GENTLE NON-ABRASIVE LEAVE-ON EXFOLIATOR: with 2% BHA (Beta hydroxy acid) to unclog & diminish enlarged pores, exfoliate dead skin cells, smooth wrinkles & brighten & even out skin tone. Combats redness, wrinkles, aging, enlarged pores, & blackheads. Paula's Choice SKIN PERFECTING 2% BHA Gel Exfoliant can help minimize blackheads, acne, discolorations, and age spots and with consistent use can increase skin's firmness. Gel formula makes application a cinch. Use after cleanser and toner twice daily. HYDRATE, BRIGHTEN & SMOOTH FINE LINES: Our unique, non-abrasive, leave-on exfoliant is gentle enough for daily use on all skin types. Exfoliates dead skin cells while clearing pores for a more even tone, plus it visibly reduces fine lines & wrinkles. Paula's Choice facial exfoliants are gentler on delicate skin of the face & neck than an abrasive face scrub, which can cause micro-tears. A BHA leave-on exfoliator delivers hydration & can exfoliate directly inside the pore & improve how the pore works. Paula's Choice Skincare makes products that work. No fragrance, no parabens, no fluff. Just effective, science-backed formulas that target any concern from wrinkles to breakouts.

Stick to the liquid version!

I bought the gel version thinking it would be comfortable because the pump would allow me to use less product. The liquid formula is so great because it cleans my skin really well and I don't get enough sleep using it. On the other hand, I throw up when I use the gel. The same stubborn rashes on my chin and between my eyebrows that the liquid will clear up in about 3 days. I don't think the gel is causing my pimples, but I don't think the formula is as effective with the liquid. As for the…

Gel is the best of polishes and scrubs

I LOVE the liquid version of this product but using it on a daily basis can be a little painful when I have to remember to fill up on cotton pads. It's great because it's a gel, which means I can pump it up with my fingers and apply it without a cotton pad! What it does for my skin - it seems to plump and hydrate everything a bit, hide my baby lines and give me a more even tone and texture. I LOVE this product, easily takes 5 years off.

The price is steep, but it's worth it.

The price bites, but it's worth it. After experimenting and eventually choosing the right day/night treatment for my hormonal acne, this was one of the most effective products I've used (and hell if I haven't tried pretty much everything but Accutane). The most notable difference BHA has made is removing all of my closed comedones (now I only notice a CC or two if I wear heavy makeup and don't wash it off before bed). I have no experience with other BHAs, I chose Paul's Choice because of its…

Not as good as the liquid version!

2% BHA Liquid is an indispensable tool in my daily skin care routine. My automatic subscription to this product was delayed so I decided to try the gel version and am very disappointed! I used a pump to apply and it's so thick and gooey and feels so terribly heavy that I really don't like it. Also, while the liquid version helps keep my skin clear and glowing while feeling hydrated and smooth/soft, this gel version actually broke me after just a few days of use. I checked the ingredients and…

Not for me - polishes and scrubs

I love Paula's Choice - the transparency and integrity with which they work is unlike any other skin care company. And they have an incredible commitment to customer service to keep things running. Unfortunately none of the BHA face products worked for me and I tried two different ones. Oddly enough, the CLEAR body spray has worked wonders for my body acne, but each of the PC products with salicylic acid for the FACE has resulted in horrible cystic acne that leaves scars. Both times I waited…

Pros
  • Nicely
Cons
  • No form required
