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

I’ve struggled for YEARS with acne-prone, oily skin, trying product after product with little to no success — until I found this gem! 🌟 From the first few uses, I noticed my skin felt smoother and less congested, and within a couple of weeks, my breakouts were visibly fewer and my pores looked cleaner and smaller. This exfoliant has truly been a miracle for my skin — it unclogs pores, controls oil, and helps keep future acne at bay. My complexion now looks clearer, calmer, and more balanced than it has in such a long time. I also love that it’s lightweight and absorbs beautifully without feeling sticky or harsh. Highly recommend to anyone with oily, acne-prone skin! 💛✨

My daughter has struggled with acne for quite some time, and after consulting with her dermatologist we were advised to use it a few nights a week after cleansing. This product has worked really well, it gently exfoliate without irritation and helps keeps her breakouts under control , we have noticed smoother skin and fewer clogged pores since she started using it . Easy to apply, absorbs quickly and does not fell harsh at all.

I rarely write reviews because I don’t come across a lot of products that I am blown away. But if you can tell by my comparison photo, I’ve made PRETTY DRASTIC improvements with my skin within a month! So I had to share my thoughts and experiences! I used the product every night before bed with a cotton ball for about a month now. To give you some background, I played college tennis 10 years ago. I was out in the sun all the time for practice. I have hyperpigmentation, large pores, oily face, fungal acne/bumps, and acne scars. Ive had it all. I also hated putting on sunscreen back then because I hate the oily texture of sunscreen with sweat mixed together so I was taking in UVA/UVB at full strength with beaming rays in warm SoCal sun for many many years. Fast forward 10 years, I’ve been pretty religious with skincare since graduating college because I realized that I’ve done huge damage to my skin. I made progress during those 10 years with consistency, but there were still some room for improvements as you can see in the photo. With age, I started seeing some wrinkles under my eyes and and on my forehead as well. I started getting all serious about skincare again a month ago by revisiting my usual selections to see what I can introduce into my routine. I found this product on YouTube, some blog post, and then Amazon. Decided to take a stab with the huge amount of reviews. BEST DECISION EVER! I saw changes within a few days of use! Skin started getting smoother and then pores looked somewhat smaller. After some improvements the first week, I did not see drastic improvements again till week 3. Started seeing changes in hyperpigmentation and smoothness of my skin. Also my wrinkles have somewhat faded under my eyes and forehead. Please note, I did try using it twice a day, but my skin started getting very flaky and sensitive. I think I broke out a little bit too so I had to go back to just once per day. I’d like to add, purging period is part of the process. Don't panic. Just be patient and you will see results. As they say, no pain no gain. I never thought I’d be here in a month with all of the pre-existing skin issues I had, but I can confidently say I am confident in my own skin at 33! This is probably the best skin I’ve ever had! I can finally feel confident makeup free. When I do put on makeup, I don’t have to put on multiple layers of makeup or strategically use concealer to cover up the uneven texture or blemishes. Also my skin looks like it radiates through my makeup now. I saw someone say in the comments here how it’s like having instagram filter IRL. I totally agree. I don’t need no instagram filter! It’s called real life glowy skin! To add to the usage of this product, I also did make a switch in my routine by adding Cetaphil Purifying Clay Mask. I used the clay mask every other day. So it could be a combination of reasons for these results. But I think my comparison photo speaks for itself - Please give it one month of consistent use. Be consistent and you will see huge results! Hope that helps :)

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

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! 👏

First off, I don’t do reviews unless a product is really bad or really good, because I expect that a product should do what it is advertised to do. I’m also HIGHLY skeptical when it comes to beauty products. I was told in my 20’s that once you get large pores, you can’t shrink them. So, I made the best I could with the pores on my nose that had already started to get more noticeable. I used all sorts of things, pore strips, clay masks and charcoal masks. My regimen still includes steaming, then putting a clay mask on my t zone over night once a week or so. I’m 49, and I was still under the belief that I would have to deal with enlarged pores, along with the fine lines I’ve started to develop, all as a normal part of aging. But this year, when face primer and makeup was no longer hiding my pores, I had enough! I would like to say quickly, my pores are clean, they aren’t blackheads, they are just large, and numerous. So, looking on Amazon I came across this product. I read the reviews and it seemed as though this worked for others, and wasn’t ridiculously priced, so I bought it a month ago, and started using it as directed. Twice a day, morning and night, after I wash my face, I apply it to my entire face, neck, and chest. Once upon a time I was also told, whatever you do for your face, do for your entire neck and chest, this is called your décolletage, and you will thank yourself when you are older, because if you don’t apply your beauty routine to the whole area, you will have a crepey neck and wrinkly cleavage, which will stand out because it won’t match your face. In the immortal words of Dolly Parton in Steel Magnolias: “Honey, time marches on and eventually you realize it's marchin' across your face!” So there is no getting away from aging, but we can at least keep moisturized and looking our best. I have sensitive skin, and can’t just use anything on my face, other reviewers said the same, and they had no issues with this product irritating their sensitive skin. Absolutely did NOT irritate my skin! I wash my face, apply it, then apply my lotion. No burning of any sort. It was so gentle, I was half thinking it might not even have anything in it to even do what it says it can do! A month later, I can tell you, my pores haven’t completely disappeared, but are smaller, and have become shallower as well. You can still see them, but I am looking with a super high magnifying mirror. I hope that it will continue to make them smaller, but even if I have hit the maximum that it can do for me, I will keep buying it and using it to make sure to keep them the same level I’ve achieved so far. With a primer and makeup, I’m very happy that my nose pores no longer stand out! 5 stars, highly recommend, and I’m putting this on my list of subscriptions so I never run out! If you got to the bottom of this, you have the patience to buy this and give it a chance. Tell ‘em Large Marge sent ya! ;)

