Review: Great exfoliant - I’ve been using this Paula’s Choice 2% BHA exfoliant for a while now and I’m really impressed with the results. It feels gentle on my skin but works effectively to keep my pores clear and my skin smooth. I noticed a visible improvement in my skin texture within a short time of using it. It doesn’t sting or dry out my skin, and it absorbs well without feeling greasy. My skin looks clearer, more even, and has a healthy glow. I also appreciate that a little goes a long way. Overall, this has become a staple in my skincare routine and I would definitely repurchase and recommend it to anyone looking to improve their skin’s clarity
Review: Noticeably Smoother and Brighter Skin - I tried using it every evening, and with daily use it really helps. My skin feels cleaner, smoother, and more radiant. It absorbs well and makes a visible difference over time. Definitely a great product if used consistently.

## Features

- OUR GLOBAL BESTSELLER : Fast absorbing liquid exfoliant removes built-up dead skin cells and fights blackheads and breakouts. Daily leave-on liquid exfoliant with salicylic acid quickly unclogs pores and controls oil for clear, glowing skin.
- WITH SALICYLIC ACID / BHA : Primarily an exfoliant, helping shed dead skin on the surface and inside the pore, therefore effective for reducing breakouts and blackheads. It also has soothing properties.
- BENEFITS : Skin becomes dull and congested when dead skin cells build up on its surface. Unlike harsh exfoliator scrubs, our gentle BHA mimics the natural exfoliation process of younger skin by helping to shed extra layers while unclogging and clearing out pores.
- HOW TO USE : 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. Start slowly: 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. For nighttime, follow with the rest of your routine.
- SUITABLE FOR COMBINATION TO OILY SKIN : This peeling is suitable for normal, combination to oily skin types. The liquid texture is ideal for these skin types and penetrates fast into pores, blackheads and pimples. This leave-on exfoliant (also sometimes known as a toner) has an optimal pH range of 3.2-3.8 for maximum effectiveness without irritation.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Should I use AHA or BHA?**
A: AHAs are generally preferred if you have normal to dry skin. BHA is the preferred option for normal to oily or combination skin that is prone to bumps & breakouts. BHA works both on the skin surface and within pores to quickly shed clogging build-up.

**Q: Can you use AHA and BHA together?**
A: Yes, you can use AHA and BHA together, but most people do just fine using one or the other. Using AHA and BHA together can provide advanced results if you’re experiencing multiple skin concerns.

**Q: Why does the 2% BHA Liquid feel sticky and kind of greasy on my face?**
A: If our 2% BHA Liquid feels sticky, you may be using too much. Try using a pearl-sized amount applied in a thin layer. The greasy feel can be attributed to the high levels of glycol in the formula.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great exfoliant
*by G***I on 11 January 2026*

I’ve been using this Paula’s Choice 2% BHA exfoliant for a while now and I’m really impressed with the results. It feels gentle on my skin but works effectively to keep my pores clear and my skin smooth. I noticed a visible improvement in my skin texture within a short time of using it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Noticeably Smoother and Brighter Skin
*by S***L on 18 January 2026*

I tried using it every evening, and with daily use it really helps. My skin feels cleaner, smoother, and more radiant. It absorbs well and makes a visible difference over time. Definitely a great product if used consistently.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Subtle but steady results, and it lasts longer than expected
*by L***R on 12 October 2025*

It’s on the pricier side for a small bottle, but a little goes a long way. I’ve been using it for just under five weeks, and there’s still about half left. You only need a few drops per area, so it doesn’t run out quickly. I like the effect of the liquid exfoliant. It’s simpler and less abrasive than the usual scrubs with those tiny grit particles. It spreads evenly, absorbs fast, and doesn’t leave my skin feeling damaged afterwards. In terms of results I’ve noticed some gradual improvements: slightly clearer skin and fewer small breakouts. It’s not a huge overnight change, but it does seem to keep the skin balanced and smooth. If you’re consistent and patient, it’s a solid addition to your skincare routine / replacement for a mechanical exfoliant.
