doigt.
I thought I’d give this a go from a recommendation never expecting it to make such a difference. After reaching the menopause I found my skin to be inconsistent - sometimes dry, sometimes dehydrated and sometimes blotchy. However the greatest issue I had was the lower neck, upper chest area which developed deep wrinkles, often hot and somehow lumpy.
I bought the small bottle and wasn’t surprised by the small size having read the other reviews. However, 4 small drops daily for 2 weeks, followed by 4 small drops daily for both my husband and I (he seems to end up using most of my products!) lasted a further 8 weeks which equates to approximately 4 months supply using it once a day.
I does have a slight smell, which I love and is not overpowering or offensive. It is absorbed quickly and you can use sun cream or moisturiser straight afterwards.
The difference was noticeable within 7-10 days and after about 3 weeks I realised I will never be without it again. I’ve since bought the biggest size and sometimes use it twice a day. Excellent for uneven skin tone and fine lines plus the clearing up more problematic areas. It does recommend using it sparingly at first so I do recommend buying the small bottle to see if it is suitable. Whilst I’ve gone on to the large bottle, I’ve bought the small one for my overnight/holiday bag, it’s that good.
