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.

Highly recommend
This is the best chemical exfoliant I have ever used. I’m on my third bottle! It drastically improves your skin texture making your make up applicability really smooth. It helped to get rid of the little textured bumps above my chin.

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.
