Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant Customer Reviews

I had never tried a liquid exfoliant before but what the heck, it was in the box and I'm so happy I gave it a chance. I just bought the full size because it's become part of my routine. I had enlarged pores on/around my nose, oily t-zone, tendency to have occasional acne, and uneven skin tone. Sometimes I would have dry, flaky areas too. Using this exfoliant has improved every single one of those problems without causing any sensitivity. It's had an almost "airbrushing" effect on my 39 year old skin. My skin is softer, clearer, less oily, more even-toned and my pores appear much smaller than before. Thank you Birchbox for introducing me to it!

I have somewhat sensitive skin that dries out very quickly, so I was a little wary of this product. After trying it I was very pleased, though! It was gentle on my skin but still helped clean up blackheads. I've also dabbed some on a cotton ball and held it to blemishes to help get rid of them faster. It seems to help.
It doesn't leave my face dry or red like many salicylic acid products do, but it does give me all the benefits I miss from them.

I love this product and credit it to finally resolving my acne. I still was having some breakouts here and there. I received this in my sample box and my husband noticed how glowing and smooth my skin was. His response? "Buy a bottle of that stuff immediately." I'm in 30's and have used accutane twice. I use this product all over my neck and face. Its clean, smooth & silky. Just a little bit goes a long way.

I was able to eliminate close to three acne products with this one item. My face cleansing routine is so much shorter and my skin is really improving (have on and off acne issues and have combination skin). I will most certainly be purchasing this item when this runs out - and a little goes a long way. Just a few drops rubbed between your fingers and patted into my skin.

Seems like my black heads are easily removed and my skin is less prone to break outs. Amazing product.

I was skeptical, but used this on my freshly-washed face and woke up to a more evenly toned complexion and no trace of a pimple. Doesnt leave a residue. Maybe its my imagination, but I think it actually worked well!

Unfortunately the product was a little rough on my sensitive skin. Give it a try.

I have very oily skin and large pores with acne prone skin. it is imperative for me to keep my pores clean to avoid breakouts which means a lot of exfoliating. I was excited to try this as salicylic acid during the day is usually successful for me but I really am not seeing results after extended use.

I have combo to oily skin with adult acne and I was looking for a retinol alternative while I was pregnant, and omg I can’t believe it took me 30 some years to find something like this. It keeps my dry skin moisturized and my oily skin drier. It works great to exfoliate after a few days use so it really helped with my acne. I could use it with or without a moisturizer, that’s how well it hydrates, without over doing it. After my pregnancy I stuck with this and ditched my retinol.

I’ve used this 2% BHA liquid for years, probably since PC first came out with it. I have sensitive skin, but this doesn’t irritate my skin at all. My skin feels smoother and looks clearer when I use it regularly. Highly recommend.

I am so fickle with my skincare and change products a lot (probably too frequently!) when I don't see results. I used this twice and noticed a huge change in my skin! I have hormonal/cystic breakouts along my jawline, made worse by not washing my hair every day. After two weeks of using only at nights, I have the skin I've always wanted - seriously. It is even in tone and texture, and GLOWING. I have dry, hypersensitive skin and this product does dry me out a bit, but nothing that a hyaluronic acid serum and some rosehip oil can't cure. I will never be without this again!
