I didn’t expect to love this little set as much as I did! All products worked well and for a good price. This is the perfect set to take while traveling to keep up with your skin care routine. The face wash lathered nicely and the exfoliant did its job without any burning or irritation. The hydrating fluid absorbed quickly with no stickiness left behind. Definitely recommend!

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I really enjoyed this product , funnily enough I was going to buy the exfoliater because I have been wanted to try a liquid one and I think the whole set was great but my favorite was the face wash. I like that it’s thick and you can just use it , other times I’ve had to use two kinds of face wash to ensure I was able to take off my makeup. So it was great and it smelled fresh. I did like that the products were thick and I felt like my skin absorbed everything. I think the set is a great value especially when your traveling and need a skincare to go kit. I will buy these products again
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] After a little over a week of using this product I can actually see a slight difference in my pores, they are less noticeable. I think this product is pretty good and with continuous use im sure im going to see even more results. Remind you this was a sample size product. I didnt have any breakouts while using this product which sometimes I do when using a new face product Overall I would recommend this to someone to try out. I liked it
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I was already a fan of Paula’s Choice 2% BHA for years but was so excited to try this set of mini skincare routine. I must say like most things from this brand this set did not disappoint. My face felt fresh and clean after the face wash. A little went a long way. The next step is the BHA exfoliant. I usually use this at night and every other day because my skin is sensitive. This product sucks everything out of your pores and keeps them clean and acne free. I enjoyed the moisturizer this set comes with because it includes spf, which would be essential for day time after washing your face and whether you used the exfoliant or not. Overall, this is a perfect travel size set to have when you’re traveling! I would definitely consider purchasing full sizes to have at home as well because it’s a simple yet effective daytime routine !!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I’m a creature of habit and very rarely switch products. Testing products like this allow me to try something without investing in going outside my comfort zone. Usually, skin products are a huge no for me because I’m prone to dry skin and patchiness and that’s why I never switch. I was pleasantly surprised by this product. I initially only tested it on a small spot so if it made me break out or itchy, then I would be okay to stop using it. It was surprisingly gentle and even with this time of the year where my skin is normally dry in general, it made a small difference. That made me inclined to try it on my overall face. I can honestly say this is the first new face lotion I have looked at in years where I’d consider buying it instead of my norm!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Okay, let’s talk about the Paula’s Choice Mini Must-Haves Set — it comes with the 2% BHA Exfoliating Toner, Foaming Cleanser, and SPF 50 Moisturizer, and honestly, these “minis” are a really generous size. I’ve been using this set for a while now, and I love that it even includes a little guide showing what order to use everything in on the box, plus recommendations for what to layer in between steps if you want extra benefits. The Foaming Cleanser is such a nice start. It’s a soft gel that lathers beautifully and leaves my face feeling super clean but not stripped. Now, the 2% BHA Exfoliating Toner — I didn’t have super high expectations at first, even though my sister swore by it. She told me it helped minimize her pores, especially around her nose, and I have to admit… she was right. After a few uses, those little dark pores on my nose started to fade or completely disappear. Like, what was even in there?! Gross but also so satisfying. Finally, the SPF 50 Moisturizer — I’m obsessed. It’s lightweight, absorbs easily, and doesn’t leave any greasy or shiny spots. It does have that classic sunscreen scent, but it feels so good on the skin and gives me peace of mind knowing I’m protected. I honestly love love love this set and totally recommend it — especially if you’ve been curious about Paula’s Choice but don’t know where to start. This little trio is the perfect intro. 💕
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I think this is a good trial set for anyone interested in the exfoliant and other items from Paula’s Choice. If you have dry skin this may be a bit harsh for regular use but if you try once a week it should be fine. There’s no strong scent attached to any product. The packages are cute and very travel friendly like advertised. Would I buy all three? No. But would I buy the exfoliant? Yes! I received this product for free for my honest review.
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Great product. I enjoyed everything about it, including the three step process. The fact that it’s the three products in a small size allows you to try the product before buying the full-size products. 
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] These really are must haves! Love every product in this kit. The foaming cleanser is gentle on my sensitive skin. The BHA exfoliant is also very gentle. I love that the hydrating fluid has SPF 50. I could smell the spf but id rather that than some synthetic perfume. The fluid is really a fluid you can tell in the pic. Its not thick like a lotion so it goes on super easy. Great trio kit, totally recommend trying!
I purchased this kit out of necessity. Was on vacation and forgot my facial products. A friend of mine recommended this and I’ve since purchased full sized versions of the products in this kit. All great for my acne pron oily skin. Pores seemed less visible and fewer acne breakouts
