If redness, dryness, or irritation occurs, cut back the frequency of application or discontinue use.
I ordered the 8% alpha hydroxy gel and just love it. After one application my skin felt like satin. Great product and not as abrasive as Renova.

I wanted to write to you and share my amazement and gratitude that your products are just what they say they are, and are producing good results for my skin. The 8% Alpha Hydroxy, 2% Beta Hydroxy, and 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide have greatly improved all of my skin, including my problematic chin. Thank you from my heart!
—Kimberly S.
Thanks so much for the miraculous 8% Alpha Hydroxy Acid Gel. I just received it last week, and I am astounded at how smooth my skin looks and feels already. As a frequent sufferer of breakouts, I am very discerning of my skin care products, but this has been wonderful.
—Jenny G.
I started using your skin care about a month ago. Early on I had noticed a tremendous difference in my skin texture. I have recently been using the 8% Alpha Hydroxy Acid Gel, and, my skin has never been better. I always thought you had to buy those scrubs which were just irritating my skin. I just wanted to thank you for your marvelous skin care line. It really works and is reasonably priced so that everyone can have great skin.

I'm turning 40 in a few days yet twice this week I was pegged as being in my 20's! I love the outdoors, but Paula's skincare has obviously protected my skin and kept it healthy. I've paid thousands of dollars in the past to find effective, skincare, but until I discovered Paula's Choice, nothing impressed me. My two favorites are the Super Antioxidant Concentrate, which makes my skin feel like silk, and the Hydrating Treatment Cream. The 8% AHA Gel is as good as Fruition Extra, but costs $170 less for the same amount of product. Thanks, Paula!
—Scarlett A.
I thought I had flawless skin until I started your 8% AHA gel. I love this stuff! My skin looks better and I didn't really have skin problems to begin with! Thank you!
—Nicole Lawrence
I'm 58, and have been using Paula's 2% BHA gel and 8% AHA gel faithfully for about 6 months (AHA at night, BHA during the day), and I suddenly realized how much smoother and clearer my skin has become. AND, when I had a facial at Red Door Spa yesterday, the esthetician said there was nothing she could recommend that I change about my skin care routine, and asked what I use!
—Cindy
