Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant Description
- GENTLE NON-ABRASIVE LEAVE-ON EXFOLIANT: With 2% BHA (Beta hydroxy acid), to unclog & diminish enlarged pores, exfoliate dead skin cells, smooth wrinkles, and brighten and even out skin tone. Combats redness, wrinkles, aging, enlarged pores, and blackheads.
- Dramatically improves skin’s texture for radiant youthful even-toned skin. Beta hydroxy acid (BHA, also known as salicylic acid) mimics the natural exfoliation process of younger skin by helping it shed extra layers while unclogging and clearing pores.
- HYDRATE, BRIGHTEN & SMOOTH FINE LINES: Our unique, non-abrasive, leave-on exfoliant is gentle enough for daily use on all skin types. Exfoliates dead skin cells while clearing pores for a more even tone, plus it visibly reduces fine lines & wrinkles.
- Paula’s Choice facial exfoliants are gentler on delicate skin of the face & neck than an abrasive face scrub, which can cause micro-tears. A BHA leave-on exfoliator delivers hydration & can exfoliate directly inside the pore & improve how the pore works.
- Paula’s Choice Skincare makes products that work. No fragrance, no parabens, no fluff. Just effective, science-backed formulas that target any concern from wrinkles to breakouts.

My skin type:
– Very Dry, easily dehydrated
– Oily nose
– Prone to stubborn acne and closed comedones
– Redness on chin and cheeks (not rosacea)
I already use a nightly Tretinoin cream (.04% concentration) to help with my acne and premature signs of aging but decided with my derm that incorporating a BHA would be a good idea to help with my seriously stubborn closed comedones and some irritating textural issues. It was between this and the Cerave SA lotion and I ultimately decided on this due to the higher concentration of salicylic acid.
It’s moisturizing, and feels sticky for the first 5-10 minutes after application but seems to sinks in to something of a satin finish on me and I can no longer feel it on my skin. You just have to be a little patient. My skin feels well hydrated and plump after it settles and looks really smooth and my pores aren’t as obvious. It sits just fine under makeup for me but I’m not a new user to chemical exfoliants so I don’t have lots of dead skin pilling up or sloughing off when I use it, my skin is, for the most part, already very smooth outside the acne and CCs. Occasionally I’ll apply it further down my neck/decolletage than usual and WOW do I old skin just ball up and peel right away – it’s so gross but also satisfying. So those that don’t exfoliate often or are new to BHA/AHAs will likely have issues with foundation until their skin adjusts (but it will adjust). My advice in those cases is to either use this at night for the first few weeks or just accept going barefaced for a little while if you can.
I’d strongly suggest not applying this product over anything that you feel does not dry down fully, the times I’ve attempted to use it after serums or heavier products it takes forever to sink in and sometimes never fully does. I save all my serums and essences for after this has absorbed and it’s far easier to work with it as a result. My steps go like this most days: ACWell Licorice toner — PC 2% BHA — 10% Niacinamide serum — TO Matryxil serum — Secret Key Black Snail cream or Syn-ake cream w/ 3 drops Stratia Fortify oil — Sunscreen.
It works fairly quickly IMO, on my neck where I typically don’t apply my Tret at night I noticed the peeling and balling of dead skin on day one and on my face where I have a patch of really awful CCs I noticed them getting smaller and smoother by around day 3-4. I’m going on about 8 days now and they’re barely visible unless I’m right up in the mirror and feel as if they’re almost gone when I touch my fingers to that area. I do have some slight peeling of the skin around my mouth and nose but it’s not terrible (likely because I already exfoliate the heck out of my skin with the tret).
Some tips and things keep in mind:
1)
DO NOT RINSE IT OFF. I don’t understand some of the top reviews advising people to do that, it says on the bottle not to rinse and nearly all chemical exfoliators are meant to be left on until the next cleansing specifically so they can do their job. If you rinse it off you’re either going to prevent it from properly exfoliating or end up irritating the hell out of your skin. If you have oily skin and feel this might be heavy on you than you can probably just use this on bare skin and then sunscreen if you use in the AM or a lightweight lotion/cream and be done with it, but you need to leave it on your skin.
2)
You have got to use sunscreen while you’re using this product! Any BHA or AHA exfoliant causes increased sun sensitivity and you have to address that in your routine. You should already use sunscreen daily but it becomes a must when you incorporate a chemical exfoliator or you risk sun damage.
3)
Less is more! Don’t slop this on your face or soak a cotton pad in it, a little goes a long way and you’ll be kicking yourself if you apply way too much and have to wait 20+ minutes for it to sink in. Use a shake or two and add more if needed but go easy.
4)
Expect some irritation initially. Chemical exfoliants can be harsh and rough even on sturdy skin and you have to give yourself time to adjust. Over-exfoliation is a possibility but sometimes just introducing a BHA or AHA into your routine can cause some sensitivity. Don’t panic and just be gentle to your skin. Use ceramides (like Cerave Skin Renewing cream) or fatty oils to soothe your face if needed and try to stay away from any harsh products or acids like Vitamin C right after applying this to avoid really burning your face.

