  • “The first one that I love was pore normalizing cleanser from Paula's Choice”0:55–0:57
  • “It's a hydrating cleanser, but it's also got BHA or salicylic acid, which is basically the best exfoliator for us and specifically for oily skin”2:02–2:06
  • “It penetrates into the pore and almost unclogs that pore, which is exactly what we want”2:11–2:16
  • “There's no AHAs in this particular product. There's no witch hazel. There's no denatured alcohol. There's no fragrance. There's no essential oils”2:20–2:24
  • “The surfactants that they've used are quite gentle”2:31–2:31
  • “It's also quite a hydrating product, so it's got moisturizers such as arginine, butylene glycol, and glycerin in it as well, which is excellent”2:43–2:45
  • “Very simple formula, but I love it and if I had oily prone skin or any of my friends do, this is the one that I would recommend”2:51–2:54

4.2RESIST Perfectly Balanced Foaming Cleanser
  • “I really liked this”5:23–5:26

  • “I like to use this in the morning, not as much in the evening cuz I felt like it wasn't breaking down my makeup and my SPF as much as like a true foaming cleanser”5:41–5:45
  • “It is meant to protect your skin's barrier because it is lighter. So, I can appreciate that”5:49–5:53
  • “I definitely think it's better for a morning cleanse”5:53–5:59
  • “If they sent me this one again, I would certainly use it”6:07–6:11

Brand note

Paula's Choice is the brand you turn to when you want science-backed formulas that actually do what they say — no fragrance, no fuss, just effective actives. Their Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant is the standout here, a go-to for smoothing texture and clearing congestion, though it's strong enough that you shouldn't use it daily. The trade-off across the line is that some products, like the CellularYouth Longevity Serum, can feel overpriced for what they deliver, so you'll want to pick based on your specific concern rather than buying blind.
