Paula's Choice SKIN PERFECTING 2% BHA Lotion Salicylic Acid Exfoliant, 3.3 Ounce Bottle Facial Exfoliator for Blackheads, Enlarged Pores, Wrinkles & Fine Lines

This exfoliant has a permanent place in my routine! I've been using PC's products for a while now, after experimenting with everything else, and my skin looks so great. The BHA lotion is perfect for me because my skin tends to be dry, especially in the cooler months, but it's still moderately acne-prone. I use two pumps of this morning and night, and it helps to keep the breakouts at bay, but also hydrates my skin so I can use a lighter sunscreen and moisturizer (all the heavier moisturizers break me out). If you're struggling with dry, acne-prone skin, I highly recommend trying PC's products for dry skin at the beginning of the routine (cleanser, toner, exfoliant) followed by products for oily skin at the end of the routine (serum, sunscreen, moisturizer) so you get the hydrating ingredients but not too much of the heavier emollient ingredients that can break you out. This lotion exfoliant fits in perfectly for that purpose. I find a bottle of this lasts me 2-3 months, so I think it's also cost-effective, especially compared to the liquid exfoliants which get wasted on cotton pads.

This worked miracles! I use it every morning and it quickly cleared up some acne I was having. I make sure I always have some on hand now so I don’t run out. It may take a few weeks to really notice the difference, but once it starts working it even prevents breakouts. I still get a few hormonally from time to time, but there is a drastic difference now.

I had used the liquid before and Loved it! but thought i'd try the lotion/gel one this time and it is still so nice! I like it even more than the liquid and helps keep my face clear!

I used to buy a 1.7oz bottle of Neutrogena Rapid Clear Acne Defense Face Lotion with Salicylic Acid for less than $10. It worked great but for some reason they stopped selling it. I can't find it anywhere. It's really tough to find a good 2% salicylic acid lotion these days without paying a high price. No clue why? I trust this brand but in general all her products are a bit pricey. I wish Neutrogena would bring back their product!

I use this product every other day at night under a moisturizer. My skin in the morning seems to glow.

My adult daughter uses and recommended this product to me. Within two weeks of 1-2 daily applications, rough patches began to disappear, lines started plumping, and my skin took on a healthier, rosy glow. If your skin is combination-dry, you will need a light, non-oily moisturizer, as well

I have sensitive dry combination skin. It is hard for me to find a product that doesn’t have side effects on my skin ( my face). This little bottle here does as promised. No side effects instead brighten my skin tone, balanced my skin color ( no longer dull and tired) and shrink zits! Thank you, Paula’s Choice for coming up with such amazing formula! This product is definitely underrated. I highly recommended!

I love the product overall. I’ve also noticed it’s more gentle than the liquid option and doesn’t require cotton pads. However, the scent is horrible putting it on. It fades away later on though.
