Paula's Choice SKIN PERFECTING 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant with Salicylic Acid, Facial Polish for Enlarged Pores, Wrinkles & Fine Lines, Suitable for Blackhead-Prone Skin, Fragrance-Free

I chose this exfoliant years ago because I wanted something effective but not harsh, and it’s become one of those skincare staples I always come back to. I usually stock up during Black Friday or Prime Day because I genuinely don’t like being without it. I’m currently not using it because of pregnancy, but I can’t wait to add it back in afterward. Within just a few days of use, my pores look noticeably smaller and my skin feels smoother and more even. It delivers visible results without irritating my skin, which is hard to find in an exfoliant. If you’re looking for something that actually works and earns a permanent place in your routine, this is it. It’s reliable, effective, and something I’ve recommended many times over the years.

I really liked this liquid exfoliant. It helps renew the skin without irritating it, leaving my face smoother and feeling deeply cleansed. The texture is light, it applies easily, and absorbs quickly. I've used it regularly and have noticed that it improves the appearance of my skin, helping to remove dead skin cells and allowing other products to absorb better. It doesn't leave a sticky feeling or dry out my skin. It's ideal for combination skin like mine.

I’ve struggled for YEARS with acne-prone, oily skin, trying product after product with little to no success — until I found this gem! 🌟 From the first few uses, I noticed my skin felt smoother and less congested, and within a couple of weeks, my breakouts were visibly fewer and my pores looked cleaner and smaller. This exfoliant has truly been a miracle for my skin — it unclogs pores, controls oil, and helps keep future acne at bay. My complexion now looks clearer, calmer, and more balanced than it has in such a long time. I also love that it’s lightweight and absorbs beautifully without feeling sticky or harsh. Highly recommend to anyone with oily, acne-prone skin! 💛✨

I LOVE this product, but it didn't help with my enlarged pores or wrinkles as I'd hoped. That said, it definitely helped with blackheads, which was a nice bonus. My routine: I have combination skin and use this on my face both morning and night. Applied it with a cotton round. Texture: Left a greasy feel after application, which wasn't ideal but manageable. Why I tried it: Had good reviews on Amazon and other sites, so I thought I'd give it a go. Value: One bottle lasts a long time - good bang for your buck. Current status: Had to stop using it with other skin treatments I'm on now (tretinoin), but I bought several bottles when I was using it regularly because I liked it so much for blackheads. Bottom line: If you're dealing with blackheads, this works really well. Just don't expect miracles for pores or anti-aging. I'd still recommend it for what it does best.

the best liquid exfoliant. if you want glass skin and zeros pores then get this. i’ve used this for over two years now and my skin is brighter, smoother, and i seriously don’t have pores on my face anymore and i know it’s because of this product.

Before and after! A big difference in only 24 hours. When I first got this, I washed my face in the morning with La Posay, used Paula's choice liquid exfoliate and topped off with the inkey lightweight moisturizer. Evening came around, i cleaned and moisturized. The next morning came and I only cleansed and moisturized skipping the exfoliate. My pores already look smaller, less clogged, the redness and any irritation and inflammation mounds from squeezing blackheads out are gone for the most part. It's crazy how in about 24 hours of use I already see a difference. My skin isnt super oily or super dry, its at the perfect medium and looks more even

After three weeks, Paula’s Choice Liquid Exfoliant has made a noticeable difference in my skin texture and pore clarity, especially around my nose and T-zone. My pores look cleaner and more refined, and my skin feels smoother with consistent use. The lightweight, fragrance-free formula absorbs quickly and layers well under other products. I did experience irritation when I applied it to my neck, but that completely went away once I stopped using it there and kept it to my face only. This product works best for me once at night. Overall, it’s an effective exfoliant that delivers real results as long as you’re mindful of placement and frequency.

Never ran so fast to make a review let me tell you about this stuff it works worth every penny I got on sale but would pay full price leaves skin softer and helps with rough patches and oil on face my face has cleared up and I use a really good moisturizer and face oil with this and I have seen so much improved skin tone texture and oil control would recommend to anyone with a red face be consistent and don't use a cotton ball just put a little in palm of your hand and rub on your face cause the cotton ball will absorb a lot of the product and it is kinda expensive for size of bottle

Llevo años usando este producto porque me ayuda a controlar mis espinillas ocasionales. Mantiene los poros limpios y se notan menos. No podría estar sin él

Love this , it really works, skin became much prettier! Will buy again 👍

It does the job.

Amazing product! The progress with this takes a few months ...but please be patient! At 33 years old I never thought I’d be free from breakouts and scarring from cystic hormonal type acne. Started using once a day on a cotton pad at night. Skin will sting a tad & be slightly flaky to start after a few days. Skin may “purge” spots as pores are unclogged but this will calm down - trust me! Once skin becomes flaky I then reduced to use all over my face every 3 days, but everyday along my jawline and neck. I follow with a light oil free moisturiser. Honestly, I have used around 2 bottles in 8 months and I get minimal spots now, and they heal very quickly. Any inflammation comes up and I pop a dab of this on! Skin also feels so smooth too. This is a real review!!! It could change your life!!

Really great product and worth investing in. On my second bottle, be sure to only use once or maybe twice a week as I had previously overused it and my skin reacted. But when used once a week I’ve been seeing a real difference in my skin texture and pours !
