5.0 out of 5 stars Seems to make a difference
This was recommend to me by my daughter who works in a cosmetic surgery clinic. It definitely draws out that deep gunk and you will probably have to deal with a few pimples after using it for a couple weeks but they’ll clear up and you’ll be super happy with how your complexion looks after. I’ve had a few people tell me I’ve got a glow and ask me if I’ve changed foundations or changed something about my makeup.

I noticed I had really dull, grey skin that was very rough to the touch so I tried this product and loved it! make sure you apply it with a cotton pad though and i was just rubbing it in with my hands and I dont think it worked as well. My skin looks so much better now. The lads at work started calling me baby face!

4.0 out of 5 stars Subtle but Effective Over Time
I wasn’t sure if this product was doing much at first, but after sticking with it for a while, I’ve noticed some positive changes in my skin. My blackheads seem less noticeable, especially around my nose and chin, and my skin feels smoother overall. It’s a pretty gentle exfoliant, so I didn’t experience any irritation, which is great for my sensitive skin. The liquid absorbs quickly, leaving my face feeling fresh without any sticky feeling. It might not be a miracle worker, but it’s definitely made a difference over time. I’d say it’s worth trying out if you’re looking for a subtle yet effective addition to your skincare routine!

5.0 out of 5 stars Exfoliating but not at all stripping
This is my favorite exfoliator, it’s hard to go wrong with Paula’s Choice, though it is a bit pricey for me. However I don’t use this daily, more like twice a week so this does last for a while making it a worthwhile investment. I love that this is exfoliating however not at all irritating. I have very oily acne prone skin hat irritates easily, most exfoliators sting my skin, specially when used regularly. This one doesn’t sting at all and gets the job donde. Will 100% rebuy.

5.0 out of 5 stars This product is life changing!
This stuff is the real deal. Seriously. My skin is so nice and smooth I keep going over to the mirror to make sure it’s real. I cannot remember the last time my skin was this clear, probably in my pre-pubescent days. I’m not getting white heads anymore on my cheeks like usual. I’m also not getting the continuous stream of blackheads on my cheeks like usual. The texture of my skin is so smooth. For years and years I searched for a solution for my textured cheeks. No matter what I tried, I had bumps along my hairline and covering my cheeks. Could not get rid of these pesky bumps until one day I randomly did a search for “blackhead extraction†and this popped up. It had over 100,000 reviews so I said screw it, I’ll try it.And I can genuinely say, this product has changed my life. By MAJORLY boosting my confidence and FINALLY getting rid of the bumps I had on my cheeks for at least 10 years. I’ve tried so many different serums, creams, gadgets, diet changes, you name it. And nothing has even come close to what this product has done for me. This product is priceless. I will be a customer for life.

5.0 out of 5 stars This works wonders!!
This exfoliate is a miracle worker and has helped my skin so much. I am 75 and needed some help. It has helped plump my skin as well as smooth it and shrink the size of my pores. I would highly recommend if you are looking to give your skin a pick me up. My skin is very sensitive but I was able to go to daily use after only a week. Try it!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Liquid gold for the skin!
I never write reviews unless they are great and this stuff wow.. it works!!! I never have had bad skin other than the occasional breakout. But found myself struggling with blackheads/ clogged pores. Since I’ve started using this product it’s almost as if all of it has vanished. I’d say I started noticing a difference between 7-10 days. For the first few weeks of using this I was peeling like crazy. But after week 3 that completely stopped. My skin has never looked better and I will continue to buy this forever!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars WOC FRIENDLY. GREAT FOR DARK SKIN TONES
I’m writing this review, after going through the entire bottle. Consistency is key when it comes to skincare, and to see the benefits of this product is no different. I’ve been using this for about one month now, one time a day about 4 to 5 times a week. And I must say my skin has never been any trouble, however, I do like the extra glow and smoothness this product has brought out in my skin. I apply this after using my facial cleanser, and I wake up with such a glow. Despite the bottle being small, it last me just under a month, but I did only use this once a day. I’m currently on my second bottle, and we continue to purchase. Because I truly see a difference in the smoothness, brightness An overall appearance of my skin. I have semi sensitive skin, and have had no issues with this product. I am of a deeper Melanated complexion (think lupita) and truly would recommend. A must have staple in my skin care routine.ProsA little goes a long wayImproves that appearance of skinBrightens skin complexionAdds a glow to skinSmooths any imperfectionsNon greasyCons:A little expensive for the amount

5.0 out of 5 stars Immediate results
I have only used this product 3 times and I have already noticed a difference. My face feels so much softer and smoother. Typically, I have an oily t zone, dry skin on my cheeks and blackheads on my nose. The blackheads have not completely disappeared, but they have started to improve. It works almost as a deep clean even after I use my makeup remover and face wash beforehand. Worth a try for sure and I hope it continues to make a difference.

