A silky, toner-like consistency enhances penetration to maximize exfoliation.
What makes this product unique?
Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid rapidly exfoliates both the skin's surface and inside the pore, reshaping the pore lining, 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. There is a great deal of research indicating that BHA (beta hydroxy acid) increases collagen production and drastically smoothes the surface of skin.
Additionally, BHA has antibacterial properties that attack blemish-causing bacteria. The lightweight, non-occlusive formula allows for a faster and deeper exfoliation rate than our gel or lotion BHA products, so it's an ideal choice for stubborn clogged pores or blackheads.
This product is 100% fragrance- and colorant-free with a pH range of 3.2-3.6. Every Paula's Choice BHA product is formulated with additional soothing agents.
Who is this product for?
All skin types may use this product, but the texture is especially suited for those with normal to oily or combination skin, stubborn blackheads, and blemish-prone skin. It can also be used regularly to eliminate calluses on feet, elbows and knees.

Like all of the products developed by skincare expert Paula Begoun and her team, Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant has been evaluated in independent clinical studies to demonstrate its effectiveness. During the study, 100 percent of users experienced improvements in the hydration levels of their skin after just one week of use. After four weeks of using the exfoliating toner, 96 percent of participants noticed brighter skin and 93 percent reported fewer visible lines and wrinkles around the nose and mouth. With 30 days of use, 90 percent of those surveyed felt that the overall texture of their skin improved. Plus, 82 percent of users reported that the size of their pores appeared smaller.
With its fast-absorbing formula, Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant is easy to apply. For the best results, the formula should be swept on with a cotton ball or pad immediately after cleansing. By lifting away dead skin cells from the surface of the complexion, the formula improves the absorption of treatments and moisturizers applied afterward. As a result, regular use can enhance the effectiveness of an entire daily skincare routine. The lightweight exfoliator does not require rinsing, so you can continue with your regimen immediately after the formula is applied.
Balanced to meet the needs of all skin types, Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant is enriched with green tea extract to soothe the complexion and provide antioxidant protection. The toner is non-irritating to suit the needs of delicate skin.
