Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant 118ml

Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant is a leave-on exfoliating toner designed to help refine the look of congested, lacklustre skin. The lightweight, fluid texture sweeps over the skin like a toner, working with 2% salicylic acid (BHA) to lift away built-up dead surface cells and clear within the pores. The formula also includes green tea extract and hydrating glycols to support the skin's barrier, helping it feel smoother, softer and comfortably balanced rather than stripped.Suitable for all skin types, particularly combination, oily and blemish-prone skin, this product fits easily into a daily skincare routine after cleansing. Used regularly, it helps to promote the look of clearer pores, a more even skin tone and a fresher-looking complexion. The fragrance-free formula is designed to sit well under serums, moisturiser and SPF, making it a versatile step whether used in a simple routine or alongside a more advanced regimen.Why we love it- Uses 2% salicylic acid (BHA) to help unclog pores and smooth the look of uneven texture.- Lightweight, toner-like liquid absorbs quickly, so it layers easily with the rest of a skincare routine.- Fragrance-free formula with green tea extract and hydrating glycols helps to support the skin barrier and reduce the feel of dryness.- Especially suited to combination, oily and blemish-prone skin that's looking for a clearer, more refined-looking complexion.How to useHow to Use:After cleansing, apply the product to clean, dry skin. Dispense a small amount onto fingertips or a cotton pad and smooth over the face and neck, avoiding the lash line and eyelids. Do not rinse. Follow with the rest of your skincare routine.Frequency:Start by using every other day and observe how the skin responds, then gradually increase to up to twice daily if comfortable. Use in the morning and/or evening as part of a regular routine.Application Technique:Sweep the liquid evenly across the face and neck, taking care around delicate areas. Allow the formula to absorb fully before applying serums, moisturiser and, in the daytime, sunscreen.Best Practices:Apply to freshly cleansed skin and avoid using other strong exfoliants at the same time. Use a light layer rather than saturating the skin and allow a few moments for absorption before layering other products. Always follow with a broad-spectrum SPF during the day.Safety Tips:For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes and lips; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Discontinue use if irritation or persistent redness occurs and keep out of reach of children. Follow any additional guidance on the product packaging.
