We understand how frustrating acne can be
Paula Begoun, founder of Paula's Choice, struggled with acne for years. In her search for a solution she discovered she had been applying harmful ingredients like acetone (nail polish remover) to her face. To discover what did work, she immersed herself in everything that had to do with skincare. Ten years of investigative journalism eventually led to Paula's Choice. The purpose? Paula wants to ensure that no one ever has to go through what she went through.
What you can do for acne-prone skin
Get acne-prone skin under control in 3 simple steps:
1. Cleanse. Use a gentle cleanser to remove dirt and excess sebum.
2. Exfoliate. An exfoliant with BHA (salicylic acid) removes dead skin cells and unclogs blocked pores to prevent breakouts. In addition, salicylic acid is anti-inflammatory and helps to reduce redness.
3. Hydrate. Protect your skin with a lightweight moisturiser. During the day, use a moisturiser with SPF 30 minimum, to protect your skin from sun-damage which prevents acne from healing faster.
