This product for example is a BHA even though it isn't labeled as such. It's just one more targeted for acne. Others are for all skin types (liquid), gel for oily, lotion for dry, resist 9 for very stubborn small areas. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> hope that helps!

Yes that's it.  Thank you, you've been a huge help!

 
Without this thread I would not know anything about Paula´s Choice and I would also not know anything about BHA exfoliation! Now I can´t imagine to live without an BHA exfoliater!!!

I ran out of my cleanser, but this is my current collection. I've used every type of her products (for my skin type) including foundation.

Your collection is crazy! Thanks to the sampling I am used now also to have like 5 steps in my skin regime- but wow- you have like 20 steps! LOL!

Nah I actually only have a few, but my skin changes during different seasons. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Currently I use a cleanser, sometimes a toner, my BHA, serum, and a moisturizer. If I'm not using a foundation I use a moisturizer with SPF (I have two of those, one I like in summer and one for winter) and if I'm wearing foundation I prefer the regular moisturizer. I have the mask for when I get really dry (winter every few days) and I sleep in that. The Resist 9 I only use a few times a month when I break out (I almost never break out now thanks to the BHA), and I don't really use the brightening stuff... it doesn't do much for me. So it looks like a lot, but really it's just added up. I'll use it all up eventually! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Just watch out that they don't expire before you use them! ;-)
 
I actually got the same response from Ziaja. I responded back that I understood, and that I would look into purchasing when I could afford to, since it was affordable. And then I got a response saying they were sorry they had to respond that way and that they would send samples. I believe they sent a goats milk day cream and then another body cream? They are on the bigger side of samples..... I haven't tried them yet. It's nice to have something affordable as an option. I do agree though, nobody would have heard of this company without this thread. Oh well!

 
I tried the Paula's choice hydra light because they were out of the balancing sample box. I liked it a lot but feel either balancing or clear will be better for me so I ordered samples of both plus the bha and the resist 9 you are all raving about. I think Paula's choice may be my new go to brand, I just need to figure out which system will be the best for me. Loving Paula's Choice!!!

VMV probably! I think it was my VMV samples that came from Singapore--if not then something else I got last week but I think that was it. Their samples are super generous, I got little vials of a skincare routine, liquid foundation, bb cream, lipstick, blush, eyeshadows, toothpase, shampoo, conditioner, and 2 kinds of sunscreen!

 
I am soooo excited!! VMV was amazing. I have seriously sensitive skin and am really hoping their products can be added to my Paula's Choice.

Hmm, that's exciting! Mine came from New York, but I called so maybe that is why. I'm excited to see what you get, keep us posted :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