I decided to try this on a whim after reading all the positive reviews and I am so glad that I did. This product is definitely worth 5 stars to me. I was hesitant about chemical exfoliation but I wanted something that would be less abrasive than physical exfoliation. This product delivered that. It has evened out my skin tone, improved the size of my pores and did not irritate my acne in the process. Another plus that I was not expecting is that where my T-Zone would be oily halfway through my workday it has become much less so after using this product. I know the chemical names and percents can be a little off-putting so I will explain BHAs in a more basic way: BHA is an acronym for Beta Hydroxy acid. It works by penetrating the pore and essentially "degunking." This purging process can be a little grueling as the gunk in your face gets pushed out before you see improvements in your skin. The purging process lasted around 2 weeks for me before I noticed a considerable improvement. It could take more time for you,or less. My skincare routine for my combination skin goes as follows: A.M. Wash hands with anti-bacterial soap Cleanse: Splash face with lukewarm water, pat dry with a clean towel Exfoliation: BHA, wait 10-20 minutes for it to dry Moisturize: Clinique dramatically different moisturizing gel (Miracle moisturizer for my combination skin. Can't get enough of this stuff!) Sun screen: Neutrogena Ultra sheer sun screen (Can't stress how important sun screen is for you. Please, please use it) P.M. After shower so I don't wash my hands Cleanse: CereVe Hydrating facial cleanser, pat dry with clean towel Exfoliation: Apply BHA lightly with a clean cotton ball. Wait 10-20 minutes to dry Moisturize: Clinique dramatically different moisturizing gel Spot treatment: Body Shop tea tree oil spot treatment for any acne Important things to remember: 1. When introducing any new product ALWAYS do a patch test and only introduce 1 new product into your routine at a time so that way if you do have a reaction you will know what is causing it. Here is a good way to patch test a new product: Where to test: To see if you're allergic---- Behind your ear To check for irritation---The area where you're most sensitive. For me this is around my mouth To check for clogs or acne----The area in which you experience this the most. For me this was around my hair line and cheeks If you are allergic to a product you would know pretty instantaneously. Irritation and clogged pores can sometime take up to a month. You know your skin best so always do your patch test and follow your instincts. You can always stop use if need be. 2. Everyone has different skin and don't be discouraged if this product does not work for you. If BHA does not work for you try AHA. It is great for dry skin. 3. I experienced some dryness in the beginning and fixed that by cutting back on the amount of product used. Same results minus dryness. 4. The purging can be frustrating because it is almost as if your skin gets worse before it gets better. If you do your patch test, start using this product and after a few days notice NEW break outs in area you never had them before I would discontinue use immediately. That is not part of the purging process and it is clogging your pores which will invariably lead to more breakouts. 5. One practice that improved my acne ten fold is washing my hands with an antibacterial soap before touching my face and using a clean towel to dry my face each time. I also sleep in a clean shirt each night and wash my sheets once a week. The "towels" I use are Kleenex brand single use hand towels. They are not super soft but I just pat my skin dry with them versus rubbing. If you don't like the idea of wasting so many hand towels invest in washable face towels so you have a clean one each time. Overall, I have recommended this product to close friends and my sister which is why I am comfortable giving it 5 stars. Once this bottle is empty I will most definitely be ordering it again.

This was my first purchase of this product, after some research, and I am pleasantly surprised bcuz I don't think most products do anything LOL. My skin feels amazing and I used to have this texture around the sides of my nose, maybe like pores? But it was visible no matter what I used to clean my face, and now, GONE! Completely smooth! No visible pores. So happy!
