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.

Do not understand the hype...
I really cannot stand the feeling of this product. I read numerous raving reviews prior to purchasing, and ingredients seemed short and simple. I had assumed this product would feel like a liquidy toner, you apply with a cotton pad similar to a toner. Well I couldn't be more wrong. Yes, it is liquidy, you can shake it and it will sounds like a toner would. However the texture and feel is unlike anything I've ever used before....in the worst way. It feels insanely greasy on the skin. Literally never dries down. I've tried applying numerous different ways, and even with the slightest light coat of this it felt greasy and slimy with same issue...it NEVER DRIES. It stays tacky and made it nearly impossible to apply my moisturizer or beauty oil after. I even wait a few hours one night and skin was still tacky and gross. I also didn't notice any amazing improvements. My skin literally felt suffocated. I really do not understand all the hype. I'd much rather use a good peel or toner with a few acids in it that I know won't leave my skin feeling slimy and tacky. Need to return this asap, I had much higher hopes for it and have been an Esthetician for 12+ years.

Bacne fix
I use this whenever my bacne flares up and it always settles it down. It's a liquid so I pour some on a cotton pad and wipe the affected area. It's always rescues dirt too!

Good Product
I've been using this product consistently for about 2 weeks now. It hasn't done anything miraculous to the pesky blackheads I have on my chin, but I have noticed that my skin is looking a little more even. The scent is light, but reminds me of nail polish remover. Luckily it does go away quickly. The consistency is greasy slightly greasy, which doesn't bother me. I plan on using it for a longer period of time and have high hopes for the product.

Tried and True
I've used Paula's Choice products off-and-on for several years, but in the last couple of years had put this brand aside to try new ones. I recently saw a NY Magazine blog post about this exfoliant and decided to purchase it again. It's been only about a week and a half or two since I started using it (twice a day, as recommended), but wow! Already I see a noticeable difference in the evenness of my skin tone and the apparent size of my pores between / just above my eyebrows (seeing those suckers in the mirror for the last couple of months had been driving me INSANE).
