How to use
Exfoliant: Apply over face and neck with fingers or a cotton pad after cleansing and toning. Do not rinse. Start slowly: At first, use every other day and note skin's response, then up to twice a day. For AM, always follow with SPF. For PM, follow with the rest of your routine. If you have a salicylate allergy, check with your physician before using any products that contain salicylic acid.
SPF Moisturiser: Use as the last step in your AM skincare routine. Apply liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure. If you don’t apply liberally, you'll need to re-apply every two hours after your skin is exposed to direct sunlight.
Gloss Balm: Swipe directly onto bare lips throughout the day as needed and before bedtime for a boost of hydration & shine. Use after lip colour for added shine.

FAQ
Most askedIs the 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant a toner?
Given our 2% BHA Liquid’s fluid texture, many people think of it as a toner but its formulation isn’t meant to do what traditional toners do. Instead, the toner consistency of this liquid exfoliates built-up dead skin, unclogs pores and hydrates to boost glow. Paula’s Choice toners add vital skin-replenishing ingredients immediately after cleansing (and before exfoliating) to hydrate, refresh and rebalance. Our toners also work to remove any last traces of make-up and SPF that may have been missed during cleansing.
Why does the 2% BHA Liquid feel sticky and kind of greasy on my face?
If our 2% BHA Liquid feels sticky, you may be using too much. Try using a pearl-sized amount applied in a thin layer. The greasy feel can be attributed to the high levels of glycol in the formula (which works as a water-binding agent and to help BHA penetrate the skin's surface layers).
What is the main difference between RESIST Youth-Extending SPF 50 and RESIST Super-Light SPF 30?
The RESIST Youth-Extending SPF 50 has a fantastic light texture that is ideal if you have oily skin prone to breakouts and blackheads. RESIST Super-Light SPF 30 is formulated with a mineral sunscreen, which makes it more suitable for people with sensitive and oily skin. It also has a sheer tint as well as a slightly more mattifying effect compared to the SPF 50 option.
Is the Pro-Collagen Peptide Gloss Balm suitable for repairing dry lips?
Yes, because the formula includes emollient ingredients like shea butter and sesame seed extract to deeply moisturise and nourish dry lips. For further relief, consider our Lip & Body Treatment Balm for nighttime use.
If worn over lipstick, will the Pro-Collagen Peptide Gloss Balm absorb into lips and will I still get the skincare benefits?
While the Gloss Balm can be worn over lipstick and will still provide some surface-level moisture and shine, its deeper skincare benefits will be more pronounced when applied directly to clean lips.
Which peptides are included in the Pro-Collagen Peptide Gloss Balm?
Key peptides in this formula include: • Tridecapeptide-1: visibly reduces lines & plumps, making lips appear softer and fuller. Works after the first use, with results lasting up to 24 hours! • Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1: supports healthy levels of collagen production & boosts visible volume. • Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38: locks in lasting hydration, relieves dryness & helps prevent thinning.
Does the Pro-Collagen Peptide Gloss Balm cause a tingling sensation to the lips?
No, it is tingle-free. Our hydrating formula comfortably cushions the lips without causing discomfort or a sensitising tingling sensation like many other plumping glosses on the market.
Does the Pro-Collagen Peptide Gloss Balm have a flavour?
Yes, because it contains synthetic, non-irritating vanillin which gives it a subtle scent and flavour.
Do peptides make your lips fuller?
Yes, peptides can help create a fuller appearance by increasing moisture retention and improving lip texture, resulting in a fuller look over time.
