Experts praise many Paula's Choice products for working well on sensitive skin and note the brand holds its own against pricier competitors, though not every formula lands. The main split centers on ethics: some gurus flag that the brand lost its Leaping Bunny cruelty-free certification and now sits under Unilever ownership, which they see as misleading given its former messaging. Price creep is also a sticking point for those watching the cost climb. A heads-up: the brand doesn't focus on pigmentation concerns, so those looking for that may need to look elsewhere.
