Topper voor exfoliating season!

Review Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 8% AHA Gel Exfoliant 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 Exfoliating season has begun! In the summer, your skin will unintentionally suffer skin damage, even if you wear good skincare faithfully. Autumn is the season to give the skin a boost. This Paula's Choice exfoliant contains 8% AHA (glycolic acid). It is suitable for dry skin and sun-damaged skin. It removes dead skin cells, reduces fine lines and prevents signs of skin aging, as well as providing hydration and radiant skin. In addition to glycolic acid, this exfoliant also contains fine caring ingredients such as allantoin, bisabolol and chamomile extract. The product is packaged in an air- and slightly tight container, good for its shelf life. It has a pump system, with 1 pump I have enough for my entire face. You apply it to cleansed skin and don't rinse it off. After it has been able to absorb, apply a moisturizer. However, you need to build up its use to ensure that the skin can get used to the product. In the first few weeks of use, you may also experience some more imperfections, such as pimples, due to purging. It is an exfoliating product that allows impurities to surface. I myself have not had any problems with this exfoliant. I myself use this a few times a week in my evening routine because it makes the skin more sensitive to sunlight. It is easy to apply and has a slightly sticky texture. It absorbs fairly quickly and then I follow up with a moisturizer and sometimes first with a hydrating serum. This exfoliant is very nice for my dry skin. It reduces fine lines caused by dryness. It provides radiant skin and a smooth, even and supple skin texture. My sensitive skin has no irritation after using this product. Really another top hit! I can handle exfoliating season with this exfoliant! #paulaschoice #exfoliant #AHA #glycolzuur #peeling #WAEAWARDS2022

This exfoliant works great and with respect for sensitive skin. If you have dry sensitive skin, exfoliation with AHA is recommended. I use this product 2 to 3 a week maximum and it makes my skin softer, visibly smoother and most importantly: it does not give pigmentation spots a chance to develop. Afterwards, removing the product with a lotion and moisturizing the skin well is necessary, just like protecting the skin with an SPF.

Good exfoliant!

I've been using this exfoliant for over a year now and I'm very satisfied! This was my first exfoliant ever and you can see the most result in the beginning. I had a big, little dark spot on my cheek and it's gone. Furthermore, my skin radiates and looks healthy. Now I'm not noticing any new improvement, but at some point you also get used to your fresh shade;). At least I'm not going to stop.

What am I satisfied with this product 😁 Wonder stuff isn't 💯%! I suddenly suffered a lot of pigment spots on my forehead, it was a large pigment stain with small spots around it, it looked like a pregnancy mask, but after 3 weeks (smearing 3x a week) the spots are almost completely gone! In addition, it removes dead skin cells and reduces fine lines. So too bad I don't have a good picture of before. Because then you would be able to see the difference really well. Update: now to longer use, all stains are completely gone! Now I use it once more a week. I recommend it to everyone! Thanks paula ❤
