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.
Clinical Results:
- 'Clinically proven to visibly reduce pores & control oil
- Based on an independent clinical study with 32 subjects after 4 weeks.

Gamechanger
This has been the one part of my routine that made a noticeable difference...and fast! Whenever I fall off the wagon on my skincare routine I am surprised how quickly this BHA clears my skin back up. I'm on my third bottle and I'll keep using Paula's Choice because the products are simple and effective.

It delivers!
I have fairly oily skin and I just started using this a few nights a week a few weeks ago. I think it has been successful in making my skin brighter and less dull, so I'm happy with it and would definitely recommend giving it a try!

My Favorite BHA
This is the only BHA/salicylic acid I will use! Yes, it does have a sticky/greasy feeling that lingers briefly on the skin until dry, but this doesn't bother me as I use it in my skin care routine at night. I also only use this product 2-3 times per week as this frequency works well without overdrying my skin and keeping my sensitive, acne-prone skin breakout free.

Dried out my skin
This dried my skin out almost immediately, even if I only used it a couple times a week

Didn't Work for Me Personally
I have really sensitive skin so either this was too strong or I was using it with too many other products at the same time. Unfortunately, my face got red, dry, and broke out.

Blackheads be gone!
I've used many different BHA toners to get rid of blackheads and shrink large pores on my nose and chin and this is the best of them all! I saw results immediately and it didn't make my sensitive skin turn red or get flaky. Highly recommend!

A decent BHA
I desperately wanted this product to be my cure-all. Impossible for any one product to do that, I know. However, this particular BHA dries me out quite a bit. One to two times a week seems to be the max my skin can handle right now. That being said... I have had better success with using this on my back acne and just as a spot treatment for my face.

My first exfoliating product
Ok so this isn't my very first product but it is my first exfoliating product in a long time because sometimes I have sensitive skin and exfoliators always made me nervous. I really like this one because it's a chemical exfoliant which tends to be gentler on my skin when not used too often as opposed to a physical exfoliator. I'm still in the testing phase. I've used it a couple times a week for almost a month and I do think it's helped with my acne and generally made my skin softer. I'm going to stick with it and I'm hopeful it will continue to work for my skin.
