soft and gentle on delicate faces
I’ve been using this for a few weeks, and I can definitely see why so many people recommend it. It feels gentle on my skin, doesn’t leave it greasy or sticky, and my pores look much cleaner. I’ve also noticed my skin feels smoother and looks brighter.A little goes a long way, so the bottle lasts longer than I expected. If you’re looking for a simple exfoliant that actually works without irritating your skin, this one is worth trying. I’m really happy with it and would buy it again!

A Game-Changer for Clogged Pores
I’ve been using Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant consistently, and I’m really impressed with the results. Within a few weeks, I noticed fewer clogged pores, smoother skin texture, and a visible reduction in blackheads around my nose. It absorbs quickly, doesn’t feel sticky, and layers well with the rest of my skincare routine. The formula is gentle enough for regular use, though beginners may want to start a few times a week to avoid irritation. It’s fragrance-free, which is a big plus for sensitive skin. While it’s a bit pricey, a little goes a long way, so the bottle lasts a long time. Overall, it’s one of the few products that delivered noticeable results for clearer, smoother skin. I would definitely recommend it to anyone dealing with clogged pores, blackheads, or uneven skin texture.

Noticeable improvement in pore size-would purchase again.
Purchased smallest bottle . Works better than anticipated. Have had issues with nose and chin pore size and accompanying blackheads for decades. Previous products (tried many) overly dried my skin and did zero to shrink pores. Have used for one week and can see a noticeable difference, particularly on my nose. Smaller pores and smooth skin! Happy with usage results, though deducted one star for bottle top design. Semi-difficult to get product out of the container. Found that using a Q-tip and pressing directly against opening has given the best results. Will likely repurchase.

Wow!!!
Wow!!! I see why this product has 90% five star reviews. The cleanser is so good you can tell the difference after using it a few times. Definitely minimizes pores and cleans your skin without drying it. Definitely worth every penny!! Buying it again and again!!!

It truly works deep!
I do not say this lightly, this exfoliant completely transformed my skin. I have struggled with clogged pores and stubborn blackheads for years. I tried scrubs, masks, pore strips, expensive treatments, and nothing delivered lasting results. Within the first week of using Paula's Choice Face Exfoliant 2% BHA Liquid Salicylic Acid Facial Exfoliator for Blackhead, I saw a visible difference. My pores looked clearer. My skin felt smoother. That rough congested texture along my nose and chin started fading fast. What makes this product magical is the texture. It looks like water, feels like nothing, and absorbs instantly. No greasy film. No sticky residue. No heavy fragrance cloud. Just clean, simple, effective skincare. I apply it with my hands after cleansing and let it sink in. There is a slight tingle at first, which reassured me it was getting to work deep inside my pores. And it truly works deep. Salicylic acid is oil soluble, so it penetrates into the pore lining and dissolves the buildup that causes blackheads and congestion. Instead of aggressively scrubbing the surface, this gently clears from within. After two weeks my blackheads were dramatically reduced. After a month they were barely noticeable. My makeup applies more smoothly now because my skin surface is refined and even. Another unexpected benefit was how balanced my skin became. I used to get random breakouts around my T zone. Since incorporating this exfoliant into my routine, those surprise blemishes are rare. My skin looks calmer, clearer, and brighter overall. A little goes a long way. One bottle lasts months, making it an incredible value for the results it delivers. It layers beautifully with serums and moisturizer and does not pill under sunscreen or foundation. If you are dealing with clogged pores, blackheads, dullness, or uneven texture, this is the product to try. It is powerful yet gentle. Simple yet transformative. I can confidently say this is a forever staple in my skincare routine. Absolute five star holy grail status.

Good product, but check the ingredients
I've only been using it for a short time so I can't fully judge the long-term results yet, but I'm enjoying the texture and the application so far. I apply it directly with my hands instead of cotton pads, it distributes evenly and you waste much less product this way! That said, I noticed Tetrasodium EDTA in the ingredient list, a petroleum-derived chelating agent I personally prefer to avoid. Unfortunately I only spotted it after purchasing. For this reason I won't be repurchasing in its current formula.. but If the brand ever reformulates without petroleum derivatives, I'd happily buy it again, because the product itself is promising

Quietly effective leave-on exfoliant that smooths pores
I bought this to tackle clogged pores and the occasional blackhead and to even out my skin without scrubbing harshly. I wanted a gentle option I could use daily without irritation, especially on the more sensitive areas around the nose and cheeks. In everyday use, I cleanse, pat dry, then apply a few drops and let it sink in. It dries down quickly, leaves no fragrance, and doesn’t feel sticky or harsh. It’s a liquid leave-on with 2% salicylic acid that helps unclog pores while smoothing dead skin, and I can follow with moisturizer and sunscreen without any trouble. What stood out the most is how it clears inside the pore and smooths texture over time. After several weeks I notice my skin looks more even and the fine lines around my eyes and mouth appear a touch softer. It feels hydrating while still doing the exfoliating job, which is nice to experience without extra dryness. A small note: there can be a brief, mild tingling if my skin is dry or I use too much at once, so I started with a smaller amount and every other day for a week. Sunscreen is still important during the day. Overall, it fits my routine well and I would rate it five stars.

sebaceous glands cannot be fully gone but this product has truly helped diminish their appearance
This product has helped my skin so much! I was skeptical at first because I know my sebaceous glands cannot be fully gone but, this product has truly helped diminish their appearance. I use it twice a week to ensure I don’t dry my skin out too much and I also moisturize about 15 minutes after to cut down on any dryness. My main concern area was my cheeks and my nose, and as you can see from my before and after photos, it has made my pores much less visible. If you’re looking for a cheap alternative to some of the more expensive spa treatments, I would highly recommend this 2% BHA exfoliate.

Great exfoliator
I love this exfoliator! It’s great for when my skin feels congested after a few days of wearing makeup, I use it around 2 times a week and over time it’s really helped my skin feel smoother and have less blemishes. I bought a mini one to take when I travel or stay at my partners, this is really useful!

A classic I keep coming back to
I’ve been using this for years and it never disappoints — this 2% BHA exfoliant is a staple in my routine: clear, smooth skin and consistent results. The real challenge now is finding it at a fair price, especially in Portugal, where it’s often overpriced or hard to find. Great product, but availability can be tricky!

il miglior esfoliante che abbia mai provato
Dopo tre mesi, ormai, dall’utilizzo posso confermare la sua efficacia. Ho la zona T un pó grassa e non mi unge per nulla. Lo utilizzo a giorni alterni e mi ha asciugato tutti i brufoli e levigato la pelle. Se devo proprio dire un qualcosa di negativo direi che non mi ha tolto le macchie post acne. Per il resto è perfetto!!!
