description

A unique leave-on formula that’s gentle enough for daily use on all skin types. Exfoliates dead skin cells while clearing pores for a more even, radiant tone, plus visibly reduces fine lines and wrinkles to reveal remarkably smoother, younger-looking skin. This exfoliant has an optimal pH range of 3.2–3.8.

    At the risk of sounding ridiculous, this product has changed my life since I started using it over a year ago. I have always had bad skin--I had to do Accutane in my 20s, and then had obvious sun...

    I have been using this product daily for about 7 months now. I started using it because I am pre-rosacea (redness and a few breakouts in the cheeks only). Evidently there have been studies that BHA...

    I used this product, because I was breaking out in pustules and had lots of clogged pores, and I mean LOTS. I used this in conjunction with the cleanser for dry skin. Both had made me break out...

    I'm a big fan of Paula's products in general, but not this BHA product in particular. I've found that the liquid works much better for me than the lotion or the gel. The lotion tends to make my...
