This is my number one exfoliant, a very gentle one and it really makes your skin smooth and keeps your pores clean.

This worked well in beginning but after a few applications it made my skin oversenstive and caused some imflamed spots. It took over a month to recover from them. All PC items have the same effect...

I love this 1% BHA lotion. The texture is much nicer than the gel, which was sticky and sometimes made my skin feel dry. The lotion absorbs well and leaves my skin matte, and it smooths my skin...

This review pertains to the 1% BHA LOTION: Hmm, not sure what to make of this one. I absolutely adore her 2% BHA lotion ( clears up my neck/forehead spots with record speed) but this one...

At first, I loved this product. Seemed like a light moisturizer but with everyday use, it made my skin too dry.
