- 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.

Pretty good
This is a really great product. I have repurchased 2 or 3 times. Texture definitely improves skin texture and its excellent when youre fighting zits and inflammation. Because it leaves a little oily finish i like using this more at night than morning.

Holy Grail BHA
I use this nightly after washing my face and it keeps my oily skin balanced and pores clear. After washing my face in the PM, I like to shake the bottle and dispense it on an "exfoliating" cotton pad and run the pad gently across my face. The pad picks up leftover dirt and makeup from the day that my cleanser missed. I then wait 30 seconds and then rinse this product off. You don't need to rinse, but I find this method works best in my routine. I've repurchased this product so many times I've lost count.

Good enough results, but not outstanding
I have been using the product for a few months now. I do notice my skin get smoother and pores are reduced, but not remarkably. It leaves skin a bit sticky and oily immediately after applying; however, my skin feels quite dry after the liquid is fully absorbed. I only use the exfoliant 2-3 times a week - it can be too harsh to my skin if used more often than that.

Skincare staple
This evened out my skin tone and faded my acne scars. I just pat a bit on my face, wait for it to dry, then follow with a strong moisturizer. One thing I found was a little went a long way. When I first used it, I slathered it all over my face, and while it did work - I saw some fading on my acne scars - it also dried my skin out and I needed to remoisturize a lot throughout the day. Now I just use a few drops and it works just as well and no dry skin.

Staple for acne routine
watery texture and fast absorbing. No strong fragrance at all. Noticed post - acne spots lighten w/ regular use.

Skincare Staple
Using a PC BHA has helped to keep my pores clear and unclogged. It has helped to get rid of my blackheads on my chin and nose and to FINALLY get rid of milia (those hard white bumps that sometimes appear, especially under your eyes). I rotate it with another product about 2 mornings a week and that seems to be my sweet spot. But certain times when my skin is acting up I will do 3-4 times as week. I put some on a cotton pad and press it all over my face. Then I apply the PC vitamin C Serum. My skin looks INSANE. So beautiful. The best it ever has in my life.

Highly recommend it
This 2% BHA liquid exfoliant can soften dead skin and dissolve blackheads and whiteheads well. After using couple of times, my skin feel less oily and much softer. Will keep using this. Don't use this too frequently, otherwise your skin burns.

This has really helped my post-acne marks
Very happy with this! I use it morning and night except the nights I use an alpha hydroxy moisturizer. The red marks that stay behind after every breakout, including a horrible cystic one, have faded quite a bit. There was some drying at first, but my skin has acclimated. I pat any residue that might remain with tissue. I also only use it where needed, including over my crow's feet as per bottle. Yay collagen-building!
