Great exfoliant
I’ve been using this Paula’s Choice 2% BHA exfoliant for a while now and I’m really impressed with the results. It feels gentle on my skin but works effectively to keep my pores clear and my skin smooth. I noticed a visible improvement in my skin texture within a short time of using it. It doesn’t sting or dry out my skin, and it absorbs well without feeling greasy. My skin looks clearer, more even, and has a healthy glow. I also appreciate that a little goes a long way. Overall, this has become a staple in my skincare routine and I would definitely repurchase and recommend it to anyone looking to improve their skin’s clarity

Noticeably Smoother and Brighter Skin
I tried using it every evening, and with daily use it really helps. My skin feels cleaner, smoother, and more radiant. It absorbs well and makes a visible difference over time. Definitely a great product if used consistently.

Subtle but steady results, and it lasts longer than expected
It’s on the pricier side for a small bottle, but a little goes a long way. I’ve been using it for just under five weeks, and there’s still about half left. You only need a few drops per area, so it doesn’t run out quickly. I like the effect of the liquid exfoliant. It’s simpler and less abrasive than the usual scrubs with those tiny grit particles. It spreads evenly, absorbs fast, and doesn’t leave my skin feeling damaged afterwards. In terms of results I’ve noticed some gradual improvements: slightly clearer skin and fewer small breakouts. It’s not a huge overnight change, but it does seem to keep the skin balanced and smooth. If you’re consistent and patient, it’s a solid addition to your skincare routine / replacement for a mechanical exfoliant.

Works Exactly as Expected — Gentle Yet Effective Exfoliation
This 2% exfoliating liquid does exactly what I hoped it would. After using it, my skin has a subtle, healthy glow, leaving a perfect canvas for serums, moisturizers, and other skincare products. It has a very mild acidic scent, which comes from its active ingredient — it’s not perfumed, and I actually appreciate that. I’d much rather smell a little acidity than have extra fragrance added to my skincare. It delivers what you want from a chemical exfoliant, but a word of caution: if your skin is very sensitive, be careful. Overuse can irritate or damage the outer layer of your skin. I always use it as the first step after cleansing at night, then follow with serums, moisturizers, or any other treatments in my routine. Do not use in the morning, as your skin will be more sensitive to UV rays during the day. At night, though, it’s perfect — gentle, effective, and fragrance-free. Highly recommend for anyone looking to safely incorporate a mild chemical exfoliant into their nightly skincare routine.

Great product
Love this product, helps tighten my pores as I have very large pores , does dry out the skin but a bit of moisturiser does the job.

Honest review
This product is amazing for my menopausal skin outbreaks. However, when I came to order for the 2nd time, I paid the same price and received a tiny bottle.

Perfect skin
5months later AWESOME wish I found it 30yrs ago job interviews, going on holiday and meetings knocking my confidence as always had horrific spots but complexion now transformed no spots and it was rather annoying when I ate well and cleanse plus my husband actually noticed the difference! Thank you

I didn’t try it yet this rating is for the size of the bottle compared to the price i paid! I usually get this 30 ml as gifts from beauty shops, I didn’t notice the ml when i decided to buy it and didn’t even think that it would be a sample size with this price

Excellent produit exfoliant à base de BHA à 2 %, particulièrement efficace pour désobstruer les pores et améliorer le grain de peau. Après quelques semaines d’utilisation régulière, la peau est visiblement plus lisse, les points noirs sont réduits et le teint paraît plus uniforme. La texture liquide est légère, pénètre rapidement et ne laisse pas de film gras. Le produit est bien formulé, sans parfum agressif, ce qui le rend adapté même aux peaux sensibles, à condition de l’introduire progressivement dans la routine. Un soin incontournable pour les peaux mixtes à grasses ou sujettes aux imperfections, avec des résultats visibles et durables lorsqu’il est utilisé correctement.
