    I have to admit I'm a bit disappointed over this one. I thought it would clear up my hormonal/stress induces clogged pores, but I dont think it has done anything. Maybe I should have tried the 2%...

    I read such great reviews and could not wait to purchase. I have combo/sensitive skin so I thought the 1% BHA lotion would be the best choice. I used sparingly and avoided my cheek area. At...

    This was a dud for me, the lotion formula caused breakouts - Recently I've had great success Paula's newer Beta-Hydroxy 1% and 2% gel formulas.

    I've used the 2% BHA before and I thought it was a little strong for me. So I tried the 1% lotion at night and I am very impressed! My skin feels so smooth with less large pores and bumps. I paid...

    I'm reviewing the 1% BHA lotion, which I've been using for about 10 days now. I think the BHA has definitely improved the look and feel of my skin. My only complaint about this is that I find the...

    Seems to minimize my pores and smooths my skin. During periods of irritation, I just back it off to once/every other day. Absorbs nicely, gives a matte finish.
