Paula's Choice RESIST Daily Pore-Refining Treatment With 2% BHA 30ml

Paula's Choice RESIST Pore Refining Daily Treatment with 2% BHA is a science-backed, multi-action exfoliant designed to deliver transformative results for those experiencing congested pores, dullness, and visible signs of aging.

This innovative, no-rinse liquid exfoliant harnesses the proven effectiveness of 2% BHA (salicylic acid), a gentle yet powerful ingredient renowned for its ability to penetrate deep into pores, dissolve sebum, and remove dead skin cells from both the surface and interior. Unlike traditional harsh exfoliants, BHA chemical exfoliation works without physically rubbing the skin, so it doesn't cause redness or micro-tears. The result? Skin that feels fresh, refined, and noticeably smoother, with fewer blackheads, less congestion, and a clearer, healthier appearance.

But this formula offers much more than just exfoliation. The RESIST Pore Refining Daily Treatment is enriched with a blend of antioxidants and cell-communicating peptides, such as palmitoyl tripeptide-1 and palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, which reinforce skin elasticity and prevent the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. Allantoin and panthenol soothe and hydrate, reducing the risk of irritation commonly associated with exfoliants.

This high-performance treatment features a light, watery texture that absorbs quickly and layers evenly, whether you're creating an anti-aging routine or treating persistent breakouts. Its pH range (approximately 3.2–3.8) ensures optimal efficacy without disrupting the skin barrier. It is fragrance-free to minimize the likelihood of sensitivity or allergic reactions and is suitable for use around the eyes (avoiding the lash line and eyelids).

For those who suffer from blackheads, enlarged or clogged pores, uneven texture, or dull skin, regular use of this product helps achieve visibly brighter, firmer, and more even-toned skin. By stimulating healthy cell renewal and combating environmental stressors, resilience and radiance are restored.

Paula's Choice is committed to cruelty-free development; every aspect of this product, from its creation to its packaging, is never tested on animals and is free of harsh ingredients. It fits into any skincare routine for people with mature, oily, combination, normal, or even dry skin, thanks to its leak-proof hydration and gentle formula.

Whether you're new to chemical exfoliants or a seasoned skincare expert, the RESIST Pore Refining Daily Treatment with 2% BHA is trusted by dermatologists and customers for its balance of efficacy and skin-friendliness. The result? Healthier, brighter, smoother, and younger-looking skin day after day.
