This Cult-Favorite Skincare Brand Is Having a Sneaky Sale—17 Items to Prioritize 

I’m going to start with the brand’s most popular product (it’s actually its top product worldwide!). This TikTok-viral leave-on liquid exfoliant unclogs pores, smooths skin texture, and evens skin tone. It’s all thanks to salicylic acid, a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) that sheds built-up layers of dead skin. Don’t think it’ll cause irritation, though. It uses 2% BHA, along with green tea to soothe skin. 

It can be applied once every other day to start. If your skin doesn’t react poorly to it, you can use it daily. Simply pat it on your skin with your hands or a cotton pad after cleansing and toning and before moisturizing. Be sure to wear sunscreen during the day; exfoliating acids can make the skin more sensitive to UV light. 

If you struggle with workout-induced clogged pores and acne, this body spray is a must. The alcohol-free formula is enriched with salicylic acid to unclog pores and prevent new breakouts from forming. Plus, it soothes redness. Trust me, buy this and toss it in your gym bag. You’ll thank me later. 

Don’t sleep on an at-home chemical peel. Using one is the easiest way to brighten the skin, even tone, and smooth lines and wrinkles. This one uses a 25% AHA blend as well as 2% BHA to resurface the skin. With a formula like this, it’s no joke. Use it once, and I kid you not, you’ll see a difference in your skin. 

Azelaic acid is basically the gold standard in targeting discoloration and uneven texture. This handy little tube contains 10% azelaic acid, plus licorice root and salicylic acid to fade acne scars and brown spots in a snap. It’s a booster, which means you can use it alone or add it to another serum or moisturizer. 

Skincare goes beyond your face. I’m going to be giving my body a little TLC with this niacinamide-spiked body serum. It targets patchy, uneven, and rough skin, making it brighter and more even over time. It even strengthens the skin barrier to prevent irritation. 

Oily-skinned folks, listen up. This primer controls oil and minimizes the appearance of pores for a velvety skin finish à la TikTok’s favorite “cloud skin” trend. So, if your makeup slips and slides due to excess oil production, snag this handy primer at a discount. 

Another “booster,” this one contains 15% pure vitamin C for powerful brightening and antioxidant capabilities. Just like any other booster, you can use it alone or add it to another serum or moisturizer for a supercharged kick of vitamin C. 

One of the brand’s best-sellers, this mineral sunscreen is lightly tinted—think a slight peach color—to avoid leaving a white cast. While it protects the skin from UV light with SPF 30, it also protects the skin from free radicals with antioxidants. It’s basically a city-dweller’s best friend. 

This serum is perfect for anyone who wants to reap the benefits of retinol without incurring any of the harsh effects (think burning, peeling, and redness). It uses low-strength 0.03% retinol to improve the appearance of the skin, while antioxidants protect against free radical damage.

I’m a big fan of using peptides in my skincare routine. These short-chain amino acids help firm and plump the skin over time, which means less sagging, fine lines, and wrinkles with age. It uses six different peptides for a holistic approach to skin-firming. Count me in. 

Imagine taking the two best anti-aging ingredients and combining them in one serum. That’s what this does. It combines pure retinol and vitamin C to smooth and prevent wrinkles. It’s effective to say the least. 

Did you know Paula’s Choice had a sunscreen oil? I didn’t, but now it’s at the top of my wish list. It offers SPF 30 in a weightless, glow-inducing format. BTW, it’s clinically proven to protect the skin from UV light, blue light, and free radicals, so yes, it works. 

This eye cream targets discoloration, dullness, and loss of firmness—the trifecta of eye area aging. It does so with 5% stabilized vitamin C, skin-firming peptides, and plumping hyaluronic acid. Plus, the light and creamy texture plays well with makeup. 

Don’t let anyone tell you that face scrubs are too harsh. Sure, some of them are, but if you find the right one, it can smooth and brighten your skin without causing irritation. That’s what this one does. It uses round, biodegradable jojoba beads to whisk away dead skin, sunscreen, and makeup. Bonus: it has a milky texture that rinses off easily (there’s nothing worse than a face scrub that lingers long after rinsing). 

I’m going to say it: Paula’s Choice cleansers are underrated and deserve more credit. This one, which is a best-seller, is gentle enough not to irritate skin but effective enough to actually clean it. It’s all thanks to hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and aloe, which work together to hydrate the skin and strengthen the natural moisture barrier. 

Think of this toner like a tall drink of water for your skin, but a tall drink of water that can replenish essential antioxidants and fatty acids. Its milky texture hydrates and plumps skin so it feels soft and comfortable. Personally, I’m buying a bottle to replenish my skin when the cold, dry weather comes. 

This super lightweight lotion is chock full of antioxidants to brighten, soothe, and protect the skin. In other words, it’s effectively anti-aging. The best part is that it doesn’t contain any fragrant plant oils that can cause redness and irritation.
