- Paula's Choice SKIN PERFECTING 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant with Salicylic Acid, Facial Polish for Enlarged Pores, Wrinkles & Fine Lines, Suitable for Blackhead-Prone Skin, Fragrance-Free

This product works wonders on my skin! I am so happy I decided to bite the bullet (especially for the price) and try it. I was struggling with 1-2 cheek acne that would become super red and inflamed. I could NOT get rid of it, and it felt like it kept coming back whenever I got it calmed down. I also have super mild acne around my chin that comes around my time of the month. I was previously using the salicylic acid from the ordinary 3x/week and as spot treatment as needed, which I think was just completely drying out my skin, and causing the cheek acne (I also think stress plays a part in this too). I came across PC salicylic acid and wanted to give it a try because of the cleaner ingredients. I was a little worried though because my skin is sensitive and on the dryer side, especially during winter months. It definitely took a while for me to figure out how many times a week I should be using this, but once I figured it out, my skin loved it! My sweet spot is using this 2x/week (and as an additional spot treatment on the “off nights” if I really need it) at night after I shower, making sure my face is dry before I apply it with my fingers. Yes, the drops go a long way, so be mindful of how much you are shaking out. The texture when applying it feels like a slippery water texture, and there is a super faint smell, which I don’t mind. I have been using this product for over 5 months and my cheek acne has gone away, largely because I think I am not drying my face out like I used to, and I have been learning to manage stress. I have also noticed that from switching to PC, my scars fade faster, my face feels overall brighter, and it honestly keeps my acne away for the most part. Being honest, yes, I did break out for like 2 weeks while adjusting to this product. After that, it’s been pretty smooth sailing! Don’t be afraid to try it and make it work for you and your skin type!

I’ve been using Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant for several weeks now, and I finally understand the hype. This product actually delivers visible results without being harsh. My skin type: Combination, acne-prone, sensitive Main concerns: Clogged pores, texture, occasional breakout. What I love: Noticeably smoother skin within the first 1–2 weeks Helps unclog pores and reduces blackheads, especially on my nose and chin Very gentle for a chemical exfoliant — no burning or irritation when used correctly Lightweight, water-like texture that absorbs quickly and layers well under moisturizer If you struggle with clogged pores, texture, or stubborn breakouts, this exfoliant is 100% worth it. It’s one of those products that quietly improves your skin over time, and I’ll definitely be repurchasing. Highly recommend! 👏

Obsessed! Cleans out pores and any dead skin, great for leaving on over night. Love that it’s not sticky either! Definitely purchasing again!

This stuff actually does what it claims. After a few days my skin looked clearer and smoother, and it helped cut down the small bumps. It’s gentle, but you still feel it working. The only downside is the price for the size, but the results make it worth keeping in the routine

The only product I've found so far that gives me smaller pores and clearer skin. I'm a 36-year-old female with adult cystic acne and enlarged pores, especially on my T-zone. This stuff has given my skin a drastic change, but I should mention that I've also paired it with the Paula's Choice pore cleanser, which is probably adding to the effect. I only wish I'd had this product I was a teen! Anyway, my biggest tip for the Exfoliant is to NOT use a cotton ball, cotton pad, or anything. Just wash your hands ahead of time, and use your fingertips to apply it. You will find it lasts SO much longer than when you use a cotton ball, because it absorbs too much into the cotton ball and wastes it. Using my fingertips instead has made all the difference in making the most of how much this product costs. Worth it!

Llevo años usando este producto porque me ayuda a controlar mis espinillas ocasionales. Mantiene los poros limpios y se notan menos. No podría estar sin él

Love this , it really works, skin became much prettier! Will buy again 👍

Amazing product! The progress with this takes a few months ...but please be patient! At 33 years old I never thought I’d be free from breakouts and scarring from cystic hormonal type acne. Started using once a day on a cotton pad at night. Skin will sting a tad & be slightly flaky to start after a few days. Skin may “purge” spots as pores are unclogged but this will calm down - trust me! Once skin becomes flaky I then reduced to use all over my face every 3 days, but everyday along my jawline and neck. I follow with a light oil free moisturiser. Honestly, I have used around 2 bottles in 8 months and I get minimal spots now, and they heal very quickly. Any inflammation comes up and I pop a dab of this on! Skin also feels so smooth too. This is a real review!!! It could change your life!!

Really great product and worth investing in. On my second bottle, be sure to only use once or maybe twice a week as I had previously overused it and my skin reacted. But when used once a week I’ve been seeing a real difference in my skin texture and pours !
