Paula's Choice Review
Paid $25 for overnight shipping on a $300+ order. The order was extremely late. Customer service is a joke. Live chat doesn't work and telephone doesn't work. Their ingredients can be found in less expensive product that works just the same. I find them completely useless as a brand.
Tip for consumers:Avoid this brand at all cost
Products used:PERFECTING 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant, RESIST Optimal Results Hydrating Cleanser, RESIST Daily Smoothing Treatment with 5% AHA, RESIST Skin Restoring Moisturizer with SPF 50, RESIST Barrier Repair Moisturizer with Retinol, SKIN BALANCING Pore-Reducing Toner, Hyaluronic Acid + Peptide Lip Booster, SKIN PERFECTING 25% AHA + 2% BHA Exfoliant Peel

Date of experience: February 2, 2023First customer service is Terrific. Consultation required, no problem.
Disappointed that cosmetics are discontinued
However, the products are fantastic
If one has very sensitive skin, on meds, contact your Dr show products and ingredients.
Their are active ingredients that may cause a reaction
Paula has many different selections for different skin types.
There is no such thing as hyper allergic
Next, again wonderful service. There was a 25% off sale. Unfortunately, I was broke that month
I received a rain check
Additionally, another plus, check the rebates sites
I was quite Ill stopped my beauty routine.
A disaster.
Wish could show before and after.
My husband has complimented me.
Lastly, have used her products for years. Additionally, I look up reviews on beautypedia.
Date of experience: July 2, 2018So I initially thought this was a great company and had bought several of the travel size items and sets. The first time I look to buy full sized, full priced items, they embarrass themselves. It's been 2 weeks waiting for my order so far and the customer service agents don't seem concerned, which makes me think they are all aware of an internal issue. The 2nd agent didn't even apologise until I asked for it. What have they done to their staff?!? Is it the changes implemented by Unilever? Is my product, whenever it arrives going to be OK? The same quality? Has 2 weeks of transit made any difference to its efficacy?
I'm sad but not too troubled as although I won't be using this company anymore, I know several outlets that sell these products. Even ebay has their stuff. I never have to use their company again and don't recommend anyone else does either. What's the point when you can buy from loads of other places, sometimes cheaper and with better customer services and delivery times.
Good luck Paula!
Tip for consumers:Terrible customer services
Products used:I have previously used the the BHA and cleansing lotion. I have the booster thingy. I have ordered more but don't have it yet

Date of experience: May 31, 2024I had recently placed an order with Paula's Choice and the ship to address was my old one, so I never received it. I called customer service and explained what happened and they immediately shipped me out a new order to my correct address. That's the best customer service I have ever received. Highly recommend them and their products.
Date of experience: September 1, 2020I order from them and the shipping is fast. It will say that I'm getting my order one day, but then it's here sooner! Couldn't ask for better shipping and the products always come nicely packaged and have never been damaged. I love that products are unscented for those that are sensitive. Sending a package back is easy too. I would highly recommend!

Date of experience: October 10, 2022I have very sensitive skin and have always had trouble finding a good solution until I found Paula's Choice products. My skin did not ger irritated at all (like it normally does) and I saw a visible reduction in my fine lines and wrinkles. It is a miracle product!
Date of experience: May 19, 2014I got into looking at skincare more seriously in the past two years because I started getting acne and needed something to clean my dead skin cells etc etc. I also have had strawberry skin growing up so I've been using this bha body treatment lotion and it's been working really well! Highly recommend checking out Paulas Choice products if you haven't yet :)
Date of experience: May 30, 2022Run away. Online billing rigged to keep requesting payment. I realized I was being double billed when Paulas Choice asked for 3rd payment. After hours waiting for customer assistance and being disconnected, I knew they got me. I refused to accept packages and it's impossible to get a refund. Bad bad outfit.
Paula should be ashamed of her money grab.
Tip for consumers:Stay away from online ordering! Call order in
during limited hours and plan on long hold and being disconnected.
Products used:Refused packages

Date of experience: August 23, 2021Horrible horrible company. I tried their 2% bha and it dried my skin out so badly. My face looked like a snake. And THE ONLY reason i tried this product is because I THOUGHT i could get my money back if I didnt like it. That's what they tell you. You have to pay shipping to return their items YOURSELF. They dont cover that part. So im paying 5 bucks to return a 25 item. Bull crap company. Will never ever try anything else from here again. They are dead to me.
Date of experience: February 17, 2020I just tried this product today. I am totally pleased. I put foundation on over it, and it looks like I have a primer underneath. It's expensive, but I just used a tiny bit for my whole face. I do not have smooth skin, but I look like I do now. It's not greasy. My face looks firmer and hydrated. So happy.
Date of experience: October 16, 2023The products are better than what is found at a drugstore for less money than products at a department store. They often have sales and samples. Some items are available in travel sizes. I love that the products aren't tested on animals.
Date of experience: April 1, 2018There is basically no customer service from Paula's Choice. So disappointing waiting weeks for your order, and when contacting customer service, there is no response. I have been a customer for years and have spent thousands of dollars, unreal!
Date of experience: May 19, 2020I originally found Paula's Choice on forums for KP, and they're great! Most of the products I've gotten for them have been super effective and great for sensitive skin, and for the few that I got that weren't, they gave me a full refund, plus a consultation with a skin care expert to figure out what I should purchase instead. Super great experience overall!

Date of experience: September 16, 2014I purchased a jacket 11/14/21 and I have still not received it. The only response I have received was an email stating my item has been shipped. I got this email 3 times and still no jacket. Each time the tracking number included in these emails is not registered with the USPS. THIS COMPANY IS A FRAUD. BUYERS BEWARE
Date of experience: December 20, 2021I spent four decades suffering from misdiagnosed eczema and hundreds of wasted dollars and days in dermatologist offices until I found Paula's Choice! The site is a bonanza of scientifically based beauty advice and reviews of almost every beauty product made. I first found through reading her book that I had rosacea and not eczema, thus all the waste. My skin had open, bleeding, painful sores that spread. Nice, huh?
I just followed her advice and had clear skin for the first time I could remember! Then I thought, if her advice is so good, why not try her products? Wow! I live in Canada and I received my delivery in 3 days. The postage was pennies, they don't make money off shipping like other sites and the products are so amazing and inexpensive. Her return policy is impeccable and they respond immediately to your? S, live if you like and go out of their way to help you. I have recommended her to all my friends. You can use this company with complete confidence. I will be a customer for life. Just see what real miracles look like!
My only con is that, occasionally, I disagree with the reviews. I find scrolling down and reading customer reviews more helpful in deciding which product to pick.
Date of experience: September 22, 2015I adore my body. That is why I decided to buy some cosmetics from this brand. I bought some hair care complex and body lotion. I really like how it smells and works well. My recommendation!
Date of experience: November 12, 2019I could only get AHA/BHA lotion from this website. They don't sell it at Sephora or Shoppers. The delivery was very fast and I am a happy camper ever since.
Date of experience: September 6, 2019I definate yes for this brand for sure. I swear by this product it does the job very well and leaves me looking flawless
