I am now using this every day and really love the difference it makes for my skin. I have more oily, olive Italian skin, and this works wonders for me. Even my husband noticed the softer texture of my skin!
I am 74 and my skin was looking rough and scaly along the T zone.. I realise that I have sebaceous filaments . I can’t look 21 again. But it has improved with the use of this product.
I just started using the product today but I really like it. It feels very nice, smooth and luxurious on the skin. Can’t wait to see the effects. I have acne and recently started a new facial routine.
I’m two weeks in and seeing a significant difference.
Pro’s – clear and less visible pores, smoother skin, less facial hair ???, and I don’t feel clogged at all.
Not so keen on – drying effect I’m feeling that my moisturiser isn’t sinking in well. But this is expected due to what the product is for.
his is the best thing i have ever used on my skin. I have always suffered with very dry skin and oily skin and i have tried allsorts of over the counter creams and also prescription creams and nothing worked but since i started using this my skin has never looked better.
I thought I’d give this a go from a recommendation never expecting it to make such a difference. After reaching the menopause I found my skin to be inconsistent – sometimes dry, sometimes dehydrated and sometimes blotchy. However the greatest issue I had was the lower neck, upper chest area which developed deep wrinkles, often hot and somehow lumpy.
I bought the small bottle and wasn’t surprised by the small size having read the other reviews. However, 4 small drops daily for 2 weeks, followed by 4 small drops daily for both my husband and I (he seems to end up using most of my products!) lasted a further 8 weeks which equates to approximately 4 months supply using it once a day.
I does have a slight smell, which I love and is not overpowering or offensive. It is absorbed quickly and you can use sun cream or moisturiser straight afterwards.
The difference was noticeable within 7-10 days and after about 3 weeks I realised I will never be without it again. I’ve since bought the biggest size and sometimes use it twice a day. Excellent for uneven skin tone and fine lines plus the clearing up more problematic areas. It does recommend using it sparingly at first so I do recommend buying the small bottle to see if it is suitable. Whilst I’ve gone on to the large bottle, I’ve bought the small one for my overnight/holiday bag, it’s that good.
Your skin will be glowing and flawless after a few uses. My skin has never looked better and people are shocked when I say I’m 10 years older than they think. Worth every penny and it also last for a long time as you only need a few drops a day. Don’t walk, run to get it.
I loved this. I tend to get bad break outs on my chest particularly during the summer months when it’s hotter. This helped TREMENDOUSLY, overnight the break outs were visibly gone. But I had to use it sparingly as it’s quite expensive. I’ve since switched to a cheaper salicylic acid but use this when break outs get really bad.
I first purchased a bottle of this around 8 months ago, but I am doing a review now because I believe ive tried it long enough to make a valid review
I first started using it once every other day in the evening, but now I use it once a day – adding a few drops onto a cotton wool pad.
It has changed my skin, evened out my complexion, and I now have less aggressive breakouts.
I still break out – but it’s not as bad as it used to be! IMO this is a miracle in a bottle and everyone should try it.
I’ve held off reviewing this until I had had chance to use consistently for a couple of weeks.
I have fairly sensitive skin and had absolutely no issue with reactions from this, it was a good strength. It definitely has kept breakouts at bay and cleared my skin beautifully, I wish it was a little stronger as I think visible results will take time and patience but I’m balancing that with my skin sensitivity.
On the whole it’s a great product that I’ll definitely repurchase, and its way more reasonably priced that some of the available alternatives!
I hadn’t realised it was a tiny bottle and wanted to send it back and realised I couldn’t so I thought I may as well use it. So glad I did. A little of this elixir goes a long way and I’ve been so pleased with how it has improved my skin. My nose and forehead in particular were in need of help and I kept noticing more blackheads (mainly thanks to the menopause) but this has really improved them to the point my partner remarked at how ‘clean’ my skin looked! I use it prior to going to bed and use a couple of times a week now as part of my skin care routine. Nice thing about smaller bottle is I can also take it on my holiday in my hand luggage.
Can’t say I’ve noticed a difference in my problem areas, but it has made my forehead shinier and smooth overall. It also makes make up apply better and lasts longer. Would repurchase for that reason alone.
Dealing with oily skin has always been a challenge for me, leading to frequent spots and redness. After reading rave reviews for Paula’s Choice SKIN PERFECTING 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant, I decided to give it a try. I’m thrilled with the results!
