Hi
I live in the UK and suffered acne for years.
I've been using Paula's Choice for about a year and a half now and I am just so grateful to have found her products available in Europe. I noticed today that they have now opened a specific UK site which sells in £ and not € which is great since the exchange rate is rubbish for € right now.
The BHA 2% liquid has been an amazing product (I started on the 1% lotion). It was so hard to find anything on the UK domestic market that gave you the salicylic % that was recommended as most beneficial.

The Paula's Choice website info about acne and BHA vs AHA exfolliants was a big lightbulb moment. The videos are a fantastic source of no b**l. I love that she debunks the myths because so many times I have been tempted to buy into 'miracle' treatments.

Knowing about the need for exfoliation with acne skin I had a series of AHA peels in the past. It made my skin SO bad I wept at having wasted £250 on 6 treatments that made me look worse than at the start. There is so little in the UK that is BHA - and no therapists seem to know about the differences. So it was great relief to understand why the AHA peel had not worked.

The gist of my email is - Paula's Choice BHA 2% liquid has made a (and I'm not kidding when I say this) life changing difference to my skin and face and outlook on the world. I was plagued by '
ok days' and '
bag-on-head days' for years. The only thing that ever worked consistently was Minocyn MR antibiotics - but you just
can't be on those things forever.
Now I don't not worry about spots because I very rarely get them and if I do I just put an extra dab of BHA on them. I also use sunscreen scrupulously everyday as I now get how important that is for anti-aging (previously I didn't use it because: 's
un is good for skin - right?' -oh dear!!).
I wish Paula's choice info and products had been available in the UK years ago and I might have been able to spend just a little bit more of my fast fading youth in a more confident way and not hiding from the embarrassing stares of (what I felt was) people looking at my never ending zits and breakout.
I also use Paula's Choice Skin balancing Cleanser and Moisture Boost Hydrating Toner plus her 45 SPF non-greasy face sunscreen. But I use Estee Lauder Moisturisers because one of my relatives works for them and I think getting top price creams at a huge discount is not to be ignored.
My one gripe about Paula's Choice is the price

. If you were a student/young person (quite likely to be suffering from bad skin) the products would probably have to be strictly Xmas or birthday wish list. £18.75 for 1 product is very steep and you always need to add postage (which in the past has ran from £9.95-£6.95). Having said that – I know it works for me so I pay up because a breakout is just not worth it.
I will be scooting around this site to pick up hints and tips on products that are consistently listed as good. My new issue is anti-aging (it never stops does it!).

Paula’s Choice is definitely worth a go.
Best of luck with your skin search
