Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant 118ml
Product Description
What we say
The powerhouse ingredient behind this gentle, exfoliating liquid is BHA, a clinically-proven blemish buster that works to unclog pores down to their oiliest depths. As well as this, Witch Hazel and Green Tea Extract help soothe skin with reparative anti-oxidants so the complexion is left bright and clear.
A leave-on liquid exfoliant containing 2% BHA (salicylic acid) that dissolves built-up dead skin cells on the skin's surface and inside the pore, unclogging pores and improving skin cell turnover rate. The result is a dramatic improvement in the skin's appearance, feel and function which leads to healthier skin, clearer and younger-looking skin.Paula's Choice is a PETA certified cruelty-free brand; they do not test any of their products on animals.
Directions
Lightly soak a cotton pad and gently apply over the entire face and neck, including the eye area (avoid lash line and eyelids). Do not rinse.
At first, apply every other day and note skin’s response. Then use up to twice daily. For daytime, follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen rated SPF 30 or greater.
Start slowly: Apply every other day and note skin's response. Then use up to twice daily.
For daytime, always finish with a sunscreen rated SPF 30 or above. For nighttime, follow with the rest of your routine.

Good product
I had a full-size bottle but I’m not 100 sure if this product helped with my blackheads. I did forget to use it sometimes for a few days, so maybe it was my fault but I haven’t seen a spectacular improvement in my skin.

Magical
I purchased this after having finished a bottle of the Naturium toner, and can confirm I prefer the Paula's Choice much more! Some reviews commented on the oiliness of this toner, but I actually quite like this feature. My skin is super soft after use, and this "oiliness" is more of a healthy glow to my skin. It's not something that transfers when I press a finger to my face. If you have sensitive skin, I'd recommend to only use this twice a week max otherwise your skin barrier may freak out and cause unnecessary breakouts. If you're slow and careful with this formula your skin texture will improve and you should hopefully notice less breakouts over time!

I Absolutely Love This
For me, paired with the cleanser, this works like magic, I’m prone to blackheads on my chin and around my nose, after just the first use there was such a drastic difference, my skin looks so much more clear and smooth, my pores look smaller and my skin doesn’t feel as bumpy, I have combination-dry leaning skin, usually quite sensitive too, this didn’t trigger any sensitivity or dryness, I love this stuff. As with any skincare, I would recommend getting the travel sized versions first to see how it works with your skin!

Hii can I use this with the ordinary niacinamide and vitamin c serum?
You can use vitamin c with niacinamide and niacinamide with salicylic acid but you cannot use salicylic acid with vitamin c as it lessons it’s effects.

I used this and I started to get small skin colour spots. Is that supposed to happen?
I would guess not, it didn’t happen to me anyway

I am a 61 year old with dry, flaky skin. Would you recommend this product. I have been looking for a good cruelty free exfoliator for some time but worry about the drying effect.
I never had any issues with drying. It works well as an exfoliant but isn’t over drying. I’d introduce it slowly once or twice a week and then increase usage.

Should it be used daily or weekly ?
I think it depends on your skin type. I use it every other evening and see good results.

Are the active ingredients something a dermatologist could or would prescribe?
