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.

Works like a charm
The best!! I use it 2-3x a week, it gets rid off all texture in my face. I usually only use it on my T-zone and chin, to get rid of black/whiteheads.

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.