The liquid exfoliant is easy to use and absorbs quickly without leaving any greasy residue. Within a week, my skin was noticeably less oily, and the redness began to fade. My skin felt smoother and softer, a significant improvement from the constant greasiness and irritation.
After a few weeks of use, my problem spots were almost gone, and the redness was significantly reduced. My beard line, previously itchy and oily, was now calm and clear. The product also worked well on the spots on the back of my neck caused by shaving.
Although it’s a bit expensive, the bottle lasts a long time since you only need a tiny amount. The packaging is sleek and compact, making it easy to store and perfect for travel. Paula’s Choice SKIN PERFECTING 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant has truly delivered on its promises, making it a fantastic investment for anyone with oily skin.
ive only used it twice as ur only supposed to use it 2-3 times a week but after i use it, my skin is SO soft.
i put a LITTLE bit on, like 3 drops (thats all u need) , rub it in, neck and face and then my moisturiser over it!! = skin glowing!!
HIGHLY recommend
This was purchased for my daughter, who really likes this product. I didn’t take much notice of the quantity and was surprised how small the bottle was for the price. I would consider it expensive, but if it works, great.
I totally thought it was bigger but it’s like small, really bloody small half the size of a can and as thin as a chocolate bar other than that it works well on your skin so if u don’t mind it being small I totally recommend this exfoliato
It is a good product. A bit pricey for the size of the bottle. I haven’t noticed a huge difference in my skin after using it. Perhaps this product is made more for use on the face but I will continue to use it anyway and see if there are any results.
It worked well as I applied to the pores on the nose before going to bed. A shower in the morning did the rest.
However, I had to ration my use as it started to irritate the skin around the nose which I put down to the fact that I wasn’t too careful about exceeding area to be ckeansed
I bought the travel size to try as I didn’t want to commit to the full size bottle just yet! Been using this product for a few weeks now and I have noticed a different in the pores on my nose already. I am still only using it every few days and haven’t built up to every day just yet. Only thing I don’t love is the smell. Smells sort of like chemicals/ nail polish remover? The smell does go away after it dries into the skin but a bit off putting to begin with.
I have re purchased this item so many times, it just clears my skin so fast and leaves it bright and healthy looking. Highly recommend for anyone struggling with dull or spot-scarred ski
My skin was starting to look old and after about a week of using this I honestly felt like my skin looked 10 years younger. It’s also great for zapping spots.
I purchased this product to help clear up hyperpigmentation and even out my skin tone and after just one week of using it, the product is doing exactly what I want! My skin is looking a lot better. I use it every night make sure to moisture and wear sunscreen during the day. Thank me later! Buy this asap.
To start with I have naturally oily skin and really big pores, adding this onto my skin care routine has done wonders, it makes my skin look so dewy and fresh and it’s helped greatly to reduce the size of my pores!
I have been using this product for 2 weeks. It was recommended to me by a friend who is a beautician. The difference in the overall tone of my face and it has reduced the pores. Would definitely recommend
Often times you buy beauty products and you find it’s perhaps not a right fit and you’ve spent loads of money on something you don’t even up using – this is ideal for those who aren’t sure but keen to test it out. It would be good for travel too, perfect for up to a few weeks away for those who like to travel light.
In terms of the product. I’ve only started using it and seeing an immense impact on pore size and blocked pores.
I look forward to seeing the impact after a few more weeks.
If you’re on the fence, I say go for this to test out before you commit to the full bottle.
I’ve always had lovely skin but with life’s stresses and organising a wedding, I started to notice I was getting hard, painful spots around my cheek and jaw which caused more stress as I wanted my skin at its best. I’ve used Paula’s choice face wash and decided to try this because of the salicylic acid and how it works on acne prone skin. Having used it for about a week, there is definitely a difference in my skin. The spots have reduced and seem to be drying out without leaving horrible blemishes. I would buy this again and continue to use it in the run up to my wedding day.
Works great to get rid of my scars next time I need to get the biggest one
I have struggled with acne-prone and uneven skin for years, but BHA liquid exfoliant has been a game-changer for me.
A little goes a long way with this product, and I mainly use it on my nose to combat blackheads and congestion. The exfoliant is very gentle yet effective, leaving my skin feeling smooth and refreshed. It has also helped to minimize the appearance of my pores and reduce the frequency of breakouts.
What I appreciate most about this product is its natural and gentle approach. I have very sensitive skin, but this exfoliant does not irritate or dry out my skin like other products I have tried.
