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.

SO SO product
I have not been able to use this product consistently because it does cause me to break out. But when I do, it seems to shrink pores a bit. Just be sure to use it carefully if you have sensitive skin.

Pore visibility has stopped bugging me
This last year, it seemed like the pores on my cheeks were staring at me every time I looked in the mirror! It was driving me nuts. A couple months now after I having started using this product, the pores haven't disappeared, but they've shrunken (?) enough to where I'm not really noticing them anymore. I think my skin gets flaky if I use it too much though, but once a day seems to be okay (and skipping a day or two here and there). Looking forward to more progress.

Powerful yet gentle exfoliant
I really like this exfoliant. I have very sensitive acne-prone skin and this is working well for me. Because my skin is sensitive and combination with some dry spots, I only use this a couple times a week, but that seems to be sufficient. It helps clear up any surfacing blemishes and definitely improves my skin tone. It does make my skin a little bit red at first but it quickly goes away. I know it's working really well to exfoliant but also isn't too harsh that it stings or causes irritation. Definitely recommend.

Solid product
I enjoyed this product because it's lightweight and it works. My pores were smaller and less congested as well as helped further breakouts from forming.

So far, so good.
I just started using this product a month ago, and right from the start I haven't seen a product deliver results so quickly! I was surprised at what issues it corrected, that I've struggled with for so long. It's improved my skins texture and dark spots almost instantly.

STOP ✋ reading reviews
and buy this now !! Seriously! I have NEVER had a product change my skin more effectively!! I'm 46 and have hormonal acne prone oily skin, with terrible texture, and large pores. As an added bonus (whoohoo) I have super sensitive skin that will break out if a product is too harsh . I'm so glad that I tried this !! My skin texture is changing so quickly, I started my usage slowly, but now I can use it every day without any adverse affects! Seriously, a facial in a bottle. I'm a lifetime customer.

Best acid serum
One of the best exfoliating serums for acne, blackheads and pores. Helps with textured bumpy skin too.

Cult Status for a Reason
This is so amazing for blackheads. Even though my skin is normal to dry, I had TONS of blackheads all over my forehead and cheeks. This helped get rid of them! So effective, and the formula is lightly hydrating instead of stripping like most BHAs. Make sure to only use this 3x a week, or 1-2x if you're sensitive/dry like me!

Fabulous substitute for retin a
I'm 56 and have skin that is getting dryer as I get older but I deal with milia and have dealt with bumpy textured skin. I see a dermatologist who has done extractions on the milia and recommended tretinoin which, after a year of use, actually made my milia worse along with drying my already dry skin out more. I tried Paula's Choice SKIN PERFECTING 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant and found it helped my milia and didn't dry out my skin. Forget tretinoin, this products works better for me. Also if I do get a breakout, one use of this reduces the severity significantly. I use this product as part of my night time routine and my skin is soft and glowing and smooth and my texture has disappeared.
