Paula’s Choice utilizes a Science Advisory Board that includes dermatologists, biologists, cosmetic chemists and more to ensure that their products are effective and safe. Paula’s Choice is dedicated to research-backed formulas and ingredient education.

Gentle products, such as cream cleansers and hyaluronic acid serums, are safe for daily use. However, stronger ingredients like retinol and chemical exfoliants can cause irritation if used too often. When incorporating products with active ingredients, start slowly—use them once a week, then gradually increase to twice a week, every other day, and eventually daily, as your skin tolerates them.

Paula’s Choice carries products that can fade and prevent dark spots. Look for items with ingredients like glycolic acid (AHA), azelaic acid, retinol, and vitamin C. Protect your skin and prevent additional dark spots with SPF.

Paula’s Choice creates products for many different skin types. On Dermstore’s website, you can filter the brand’s products by “Skin Type” and select “Mature Skin” to find the best products for your needs.

Consistency is key with any skincare routine. Sticking to a regular regimen will help you achieve the best results. It may take several weeks to a few months to notice the effects of an effective skincare routine.
