    This is the only product I've ever found to RID the bumps on the back of my arms EVER! I apply only this and use no other lotion. The bumps only come back when I use sunscreen. I'm still on a hunt...

    This really improved my kp on cheeks, although some redness is still there(I don't think theres anything on the planet that will cure that), it definitely helped the bumps/roughness. It's the...

    As my review for her 2% bha gel reads...I will be devastated if she ever decides to discontinue this. I use both and they have worked wonders on my breakout prone skin. I do not have oily skin,...

    I purchased this to combat the blackhead problem I have had, mostly on my nose, for years and years. I would definitely describe the problem as resistant. Anything I used before would dry my skin,...

    Initially, I tried Paula's 2% BHA liquid, and found it too drying for my skin, but I loved the clarity it was giving me. I switched to the lotion, and I love the texture it leaves once it soaks in,...

    I like this product, but I think the oil in it will be too much for my skin in the summer. It hasn't really broke me out, but I prefer an oil free formula, too bad. This review was originally...

    This is really awesome for keeping pores unclogged. I used to use the 2% lotion, but realized that it actually caused clogged pores. I switched to the liquid, and will never go back. I use it in...

    Edit 5/6/08: This stuff has moved up to HG status for me. Yes, I have to moisturize well with it and still need BP as well, but there is nothing that does as much for the overall quality of my skin...

    As long as I combine Paula's 2% liquid BHA w/my Persagel, I get incredible results. Breakouts that are just beginning to surface are stopped in their tracks and gone in the next 2 days or so. But...
