  • FAQ

    Good to know before you start using your exfoliant.

    It is best to gradually build up use of a BHA product. Start by using your exfoliant once every other day and then increase usage to once or twice daily based on your skin’s response. You need to experiment a bit to see what suits your skin best. During the day, always use a moisturiser with a broad-spectrum sunscreen rated SPF 30 or greater. Your skin will in fact be slightly more sensitive to sunlight when using an exfoliant, so the chance of sunburn and sun damage is slightly higher.

    What’s different about this aftershave?

    PC4Men Soothe + Smooth is so much more than aftershave. It soothes skin and reduces redness right after shaving, but it also helps fight breakouts, signs of ageing, and significantly improves skin texture. Soothe + Smooth is for any man who wants smooth, clear skin and is concerned with preventing signs of ageing and breakouts. It’s ideal for all skin types, even sensitive.

    Why do I need to follow with an SPF moisturiser during the day?

    Because PC4Men Soothe + Smooth exfoliates skin, it’s important to keep this new, healthier skin protected from UV damage. Using a daytime moisturiser with a sunscreen like PC4Men Daytime Protect SPF 30 will protect your skin from the sun’s rays, which can damage skin even on cloudy days and lead to premature ageing.

    How is PC4Men Soothe + Smooth different from the other Paula’s Choice facial exfoliants?

    Our PC4Men Soothe + Smooth is actually identical to our Resist Daily Pore-Refining Treatment 2% BHA. This formula is ideal for freshly shaved skin because of the non-irritating, skin-repairing ingredients that work together to calm redness.
