Details & care
What it is: A concentrated, gentle leave-on AHA exfoliant that dramatically improves skin's texture and radiance with weekly use.
Who it's for: Normal to dry skin types.
What it does: The treatment works overnight to reveal youthful, smoother and radiant-looking skin. It couples age-fighting antioxidants with 10% glycolic acid: ingredients proven to help visibly refine the surface of skin. A unique liquid delivery system plus innovative soothing ingredients provides gentle, yet impressive results. You’ll see a visibly improved texture, color, and tone, and a reduction in the appearance of wrinkles. With ongoing use, skin’s appearance becomes firmer-looking and maintains its beautifully smooth texture.
How to use: Use once a week to start then increase to 2-3 times per week, depending on how your skin reacts. Apply only at night after cleansing. Use a cotton pad or clean fingers to apply a dime-sized amount over the entire face. It can be left on or rinsed off after 10 minutes.

incredible.
Put this on overnight, wake up to different skin. Tip: swipe this on under your moisturizer and makeup before heading out for the evening. Avoid reflective surfaces so you don't look obsessed with your reflection. Because you will be.

difficult to apply well
Difficult to apply as it is dispensed through a loose dropper-like hole in the top of the bottle, A lot of product is wasted if using a cotton pad to apply. It can be irritating and did not show much benefit.

Does what it promises
This product is strong enough to make a difference. It perked up my complexion with ingredients that removed dull surface skin. It will make skin slightly dry and flushed. Follow instructions carefully -- be careful around delicate skin around the eyes, and lips.

Wow!
I saw results after one use. I was skeptical at first... But after leaving it on overnight, the next day my skin was smoother, softer, and radiant. Biggest noticeable benefit of using this product is improvements in skin texture imo. I have not seen any anti-aging benefits which will take some time as with any other products. Of note, after applying this product with a cotton pad, it will leave your skin slightly tacky/sticky. Also, I was debating whether to get this product given how I also own PC 8% AHA exfoliant for daily use (which works great btw). I am sure glad I got this product; no regrets here! It is well worth a try... Great weekly treatment!! Just wish it came in a bigger bottle for the price I paid.

Probably my favorite
I use this line and have for 2 years. I think it's the best out there. I came from using high end creams and not seeing any difference to PC and loving my skin. This product I use 2-3 times a week. I cleanse, tone and apply this on a cotton pad, I use a good amount and wipe my face neck and chest. It stings a bit in places. I then add either my PC serum or skip straight to my face cream and in the morning my skin is so soft and I am seeing results in even skin tone over the past 2 months of consistent use. Love AHA for my drier skin. Can't live without!

Convenient Because Weekly But gets the Job Done
I love this product because it's strong enough to only use weekly, but not too strong that I peel or have a negative reaction when I use it. I use retinols, antioxidants and spf, etc., but I think that a strong AHA that's tolerable is important, too. I used to use a very popular PC BHA product, but now I buy that for my adult kids who have more acne/clogged pore type skin, whereas I prefer an AHA for it's anti-aging purposes on dryer skin.

Paula's Choice 'Resist' Resurfacing Treatment
I read the reviews about this facial treatment and was convinced to try it. I have used it only twice but I am very pleased with it. My complexion did feel much smoother and softer. There was also a noticeable lightening of some "age spots!" I intend to continue with it and am considering other "Paula's Choice" products. I do recommend it!