I have struggled for a long time with very oily skin. I have tried Proactiv and many other popular named brands, nothing ever helped and honestly made my skin situation worse by just drying out my face entirely and leaving me flaky, then making me more oily the next day.
I saw many people on forums and articles suggest salicylic acid, from specifically the brand Paula’s Choice. I eventually caved in and decided to try. This product surprised me, I saw a noticeable difference in how my skin appeared, no longer did my oily pores look like blackheads and it didn’t dry out my face either. My skin felt silky smooth and looked overall better. If anyone deals with the same symptoms of their skin acting like mine, I definitely recommend trying this brand or anything with salicylic acid, it is a game-changer.

Iโve been using Paulaโs 2% BHA for years now. Itโs an essential part of my skincare routine that keeps my skin clear and my poor small. I apply it every night after the shower and I can notice the difference whenever I donโt use it. This item is a skincare must for me and I order it every couple months to make sure I donโt run out! I recommend this product to everyone that asked about my skin care, itโs an essential!

Been using this exfoliate once a day for about a month now. I started with every-other-day use for my first week, then stuck with one application daily, post-cleansing (& occasionally switch between applying in the morning and applying at night).
First off, I have sensitive skin so the fact that this didnโt break my face out even once in ~35 days of use already had me liking it.
Secondly, while Iโve noticed very little change overall, this stuff does make my face look and feel AMAZING for at least the first couple hours after application. After my first use I was honestly kinda stunned at how it melted my pores and small wrinkles away almost immediately after patting it into my skin โ however, this effect does NOT last. I find that a few hours after application my face is pretty much right back to her porous, fine-lined little self. That being said; I have noticed less blackheads in regions where I used to have a ton (chin & nose), and less large pores present on my cheeks. Again, itโs nothing incredibly noticeable as you can see in the progress pic, but for someone who sees this face every day I can tell this product is slowly but surely doing what I want it to. I recommend it ๐

I planned on waiting a couple of weeks before giving this product a review, however recent events persuaded me to write one sooner.
After tons of research and paying almost $50 for it, I figured I’d give this product an honest try.
Opening the bottle I thought, “how much could a thin watery liquid really improve the sebaceous filaments and blackheads on my nose?” I was wary about whether Paula’s choice stuff would actually work considering I’ve tried so many different products to deal with my strawberry nose.
But I tried it out and gave it an honest go.
After about the 3rd day I noticed my pores were considerably empty. They were still the same size, but no longer filled with oily blackened gunk.
I was pleasantly surprised, yet suspicious.
After so many trials with other products that ended in disappointment I was cautious about whether this was actually working or not, or if the results would last. Even still, I noticed a drastic improvement in my pore’s appearance.
Then a coworker commented on my skin. She said it was looking “amazing” and particularly my nose was looking incredible. She inquired about what I was using.
I’m a 30 year old man and this was an unsolicited observation about the pores on my nose. I’ve tried so many different things to deal with the large gunk pores on my nose (derma rolling, retinoid creams, glycolic acid peels, facial cleansers, exfoliants, etc…) however this 2% salicylic acid exfoliant has worked the best thus far.
After doing some research I found out that BHA acid (salicylic aid) is a small enough molecule to penetrate deep into the pores and chip away at the dense hardened oil buildup thats inside the pores which gives them their distended appearance. Its been over a week now, and my pores are looking as empty as they’ve ever looked and are also shrinking.
I exfoliate with an abrasive sponge in the shower and hope that continuous use of this product, along with regular exfoliation, will result in small looker pores.
Even though its been only over a week I notice drastic improvements in my pore’s appearance.

I’m not big on writing reviews however this product deserves it. My pores have shrunk in a few days, and I can’t be happier! I have semi-oily skin, which causes my pores, especially those on my forehead and nose, to clog. I’m no skin expert, but after trying pore strips and generic face washes, I assumed it was part of my au naturel look. Thankfully, Paula’s Choice Exfoliant proved me wrong! My pores are nearly invisible, and my skin is much brighter. I look forward to being makeup-free without the worry of having large, clogged pores ๐

I’ve used it for a few days (twice a day) and I can see the pores on my face starting to shrink. I haven’t seen a difference in fading dark spots but maybe long term use may show it.
