ELLA K BEAUTY REVIEW

Paula’s Choice Skin Balancing Carbon Mask Review

Skin Balancing Carbon Mask is a lightweight gel-paste with a charcoal tint.  The mask combines bentonite clay and carbon to absorb excess oil and impurities from the skin.  The formula also contains glycerin and several anti-irritants to soothe the skin.  The paste tingles upon application and dries quickly on the skin.  The mask rinses easily and leaves skin feeling comfortably clean and soft.  This product is fragrance-free.

Paula’s Choice 8% Alpha Hydroxy Acid Gel Review

This unscented clear gel dries quickly and without a residue.  The formula contains 8% glycolic acid to exfoliate and smooth the surface of the skin.  The gel is also formulated with chamomile, aloe, green tea, sodium hyaluronate and panthenol that help to calm and lightly moisturize the skin.  This treatment is relatively gentle and can be used daily.  Use of sunscreen is recommended with this product. 

Paula's Choice One Step Face Cleanser Normal to Dry Skin Review

This one is a favorite of mine.  This basic cleanser is silky, creamy and lightly foaming.  It removes all makeup, rinses clean and is not too drying.  The formula is fragrance- and colorant-free, and it contains soothing chamomile and aloe.

Paula's Choice 1% Beta Hydroxy Acid Gel Review

This lightweight gel is a great choice for people battling minor blemishes and blackheads.  It contains 1% salicylic acid (BHA) to exfoliate the skin and unclog pores.  This formula also contains several good anti-irritants.  Use of sunscreen is recommended with this product.
