What’s wrong with Paula’s Choice?
She lambasted supplements when she wasn’t selling them and now to expand her business, she makes up all sort of excuses to justify selling them on their website.
She continues to do things that damage her already compromised reputation.
She even hide comments on her YouTube channel for feedback on her products. That’s not very transparent for her company.
It’s a shame when money is the priority rather than truth in skincare.

The company is now similar to a drugstore brand. It has lost its slightly elevated status.
I recently read on their website on their marketing page that they would always tell the truth even though it would made them unpopular. That couldn’t be farther from the truth.
They’re unpopular these days because:
*They manipulate reviews – unfavourable reviews don’t get published on their new products; they’ll wait for 5-star reviews before publishing.
*They criticize other products like The Ordinary Lactic Acid for being one-note but in reality, it has Tasmannia Lanceolata Fruit/Leaf Extract, which Paula’s team conveniently ignored.
*If I were to follow their standard, many of Paula’s Choice products are one-note inlcuding their C25 Booster and Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid, which is basically salicylic acid.
*Paula said she’s against facial scrubs but she just came out with a new one.
*Paula was so focused on her salicylic acid that she slammed scrubs in the past but now to expand to a larger market, she’s selling it but said she formulated it well.
*This mean that other companies have very poor formulation and the only person on earth who could create decent scrub is Paula Begoun – I’ve never seen someone so conceited.
*Paula Begeoun is no longer credible because she does not do what she say.
It would have been fine if she comes out all with whatever products she likes but what’s not fine are the things that she said in the past like telling people the products they don’t need and yet she has them now and wants to earn money from it.
What’s not fine is slamming other companies and yet doing the exact same thing.
There should be Real truth in beauty.

Excellent review, Jinbox, and I agree with everything on your list. Paula and Beautypedia drive me crazy in endless ways; I could go on and on.
I read an interview with Paula in which she is asked what her routine is. Despite all of the PC products out there and how they all perform different miraculous things, she only uses cleanser, toner, niacinamide booster, her light serum, hydraquinone AHA product, her lip balm and……..her eye cream!?!?! Eye creams are not necessary; you can use your regular products, but she doesn’t. She uses her own unnecessary eye cream.
It’s a similar pattern of Paula logic with everything. Toners: to her, they were not necessary and in fact harmful. She created her own that were not harmful and actually beneficial, and now toners are a NECESSARY INDISPENSABLE part of skin care that you cannot skip. Everybody must use toner.
The one-note products. Turns out there is an important place in skin care for one note products after all.
She hurts my brain.

Paula’s Choice reminds me of Deciem’s The Ordinary.
During the early days of Paula’s Choice, they were like The Ordinary. They have products backed by science and was sold at an affordable price.
The current Paula’s Choice is no longer recognizable. Not only are their products ridiculously expensive, they’re doing the exact same things that they critized other companies of doing (just browse through their Beautypedia website).
Paula Begoun preached the unnecessary purchase of eye creams, avoiding products in a jar, having one note products, among others. On Beautypedia, they also critized other companies for the cost of their products, the sticky finish and for producing more than one product using the same active ingredients, stating that the company no longer believes in their products that’s why they created a new one.
It seems that now those words are being eaten:
*They sell multiple eye creams
*They sell multiple products in a jar (their lip balms)
*Their products are overpriced
*They have one note product (C25 Booster)
*They have products that are sticky (C15 Booster, read the reviews on their product page)
*They now have multiple products using the same set of active ingredients
Time may change but the principles that Paula Begoun shared in the early days made sense, which was why she accumulated followings. There’s just no excuse in the way they’re behaving right now coming up with all sorts of reasons.
It’s frustrating to see Beautypedia review prodcuts in a condescending way and cherry pick lines from customer reviews. I remember reading a review that a competing product has a sticky finish and they even quoted from a reviewer (1 single review) but they never mention anything about the stickiness of their C15 Booster when there are many many reviewers who mentioned that on their product page.
Respect is earned but definitely not through unjustifiably critizing others.
They frequently use the slogan “Truth in Beauty” but…
*there should be no “bias” in Truth in Beauty
*there should be “honesty” in Truth in Beauty
*there should be “truth” in Truth in Beauty
If you can’t abide by these, then stop using that slogan. It will only work against you.

