Name: Paula's Choice SKIN PERFECTING 2 BHA Liquid Exfoliant (4 fl. oz.)
SKU: 57947
Availability: InStock

This cult-favorite exfoliant has a serious fan base—and for good reason. Powered by 2% salicylic acid (BHA), it clears pores, tackles blackheads, and smooths out texture without the sting of physical scrubs.

It’s lightweight, fragrance-free, and gentle enough for sensitive or acne-prone skin. Users say it’s helped them achieve clearer, more radiant skin—especially if they deal with clogged pores or oiliness.

The formula also includes calming green tea extract to soothe irritation and boost antioxidant protection.

Note: You might experience a little dryness or breakouts (aka purging) when you first start using it. Start small and always pair it with SPF.
