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.

Effective!
I definitely think this stuff helps reduce breakouts. If you have dry skin, this might now be for you, but otherwise it's great

Favorite Exfoliator
I really loved this BHA. This is one of my first chemical exfoliators and I will continue to purchase it again and again. It's very deep, so I only use it 2 times a week. Brightens my skin and removes all the dead skin cells.

HG BHA Forever!!
I have been using Paula's Choice products for years. And even though I have veered away from PC on cleansers and some other products, the one constant is the 2% BHA Liquid!

Excellent Toner for Acne Prone Skin
This is an excellent toner for acne prone skin. I find it unclogs my pores (especially around my nose), brightens and smooths texture. I am someone who suffers from cystic acne and feel this has really helped my skin over the years. More so than other toners, this product helps control redness and calm inflammation. Highly recommend for you acne suffers out there!

Clears minor bumps
I've only been using this product for 3 days and I'm on here writing a review! I use retinol so I was afraid to ahh salicylic acid to my routine as to not irritate my skin. However, I've been dealing with blackheads and minor bumps. This stuff has cleared up both of those up in days. My skin just looks clearer and it is gentle on my skin - no irritation!

staple toner !!!!!!
Believe the hype !! this toner gives me an instant poreless facelift and over time it will brighten your dark spots and even your skin. Helps with rough texture as well. Gives a shiny afterlook ....just put on moisturizer and a good translucent powder for shine. NO makeup needed !!

Pleasantly surprised
Aside from the occasional inflamed bumps, my skin texture is relatively smooth. However, no matter what I do and how diligent I am in my skincare regimen, I have clogged pores. I found that AHA and retinoids have done wonders for the surface but absolutely nothing for the congestion so after extensive research (endless hrs on google) I learned that I needed salicylic acid to dissolve that gunk from my pores so I found this product had great reviews at a very fair price point. I was expecting a stinging and drying solution but I was pleasantly surprised to find how gentle and moisturizing this was! I know it works on some level because after double cleansing and toning, my cotton ball with this solution had picked up excess dirt/oil that my toner cotton ball had not. Although my pores are still clogged, I think this is a great product

My must-have skincare product
Nearly a year ago, I had gotten my cystic acne under control but I started getting bumps all over my forehead and I googled how to get rid of them. I stumbled upon a girl that swore by this product and after some research, I decided to try it. I used it at night and by the next morning I remember being shocked by how it transformed my skin. I'm not kidding, I was in disbelief. Not all of the bumps were completely gone but I just couldn't believe how much better my skin looked after only using the product once. Fast forward to almost a year later, I still love this product so much. I get white heads occasionally but this product makes them less noticeable right away. I honestly cannot recommend enough. I haven't noticed a difference in pore size or wrinkles (i'm only in my early twenties) but I've never felt more confident in my skin.
