I find Paula’s Choice as just another brand. I mean, she has a huge fan base. Great on her. But the way she writes those reviews on her website is clearly biased towards her products. She usually give high ratings for her own products while in reality, all products should be given equal standing. I mean, one man’s meat is another man’s poison. Doesn’t mean she rates it as bad, it means that it is going to be bad for everyone. Also, the way she writes is similar to what one expect from those cosmetic leaflets one gets from the beauty counters at a posh supermarket, except her products are affordable. Period.

I tried Paula’s Choice at the recommendation of a friend. I like her site and appreciate what she is trying to do. But the products just did not work for me. I tried them for months and, although you can return them, incurred a lot of shipping fees for the effort. In the end all the products did for me was turn my face red. Even the sensitive skin products were irritating. So, not a match for me. My friend continues to love her products and has lovely skin to show for it. Wish it worked for me. I do still check out her reviews for other products and believe she is trying to give honest reviews even thought she has her own line of products.

I’m picking up on some old comments here about phenoxyethanol. I’ve noticed that it does have a faint rosy scent, and it seems that I’m allergic to it. I’m a big Paula’s Choice fan, partly because she offers unscented products, but I wish she and other companies wouldn’t put phenoxyethanol into their “unscented” products. It’s just another sneaky scent snuck into unscented products to make them smell better! Yeah, sometimes unscented products don’t smell very good. Still I think products formulated for sensitive skin and allergic people should contain the least-allergenic preservatives. Even a prescription nasal spray that is supposed to lessen allergies has phenyl ethyl alcohol in it, which is a preservative that is similar to or maybe the same as phenoxyethanol. I used it once and couldn’t believe I was spraying rose scent up my nose, in the height of spring hayfever season. I’m not sure, but from my reading I think parabens are the least likely of all the preservatives to cause allergic reactions.
