If you like we can let you know when we have some more.

What we say The powerhouse ingredient behind this gentle, exfoliating liquid is BHA, a clinically-proven blemish buster that works to unclog pores down to their oiliest depths. As well as this, Witch Hazel and Green Tea Extract help soothe skin with reparative anti-oxidants so the complexion is left bright and clear.
A leave-on liquid exfoliant containing 2% BHA (salicylic acid) that dissolves built-up dead skin cells on the skin's surface and inside the pore, 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, clearer and younger-looking skin.

Paula's Choice is a PETA certified cruelty-free brand; they do not test any of their products on animals.

Directions

Lightly soak a cotton pad and gently apply over the entire face and neck, including the eye area (avoid lash line and eyelids). Do not rinse.

At first, apply every other day and note skin’s response. Then use up to twice daily. For daytime, follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen rated SPF 30 or greater.

Start slowly: Apply every other day and note skin's response. Then use up to twice daily.

For daytime, always finish with a sunscreen rated SPF 30 or above. For nighttime, follow with the rest of your routine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from See the difference over night, saved my skin! This is the second time I have bough this product and it has genuinely changed my skin for the better! I had uneven bumpy skin and some very mild acne and decided to give this product a go after over a year of trying other brands and products. I use this every other night to start with and the next morning you can literally see how refreshed and glowing you skin is. I've recommended it to all of my friends, it gave me back my confidence.. Thank you Paulas Choice !

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Helped clear my jaw line breakout!! Since wearing mask and perhaps due to hormones I started to breakout along my jaw line, I’ve never had any form of acne before (I turned 30 this year!) I did some research and this came up all the time, I don’t have oily skin, how I used this is using a cotton bud applied to the blemishes every other night, and used the first aid thick moisturiser after, and it has massively improved my face!! It’s a lot clearer and I feel like it’s help with the healing and getting I’d of the red marks a spot leaves behind, my skin is still not perfect but looks a 100% better!! Would recommend- my skin is on the dry side and it’s not really sensitive for reference.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from The best product for keeping acne away and shrinking those pores I have been using this chemical exfoliator for just over a year and I can’t really fault it. I get a lot of hormonal acne and by using this BHA it keeps all those pesky spots at bay. It helps minimise the size of my pores and cuts down on the amount of blackheads I get on my nose and chin. As gentle as this is, I still wouldn’t use it twice a day since it could dry out your skin from the salicylic acid. I apply this to my face every other night or every night if I find my skin is over producing oil. If you do decide to use this product, make sure you keep your face out of the sun and use a high SPF - I cannot stress this enough!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Hero product! I have sensitive skin and when they first stated coming onto market I was doubtful of liquid exfoliants and held back for a long time. Too long a time, I might add, because when I finally decided to give Paula's Choice 2% BHA exfoliant I was amazed at the results. Skin is indeed perfected, brighter, cleaner, pores minimised, and I didn't have an adverse reaction to the product. I started out using every other night and I still like to alternate with different toners or products, but I can also use it everyday if I want to, safe in the knowledge that it will not irritate my skin. I arrived late to the liquid exfoliants party but I'm not leaving any time soon. I cannot live without Paula's Choice 2% BHA exfoliant and I'm on my third bottle now.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Can't recommend enough! I bought this about 3 weeks ago and at the time I'd booked an appointment with my doctor because my acne had reappeared suddlenly in my mid 30s and was getting worse over 2 months. I thought I would definitely need an antibiotic. I decided to give this a try anyway and after first use I noticed the spots shrinking and my skin has never had such a gorgeous glow before! After 4 days my spots were almost gone and just healing up and easy to hide with makeup. So I cancelled my docs appointment and continue to use this and I haven't had anymore spots appearing and my skin looks and feels amazing! I did get some dry patches on my nose but a good moisturiser helps! I don't think I can live without this stuff now!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Skin improved dramatically using this! Would highly recommend I've always struggled with sensitive acne and eczema prone skin - the worst combination! I have been to a dermatologist and my GP numerous times and have tried literally EVERYTHING they recommend and things that I've seen recommended online and nothing has worked long term. I've been using this for a few months now and my skin has improved a lot! It improved dramatically at the beginning and now is improving more slowly, but this really does work wonders! I always use Cerave moisturising lotion after this, to avoid any dryness and that seems to do the trick. I was kind of worried about using this because of how sensitive my skin is, but it caused no irritation at all!

Hii can I use this with the ordinary niacinamide and vitamin c serum?

Asked by: Shital
You can use vitamin c with niacinamide and niacinamide with salicylic acid but you cannot use salicylic acid with vitamin c as it lessons it’s effects.

I am a 61 year old with dry, flaky skin. Would you recommend this product. I have been looking for a good cruelty free exfoliator for some time but worry about the drying effect.

Asked by: Anonymous
I never had any issues with drying. It works well as an exfoliant but isn’t over drying. I’d introduce it slowly once or twice a week and then increase usage.

Should it be used daily or weekly ?

Asked by: Anonymous
I think it depends on your skin type. I use it every other evening and see good results.
