Paula’s Choice BHA Exfoliant – The Skin Perfecting Solution
Invest in your skin, it is going to represent you for a very long time – Linden Tyler
Hi Loves,
Here I am back again with another product review and this time it’s something which I take care the most – my skin. If anyone has suggested you to take care of your skin, and you are just ignoring then I am telling you are making a huge mistake. You skin care should be your first priority in early phases of your life.
Good skin care products are very rare and it’s hard to find the correct one for your skin. Today I am going to review one which very few people know about and an innovative concept which can be your savior. Today I am going to talk about Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant Review.
Little knowledge on BHA
BHA is Beta Hydroxy Acid. It is a naturally occurring ingredient, usually derived from willow bark and other sources. It has been shown in multiple studies to improve skin barrier function and collagen production. It’s best used in concentrations from 0.5% – 2%. The reason BHA is such an effective treatment is because not is it antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and exfoliating – it also has the ability to travel deeper into the skin than many other skincare actives, including AHAs.

Review
I was a little skeptical about the product because my experience with products containing BHA has not been very good in the past. Because it irritates my skin and gives me rash on my forehead and the rash stays like a month. Then luckily I came across an article about what you shouldn’t do when you use BHA. Now I know what I was doing wrong this whole time. When you use BHA or this kind of product do not SCRUB your skin. That’s the key of getting the best result out of it. Again I started using Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA liquid exfoliant and no scrubbing as the article said. And Voila! I couldn’t believe my eyes. No rash at all. And the product itself did a great miracle for my skin.
I apply this nightly 2-3 times a week after I have cleansed and toned my face and it has done wonders. The result is I wake up with glowy, even texture, even color, with smaller looking pores. I pour a small amount into my hand and smooth a thin layer over my face. If you have sensitive skin like me, I would wait a bit after washing your face before using this. I actually wash my face, use my essence and moisturizer, and then wait at least 15-30 min for everything to sink in. Then I apply the BHA on top. You would think it wouldn’t work as well, but I get the same results but my skin feels plumper and more hydrated in the morning. Will never stop buying this.

XOXO
IM a huge fan of Paulas Choice skincare! Such amazing stuff and perfect for sensitive skin!
I’ve not heard of Paula’s Choice before! Thanks for the head’s up!
My neglected face has been begging for some attention. This might just be what it needs.
This could really help. Go ahead and try this.
I have never heard of Paula’s Choice. I will have to look for it sometime.
I’ve tried this product before and it was wonderful! I do prefer chemical exfoliators over physical ones, my skin seems to react better to them.
Great to know you tried this. I love this product too specifically.
I love skin care reviews! I am such a junkie for them. This one has a few too many “glycols” for me but I am glad you liked it!
Looks like a great product! If you’re big into exfoliation (as I am), you should definitely check out this cleanser. I’m totally in love:

Sounds like a great product. I love salicylic acid for help with exfoliation – it always makes my face seem so much fresher and brighter!
Glad you like it.
It’s great that it works well for you. I abstain from products with salicylic acid because it cause breakouts.
Great tip! sounds like a really great product 🙂
This is new to me. I’ve never heard of this before but I love any skin products. Ill keep this in mind,
What a wonderful product! Never heard of this before but by the looks of it, many people seem to be loving this. My tired and worn out face really needs some pampering, this might be that one product I guess.
