Happy New Year Everyone! New Years Resolution. Post Weekly :P.
Today I am reviewing the Paula's Choice Resist Weekly Retexturizing Foam 4% BHA. Yes another exfoliant. You know I love them. Anyway the product is a relatively new addition to the Paula's Choice Range, and they have already reformulated and it's only been restocked recently, at least in Australia. I have been raving about how I loved the 2% BHA (
http://thedermaproject.blogspot.com.au/2014/04/review-paulas-choice-skin-perfecting-2.html) and since using it I have wanted to use the 4% BHA and I finally got my hands on it :D. I actually bought quite a few new products from Paula's Choice and I am so far loving them. I'll upload those reviews as soon as I can. Anyways back to the product, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE but it does have it's drawbacks. So what is it? It is a very unique product in that it is a leave on product that is a foam. You apply it like you would any other cream or lotion but it's a cleansing foam consistency. The moment you apply it it feels cool, almost as if the product has menthol in it (it doesn't by the way Paula Begoun hates menthol).

| This is how the product dispenses. Like a foam cleanser |
| After applying I went straight to bed and the next morning. OMG MY SKIN FELT AMAZING! AND VISIBLY BETTER. The photos do not do the effects justice however if you look carefully you can see pores are slightly smaller, very minimal, however no product in the world can guarantee after one use. I am so looking forward to using this regularly however I have one problem with it. IT SMELLS HORRIBLE, like fish or human tissue melting. It's not pleasant, initially I thought it was the smell of my skin melting however I smelt the product directly, it's definitely the foam. In all honesty I don't mind smells in general however if you are sensitive to scents brace yourself. As Paula's Choice does not include fragrances in its products it's inevtiable some of their products won't smell nice. Think of it like colours. If you mix a whole bunch of colours when you are painting you get a heap of dark mess. Same with skin care ingredients, resulting in majority of companies adding parfum or fragrance to mask it.

After I applied the BHA. As I mentioned the photos aren't
that great however if you look at the circled areas you
can see some improvement.
Those lines are from my bed from sleeping
on something. I quite literally took this photo
as soon as I woke up. |
All in all, besides the smell I recommend this 100% and if you want clearer more refined skin for the New Year this is a must have product. |
