I have been wanting to try Paula's Choice and decided on the skin recovery system as a "skin care system in a box" option. My skin is very dry and sensitive, and I have been looking for some reasonably priced but advanced skin care products.
I like the cleanser & the toner, they are not drying. The 8% AHA gel is "so far, so good". I use it at night and haven't had any problems (no peeling or irri...read moretation.)
I have to use more than the "few drops" recommended of the antioxidant serum because my skin soaks it up the moment I apply it. With this, and the AHA, I am going to have to be patient and wait longer to see if I notice any difference before I decide to buy more of these in the future.
I love the moisturizers... The daily spf 15 lotion is awesome for a chemical-free, it will whiten in the areas that I don't blend it good (eyebrows, hairline) and it wears well all day. In the reviews there is mention of it recently testing higher than spf 15. If It does, I am forever hooked. The replenishing moisturizer is like a balm; white, thick, but not greasy.
I have beed using the mask 2-3 times a week and my dry skin is getting better and not feeling so tight.
Everything except for the AHA can be used on the eye area. This important to me (I have had "accidents"). All are fragrance-free but some products smell of the ingredients used, normal for unscented products.
For a complete system I am impressed, I am usually a wash then moisturize only girl, but have been taking the time to perform the extra steps. I paid just under "a bill" on sale for the kit and think that is quite fair. They also sent me full size products in place of requested samples (I got two tinted moisturizers and two foundations, yey!) I think my skin has gotten clearer and smoother than it was. The true test will be if I decided to get more since it is a mail order product...
