    I honestly thought I had already reviewed this product. I have used 3 bottles already and I already repurchased a back up after finishing my last bottle. This is a gentle yet effective exfoliant. I...

    I've been through two bottles of this. The first time I purchased this I also got the Clear 2% Regular Strength BHA as I couldn't decide between the two. I alternated between them but found myself...

    After doing some research and discovering that BHA's can clean out large pores and make them appear finer I decided to try Paula's Choice Resist 2% BHA. When I received it I stopped using my night...

    I think I’ve gone through 2 or 3 bottles of this. It’s a great leave on chemical exfoliant. My skin tolerates it very well. It makes my sister’s skin peel a lot but she is new to leave on...

    I was an earlyish adopter of Paula's Choice exfoliants, but then, for reasons that are unclear even to me, I fell off the wagon and stayed off for nearly a decade. Well, now I'm back on, and it...

    I got a travel size version of this. Compared to the famous liquid BHA - this one is gentler and more elegant. The liquid is a little rough. If you have more sensitive skin, I would recommend this...

    This honestly saved my skin. I use the Extra Strength which I believe is slightly different. For years I've struggled with acne and almost every product I've tried has broken out--it's so bad I...

    Since I tend to have dry skin I use this product 2-3 times a week. It really keeps my pores clean. When the pores are clean they appear smaller. I put it on areas of my face with enlarged pores....
