Review on Paulas Choice SKIN PERFECTING Exfoliant Facial Blackheads by Amy Moore

Revainrating 5 out of 5

interacts terribly with the sun

This material can be described as a miracle in a bottle. When I apply it to my (rather dry) skin it goes from polluted, irritated and bright red to calm, clear and glowing skin overnight. Most people who write about it use it incorrectly. This is an acid peel. This means that you should use it once a week, twice at most (if your skin is oily and requires a lot of work). It should not be absorbed into your skin. You should keep feeling that greasy feeling until you wash it off. Also, it should never be used during the day. BHA, or salicylic acid, interacts terribly with the sun. If you absolutely have to put it on in the morning, put on a strong sunscreen, but I wouldn't do that. This tool is like anything else - it only works if you know how to do it right.

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • Makes me nervous