Overall, I would highly recommend Paula’s Choice BHA to anyone in need of a gentle and effective solution for acne-prone and uneven skin. It has truly transformed my skin and I can’t imagine going back to my old skincare routine without it.
I had big open pours under my eyes which made it look like I had bags and after 2 weeks of consistent usage made them shrink and my face is back to normal I’m definitely buying again.
After shaving I would highly recommend to use
Helps a lot with irritation
It does what it says
One of the best products I have ever used for flawless skin !!!Simply amazing
This stuff has worked miracles on my skin. I used to suffer with sebhorric dermatitis and would have dry, inflamed,cracked flakey skin inside the crease of my nose. Since using Paula’s choice I have had zero issues with dry skin and my overall completion appears a lot more even.
This exfoliant is the best in the game, I have been using this on and off over the years which is one of the mistakes i have made as consistency is key. this should be incorporated into your daily routine forever!i use this product twice daily on my face and neck. To ensure the product works well i always cleanse and tone to clean the skin so that paula choice bha can really penetrate deep into the skin. Doing this twice daily has my skin looking clearer, smoother and brighter, the scars and pimples have reduced and my open pores have shrunk. Since using the product I have had a strangers, family and friends say how my skin is glowing and radiant and wearing makeup now looks flawless! I am honestly so pleased with the product, I have advising everyone I meet to buy this product!!
Honestly the best! I’ve been using this everyday sometimes twice a day or every other day depending on how my skin is (spotty or not). Can honestly say this has cleared my skin and made me look younger! Make sure you use serum and cream after!
Had so many spots, I suffer with adult acne on my chin and jaw, and within a week it cleared it all up, still not given it 5 as it massively dried my skin out but I guess that is the price you pay and I am very happy to be rid of the acne
I got this because of the amazing reviews on it but didn’t want to buy the full product in case I don’t like it, it’s very expensive for such a small amount. I have dry semi mature skin and can be prone to redness and can be sensitive with some actives and was worried this may make the redness worse but it didn’t, it feels actually really hydrating but to be honest I used it as instructed until it was empty and I didn’t see any difference in my skin compared to when I use my other cheaper chemical exfoliants like the CosRX ones or The Ordinary ones, it’s nice and my skin looked good but not worth the price to me when I can get the exact same out of my other ones from Amazo
The bottle is really small but other than that i feel like its made a difference. I have a lot of blemishes with small limps almost beneath them that would flare up with hormones, i feel like its helped clear them as well as reduce pigmentation due to inflammation.
Im sure this product doesn’t need any more amazing reviews but i would love to share my thoughts. IF you have clogged pores, closed comedones, issues with skin texture, blackheads, pimples…. THIS REALLY IS FOR YOU. I mean, this product does it all… BUT PLEASE… do not get carried away. Now, because its so gentle, it so easy to over- exfoilate the skin and damage the skin barrier (happened to me). Start by using Once a week and then you can up it to 2-3X a week, depending on your skin. I wouldnt use it more than that otherwise you risk greater skin issues. If used correctly, you will see such a FAST result in your skin. This probably sounds like an AD or something but no, i’m just being honest. Once i stopped using this product for a while, my skin started having some issues again. Overall love this cute travel sized one more than the large version.
It’s effective, non drying and does what it says. I saw improvement in my skin within a week. I contemplated for so long before purchasing it and honestly I don’t regret buying it. This seller sells the original product. Because I have purchased it before so comparing both I can tell you it is original.
Quick tip: although it is safe for daily use I recommend keeping it to every other day or three days a week depending on your skin needs and your skincare routine. Over exfoliating can occur if you have a lot of exfoliating products in your skincare routine. Sharing from experience
Pro tip: pair this with a niacinamide serum after ( just make sure your serum is okay with being mixed with other products I use the brand inkey list ) and don’t FORGET SPF of you use it during the day. BEST TO USE AT NIGHT.
The value and a great product according to.my girl friend
been using this product for around 3 weeks now 2-3x a week so far so good i’ve had no bad reactions so that’s good
It’s too soon to tell, but my first impressions of this product are positive. I’ve applied it on alternate days and my pores seem reduced. It is strong, though; be cautious.
This product has started to work really well after a week or so. My forehead feels SO smooth, but I am still purging with spots around my chin and between my eyebrows. It’s frustrating but the difference with other parts of my face is crazy. I do think the product is overpriced for the size of it but you don’t need to use a lot to cover a large area. Would recommend giving it a try if you’re prone to bumpy skin!
