    This is one of my HG products... of all her BHA's, I like the texture of this the best - most like water, non-greasy, and easy to apply, because it's a toner. Controls my blackheads well. And NOT...

    This toner did clear up my skintone to perfection. I have a very light skintone, which seems to act as a big fat arrow pointing to any skinproblems. All redness has gone out the door, together with...

    This has become my all-time favorite BHA toner. I've tried Paula's BHA liquid and found it to be sticky and leave a bit of a residue. That's not the case with this fine product. My sensitive skin...

    I was a big fan of PC's other liquid BHA, but this one blows it out of the water. It literally leaves no residue whatsoever...great for those of us with oilier skintypes. My only gripe is the...
