Paula’s Choice The Protect and Perfect Pair

he Protect and Perfect Pair” is a travel-size duo designed to exfoliate, protect, and hydrate the skin. It features two of Paula’s Choice’s best-selling products: the 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant and the RESIST Youth-Extending Daily Hydrating Fluid SPF 50. The set aims to reveal a glowing complexion by clearing pores and then protecting the skin from sun damage.

• Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant: This product is the brand’s iconic bestseller. Its key ingredients are:
  • Salicylic Acid (BHA): The star ingredient, it’s a beta hydroxy acid that exfoliates both the surface of the skin and inside the pores. This makes it highly effective for fighting breakouts, blackheads, and enlarged pores.
  • Green Tea Extract: A powerful antioxidant that helps to soothe and calm the skin.
• RESIST Youth-Extending Daily Hydrating Fluid SPF 50: This is a lightweight, fluid moisturizer with broad-spectrum sun protection. Its key ingredients are:
  • Sunscreen Actives: A combination of chemical sunscreen filters like Avobenzone, Octinoxate, Octisalate, and Octocrylene to provide SPF 50 protection against UVA and UVB rays.
  • Antioxidants: The formula contains a blend of antioxidants to help protect the skin from environmental damage and signs of aging.

 

Skin Types

 

• All skin types, especially those with combination to oily skin. The BHA product is particularly effective for those prone to breakouts and excess oil.

 

Skin Concerns

 

• Breakouts and Blackheads: The BHA exfoliant unclogs pores and controls oil.
• Enlarged Pores: The exfoliant helps to minimize their appearance.
• Dullness: The BHA sheds dead skin cells for a smoother, brighter complexion.
• Aging: The SPF 50 moisturizer protects against sun damage, a primary cause of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging.
