Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant 30ml

 BHA Liquid Exfoliant 30ml

Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant is a revolutionary skincare product designed to transform dull, congested skin into a clearer, smoother, and more radiant complexion. Enriched with 2% salicylic acid, a gold-standard beta hydroxy acid (BHA), this liquid exfoliant is specially formulated to gently remove dead skin cells, both on the surface and deep within pores.

Unlike physical exfoliants that can cause micro-tears and irritation, Paula's Choice BHA Exfoliant works chemically to dissolve excess oil, dead skin, and debris that clog pores. By penetrating deep into the pore lining, it prevents future breakouts, diminishes the appearance of blackheads and whiteheads, and reduces visible pore size. These benefits are clinically proven: independent studies showed that consistent use significantly reduced blackheads and controlled oil within one week, while visible pores were reduced after four weeks of use.

The liquid scrub is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and leaves no residue, making it an ideal addition to any skincare routine. It is alcohol- and fragrance-free and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin. Its formula also contains green tea leaf extract, a powerful antioxidant that soothes redness, reduces inflammation, and protects against environmental aggressors to repair and preserve the skin barrier.

In addition to exfoliating and clearing pores, the scrub improves skin texture by smoothing lines and wrinkles, contributing to a more youthful appearance. Gently exfoliated skin better absorbs serums and moisturizers, allowing skincare products to work more effectively.

The product is free of parabens, sulfates, gluten, and oils, making it lightweight and less likely to cause irritation or breakouts. It promotes a radiant complexion and balanced oil control without over-drying the skin.

Consistent use of Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant helps maintain skin's softness and clarity, preventing dirt buildup and promoting continuous cell renewal. It's ideal as a daily exfoliating toner after cleansing and before applying serums or moisturizers. It can be used once or twice a day, depending on skin tolerance. For daytime use, it's essential to combine it with a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher), as exfoliants can increase sun sensitivity.

In short, this scrub is an effective solution for those struggling with clogged pores, blackheads, textural irregularities, uneven skin tone, or signs of aging. Fulfills Paula's Choice's commitment to evidence-based formulas that deliver proven skin benefits without unnecessary ingredients or irritation.

3. Do not rinse; leave the exfoliant on your skin.
4. Follow with your usual serum or moisturizer.
