“Great shipping and products!”

I order from them and the shipping is fast. It will say that I'm getting my order one day, but then it's here sooner! Couldn't ask for better shipping and the products always come nicely packaged and have never been damaged. I love that products are unscented for those that are sensitive. Sending a package back is easy too. I would highly recommend!

“Horrible product && you pay to return their product”

Horrible horrible company. I tried their 2% bha and it dried my skin out so badly. My face looked like a snake. And THE ONLY reason i tried this product is because I THOUGHT i could get my money back if I didnt like it. That's what they tell you. You have to pay shipping to return their items YOURSELF. They dont cover that part. So im paying 5 bucks to return a 25 item. Bull crap company. Will never ever try anything else from here again. They are dead to me.

I'm extremely glad I came across this company because they are the best! Their products works like magic, no doubt about it. I see improvements on my skin that I have never seen before. And don't get me started on their customer service because they are the best. They have the most patient and kind employees who knows how exactly to clarify my concerns and I truly appreciate them for it. Thank you so muc

Paid $25 for overnight shipping on a $300+ order. The order was extremely late. Customer service is a joke. Live chat doesn't work and telephone doesn't work. Their ingredients can be found in less expensive product that works just the same. I find them completely useless as a brand.

Tip for consumers:
Avoid this brand at all cost

I got into looking at skincare more seriously in the past two years because I started getting acne and needed something to clean my dead skin cells etc etc. I also have had strawberry skin growing up so I've been using this bha body treatment lotion and it's been working really well! Highly recommend checking out Paulas Choice products if you haven't yet :)

Run away. Online billing rigged to keep requesting payment. I realized I was being double billed when Paulas Choice asked for 3rd payment. After hours waiting for customer assistance and being disconnected, I knew they got me. I refused to accept packages and it's impossible to get a refund. Bad bad outfit.
Paula should be ashamed of her money grab.

Tip for consumers:
Stay away from online ordering! Call order in
during limited hours and plan on long hold and being disconnected.

I purchased a jacket 11/14/21 and I have still not received it. The only response I have received was an email stating my item has been shipped. I got this email 3 times and still no jacket. Each time the tracking number included in these emails is not registered with the USPS. THIS COMPANY IS A FRAUD. BUYERS BEWARE

I had recently placed an order with Paula's Choice and the ship to address was my old one, so I never received it. I called customer service and explained what happened and they immediately shipped me out a new order to my correct address. That's the best customer service I have ever received. Highly recommend them and their products.

I adore my body. That is why I decided to buy some cosmetics from this brand. I bought some hair care complex and body lotion. I really like how it smells and works well. My recommendation!

I could only get AHA/BHA lotion from this website. They don't sell it at Sephora or Shoppers. The delivery was very fast and I am a happy camper ever since.

First customer service is Terrific. Consultation required, no problem.
Disappointed that cosmetics are discontinued
However, the products are fantastic
If one has very sensitive skin, on meds, contact your Dr show products and ingredients.
Their are active ingredients that may cause a reaction
Paula has many different selections for different skin types.
There is no such thing as hyper allergic
Next, again wonderful service. There was a 25% off sale. Unfortunately, I was broke that month
I received a rain check
Additionally, another plus, check the rebates sites
I was quite Ill stopped my beauty routine.
A disaster.
Wish could show before and after.
My husband has complimented me.
Lastly, have used her products for years. Additionally, I look up reviews on beautypedia.

There is basically no customer service from Paula's Choice. So disappointing waiting weeks for your order, and when contacting customer service, there is no response. I have been a customer for years and have spent thousands of dollars, unreal!

The products are better than what is found at a drugstore for less money than products at a department store. They often have sales and samples. Some items are available in travel sizes. I love that the products aren't tested on animals.

I originally found Paula's Choice on forums for KP, and they're great! Most of the products I've gotten for them have been super effective and great for sensitive skin, and for the few that I got that weren't, they gave me a full refund, plus a consultation with a skin care expert to figure out what I should purchase instead. Super great experience overall!

I spent four decades suffering from misdiagnosed eczema and hundreds of wasted dollars and days in dermatologist offices until I found Paula's Choice! The site is a bonanza of scientifically based beauty advice and reviews of almost every beauty product made. I first found through reading her book that I had rosacea and not eczema, thus all the waste. My skin had open, bleeding, painful sores that spread. Nice, huh?
I just followed her advice and had clear skin for the first time I could remember! Then I thought, if her advice is so good, why not try her products? Wow! I live in Canada and I received my delivery in 3 days. The postage was pennies, they don't make money off shipping like other sites and the products are so amazing and inexpensive. Her return policy is impeccable and they respond immediately to your? S, live if you like and go out of their way to help you. I have recommended her to all my friends. You can use this company with complete confidence. I will be a customer for life. Just see what real miracles look like!
My only con is that, occasionally, I disagree with the reviews. I find scrolling down and reading customer reviews more helpful in deciding which product to pick.

I have very sensitive skin and have always had trouble finding a good solution until I found Paula's Choice products. My skin did not ger irritated at all (like it normally does) and I saw a visible reduction in my fine lines and wrinkles. It is a miracle product!

I just tried this product today. I am totally pleased. I put foundation on over it, and it looks like I have a primer underneath. It's expensive, but I just used a tiny bit for my whole face. I do not have smooth skin, but I look like I do now. It's not greasy. My face looks firmer and hydrated. So happy.
