Paula’s Choice Shipping Policy Canada

If you are from Canada and you shop on Paula’s Choice, you will be charged in USD. This means that you should add approximately 30% on top of every price you see on the website since all prices are shown in USD.

You CAN get Free Shipping from Paula’s Choice when you spend $49 or more after all promo and discount codes are used. This means that you need to spend $49 USD before you can get free shipping to Canada.

Standard shipping to Canada is $7.50 and will take 14 business less after shipment date.

Does Paula’s Choice Charge Duties and Taxes at Checkout to Canadians?

Paula’s Choice does charge duties and taxes to Canadians at checkout on the website.

Paula’s Choice Return Policy Canada

Paula’s Choice does have a 100% money back guarantee even if you have used the product. They guarantee that the product will always work on your skin otherwise they will provide you with a refund.

This return is hassle free within 60 days, meaning they won’t question you and have to offer you a refund according to their policy.

If you are from Canada and paid for shipping, this cost is non-refundable and you cannot get a refund for shipping.

On their website, all costs are in USD so be careful when you apply the promo codes to think you’re getting a better deal.

Is Paula’s Choice Coming to Sephora Canada?

There was news that Paula’s Choice was supposed to come to Sephora Canada but likely because of COVID, it is taking longer to launch. You can see from my screenshot that as of today, June 26 2021, Paula’s Choice is NOT available at Sephora after doing a search for the brand.

Is Paula’s Choice Worth the Money?

YES! Paula’s Choice is one of the best skincare brands and it is moderately priced. Paula’s Choice is loved by people because the products actually get results. All of the products are researched thoroughly and there’s even an ingredients dictionary on their website that ranks all of the common skincare ingredients.

The reviews of Paula’s Choice have always been very good that people are asking for the brand to be more present in Canada. Also, Unilever has acquired and now owns Paula’s Choice and a brand such as Unilever wouldn’t purchase a company without doing further research.

Is the Ordinary as Good as Paula’s Choice?

No, the Ordinary seems like it has great reviews but keep in mind there is only one active ingredient per product. Paula’s Choice is formulated to combat direct skin concerns such as: exfoliating, hydrating and clinical. The ingredients are better researched and overall the brand has won more awards than The Ordinary.

Even though Paula’s Choice is a bit more expensive than the Ordinary, it isn’t too much more and you are getting much better value for the money in Paula’s Choice.

Best Selling Paula’s Choice Products

The Paula’s Choice Replenishing Moisturizer is one of the best anti-aging moisturizers for dry skin. It releases moisture to the skin over time and is a dupe for the Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream. The Replenishing Moisturizer has similar peptides, antioxidants and botanicals that work together to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and overall smooth out the skin.

This is the only dupe for the Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream to date.

Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant

Quite possibly the BEST selling Paula’s Choice product and what made the brand so popular is the 2% BHA liquid exfoliant.