4.0 out of 5 stars Small bottle is plenty for test run
Photo is from my day one, I’ll update on the effectiveness in a few weeks I just wanted to let anyone who is wondering know that the small bottle is enough for a good month I would say. Little goes a long way for anyone who wants to give it a try a lesser commitment price. I thought my skin might be to sensitive as it is usually but it seems fine. Hasn’t caused any discomfort. I did as the bottle suggested and did every other day for the first week now I’m up to once a day. Hoping to see some results in the coming weeks.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW
Let me start by saying I have congested skin, so I know I need an exfoliant. I have used a large number of scrubs, peels, etc. throughout the years and most were bleh. I had become frustrated recently once again with my skin needing help and I saw this item. I decided to try it, and I have used it two nights in a row.Outcome: I could see a significant difference after just the first night. This morning after the second night/application, I still saw an improvement. I am excited that my skin is looking smoother, clearer, and has smaller pores after just two days. I repeat TWO DAYS. I will keep putting it on every night since it does leave a bit of a residue on the skin that I feel I would not like during the day (but maybe it was because I put a lot of it on). Overall, I will continue to use it. And for it being as effective as it is, I don’t think it’s going to irritate or make my skin red like some other exfoliants have used. But if anything changes I will update my review. Right now, if I could give this 10 stars I would.Also, I feel like this will only help people who have skin that needs exfoliating. If you have decent skin or skin that doesn’t need exfoliating, it may not be that amazing nor effective. But it all depends on what your skin needs, so if you have any needs that this product addresses I think you should give it a go. It at least won’t harm or irritate your skin.*Disclaimer: I put on a significant amount of this both nights, probably about a good double dose all over my face and the front of my neck and rubbed it in a bit with the cotton pad. I am certain this sped up the exfoliating process, and as I continue to use it I will probably go down to putting on just one application rather than a double application each night. I may eventually go to every other night, but that remains to be seen. I will just go with the flow and do whatever my skin needs. So far, amazingly effective.UPDATE: After the 3rd double application last night, I am STILL seeing an improvement in my skin. I will go down to a normal nightly application starting tonight since my skin is feeling a bit tight. It isn’t inflamed but I can tell it could become irritated if I continue double strength applications daily. And my skin is much improved already, so there is no reason to risk irritation. I will update how the regular single application works. Oh, I am seeing wrinkles diminish as well under and around my eyes!UPDATE #2: After the normal single application last night my skin is still improving. It doesn’t feel as tight as yesterday, so it was a good I listened to my skin. Will continue with single layer nightly applications! Still loving it!UPDATE #3: After several more days of using it only at night and an overall single application (with a little extra on certain areas of my face), my skin is still continuing to improve. I am definitely sold on this.UPDATE #4: After almost another week of use it feels like my skin has gotten used to it so I will be using a light coating in the morning with moisturizer afterward, and a heavy application at night also with moisturizer after. I will let the exfoliant fully dry before putting on the moisturizer to make sure it stays where it should. I will report back on how it goes. Fine lines are diminishing and it seems like a few darker spots on my face are slowly lightening. So far, I am still loving it. (I am also putting it on the front of my neck and upper chest and it’s helping there as well.) HOWEVER, I am not a person who puts on foundation or much makeup, so I am not sure how using this during the day would affect someone the foundation staying in place or not. Once I am back to my normal work outside the house I may decide to use it only at night, we will see.UPDATE #5: I am still using this daily twice a day and still seeing improvement in my skin. A few darker patches of skin near my temples are lightening, my pores are still getting smaller, and my fine lines are still diminishing. I have set this up on a subscription because it works so well for me. I hope this review helped you!

