To discover three of the core Paula’s Choice ranges, enjoy our round-up below.

Paula’s Choice Skincare Ranges

Paula’s Choice Resist

Although Paula doesn’t believe this range is strictly for mature skin, the Resist range is a targeted anti-ageing collection that is suitable for anyone looking to prevent and care for the visible signs of ageing. The range caters for Normal-Dry as well as Combination-Oily, offering light daily moisturisers, correcting treatments, retinols and hydrating creams, which work in harmony to minimise fine lines, improve skin texture and refine the pores.

Paula’s Choice Liquid Exfoliants

Two products that Paula’s Choice is most known for are her AHA’s and BHA’s. To learn more about AHA’s, read our dedicated blog post: What is Glycolic Acid?. In essence, AHA’s refer to Glycolic and Lactic Acids whilst BHA’s refer to Salicylic Acid.

AHA’s are liquid exfoliants that smooth and resurface the skin surface, draw away impurities and reduce the buildup of dead skin cells. The general advice from dermatologists is to begin using AHA’s on the skin gradually and starting with a low concentration on a non-regular basis. Once the skin becomes more used to the acid toner, you can build up the intensity. For those with sensitive skin, AHA’s should be used with caution not to irritate the skin. In addition, AHA must always be used in conjunction with a daily SPF.

BHA’s are recommended for those with oily and sensitive skin as this is a more gentle ingredient. Helping to boost moisture, reduce breakouts and gently exfoliate the skin, Salicylic Acid is a great choice for young adults and those with hormonal skin. Paula’s Choice BHA’s are also enriched with Green Tea Extract to calm and soothe the complexion.