This is an answer to Swimblock in her review of Paula’s Choice skincare
It seems she just wants to give a bad review without being ashamed of telling lies : […] stay away from Paula’s Choice products as every one of them has it (dimethicone or silicones) in the ingredients list […]
Here is a list (not a short one) of Paula’s products that DO NOT contain ANY silicone :

EDIT : Swimblock has clarified her review, this should have been done this way the very first time, especially when omitting it was all the products SHE TRIED that contained silicone (and not ALL THE PRODUCTS as said at first). Paula’s Choice indicates clearly all the ingredients on her products as well as on her website, so it’s up to anyone to check the ingredients first.
[…] Paula’s Choice does make some products that may be silicone free but I am not a man so I did not check those […] : from the list I added, only a few (PC4Men) are designed for men.
At the same time Swimblock has highly rated some products from other brands which are loaded with various silicones, so…
And finally, no I’m not a plant for PC, just an user for 16 years with great results. I still think that giving the worst rating to a whole brand just because some products don’t work for one is biased.
EDIT 06/27/16 : this review originally written a while ago was flagged for the reason « Reviewer did not try the product » so I have to submit it once more. The one who flagged did not even check all my reviews on this brand.

I too use many Paula’s Choice products; on the couple that didn’t work for me, I received an immediate refund without having to jump through hoops. Another thing I love about PC is the availability of samples for most items. I could downgrade MANY products others love/like due to my personal sensitivities, which include fragrance of ANY kind, essential oils, and flavorings. But that doesn’t make sense to me. I review products as to how well they work FOR THEIR INTENDED PURPOSE; as I wrote elsewhere, I dislike when reviewers diss a product that is clearly not formulated for them. For example, complaining that a lip butter isn’t long-lasting: it isn’t a long-lasting formula and shouldn’t be expected to be. Or when an acne cleanser dries out their skin; that’s what it’s for!
IF you dislike silicones in your skin care products, that’s your choice; you are allowed to express that without making it an attack on an entire line (oh, and by the way, the PC4Men line isn’t only for guys…). I find Paula’s obsession with SPF annoying, as I can use only physical sunscreens, and that only when I really need it (such as a summer day in the sun); otherwise, I would just be broken out all the time. (I am violently allergic to all chemical sunscreens.) Does it then make sense for me to diss every product with chemical sunscreen in it? I think not.

Anyone that has issues with dimethicone or silicones should stay away from Paula’s Choice products as every one of them has it in the ingredients list. My skin cannot tolerate these ingredients at all and I am very disappointed that someone with Paula’s stature wouldn’t at least carry some dimethicone/silicone free products for those of us that can’t tolerate them. These ingredients did not used to be in every product but cosmetic company’s have been adding them in because they make your skin feel smooth. They first appeared in primers but are now in many, many skin care products. My skin breaks out and I get raised red bumps whenever I use products with silicones in them. It doesn’t show up the first day but about 4 to 5 days later, it is very noticeable on my face. So if you have issues with silicones read the ingredients list for every product you plan to buy. If the ingredient ends in scone or xane it is a silicone.
ETA: This edit is in response to the review by Arosci concerning silicones in Paula’s Choice products. I wonder if Arosci is a plant for PC. I will clarify my review in that every product I checked that was appropriate for my skin type, which is mature/dry, had silicone in it. Paula’s Choice does make some products that may be silicone free but I am not a man so I did not check those Following is a list of products that have dimthicone/silicone in them per the ingredients list on Paula’s Choice website:
