Paula's Choice Instant Glow Gift Box (Worth £75.00)

Renowned for being 100% transparent and a trustworthy leader in the beauty industry, PAULA'S CHOICE cuts through the noise to deliver hardworking, science-backed formulas that deliver results and live up to their claims. Uniting two skin-refining powerhouses, the Instant Glow set is powered by potent AHAs and BHAs that get straight to work on unclogging pores and smoothing rough texture to reveal an even-toned, brightened complexion in no time and it banks you a 20% saving while you’re at it.

Featuring the bestselling Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant (118ml) and Skin Perfecting 25% AHA + 2% BHA Exfoliant Peel (30ml), the Instant Glow set tackles the full gamut of skin concerns, from clearing congestion and diminishing dark spots to smoothing wrinkles and resurfacing radiant skin.

The Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant is laced with BHA salicylic acid to remove dead skin cells both on the skin’s surface and within the pore. Combined with its anti-inflammatory properties, this helps to reduce blemishes and blackheads for a more clarified complexion, while simultaneously boosting hydration levels. The concentrated, rinse-off peel that is the Skin Perfecting 25% AHA + 2% BHA Exfoliant Peel harnesses water-soluble AHAs (8.4% glycolic acid, 7.1% lactic acid, 5% mandelic acid, 2.5% tartaric acid and 2% malic acid, to be exact) and oil-soluble salicylic acid to achieve multi-level resurfacing action. That’s a fair few acids, we know, but they’re balanced by calming plant extracts such as allantoin, bisabolol and plant-derived butterfly pea flower extract (the ingredient behind the blend’s natural lilac colour) to soothe irritation and reduce the signs of redness.
