PRODUCT RATING KEY:
 identifies a "Paula's Pick," meaning a product that exceeds expectations and goes beyond the criteria for a product in its category with minimal to no concerns. Note: Hair-care products never receive a Paula’s Pick rating because there are so many excellent products with remarkably similar formulations, none stand out as truly “superior.”
 identifies a "Paula's Pick," meaning a product that exceeds expectations and goes beyond the criteria for a product in its category with minimal to no concerns, but is unreasonably priced. Note: Hair-care products never receive a Paula’s Pick rating because there are so many excellent products with remarkably similar formulations, none stand out as truly “superior.”
 specifies a great product that is highly recommended because of its performance or impressive formulary characteristics.
 designates a great product that meets and/or surpasses the criteria set for that category of product but is unreasonably priced.
 indicates an OK but unimpressive product, or an OK product that can cause problems for certain skin types. I often use this face to portray a dated or old-fashioned product formulation.
 indicates an ordinary, boring product whose excessive price makes it ludicrous to consider.
 reflects a product that is truly bad for skin from almost every standpoint, including price, dated formulations, performance, application, and texture, as well as potential for irritation, skin reactions, and breakouts.
