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.

ingredients

Water⁠, Methylpropanediol⁠, Butylene Glycol⁠, Salicylic Acid⁠, Polysorbate 20⁠, Camellia Oleifera⁠, Sodium Hydroxide⁠, Tetrasodium EDTA⁠

    I really wanted to like this product, but whenever i use it once a day for any number of consecutive days my skin becomes dry and flaky (and i normally have combo/oily skin). Price isn't that great...

    I've been using Paula's BHA's for three years now. I started with the 1% solution then, after about a year moved onto the 2%. It's such a miracle worker. When I use this in conjunction with my...

    It works well enough, but the bottle leaks all over the place. Make sure to store it upright. The liquid is kind of hard to control without using cotton balls (which I feel wastes product). It has...

    I really love this stuff! It helps to keep clogged pores and blemishes away, it doesn't irritate my skin, and it's extremely affordable. The liquid has a slippery feel to it when first applied, but...

    Didn't care for this too much! I get clogged pores and this didn't really unclog them, it just made them look swollen if that makes sense! Like the bad stuff came to the surface, but it never went...

    I had tried the 1% BHA and that didn't work and thought to try this stronger 2% one. Another waste of cash. Pass on this foggy water disguised as skincare. I can't believe I fell for this stuff...

    I like this product a lot (2% BHA Solution). It made my pores look smaller. One thing I didn't like about it is that it took up to ten minutes to dry on my skin, but then that could be me putting...

    YUCK YUCK YUCK It feels gross when you put it on and even after you leave it on forever it never sinks in. I think it actually made my nose look worse. It's not that it was cleaning them out, it...
