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.

BEST PRODUCT EVER
This product is AMAZING at keeping my acne in control and improving the overall texture/appearance of my skin. I have persistent hormonal acne, and while I still get the occasional pimple, this product helps to keep things at bay. It is gentle enough that I can use it every morning, of course following with moisturizer and sunscreen. I have been using it for about two weeks and am obsessed. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a gentle, yet effective chemical exfoliant.

Great exfoliant
I can see why this is such a cult product. My skin glows every time I use this. I've only used this for a couple of weeks but I have a feeling it will end up bring a holy grail of mine. Would definitely repurchase.

Paula's Choice BHA Exfoliant
Works wonders in diminishing breakouts. Love that I can just swipe it on and not have to worry about washing it off after. Definitely recommend purchasing the larger size (4 oz) as the 1 oz is tiny. Best used at night to avoid any exposure to the sun.

Magic in a bottle
I don't know what I can add that every person who has ever tried this product hasn't already... This exfoliant works wonders. If I ever forget to pack this product when traveling, I'm immediately reminded why I developed my skincare regimen. As soon as I use this product again, my texture and blackhead bumps disappear.

HOLY GRAIL
MY HOLY GRAIL/CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT/MUST TAKE WITH ME EVERYWHERE PRODUCT! I have never recommended a product with my whole being to my friends and family like I've done with this. I've been getting very bad acne with having to wear the masks on all shift for work in the hospital. They're red bumps and also small little bumps all over my chin that I've never experienced before. I researched online to see what could help with it and came across this. I use this maybe every other night and it has done the best in clearing that area up. Whenever I feel like my skin is freaking out, this is my go-to. Highly highly recommend!

CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT
OMG OMG OMG. Seriously buy it. Holy freakin grail stuff right here. I use about 3x a week at night and i swear it has single handedly gotten rid of all blackheads in my t-zone and cleared up any and all hormonal spots i was getting. There is a reason this stuff has so many positive reviews and is sold out sometimes. It's a cult favorite for good reason. Using 3x a week the bottle lasts me 3+ months. You can apply after toning with your fingertips or with some gauze (what I apply all my liquid toners/exfoliants with). Give it a try if you have any type of acne/blackheads/whatever. Don't recommend using 2x a day, daily right off the bat as that would probably overwhelm any skin type. Try 2-3x a week 1x a day at first and see what it does. I find it a little oily / it leaves the skin with a sheen which is why I use it at night.

Works, but it's a texture thing
I think this did a good job of clearing my pores of gunk, but ai just couldn't get past the film residue it left on my skin. I only got the trial size and I did finish it, but I didn't think to repurchase. There are other bha products that are more pleasant to use in my opinion.
