    This is THE best acne product I have ever used! The 2% BHA is also great for more stubborn blackheads. I have very sensitive, breakout-prone skin and Paula's products are some of the few I have...

    NOTE: this review is for the 1% lotion. This is Paula's original BHA and it is the one I still prefer. It cleared up my oily/combo skin almost completely, except for a few stubborn blackheads on...

    Few products live up to their claims, but this one does what it says. It keeps away blackheads and minimizes breakouts for me. Once I went without it for six weeks and broke out horribly. After...

    This product works well on my very oily skin. I love the way it makes my face look and feel (oh so soft and smooth).

    This didn't really do anything for my skin. The lotion seemed to feel greasy on my face too. Want to try the 2% liquid solution instead.

    Doesn't seem to be too effective, but still dries me out. And the texture of this makes my skin tone appear dull and balls up sometimes under makeup.
