Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid

Product: "Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid works on all skin types. The non-abrasive formula:

• Rapidly exfoliates the skin’s surface and inside the pore, reshaping the pore lining, unclogging pores and improving skin cell turnover rate
• Reduces redness and irritation thanks to green tea extract
• Dramatically improves skin’s texture for radiant, even-toned skin
• Is clinically proven to hydrate, brighten and reduce fine lines
• Stimulates collagen production for smoother, firmer skin
• Is 100% fragrance- and colorant-free, with no added dyes or irritants
• Is never tested on animals

Please Note: Those allergic to aspirin (acetylsalicylate) should not use products containing salicylic acid (beta hydroxy acid).

Skin naturally sheds billions of skin cells each day. But when this natural shedding slows or stops due to sun damage, genetics, or dry or oily skin, the results are unmistakable — you’ll be faced with dull, dry, or flaky skin, clogged pores, blemishes, white bumps and uneven skin tone when you look in the mirror. Luckily, the right kind of exfoliant helps restore skin’s balance. When you gently rid your skin of built-up skin cells, you can reverse clogged pores, stop breakouts, smooth wrinkles and even eliminate dry skin. A powerful exfoliant like Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Liquid:

• Makes skin smoother and eliminates dry, rough patches
• Increases skin cell turnover rate
• Allows other skincare products to work better
• Helps fade signs of sun damage, including wrinkles".

Use: This product should be applied once or twice a day "after cleansing and toning. Lightly soak a cotton pad and apply over the entire face, including the eye area (avoid the lower lash line and eyelids). Do not rinse. For daytime, follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen rated SPF 25 or greater."

This was usually the first product I applied after washing my face. I would let it absorb, and then apply eye cream and other products over it.

Verdict: I have heard nothing but good things about both Paula's Choice and BHA liquid exfoliant in general.  I've only been using the product for about a week or two, and I haven't noticed any vast improvements, but I definitely intend to keep this as part of my skin care routine for a while.  Thanks to BzzAgent for this opportunity (#GotItFree).