I have been using this product for a few weeks now, and I am sold! Will definitely repurchase when I run out. My skin has been feeling much tighter and softer. Only reason I gave it 4/5 stars because I don’t love the smell. It doesn’t stink, just doesn’t smell super clean if that makes sense. However, the smell isn’t bad enough for me to not use it. I started using once a day because I didn’t know how my skin would react but now I use it twice a day! Love this stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars Paula’s choice exfoliant/ Paula’s Choice Resist
Always had a hard time figuring out what I needed for my face with mild rosacea. Now I know I was being cheap. I decided to spend a little more money on an everyday use cleaner for my face. When I think of exfoliant, I think of the tiny balls that are in a liquid. This exfoliant is straight liquid but oh my goodness does it exfoliate my face! I always seem to get dirt off my face no matter how much I think it’s clean. Not to mention, my face is tighter and brighter. This really had me in shock when I noticed what a difference it made on my face. I use it in my face and whole neck, twice a day as much as possible, sometimes just once a day. My routine is wash my face with my glycerin bar, take a cotton pad with Paula’s choice exfoliant, rub circularly as well as I can, all over my whole face, neck, and behind ears, excluding my eyes. I purchased Paula’s choice Resist as is it a sunscreen as well as skin corrector, and apply it after the exfoliant is dried on my face, only in the am.I should mention, the first few weeks of using this duo, my face did glisten a lot. My face was totally dry, just looked oily as my skin was getting used to the new products.Highly recommend Paula’s choice Exfoliant and Paula’s choice Resist!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Absolute Best Exfoliator on the Market!
I am medium brown toned and had been struggling with a very dark mustache shadow for many years. I had tried all the creams for hyperpigmentation, skin lighters and whiteners and nothing had worked. My daily routine was applying a thick layer of makeup on my top lip which just barely covered it because it was so dark in contrast to my normal skin tone. I found Paula’s choice 2% thinking a liquid exfoliator might help as the scrub ones had only caused more damage and darkness to this area. I started seeing improvements immediately. My skin is thick and a bit oily so started out using it 2-3 times a day. Applying and massaging it in with my fingers so as not to waste the liquid by soaking application pads with it. Every week the area has grown lighter and lighter with no soreness or redness. Today after about a month of using it, I only needed a very thin, very light layer of make up which completely hid the now barely noticeable shadow. I just purchased the 9% and plan to try it today in hopes that the very last of my what used to be a very painful to deal with very dark shadow will completely disappear. The Best!

