Review: Worth investing in - 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 !
Review: Great exfoliator - I love this exfoliator! It’s great for when my skin feels congested after a few days of wearing makeup, I use it around 2 times a week and over time it’s really helped my skin feel smoother and have less blemishes. I bought a mini one to take when I travel or stay at my partners, this is really useful!

## Features

- GENTLE NON-ABRASIVE LEAVE-ON EXFOLIANT: with 2% BHA (Beta hydroxy acid), to unclog & diminish enlarged pores, exfoliate dead skin cells, smooth wrinkles, and brighten and even out skin tone. Combats redness, wrinkles, aging, enlarged pores, and blackheads. PACKAGING MAY VARY.
- Dramatically improves skin's texture for radiant youthful even-toned skin. Beta hydroxy acid (BHA also known as salicylic acid) mimics the natural exfoliation process of younger skin by helping it shed extra layers while unclogging and clearing pores.
- 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Skin feeling dry after use, moisturising isn’t helping. Any suggestions?**
A: Reduce how often you’re using it. Once a week at first, building to twice, then 3 times.  Any more than that and your skin may dry out a lot more than intended.  

Use a hydrating toner (that doesn’t contain drying alcohols) afterwards, followed by a hyaluronic acid
Serum, moisturiser (with squalene in it) and then a few drops of oil to seal in the moisture to help your skin recover.

**Q: Can i use a moisturizer with salicylid acid after using this?**
A: Depending on your skin type, it may be too much or it may be fine. Try patch testing first. This liquid is fantastic on its own and I personally use a basic hyaluronic acid moisturiser after it!

**Q: When can you see the results**
A: Straight away. My skin has never felt so clean. I can clean my face then wipe it all over with this and old dirt is on the cotton pad.

**Q: Can this be used on top of eyelids ?**
A: It’s not advisable to use topical acids in the eye area.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great exfoliator
*by D***A on 7 January 2024*

I love this exfoliator! It’s great for when my skin feels congested after a few days of wearing makeup, I use it around 2 times a week and over time it’s really helped my skin feel smoother and have less blemishes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Product and Re-Usable Travel Bottle
*by M***E on 14 September 2024*

Paula’s Choice BHA is great for oily combination skin, particularly if you are suffering from severe breakouts. It will minimise spots and help to quickly heal. This bottle is also great as you can remove and re-attach the lid, so excellent for de-canting from your larger BHA bottle when heading on holiday. FYI - If you have sensitive skin, I would recommend trying the Paula’s Choice Azeliac serum as an alternative as this is slightly weaker than the BHA while delivering similar benefits. Sometimes my skin needs the BHA and other days the Azeliac is much kinder and reduces redness.
