This gentle leaveon exfoliant works within the pore lining to prevent congestion & blemishes. 2% BHA is clinically proven to visibly reduce pores, control oil & support skin's barrier. Exfoliation helps the rest of your routine absorb better and work harder for a glowing, makeupready complexion.
Ingredients:
- BHA (beta hydroxy acid): Penetrates pores to clear blemishcausing buildup and shed dead skin.
- Green Tea Extract: Potent antioxidant quickly calms redness & soothes skin barrier.
- Methylpropanediol: Hydrates & prevents water loss while visibly improving skin's glow.

Love it for my sensitive skin
I have very sensitive skin so I'm very cautious to what I apply on my face. No stinging, no burning!

First time user
Happy with product so far. Seems to exfoliate without being too harsh. Skin feels smooth and not dried out after using.

Game changer
I wanted something that would remove acne scars and I was recommended this. Safe to say slowly but surely my acne scars are disappearing and keeping a lot of new hormonal acne that comes up at bay. I genuinely recommend if you have acne give this product a try! (Although it does smell like glue a bit it's not that noticeable unless I sniff the bottle)

Great but Use with Caution
I absolutely love this chemical exfoliant for my sensitive skin. I only use it about 2x a week though. This took much trial and error to figure out. The bottle says you can use it every day, 2x a day, PLEASE DON'T DO THIS, especially if you have sensitive skin. Work up your tolerance - start 1x a week and work your way up. Once I figured out how to properly use this for my skin type, I started to see fantastic results. I get less breakouts and my pores look smaller!

Really Effective but BE CAREFUL
I have sensitive skin, and I know that daily exfoliation is waaaay too harsh for me. That being said, upon reading the product instructions of "use up to twice daily," I threw caution to the wind and thought "why not." I was using it every night for about 3-4 days... and suddenly my chin was absolutely covered in small, hard, irritated bumps. Don't get me wrong, this is a great product and part of the reason I was using it daily was because the results were so immediate. However, be careful. Ease yourself into it and, even then, probably don't use more than 3-4 times a week.

Strong stuff
I have combination skin with monthly hormonal acne. This really helped clear up blackheads on my nose and pores on my T zone. I usually get a few cystic pimples on my chin during my cycle and using this regularly helped keep it down to one very minimal spot. I started out using this daily and it was a little drying. I cut back to 3x a week and use a moisturizer with hyaluronic acid, and the dryness resolved. I'm going to save this for summer when I'm oilier and try the 1%.

decent not my favorite but im not mad at it
I tried it and at first I loved it but now its not my favorite but im definitely not mad at it. Im going to bump up my usage and see if it changes my mind from good to awesome. glad I tried. my skin is pretty dry and this is my first "chemical exfoliator". all in all good experience nothing really bad to say about it.

Great exfoliator and awesome buy! A must buy!
After reading multiple reviews and doing my research, I decided to try this. After just using it for a few times, my skin was just glowing and pores were diminished. It works really well for blackheads (T-zone) and really helps with minimizing pores. A little goes a long way and I only apply at nite. I am really impressed by this line and will try other Paula's choice products. I wish I learned about his product years ago!
