Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant 118ml
Product Description
What we say
The powerhouse ingredient behind this gentle, exfoliating liquid is BHA, a clinically-proven blemish buster that works to unclog pores down to their oiliest depths. As well as this, Witch Hazel and Green Tea Extract help soothe skin with reparative anti-oxidants so the complexion is left bright and clear.
A leave-on liquid exfoliant containing 2% BHA (salicylic acid) that dissolves built-up dead skin cells on the skin's surface and inside the pore, unclogging pores and improving skin cell turnover rate. The result is a dramatic improvement in the skin's appearance, feel and function which leads to healthier skin, clearer and younger-looking skin.Paula's Choice is a PETA certified cruelty-free brand; they do not test any of their products on animals.
Directions
Lightly soak a cotton pad and gently apply over the entire face and neck, including the eye area (avoid lash line and eyelids). Do not rinse.
At first, apply every other day and note skin’s response. Then use up to twice daily. For daytime, follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen rated SPF 30 or greater.
Start slowly: Apply every other day and note skin's response. Then use up to twice daily.

Game changer for those who have acne-prone skin!
I bought this product a while back and I have been using it once a week every week so far and I absolutely love it. I personally use it at night followed by a moisturiser to prevent my skin from drying out. This product contains salicylic acid which helps to target blemishes so if you struggle with acne I highly recommend this product for you (always make sure to follow with a moisturiser for hydration and never forget to wear SPF in the mornings when using this product).

Smooth skin in a bottle
I've tried a very liquid exfoliants with similar ingredients to this one before but they have always left me with red and sore skin and not being able to use them often at all so I was nervous to try this one but it hadn't made my skin irritated one bit but still leaves my skin soo much smoother than anything else i've tried, i've even been able to use it every days and my skin feels great !

Hii can I use this with the ordinary niacinamide and vitamin c serum?
You can use vitamin c with niacinamide and niacinamide with salicylic acid but you cannot use salicylic acid with vitamin c as it lessons it’s effects.

I used this and I started to get small skin colour spots. Is that supposed to happen?
I would guess not, it didn’t happen to me anyway

I am a 61 year old with dry, flaky skin. Would you recommend this product. I have been looking for a good cruelty free exfoliator for some time but worry about the drying effect.
I never had any issues with drying. It works well as an exfoliant but isn’t over drying. I’d introduce it slowly once or twice a week and then increase usage.

Should it be used daily or weekly ?
I think it depends on your skin type. I use it every other evening and see good results.

Are the active ingredients something a dermatologist could or would prescribe?
