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.

Harsh with poor texture
This product has a greasy feeling on the skin and does not feel like it absorbs. I have used other chemical exfoliants and not experienced such a reaction as I did with this. Even with taking precautions and using a small amount, this product felt horrible on my skin and totally sensitized me, made my face read, and seemed to make breakouts worse. I could barely use any of my bottle.

Effective!!
I had read all the reviews about this product being amazing! However, I was skeptical - a lot of times when I buy things with rave reviews they aren't all they're cracked up to be. At first when I started using it I didn't notice any change at all and I was super upset. I figured it was just another failed product. After using it for about a month I started noticing my pores seemed to be smaller and my skin was much more smooth. I do recommend giving this product to try, but make sure you give it time to work.

Excellent Toner
I tried this exfoliant after a breakout (I'm 50). I had tried a new skincare product that had coconut oil in it and it made me breakout. I put a few drops of this toner in the palm of my hand, targeted where the breakouts were, and in about a week, they were gone. This is probably PC's best known product, and for good reason. It targets areas of breakout/concern, but does so with additional healing/calming ingredients as well as SA. This is a stellar product and I'll buy this one for life when I'm silly enough to let makeup artists try some pore clogging skincare on my skin. This is a product for all ages and all skin types (I have rosacea). There is no scent to this product, and the texture is watery. I recommend patting this into troubled areas, or using a cotton round to spread evenly throughout the face/neck/chest.

Perfect product
I am on my 5th bottle of this stuff. It is both hydrating and lightly exfoliating and great for acne. It is iconic.

GreatProduct
This was a great product. My sister recomended it to me and I had to give it a try after seeing the effects it had on her skin. Although my skin didn't have that much texture to start off with it definitely helped the appearance of my overall skin.

Blackhead Killer.
I prefer the liquid to the gel, fyi. I have tried both and this liquid exfoliant is the answer to my perennially-clogged pores. It's my fourth or fifth purchase at this point. Will repurchase until the end of time because I CANNOT STAND strawberry-nose. And this is much better than picking at my face!

This did the trick
I struggled with acne scarring. This product helped lighten the scars and keep my skin smooth. I've been using it for just over 6 months and plan to keep buying it!

New to Exfoliant
What caught my eye when reading about Exfoliant is that Rosacea is one of the things it is good for. I was told I had rosacea years ago, but have not been bothered much by it. Lately though, it seems my skin has more of an orange peel texture and a few little red lines are showing up. I use Exfoliant after washing my face and it feels like it is lubricating my skin. I didn't expect it to feel this good. Since I have only had it a few weeks, it is too early to tell what the outcome will be, but so far, I like it a lot.

Tried for about a month
I use normally use skinceuticals LHA toner but thought I'd give this one a try because of the reviews and price but unfortunately it didn't have a positive effect on my face, I'll stick with the LHA toner
