Paula's Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant | Salicylic Acid for Pores & Acne-Prone Skin
Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant is a leave-on exfoliating treatment formulated with 2% salicylic acid (BHA) to help exfoliate the skin, unclog pores and improve the appearance of uneven skin texture and tone. Because salicylic acid is oil-soluble, BHA can work inside the pore lining to help dissolve buildup that can contribute to clogged pores and blemishes.
Its lightweight liquid formula helps leave skin looking smoother, clearer and more refined while targeting common concerns such as enlarged pores, bumps, uneven texture and dull-looking skin.
