Your skin feels smooth like a peeled egg, though this effect is more pronounced in the morning rather than lasting all day. It does help to clear away some of the dead skin cells on the surface.
ConsFirst off, the smell is a bit unpleasant... like baby drool...? Anyway, the scent is off-putting. Being an AHA product, it can sting a bit when applied to sensitive skin, and sometimes my face turns red and feels hot. It's definitely a product that can be irritating.
TipIf you have super sensitive skin, either avoid using this or gradually increase frequency to once a month. Apply it right after cleansing, and since it can be very drying, make sure to layer a hydrating product on top to lock in moisture.

It's perfect for my blemish-prone, combination dehydrated skin with blackheads and seborrheic dermatitis. As someone with very dry, tight skin, I use this gel type in summer and switch to the emulsion version of the same product in winter. Thanks to this, I don't need to get extractions done every month anymore!
ConsThe gel tends to pill a lot, and I'm not sure if it's actually absorbing into the skin. The price, quantity, and fragrance are very disappointing. I wish they would release a larger size and a cleanser that combines AHA and BHA.
TipMake sure to use a BHA cleanser for cleansing, and after applying this product, finish with a serum or emulsion that won't clog your pores!

The only positive I can honestly mention is that it applies well...
ConsEven though my skin only feels slight irritation from the 2% BHA Stridex Maximum (red box), this product stung too much. The irritation felt different from Stridex (kind of sharp?) and lasted longer, perhaps because it stays on the skin unlike wipe-off pads. The smell was awful... like saliva? I intended to use this as a final step after toner and essence/serum, but it left my skin feeling drier instead of moisturized. I thought about layering a cream on top, but its gel texture caused everything to pill, making it impossible to apply anything over it. For my skin, it had so many drawbacks and showed no effectiveness, so I just went back to using Stridex.

Right after application, you can see the pores in the T-zone visibly shrink. When I wake up in the morning, my skin looks absolutely radiant. I use it twice a week, and just that is enough to make my makeup go on smoothly and leave my skin texture feeling soft!
ConsThe scent... it smells like saliva... but that's really the only downside.
TipAfter using it, your skin might feel a bit dry, so make sure to apply a generous amount of hydrating moisturizer.

The next day when I washed my face, my skin felt incredibly smooth. It's like slathering on a generous amount of aloe vera! Although it's an exfoliator, I appreciate that it's not harsh on the skin.
ConsIt has an odd scent. The unique fragrance made me hesitant to use it daily. Looking at other reviews, I see it's recommended to use only 2-3 times a week for those with sensitive or dry skin.

For a Paula's Choice product, it offers good value considering its price relative to its usable period.
ConsAt first, I thought the scent was too unique, but after using it for a while, I got used to it and even found it familiar. Having used it for so long, I can't expect dramatic improvements anymore, but that's just the nature of long-term use.

It's great for smoothing out the skin. However, as someone with extremely sensitive, acne-prone skin, I do feel a tingling sensation every time I use it. Despite that, it's effective at removing dead skin cells and improving skin texture, which is why I keep reaching for it.
ConsWhile the scent might be unavoidable due to the ingredients, I must say the smell is really unpleasant.

After application, my skin feels lighter and smoother. The scent is a bit tart, but it's great for gently exfoliating dead skin cells without irritating the skin.
ConsThe fragrance isn't great, but it seems to be from the natural ingredients, so I'm not sure if that's really a drawback.

My complexion became radiant! I'm planning to repurchase!
ConsThe scent isn't great. Due to its exfoliating effect, it's better to use it as part of your nighttime routine. Before applying makeup, it seems to cause dead skin cells to come to the surface.
