Doesn’t irritate
This product is easy to apply. Is liquid form that settles in a few minutes and allows to layer products. I have sensitive skin and did not irritate my skin, however, I only applied once a day in evening a few times a week in the beginning, it did not make my skin dry or red. I feel that it gently exfoliates without having to rub a product on skin that can further damage skin. I suffer from acne and did not cause further irritation to active acne. I recommend trying if looking for a way to exfoliate without using harsh products that scrape skin. I felt like this along with my normal routine has given me clearer skin

Mixed feelings
I’ve been given this product several times over the past couple years and I’m not sure how I feel about it. I have oily, but not sensitive, skin and although it worked fairly well on blemishes, it became extremely drying very quickly. I recommend taking this product less frequently than the instructions say and following with a hydrating serum and moisturizer.

Absolute classic that never fails to deliver
I’ve been using this product for, oh my gosh, over 20 years now. It’s total gold standard for unwanted texture and blackheads. Classic, effective liquid exfoliant with green tea for light added antioxidant protection. The company has obviously changed quite a bit, being sold and all, new products in different packaging seem to be constantly m churned our, but this formula has remained simple and effective throughout the years. I can use this on my face and body and always know what to expect. It can definitely be a little drying at first, but you can totally buffer it and build up a tolerance to it. Just don’t overdo it at first! I find that when I have over applied in the past, I see the dryness the next day, so again-ease into it at first. You can always add more applications later, but you can’t really take them away once you’ve done them. After awhile, I was able to use this twice a day. I suggest initially starting out one to three times a week, then taking it from there. See how your skin reacts, and adjust accordingly. Don’t be afraid to take a super gentle toner, shake a few drops onto your cotton rounds, then put the 2% BHA on the pad as well. Now that I’m using Retin-A, I only use this once a week on my face, but I still use it on my body and always keep some in my house. There are always deals on this, and you get a lot of product for the price. You can put it in the palm of your hand and apply with your fingers, you can use a cotton round. I’d you want to use cottons, but don’t like feeling you’re wasting product, I suggest getting good quality rounds (I use Delon) and gently separating the layers for application. Thinner pad=less product soaked up. You don’t need a big, thick cotton pad to apply this. Separating rounds really reduces waste with this brilliant liquid BHA. This works really well for young skin (I’ve given it to a lot of family members, it’s great for teens so long as they are coached on potential irritation and offered non-comedogenic moisturizer as well) and is great for my aging, acne prone skin. Love it!

This stuff is the best!
I've seen a noticeable difference in my skin since I started using this. I apply most evenings, I pour a little into my palm an apply as opposed to using a cotton swab. Just about finished with my bottle, it has lasted almost 8 months. Well worth the price.

PC BHA Exfoliant
This is a really great liquid exfoliant. I like to think of it as an adult stridex or noxema, but better! It does help to clear out clogged pores and prevents them from getting clogged throughout the day. It can be harsh if you have sensitive skin, however I have not experienced any discomfort or irritation. I have used this product for several years and it does provide a nice glow and clear skin. I do not breakout anymore or have any hormonal breakouts while using this. I prefer to use this at night but have used this in the morning prior to putting on my makeup. *If you use Vitamin c in the am or Retinol in the pm, I would suggest waiting 30 mins after using this exfoliant to apply either treatment. Don't forget your sunscreen!

Unsure
I’ve heard liquid exfoliants are “better” for skin since physical ones can be harsh so wanted to try this! Haven’t noticed a difference with my skin yet so I’m unsure how effective it is. But will keep using and find out if I will repurchase or not!

Gentle
Gentle exfoliator, noticeable results. I apply after cleansing, then let fully absorb and wait 15-20 min before applying a hydrating serum. I noticed results after using only a few times. I use in the evening 2-3 times a week.

Actually Does Minimize Pores & Exfoliates
When applying, tip bottle slowly as the liquid is thin and dispenses quickly. It is easier to apply it on a cotton ball than your fingers, however is well worth any dispensing challenges because pores are minimized and skin is exfoliated to reveal softer and glowing skin. This product keeps stubborn white and black heads on the nose from appearing. I highly recommend Paula's Choice BHA Liquid Exfoliant. The price is very reasonable for the 4 fl. oz. bottle.
