Our Origins

Paula’s Choice Skincare was founded in 1995 by beauty
expert Paula Begoun, whose early work helped bring more transparency to the beauty industry. Known as the Cosmetics Cop, Paula wrote research-based books and product reviews that helped consumers sort beauty fact from fiction. Her commitment to honest education shaped the brand from the start, giving people clearer answers in a category often driven by trends and marketing claims. 

Today, that standard continues through a global team of skincare experts, scientists, and formulators dedicated to creating products built on research, guided by evidence, 
and made to deliver results you can see. 

Our Promises

These promises reflect our commitment to evidence, transparency, and consumer advocacy in an industry often driven by trends and noise. 

Evidence-Based Formulation 

We promise evidence-based formulation. Our products are developed using ingredients informed by process-driven published research and evaluated through appropriate testing designed to support their intended cosmetic benefits. We consider new evidence as it becomes available.

Transparent Communication, 
Not Trend-Driven Claims 

We promise transparent, science-grounded communication. We do not rely on hype or unsupported trends. We explain what ingredients are designed to do, how to use them effectively, and what results you can realistically expect. 

Purposeful Ingredients, Thoughtfully Selected 

We promise ingredients chosen with intention. Ingredients in our formulas are selected for a specific purpose and used at levels aligned with current research and formulation standards.

  We also avoid intentionally adding ingredients solely for marketing appeal or label presence. Our formulations are developed without added fragrances and carefully designed to minimize irritation. 

Advanced Efficacy,Designed for Tolerance

We promise to balance efficacy with skin comfort. Our products are formulated to support visible improvement while prioritizing tolerability when used as directed. Individual experiences may vary.
