    All throughout my teen years, I used BHA and benzoyl peroxide for my acne. I was young and didn't know any better about the other ingredient choices out there. And all through out my teen years......

    I don't like the way my skin looks after applying this. My face looks shiny and the gel doesn't sink in well. It works, but I would only use it at night time. I prefer 2% BHA (salicylic acid)...

    I am sensitive to many chemicals and ingredients, so I buy and give/throw away more products than I'd like. It often takes several uses before I know how I will react, so I just keep searching. I...

    I don't like this nearly as much as the skin perfecting 2% bha liquid. I bought bc it was on sale and I figured there wouldn't be much difference between the two. I've been using the skin...

    This is pretty similar in texture to the Clear Regular Strength liquid, but has additional antioxidant ingredients. I hate the texture of her other BHA products, so I suppose this and the Clear...

    The best exfoliant around. Non sticky, non slimy, fast absorbing and it works! I have tried them all, so I know what I am talking about ;-)

    Of all PC's BHAs, this is my favourite. It's non-irritating (I have v.sensitive skin), keeps pores clear and acne away, and isn't too drying. You also get a lot of product for your $.

    Toner-like exfoliant that feels like water and has an anti-aging boost. I adore this formula and alternate it with the 4% BHA foam. Perfect tag team.

    I've tried a few of the BHA products from Paula's Choice now, and this is definitely my favourite to use. It's a great watery texture that dries very quickly, unlike the sticky feeling the 2% Gel...

    Works great for me- Paula's Choice has two versions of the 2% BHA chemical exfoliant, and I really don't' understand the difference, but they both work equally well for me. I use this as a toner...
