Parts of her reviews are unfair, I feel - for example, she describes pore strips as harmful, saying you're supposed to "rip" them off your skin, when really you should peel them, not rip as if you were waxing. She said in previous editions that although masks "can be a relaxing, pampering interval for women", they really don't do anything for skin -- but now, she sells masks - and voila! She says that her clay mask is "unique", absorbs oil, and helps draw out blackheads. It's bothersome that she always claimed that toners and masks were superfluous in skin care... until she started selling them. That being said, I've ordered her beta hydroxy product for the first time (haven't gotten it yet) because the handful of recommended drugstore products are hard to find, so I'm hoping it goes well.

Before I found her books I used to spend a fortune on expensive cosmetics, and creams. My skin tends to have break outs and I have tried everything. BHA 2% and benzoil peroxide have tamed it down and my skin looks great. I have used her sunscreens and loved them too. When people say they trust dermatologists I laugh. Mine recommended Accutane for occasional spots! So yes Paula is making money but she is an honest person. Absolutely love PB.
