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.

    So far this product is doing good for me. My skin responds better to BHA than AHA. This product has not been drying at all. I have combo skin with an oily Tzone that is prone to breakouts and...

    I like this alot. Really wish to God I'd tried this before trying accutane. It feels a little greasy when first applied but it sinks right in and does a great job of loosening and removing black...

    I use the 2% BHA Solution and it is the best BHA product I have found. I love it because it doesn't have a ton of extra ingredients in it and does what it says it does. I recommend getting the...

    I didn't like this product in my skincare regimen. I have oily skin that tends to get dry from certain acne products. Then I am stuck with oily and dry, stiff skin. This product made my skin dry...

    I wasn't too thrilled with PC 2% BHA Solution. It isn't a bad product but just not as good as Serious Skin Care 2% Salicylic Acid Gel. I found PC to be runny and messy and my skin was very, very...
