Paula's Choice Skin Balancing
NEW!2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant 4 fl oz (120 ml)
$19.95
A silky, toner-like consistency enhances penetration to maximize exfoliation. What makes this product unique? Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid rapidly exfoliates both the skin's surface and inside the pore, reshaping the pore lining, unclogging pores and improving skin cell turnover rate. The result is a dramatic improvement in the skin's appearance, feel, and function which leads to healthier skin. There is a great deal of research indicating that BHA (beta hydroxy acid) increases collagen production and drastically smoothes the surface of skin. Additionally, BHA has antibacterial properties that attack blemish-causing bacteria. The lightweight, non-occlusive formula allows for a faster and deeper exfoliation rate than our gel or lotion BHA products, so it's an ideal choice for stubborn clogged pores or blackheads. This product is 100% fragrance- and colorant-free with a pH range of 3.2-3.6. Every Paula's Choice BHA product is formulated with additional soothing agents. Who is this product for? All skin types may use this product, but the texture is especially suited for those with normal to oily or combination skin, stubborn blackheads, and blemish-prone skin. It can also be used regularly to eliminate calluses on feet, elbows and knees.

Comments about Paula's Choice Skin Balancing 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant, 4 fl oz:
I am happy to see Paula's Choice at Beauty.com! For many, many years I've always felt this brand should have much wider exposure in the marketplace. So many people's skin will benefit from PC's products. This BHA exfoliant is a liquid that I apply with a cotton ball, just like a toner. It leaves a light coating on my skin that soaks in overnight. It works perfectly with any other product I've used over it, i.e. moisturizer or treatment. When I started using this liquid exfoliant many years ago, I recall thinking, "Finally a product that produces results I can SEE." 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant is simply the best of its kind and anyone with breakouts, large pores, oil-control issues, or flaky skin, will definitely want to try it.

Comments about Paula's Choice Skin Balancing 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant, 4 fl oz:
This is my favorite skin care product, or at least in my top 3. I use it at night after cleansing and toning. I used to use it everyday but I would get dry from it, so I use it now 4 times a week in the winter. It clears up acne, kills bacteria, diminishes oil production, improves complexion color and even-ness, and brightens my skin. All of those things in one product. Seriously, I love this. It works for my combination/oily, sensitive, acne-prone skin. I have the most finnicky skin type, but this stuff does the trick!
Also if youre looking for a salicyclic acid product please be sure to make sure the formula is in the right pH. If the acididty of the formulation is off, then the product does not work and you're not exfoliating at ALL. I have tried EVERYTHING--Neutrogena, OxyPads, Clearasail, Clean and Clear, Burt's Bees, Simple Skin, organic skin care, Eminence, Aveeno, ProActiv, etc.! I still come back to my dear olld Paula's Choice, and this product in particular.
The product can be a bit oily upon application, but it dries quickly and you can easily layer products on top of it. It works to kill bacteria, and because of it, I haven't broken out. IF you don't like the oily feeling you might get upon application, you can try the CLEAR Regular Strength exfoliating toner Paula Choice makes, but this one is stronger, and out of the two, which I have for some reason as an beauty addict, I MUCH prefer this one because it kills the acne faster and stronger.
