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.

Nope - 2nd choice
I do not care for the liquid as much as I do the gels. And others have said just stay clear of the lotion. My preference is the gel in both the AHA & BHA. This is an extremely important product to have & to use.

haven't noticed anything spectacular
I have heard all the rage about this acid toner. But i have been using it on and off for about two months now. I haven'r really notice any quick results like my other acid toners. My skin usually respond very well to BHA. It shows immediate effect ob me. But this doesn't. and it's not bad nor is ti amazing. so it's kinda of a meh product.

Great Product - helps keep the skin clear
Both my husband and I use this as a toner at night. It keeps the pores clean and helps keep the skin blemish free. It does not dry the skin out at the same time helps control oiliness. I have been using it on my arms and legs for keratosis pilaris too.

Every other night I use this skin perfecting bha exfoliant on my nose and chin. It does a great job getting rid of blackheads and any little bumps.

Saving grace
This stuff is as great as everyone says. I think it's done more to improve my skin texture, hyperpigmentation, acne scarring, and enlarged/congested pores than anything else. Just take it slow when you introduce it to your routine! Don't ruin your moisture barrier with this like I did. Start with once a week and then maybe ease up to three times a week. Your skin will thank you.

Absolute Best Stuff!!
I've used this exfoliant for a couple of years now, can't live with out it. I have rosacea and I'm very careful with what I put on my face. This does not irritate at all, quite the opposite. Love, love how it makes my face feel.

Aggressive, Greasy, and Breaks me out
If you are still undergoing an acne phase, I'd suggest reconsidering purchase this. The BHA makes your face red and even though it doesn't cause photosensitivity like AHA does, it still makes your skin thinner and more sensitive. The texture is greasy and clear, and it doesn't absorb easily. The smell is not pleasant either. There are many other exfoliating products that are more natural and more effective and offer much better user experience, I would not recommend this.

Great toner for resurfacing skin
Very gentle formula and works well to combat whiteheads on my sensitive and dry skin. I definitely always layer with a strong moisturizer and can only use once daily when my skin is in a reactive &/or dry state.

Really Helps With Controlling Acne
This is a great exfoliant to help control acne and gently exfoliate the skin. If the Liquid is too strong, try the gel or lotion versions which are a little more gentle. I like that Paula's Choice has this product in three different versions.
