I just made my first order of Paula's Choice products.
They were all samples. I bought samples of all her exfoliants (BHA and AHA) and all of her cleansers (except for the acne cleanser).
I can't wait to use the products and see how well they work on my skin. |

Let us know how they work for you!
I prefer DIY for most products, but I've heard overwhelmingly positive feedback about Paula's line. And even I have to admit that her ingredient lists are pretty impressive. No fragrance or irritants? Yes, please. |

Ditto. And I'll be sure to keep you updated on how the samples work. |

I was just thinking of placing a sample order for Paula's Choice.
I had ordered her 2% BHA and AHA years ago. I want to try her new BHA 9 (9% bha!) and her tinted moisturizer spf 30.
Anything else I should try? I am more interested in the treatment products.
I am 51. Sensitive skin that is still prone to breakouts. Some clogged pores around nose and chin (that I hope the BHA9 helps.) |

Autumn,
I also ordered samples of her 1% BHA.
I hope that 3 packets will be enough. |

Three packets gives you the chance to see if you think it will work long term. I always patch test anything as I have reactive skin. Never had a reaction to anything from PC.
I really appreciate companies that sell (or even better offer free with purchase) samples. |

Me too. I wish that more companies sold samples. |

Hi Autumn, if you order this please come back and tell me how you like it. This is something I am thinking about ordering for my ongoing acne. Thanks |

Paula has free shipping on her samples.
When I bought my products yesterday, I paid nothing for shipping and tax. |

I really like PC products. I always have something belonging to her range. I have very reactive skin lately and lots of things cause problems.
I have been using her Retinol serum which is really nice. Not sure for oily skin? I also like her moisture treatment cream and her Resist Barrier Cream.
I have never had a breakout from her products which is saying something! |

There is free shipping on everything right now, it either ends this week or next. Normally you would pay shipping on samples unless its noted otherwise on the site. |

| That sounds like a really great deal. I love to try new things but hate paying high shipping costs. |

In addition, there are a bunch of Paula's Choice free shipping coupons on RetailMeNot.com.
RetailMeNot.com is good for those who do online shopping because it lists of ton of coupon codes. |

How quick is turn around time for orders? Does she ship out within 2 - 3 days? Did you get a shipping notice?
It was a while ago when I placed an order last. PC is in Washington state and I am in Ontario, Canada. Actual shipping is slow (Canada customs, etc.) |

I made the order over the weekend and got the items today. I live in the Midwest.
Maybe it's because you're international. |

I just used up the three samples of her Moisture Boost One Step Facial Cleanser.
It was not my cup of tea, but maybe one of the other cleansers will work for me.
I will try to post a review of this product soon. |

It was $3.50 for a small sample. Rather pricy for a packet IMO; but I did order one. I really want to try it. |

The BHA9 sample is not a packet likethe other ones, it's a tiny glass tube, so I'd say the $3.50 is totally worth it, as the product waste is minimized due to better packaging. I've had mine for 3 weeks, and I am still using it. Granted, I only apply on trouble areas avery 3 days or so... |

That explains the price difference. |
