  • Great product from a great brand
Style: Travel Size - 1 Fl Oz
I have had good experiences with Paula’s Choice products in the past and this has maintained the same level of quality and results. This is changing my aging skin for the better. Clearer, softer skin with barely visible pores. Doesn’t take much and is so easy to use! You just rub it in and then you're done. I use it 3-4 nights a week, then follow it up with my favorite moisturizer. Highly recommend! ... show more

  • A Game-Changer for Skin Over 50 — Gentle, Effective, and Actually Works!
Style: Full Size - 4 Fl Oz
The media could not be loaded. I’m 50, and like a lot of us, I’ve started noticing my skin looking a little dull, uneven, and not as smooth as it used to be. My serums and moisturizers just weren’t absorbing the same anymore — until I tried Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant. This product is different from traditional scrubs. It uses salicylic acid (BHA) — a gentle chemical exfoliant that goes deep into pores to clear out oil, buildup, and dead skin cells. Unlike harsh scrubs that can tear or irritate mature skin, this one melts away dullness and leaves your skin feeling soft and renewed. It also contains green tea extract, a natural antioxidant that calms and soothes while protecting against environmental damage — something our skin needs more of as we age. Together, the salicylic acid and green tea help improve texture, fade discoloration, and even reduce the look of fine lines by encouraging healthy skin turnover. After using it for just a couple of weeks, my skin looks smoother, brighter, and more even. I can actually feel my serums and moisturizers working better because this exfoliant clears the way for them to absorb. For mature skin, less is more — so I use it in the evening, twice per week, right after cleansing and before my serum or moisturizer. That’s all it takes to wake my skin up and keep it glowing without irritation. If you’re over 50 and want to gently bring your skin back to life — this is the product you’ve been looking for. It’s not about chasing youth; it’s about helping your skin feel alive again. ... show more

  • Works
Style: Travel Size - 1 Fl Oz
This product is amazing! It helped clear my skin, smooth out texture, and reduce the appearance of my pores within just a few uses. It feels lightweight, doesn’t irritate my skin, and absorbs quickly. I love how much brighter and cleaner my face looks now. Definitely one of the best skincare products I’ve ever tried. ... show more

This stuff actually does what it claims. After a few days my skin looked clearer and smoother, and it helped cut down the small bumps. It’s gentle, but you still feel it working. The only downside is the price for the size, but the results make it worth keeping in the routine

  • works great!
Style: Full Size - 4 Fl Oz
This product works wonders on my skin! I am so happy I decided to bite the bullet (especially for the price) and try it. I was struggling with 1-2 cheek acne that would become super red and inflamed. I could NOT get rid of it, and it felt like it kept coming back whenever I got it calmed down. I also have super mild acne around my chin that comes around my time of the month. I was previously using the salicylic acid from the ordinary 3x/week and as spot treatment as needed, which I think was just completely drying out my skin, and causing the cheek acne (I also think stress plays a part in this too). I came across PC salicylic acid and wanted to give it a try because of the cleaner ingredients. I was a little worried though because my skin is sensitive and on the dryer side, especially during winter months. It definitely took a while for me to figure out how many times a week I should be using this, but once I figured it out, my skin loved it! My sweet spot is using this 2x/week (and as an additional spot treatment on the “off nights” if I really need it) at night after I shower, making sure my face is dry before I apply it with my fingers. Yes, the drops go a long way, so be mindful of how much you are shaking out. The texture when applying it feels like a slippery water texture, and there is a super faint smell, which I don’t mind. I have been using this product for over 5 months and my cheek acne has gone away, largely because I think I am not drying my face out like I used to, and I have been learning to manage stress. I have also noticed that from switching to PC, my scars fade faster, my face feels overall brighter, and it honestly keeps my acne away for the most part. Being honest, yes, I did break out for like 2 weeks while adjusting to this product. After that, it’s been pretty smooth sailing! Don’t be afraid to try it and make it work for you and your skin type! ... show more

  • Effective
Style: Full Size - 4 Fl Oz
One of the most effective products I have used for clearer, smoother skin. The salicylic acid gently unclogs pores and helps reduce blackheads without being harsh or drying. I noticed a more even skin texture within days and a healthy glow that kept improving over time. It layers well under moisturizers and works for both spot-treating and full face use. A great choice for anyone dealing with congestion or dullness who wants results without irritation. ... show more

  • Meh
Style: Travel Size - 1 Fl Oz
It definitely exfoliates but doesn’t do much in terms of “perfecting” my skin. I mainly got this because I saw many people talking about how great of a product this is and how it’s helped their skin texture. I definitely have some texture myself and I had hopes this would help with it but it really just does the bare minimum and gets off all the dirt and oil on my skin. Still a great thing! I’d stick to The Ordinary exfoliating toner. Does the same thing but better in my opinion and it budget friendly even for the bigger sized bottle! I got the mini one for this just to see if I’d like it. Perhaps I need to be a little more consistent then I’ll see results but I used this around 3 times a week. I’ll experiment more but as of right now, it’s doesn’t do much for my skin. ... show more
