10 day difference!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 March 2020

This product arrived on the 21st Feb and today, ten days later, this is what my skin looks like. I have recently come off of my acne antibiotics and my skin instantly flared up again with sore white heads, papules and redness. Since adding this BHA into my skincare routine, this is the only change I have made, my skin's redness has significantly reduced, the texture is so soft (even my fiance has commented) and the spots have gone down a lot with no new ones! I'm not sure if it helps with scarring but we'll see... For now, I am a happy customer and will definitely be buying the full size bottle when my mini runs out 👌🏽

DO NOT BUY!!! PRODUCT 6 YEARS OUT OF DATE

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 September 2021

I have used this before and absolutely loved it and wanted to reorder, I originally got it off of the Paulas Choice website but they were out of stock so I checked for it on here. Once my product got here I noticed it felt different to my older bottle and checked the label and saw it was from 2016!!!! It had a strange smell and stung my face and as soon as I realised I washed it off. They are selling out of date and gone off products and passing them off as current. Disgusting.

Good stuff, annoying bottle, better value for money elsewhere

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 January 2020

Size Name: 30 ml (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

I bought this because The Ordinary are reformulating my go-to salicylic acid serum which means it’s out of stock everywhere.

This does basically the exact same thing as TO’s offering obviously - unclogging pores and keeping my problem skin under control. 2% is the highest strength you’re going to find so both are great options. In terms of performance they’re indistinguishable.

I think I actually like this one better as a formula - it feels slightly moisturising in a way that TO’s doesn’t, which is reassuring when I don’t want my skin to dry out too much over night. The application / bottle design is so silly though - you’re going to waste so much product if you put it on a cotton pad so the directions feel like a con to make you use more than you need. I just drip it into clean palms and apply but as it’s very liquid that can get a bit messy and it just has a weird hole opening at the top. Paula’s Choice probably need to steal TO’s idea and get themselves some dropper bottles. It’s also plastic packaging compared to the glass of TO which can be recycled indefinitely where plastic can’t - not great from a sustainability point of view, P’sC!

All in all, very good and I prefer the formula slightly over other HG salicylics, but as it’s more expensive than other high-performing salicylic serums and comes in an annoying bottle that’s also plastic I’m not a convert. I will probably go back to The Ordinary once theirs is back in stock.

10/10 recommend for dry acne prone skin

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 February 2020

Size Name: 30 ml (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

Lovely product for congested skin, doesn't feel like it dries up your skin, it is quite a bit moisturizing even if you do not follow up with an actual moisturizer. As you can see in the photo when I received the product I had quite a lot of active pimples and my skin was feeling terrible and congested, the second picture is after around 2 weeks of using the product and I have got no active pimples just acne scars that are fading.

Amazing!!!!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 August 2019

Size Name: 30 ml (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

Have struggled with open pores and bumpy uneven skin for years, and more recently have had some problems with hormonal acne. This is a life-changer. My skin is smoother, it looks dewy and healthy for the first time ever and I haven't had any new spots in weeks! Be prepared for a little bit of purging and dryness initially - I had some new spots and flakiness in the first three days but it cleared up so quickly.
Note, it says put it on a cotton pad but I just put it on with my hands as so much is wasted in the cotton pads and it's too expensive for that!!

A skincare essential.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 December 2020

Hi everyone. I never post written reviews but felt like I had to for his product.

First of all let me say I’m a beginner at skincare lol. I suffer with hypothyroidism which causes me to have constant acne, specifically on my chin. I was sad about how it looked and tired of the scarring, I searched and watched a thousand videos of what to buy and never found anything that truly worked for me.

I stumbled upon SACHEU’s skincare video where she talks highly about this product and how great it is for acne. Unsure about it because of the letdowns of products in the past I decided to buy the smaller version because the bigger one seems a bit pricey.

I’ve only been using this product for about 2 weeks and I’ve not had a single pimple or acne spot on my face!!!! After only using it for 3 days my acne at the time started to slowly fade. I still have scars but believe me they look a million times better than before and this stuff seems to be helping my scars fade away!!!

Please please please if you’re similar to me and worried about buying, go ahead and do so!!! I will definitely be buying the bigger version in the future and it will be staying in my skincare routine for life haha!!

Sorry for the long review, I hope you all enjoy your day, thank you for taking the time to read.

I never really write reviews but honestly this stuff works!! I have used a few drops on a cotton pad twice a day and within a couple of days my skin is already so much better. The small bumps under my skin that have been there for about 18 months have gone and my skin feels really smooth. Honestly so worth the money and thank you to whoever Paula is!!!!

Only been using 3 days and can already see the change in redness to my skin. It is too expensive to put on a cotton pad I just do a few drops in my hands and put it all over my face twice a day.

A game-changer!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 February 2020

Size Name: 30 ml (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

In short, this lives up to the hype. It has a noticeable effect immediately - after one use, at night, my skin felt really smooth and looked better, almost like a blurring of the pores and skin texture but most impressively, I had absolutely no oily patches. I have a very oily T-zone and all my life I’ve woken with up each morning aware of this horrible greasy skin in the middle of my face: it’s completely gone! Even if I felt no other effects, it’s worth it for that. I have now bought the full-size bottle. I’ve tried similar products and I don’t know what the difference is but for me at least, this is revolutionary stuff. Very pleased 😊

It’s New Old Stock

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 September 2021

Size Name: 30 ml (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

So this is NOS, which is disappointing. You can see it dated feb 2016 (got it Sept 2021)

Luckily salicylic acid and green tea extract doesn’t really go bad, so the actives in the serum should still work.

But considering it’s not even at a lower price, it’s a bit of a rip off. This is the last time I buy skincare on Amazon.
