how to use
Using your finger tips or a cotton pad, smooth a small amount onto clean skin, avoiding direct contact with the eyes, eyelids, and lower lash line. Do not rinse. Follow with sunscreen during the day. At night, you can follow with your favourite serum or moisturiser.
Depending on your skin's sensitivity, you may need to build up use of this product gradually. If it's your first time using a Beta-Hydroxy Acid like Salicylic Acid, you could start using this product once every other day (ideally at nighttime) for a few weeks before increasing to once or even twice a day - whatever best suits your skin.
Always use a daily SPF when using products containing AHAs/BHAs like Glycolic Acid and Salicylic Acid.

Skin type:
Normal to Oily and Combination Skin.

Important:
Do not use products containing Salicylic Acid if you are allergic to aspirin.

Key Ingredients
Salicylic Acid (2% BHA): This is the star ingredient of the product. Salicylic Acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that's oil-soluble, allowing it to penetrate deep into the pores to exfoliate the inner walls. It's effective in unclogging pores, addressing blackheads, whiteheads, and blemishes. Additionally, salicylic acid possesses anti-inflammatory properties, which can help soothe the skin and reduce redness.

Green Tea Extract: A powerful antioxidant, green tea extract helps protect the skin from environmental damage, especially from free radicals. It can also soothe the skin, reduce redness, and offer some anti-ageing benefits.

INGREDIENTS
Aqua, Methylpropanediol (slip agent/water-binding agent), Butylene Glycol (water-binding agent/humectant/slip agent), Salicylic Acid (Beta Hydroxy Acid, exfoliant), Polysorbate 20 (emulsifier), Camellia Oleifera (Green Tea) Leaf Extract (anti-irritant), Sodium Hydroxide (pH adjuster), Tetrasodium EDTA (stabilizing agent).

Faq's
Q: What is Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant?
A: Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant is a leave-on exfoliant that uses 2% salicylic acid (BHA) to unclog and minimize enlarged pores, exfoliate dead skin cells, and reduce redness. It's designed to improve skin texture and tone.

Q: How do I apply the BHA liquid exfoliant?
A: After cleansing and toning, apply a small amount of this face exfoliant to a cotton pad and gently apply to the face, avoiding the eye area. There's no need to rinse; you can follow with other skincare products once it's absorbed.

Q: How often should I use Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant?
A: Initially, you may wish to use it once a day or every other day, especially if you're new to exfoliants. Over time, depending on your skin's needs and how it responds, you can increase usage up to twice daily.

Q: Is Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant suitable for all skin types?
A: While many people can benefit from this exfoliant, it's especially suitable for those with combination to oily skin or those with concerns about enlarged pores and blemishes. Those with very sensitive skin should patch-test first.

Q: Can I use this face exfoliant in the morning?
A: Yes, you can use it either in the morning or evening. However, since exfoliation can make your skin more sun-sensitive, it's essential to wear sunscreen daily when using this product.

Q: Does this salicylic acid exfoliant help with acne?
A: Yes, salicylic acid (BHA) is known to penetrate oily skin and exfoliate inside the pore, which can help reduce the occurrence of acne and blackheads.

Q: Can I use this Paula's Choice exfoliant with other exfoliants or treatments?
A: Be cautious when combining exfoliants to avoid over-exfoliation, which can irritate the skin. If using multiple treatments, always patch-test and introduce products gradually.

Q: Why might I experience a tingling sensation when using Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant?
A: A mild tingling or warming sensation is not uncommon when using exfoliants, especially when first introduced to them. However, if the sensation turns to burning or if significant irritation occurs, discontinue use.

Q: Is Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant cruelty-free?
A: Yes, Paula's Choice is a cruelty-free brand and does not test its products on animals.

Q: How does BHA differ from AHA in skincare products?
A: Both BHA (salicylic acid) and AHA (like glycolic or lactic acid) exfoliate the skin. However, BHA is oil-soluble, meaning it can penetrate oily skin and exfoliate inside the pore, making it great for acne-prone skin. AHAs are water-soluble and work on the skin's surface, ideal for sun-damaged or dry skin.

Can’t live without it!

As a lazy, non-grooming type of person it’s very rare I leave a product review ad I don’t normally notice a difference…but I can’t ever be without this. It does my oily spotty skin so much good, it makes it smooth and soft and cleans it so thoroughly (even when I think I’ve already washed my face), it really does clear the pores.

Love this toner - would buy again! I've been using it twice a day, morning and night after cleansing, before spf moisturizer. My skin feels less textured, smoother and my blackheads are appearing smaller.

Smoothes out and gives a mattifying effect. No irritation (I had a lot of sensitivity recently due to moving to a new very hot climate). Looks like a great product for regular use.

Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant

This product truly works. . .

This is my first time buying on Cloud 10 but my second time using this product and I will be a return customer because the delivery was unbelievably fast.

This product shrunk my large pores, my face has gotten clearer, pimples are few and far between, no black heads and I have been confidently going out without make-up. I have had no issues with this product, I advise you try it if you are still contemplating.
