Paula's Choice Calm 1% BHA Sensitive Skin Exfoliant unclogs pores, calms redness and eases inflammation thanks to Salicylic Acid and a host of calming and repairing ingredients.

Why you need it

Paula's Choice Calm 1% BHA Sensitive Skin Exfoliant is a lightweight lotion with 1% Salicylic Acid, a Beta-Hydroxy Acid with anti-inflammatory properties. The lower concentration of Salicylic Acid makes this product an ideal BHA starter product for those with sensitive skin. Salicylic Acid lifts dead skin cells from the skin's surface and penetrates into the pore lining to help remove blockages.
It also calms the redness associated with Rosacea or sensitive skin reactions. A variety of soothing botanical extracts including Oat Bran Extract and Willow Herb Extract help to calm skin, while Glycerin and the essential fatty acid Lauric Acid have skin-repairing properties.

All skin types, but especially Rosacea-prone or Sensitive Skin.

Best exfoliant for sensitive skin

I trust Paula's Choice products for my sensitive skin and been using them for some years. I bought the Paula's Choice Calm 1% BHA Sensitive Skin in travel size. I have previously used the older version of this product in 2017 - it was known as "Calm Redness Relief 1% BHA Lotion". I have combination-oily skin with blackheads/whiteheads in the T-zone areas. I use the exfoliant after cleansing. After some days of use I have seen a reduction in blackheads and clearer skin. This exfoliant has not caused and redness/breakouts. The travel size is perfect to buy if you are just starting out with exfoliants.

Not so sure

I wanted to try a gentle chemical exfoliation but I’m not sure about this. The consistency is light cream but hard to see any results. Still I’ll finish the sample but I might try other products from PC
