Never thought the products are going to work, I bought it because I have more frequent breakouts during the winter so I want to try out. Thanks PAULA, it works!
Here is how I used it to minimize the acnes/breakouts: Use cleanser to wash out the makeup or any residues on your skin, a small portion will do. Scrub in hand until you see the foam then apply to the face and wash out it using warm water. Then, putting moisturizer or toner of your choice (primarily deep hydration function works best in my opinion) before applying the exfoliating solution to reduce the burning sensation if you want to apply A LOT of exfoliate. But, you should start with little amount for step 2 to see how your skin react to it. Yes! LITTLE! Please Ladies! Literally one to two drops at your fingertip and only to spots that need attention. My favorite is step 3 treatment cream and I usually skipped 1 and 2 and go staright to 3 if my skin conditions are good. Simply apply the cream to your face. You don't have to use these products every day, use it when the breakouts are severe. I would add serum (targeting skin repair function) after step 3 right before I went to sleep. The reason for this is because does not dry your face as much.
Make sure you use suncreen in the morning after every application. I am going to emphasize this, SUNSCREEN IS MANDATORY, NO EXCEPTION. Benzoyl peroxide is going to make your skin prone to sunburn. There was one occasion where I forget to put the sunscreen and I can clearly see that the skin peeling off after exposure to sun. I also want to make a note that you should only put solution on spots that needs treatment, not the entire face, otherwise you are interuperting your skin defense line. Small amount and longer the duration of use are the keys.
These combinations/steps siginifically reduced the redness and smooth the acnes in ONE night, very surprisingly, saver for night before party. For thoese who have senstitive skin, the products will give you burning/itching feeling, I have combination skin type and I can still feel that stinging on my face if I am applying a lot of the treatment, so portion does matter. Overall I am satisifying and happy and will see if this works the same in the summer.

I'm honestly amazed
I never had acne growing up, but now that I'm in my 30s it has become a constant frustrating and embarrassing battle. I was spending hundreds of dollars every month on expensive products that swore they'd help but nothing was keeping it at bay, especially hormonal acne due to my cycle. I am so glad I found this set and really wish I took before and after pictures (I didn't because I didn't actually think it would be this drastic of a change - it was an immediately noticeable difference! My skin was clearer by Day 2). I've been using it for a month now, PM only unless I feel breakouts coming on (and if I use it in the AM I use lots of sunscreen!). I went from having about 8-9 deep and stubborn pimples at a time to 0. This week I just got my first three pimples since picking up the product but where they used to stick around for a week to a month each, now they disappear after a day. It's amazing. I also have multiple dark post-acne marks so I contacted Paula's Choice and they recommended the 10% Azelaic Acid treatment, so I layer that on as well in the evenings, after the benzoyl peroxide step, and before moisturizer (I got the PC CLEAR B3, blueberry and licorice moisturizer). This set has been the only thing in a year of trying products that is actually helping. I am crossing my fingers that it keeps working! It also doesn't have any scent that I can detect.I originally bought the trial set and after about a week knew I wanted the full size so now use the trial size for traveling. The picture shows them side by side (as well as the extras I bought) with a pen for scale. The trial size is definitely tiny, but it's supposed to be! That's the point of a trial size. A small amount to test out. I feel it's the perfect size for a trial/travel pack. Also, (at least where I am) if I order early enough it has all come with same-day delivery or at the latest next day, and I like that it's actually sold from the "Paula's Choice Skincare" store on Amazon, so I know the products are genuine.As a note, the 2% Salicylic Acid that PC sells in the gray bottle is a similar formula to the CLEAR Regular Strength 2% Salicylic Acid, but not identical (I called their customer service and asked because I had other questions as well). It is a bit more watery in texture. The gray bottle is a thicker formula, and IIRC from my phone call *is* identical to the Salicylic Acid in the Extra Strength kit. Just FYI for anyone else who was curious.

It’s insane how these are considered travel size. Hard to get a feel for how the products work when there’s not enough to use for even a month. Just waste your money buying full size products.