Audrey S. –
5.0 out of 5 stars If you actually understand how to use it, it’s amazing.
My skin type:- Very Dry, easily dehydrated- Oily nose- Prone to stubborn acne and closed comedones- Redness on chin and cheeks (not rosacea)I already use a nightly Tretinoin cream (.04% concentration) to help with my acne and premature signs of aging but decided with my derm that incorporating a BHA would be a good idea to help with my seriously stubborn closed comedones and some irritating textural issues. It was between this and the Cerave SA lotion and I ultimately decided on this due to the higher concentration of salicylic acid.It’s moisturizing, and feels sticky for the first 5-10 minutes after application but seems to sinks in to something of a satin finish on me and I can no longer feel it on my skin. You just have to be a little patient. My skin feels well hydrated and plump after it settles and looks really smooth and my pores aren’t as obvious. It sits just fine under makeup for me but I’m not a new user to chemical exfoliants so I don’t have lots of dead skin pilling up or sloughing off when I use it, my skin is, for the most part, already very smooth outside the acne and CCs. Occasionally I’ll apply it further down my neck/decolletage than usual and WOW do I old skin just ball up and peel right away – it’s so gross but also satisfying. So those that don’t exfoliate often or are new to BHA/AHAs will likely have issues with foundation until their skin adjusts (but it will adjust). My advice in those cases is to either use this at night for the first few weeks or just accept going barefaced for a little while if you can.I’d strongly suggest not applying this product over anything that you feel does not dry down fully, the times I’ve attempted to use it after serums or heavier products it takes forever to sink in and sometimes never fully does. I save all my serums and essences for after this has absorbed and it’s far easier to work with it as a result. My steps go like this most days: ACWell Licorice toner — PC 2% BHA — 10% Niacinamide serum — TO Matryxil serum — Secret Key Black Snail cream or Syn-ake cream w/ 3 drops Stratia Fortify oil — Sunscreen.It works fairly quickly IMO, on my neck where I typically don’t apply my Tret at night I noticed the peeling and balling of dead skin on day one and on my face where I have a patch of really awful CCs I noticed them getting smaller and smoother by around day 3-4. I’m going on about 8 days now and they’re barely visible unless I’m right up in the mirror and feel as if they’re almost gone when I touch my fingers to that area. I do have some slight peeling of the skin around my mouth and nose but it’s not terrible (likely because I already exfoliate the heck out of my skin with the tret).Some tips and things keep in mind:1)DO NOT RINSE IT OFF. I don’t understand some of the top reviews advising people to do that, it says on the bottle not to rinse and nearly all chemical exfoliators are meant to be left on until the next cleansing specifically so they can do their job. If you rinse it off you’re either going to prevent it from properly exfoliating or end up irritating the hell out of your skin. If you have oily skin and feel this might be heavy on you than you can probably just use this on bare skin and then sunscreen if you use in the AM or a lightweight lotion/cream and be done with it, but you need to leave it on your skin.2)You have got to use sunscreen while you’re using this product! Any BHA or AHA exfoliant causes increased sun sensitivity and you have to address that in your routine. You should already use sunscreen daily but it becomes a must when you incorporate a chemical exfoliator or you risk sun damage.3)Less is more! Don’t slop this on your face or soak a cotton pad in it, a little goes a long way and you’ll be kicking yourself if you apply way too much and have to wait 20+ minutes for it to sink in. Use a shake or two and add more if needed but go easy.4)Expect some irritation initially. Chemical exfoliants can be harsh and rough even on sturdy skin and you have to give yourself time to adjust. Over-exfoliation is a possibility but sometimes just introducing a BHA or AHA into your routine can cause some sensitivity. Don’t panic and just be gentle to your skin. Use ceramides (like Cerave Skin Renewing cream) or fatty oils to soothe your face if needed and try to stay away from any harsh products or acids like Vitamin C right after applying this to avoid really burning your face.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best product
I recently started using a salicylic acid toner, and I’m genuinely impressed with the results. This toner has transformed my skin, leaving it incredibly smooth and significantly reducing both blackheads and whiteheads.The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly, making it easy to incorporate into my routine. After just a few weeks of use, I’ve noticed a marked improvement in my skin’s clarity and texture. It effectively exfoliates without being overly harsh, which is a huge plus for my sensitive skin.If you’re struggling with stubborn blemishes or uneven texture, I highly recommend giving this toner a try. It’s become an essential part of my skincare routine!

5.0 out of 5 stars Works like magic! Goodbye large pores!
The lady that does my hair told me about this product, she did me a great big favor. She told me to put it on my face after I wash it, applying it to where I have large pores, my nose. Within just days the poor started to shrink and now they look wonderful. I highly recommend this and I just bought a second bottle for the downstairs bathroom. I like to use exfoliating facial wipes in the morning to clean my face and then I apply this product with either my finger, q-tip or cotton rounds. So if you have large pores I would suggest you get a bottle of this, it will clean them out and shrink them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Game-Changer for My Skin!
I’ve been using the Paula’s Choice SKIN PERFECTING 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant for a few weeks now, and wow—this stuff is legit! My skin has never looked this smooth. I struggle with blackheads, enlarged pores, and the occasional fine lines, but this exfoliant handles it all.After just a few uses, I noticed my pores looked smaller, and the stubborn blackheads on my nose started to clear up. My skin feels softer and more balanced—no more oily T-zone by midday. Plus, it’s gentle enough that I haven’t experienced any redness or irritation, which is a big win since I have somewhat sensitive skin.I apply it every other night after cleansing, and it absorbs quickly without feeling sticky. A little goes a long way, so the bottle will definitely last! If you’re on the fence, trust me—this product is worth every penny.Pro tip: Follow up with a good moisturizer and sunscreen during the day because this stuff really gets your skin working!

Does not burn and not a terrible smell. Has reduced pores and reduced reddish tones on my cheeks. I do not use daily but I do use it 3 times a week., at night. I wouldn’t Recommend in the morning or using under makeup. After I apply and rub it in I let it sit for about 30 min then I apply my good nighttime cream. Skip your serums when using this it will just cancele them out especially vit C. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to shrink pores and even out skin tones/oils! couldn’t live without it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow Wow Wow
I honestly didn’t think this stuff would work well, it’s hard to tell when a product is reviewed so highly if it’ll actually work for you.My skin is very sensitive. It is either very dry or super red but this stuff is a LIFESAVER. My skin has never looked better. It does have a weird smell but this is the price you pay for beauty fellas.

