Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 25% AHA + 2% BHA Face Exfoliant Peel, Facial Exfoliant Peel Rinse Off Treatment, All Skin Types, Fragrance-Free, 1 Oz

My 43 year old skin is in full-on revolt. After 20 years of mostly problem-free skin, all of a sudden I'm experiencing major hormone-related changes -- lots of blemishes, excess oiliness and dehydration. Every inch of my face is doing something different, so it's been challenging to find the right products.I've tried a lot of these type of peeling rinse off products, but this was the first time I've tried Paula's Choice. I've been using it once a week for a month and am really happy with the results. I experienced a bit of discomfort when I initially applied it--a tingly almost burning sensation--but that faded after a couple of minutes.The first time I used it, after I rinsed it off and applied toner, serums and moisturizer I wasn't super impressed. My skin looked mildly irritated but that was it. Within 24 hours my skin (to me) was more glowy and smooth, and 48 hours after use it was noticeably glowy and smooth -- so much that my husband did a triple-take!Other benefits I've noticed: it's helped treat and minimize blemishes rapidly, helped even my skin tone and texture noticeably, and my skin looks and feels much more comfortable. All four times I've used it, the best results have come 48 hours later (although my skin throughout the entire week is much improved!)Because it's slightly irritating, I'll always be cautious about how much I use it, and after six weeks of use I'll probably take a break from it for a couple of weeks, but I will definitely be purchasing this again and highly recommend!
