Paula’s Choice Malaysia PC4Men Skincare Review

So Paula’s Choice is a popular skincare brand that has been used, reviewed and recommended by famous beauty YouTubers like Wayne Goss and Tati Westbrook. So I was elated when I was sent these products to be reviewed. I don’t commonly do skincare reviews but I do realise it is something that inevitably comes with being a beauty blogger. The other thing I would like to say is that I don’t usually review products with a gender specification. Men can wear makeup too darling!

However………

This is a skincare line dedicated to men.

This skincare line is the PC4Men by Paula’s Choice.

The three products that were sent to me.

It doesn't really foam up. If you have used the Cetaphil cleanser you'd know what I am talking about.

Pros:

Does the job of properly cleansing the face; lives up to its claims.

Leaves the skin feeling soft.

Does not strip the skin of moisture.

 

Cons:

NONE! Seriously, none!

 

Rating: 9.2/10

Highest rating. I LOVE this cleanser!

Note: I am one of those person that do not like the feeling of tight, overtly cleansed skin. If you know that feeling you get when using soap on the skin…., I hate that feeling… so this cleanser was a dream to use.

 

Step 2: Day cream (PC4Men Daytime Protect)

Pros:

Does not leave a white cast.

Does not feel heavy on the skin.

Absorbs easily; no fuss product.

 

Cons:

It did initially cause a tiny bit of burning on my skin so do be wary of this.

 

Rating: 8.5/10

It works and doesn’t leave a white cast, even on my deep coloured skin.

 

Step 3: Leave on exfoliant (PC4Men Soothe + Smooth)

Serum like treatment.

It is straight up liquid. Like water. No added fragrance but due to the presence palmitoyl compounds it does smell a tiny bit like coconut.

It is straight up liquid. Like water. No added fragrance but due to the presence palmitoyl compounds it does have a odour; not necessarily bad though).

I was directed by the skincare consultant at Facial Room Malaysia to use it at night by applying and patting it into the skin. It also says on the bottle it can be used like an after shave. I’ve used it both ways to good results.

 

Pros:

Absorbs well into the skin.

Face feels plumper.

Definitely helps reduce acne red bumps.

 

Cons:

I wasn’t really a big fan of the smell.

Because it is so liquid, it is prone to a tiny bit of spillage.

 

Rating: 8.5/10

I loved how my skin felt when I used this!

 

Before and after comparisons

After

My skin looks more plump and hydrated. Excuse the slight oiliness because the before picture was taken right after a shower and so I was not as greasy as the after picture…

This comparison is the lines on my forehead which was a real surprise to me too! Another thing I noticed is the reduction of pigmented spots on my forehead. Look again!

All in all I love these range of products!