5.0 out of 5 stars Game Changer
This stuff has been a game changer for my skin. After I’d say 7-10 days my skin is totally glowing. It doesn’t burn or tingle but I’m used to acids on my face. It does have a slight odor but to be expected and doesn’t both me at all. I would recommend working up to daily because it can dry your skin out but it’s definitely a staple in my night time routine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Only buy for sebaceous glands on face
I bought this and the BHA 9 spot treatment for sebaceous gland bumps on my face. I honestly can’t tell if it works. I’ve been using it for over a year. They aren’t getting bigger, but not shrinking. I keep using it since I don’t know if this is helping slow down the bumps from getting bigger. I would not waste the money if you’re looking for help with blackheads or milias. If it wasn’t for the sebaceous glands and hoping it’s preventing them from getting larger, I wouldn’t waste the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars So far I’ve only used it twice so I don’t have much to say about it yet but I do like it
I’ve heard that this kind of ingredients are really good for your skin so I spent way more than I normally would but I actually really like it. We’ll see how it does on my skin. So far no irritation. You can just strip some on your fingers if you don’t want to waste it by putting on it on the cotton ball or a pad. Doesn’t take much.

Just my opinion –
5.0 out of 5 stars Effective exfoliator
I like this exfoliator. It is not too strong and does not give me a bad reaction. It is tightening my pores and smoothing my skin. I think it is making my face look younger (I’m 50).I recently lost 80 pounds and that released some fat on my face, causing crepey skin, fine lines, and sagging skin. I haven’t used this product for long but it has shrunk my pores for sure. I can only wear it in the morning because I wear a Cpap at night and the oil would negatively affect the mask. I wish I could wear this product to sleep too. I even wish it had stronger active ingredients.During the day, my skin does not appear to sag as much and my fine lines are not as visible but after I wash my face at night, the sagging and fine lines come back. I’m hoping that the more I use it that the sagging and fine lines will improve even after I wash the product off my face.Overall, my skin feels smoother and my pores have shrunk. I have not gotten any blemishes. My fine lines and sagging skin are less noticeable during the day. I think this product is worth the money so far and I’m adding it to my skincare regimen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Miracle
Not sure why but this is amazing. Uncovering smooth poreless skin. I will be buying the large one next. I rarely find skin products that make a real difference but this one does. Shrinks pores, revives texture and removes any blackheads.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear skin!!
I love this product! I reviewed it well before purchasing it. It cleans the extra trace of my cleanser off & makes my face feel so smooth. Clear skin when I wake up and more even skin tone. I am 65, and I feel this is a great wrinkle cream. The lines are less notice. Great product!

5.0 out of 5 stars Completely changed my skin
I don’t know how I stumbled upon this product, but I’m so glad I did. I have struggled with enlarged pores and combination skin for years. And usually by midday, my skin would feel greasy and look shiny. Now I use this fresh out of the shower and wait 5 to 10 minutes for it to dry. My skin feels so soft and tighter. My pores looks so much smaller. My blackheads are almost nonexistent. I barely need any make up at all. Then at night after my cleansing routine, I put it on again. I will never not be without this product. It is a game changer for sure. The longer I use it the more I like it. Don’t use it for a couple days and think it’s because it’s not. I think I’ve been using it for over a month and I never want to be without it. Bonus, it got a very high score on Yuka, which is an app to check the health and safety of skin care products and foods. Nothing bad in this!

5.0 out of 5 stars Skin smoothing
I have oily skin and large pores. As I’ve gotten older, my skin has become somewhat more unevenly textured and I also have some mild sun spots. I’ve been using this product for a couple months now and I’m impressed with how much better my skin looks. My skin texture is more even, my pores less pronounced and the just overall my skin looks more youthful. I did start using this every other day in the evening but after a few weeks stated using it nightly. I experienced a little dryness the first week or so, but now my skin is accustomed to it and I have no dryness. I will keep using this!

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice
I haven’t used it long enough to know if it does what it claims. What i can say is it makes my skin feel nice and look smooth when on. I bought the small size to trial. It comes out as a liquid. You only use a very small amount. I put it on either at night or in the am. I do not wash it off until next face wash (12-24 hours).
