They are all around us. It could be your mother, sister-in-law, the person who was waiting at the same bus stop as you this morning. Paula’s Choice die-hard fans are everywhere, and even if you’ve never heard of this cult-favourite brand yourself, there is a high chance that someone in your inner circle has.

And you might be able to identify them by their radiant, youthful and clear skin, or the extra dosh they’ve got in the bank because they are clued in to the skincare brand that achieves results at an extremely affordable price.
Founded by – yes you guessed it – a woman by the name of Paula Begoun, the brand was developed because Begoun spied a gap in the market for affordable, scientifically-backed ingredients that will actually deliver results and won’t trigger irritation.
With ranges catering to those with super sensitive skin, dull skin, dry skin, rapidly ageing skin, oily skin or just perfectly normal skin, there is a block-coloured bottle waiting for you no matter your skin type, concerns or goals.
The only downfall? Being unable to decide exactly what you need to add to cart. So, do your t-zone a favour and have a squizz through our absolute favourites from Paula’s Choice.

I haven't tried any of the products from this brand. I like that they offer a range of mini's which is a helpful way to try the products and not over commit.
I've never tried this brand before, but love that it has such a wide range.
The SPF30 and the exfoliant peel both sound great – I've never tried any of Paula products before.
Have never tried, but I have a vague recollection of hearing of them before
I have tried some makeup back when Paula did that. Was obsessed with her ' Don't Go To The Beauty Counter Without Me' books for reviews of products. Got every one then she stopped doing the books and the reviews went on her online site ' The Beauty Detective'.
Have seen this brand quite a bit but never tried it.
Haven't tried this brand.

I would love to try all the products listed. You dont know until you give them a go.
I have to admit that I've never tried PC products, but I visit their website regularly to check out ingredients. Probably should give them a try. I like the sound of those boosters.
I’ve never tried her products but remember when her book “Don’t go to the beauty counter without me” came out.
I've not heard of this brand before.
I also haven’t tried any products from this brand. I must make an effort to try one of the ones listed above. The peel sounds good

I have only used the Azelaic Acid which I really love.

I have heard lots of good thing about the 2% BHA LIQUID EXFOLIANT

This is one brand I've never gotten around to trying
I read somewhere that their azelaic acid is no longer available for purchase in Australia due to some regulation. 🙁
