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.

Skin/Life Changing!
When your hairstylist compliments your skin while washing your hair - GLOWING! I can't be more excited about this product. I'm new to chemical exfoliants and now will never not incorporate BHAs into my skin routine. This was easy to add to my minimal routine. I use it almost daily, in the morning after my cleanser and before my moisturizer. This alongside my nighttime retinoid has completely changed my pore-problem. My skin did get worse before it got better but if you can stick it out the results are life-changing! My lifelong blackheads are clearing up, my skin texture is becoming more smooth, and my mask acne (which was another horrible addition to 2020) is finally calming down. Thank you, Paula!

Life Changing Product!!
This product is a total game changer. I have been using different types of acne treatments including ones prescribed by a dermatologist and nothing has cleared my acne like this product. It only took about a week or two to completely clear my acne with no new breakouts. I used it am and pm. Highly recommend!!

Love It for My Sensitive Skin
I have super sensitive skin that reacts to so many products. Pleased to report that this is not one of them! I use it once or twice a week at night, when I am not using a retinol product. I feel like it makes my skin super smooth and prevents clogged pores.

Minimizes blackheads
I received this product first in a small sample, and I loved it so much I knew I needed to incorporate it into my daily skin care routine. My blackheads are reducing thanks to this product.

Good BHA Exfoliant
I usually prefer AHAs for my dry skin, but using this 1-2x a week on blackheads and breakouts really helps.

Can't live without
Since discovering a few years ago, I can't live without this enhancement in my nightly routine. It keeps forehead blackheads and whiteheads around the nose at bay. It keeps my complexion clear and is great for daily gentle exfoliation. Highly recommend for folks with t-zone, combo or oily skin.

pore control + non-sensitizing + worth the hype + holy grail
Anyone who is in the skincare world has heard people talk to death about this and now I will! I have very dry slightly combo skin prone to a bit of hormonal acne. Before using this my skin had become used to chemical exfoliants like the rave beauty 5% aha and the pharmacy beauty 10%? aha 2% bha. I felt like the pharmacy was too intense for any more than 2-4 times a month so I finally decided to try this out and oh my word my skin is so much better. It's not totally clear, (partially bc I've been really anxiously picking at my skin throughout the day) but it helps reduce the look of pores and helps prevent and manage breakouts better than anything else I've tried. I also used to have tiny, tiny bumps all over my jawline, like the full length and maybe three inches tall and after 1-2 uses they were gone! I only care about them being gone bc I hated how it felt. Anyways this product is more than worth the hype. Obviously everyone's skin is different, but this has help my skin immensely! It also very importantly isn't very drying! I was pleasantly surprised by the texture, especially once worked into the skin. It's almost like the laneige cream skin finish. slightly tacky, but not annoyingly so. It feels nourishing for a bha. ok I think that's it. this product is so good. no frills. just gives what the skin needs.
