Paulas Choice SKIN PERFECTING 2% BHA Liquid Salicylic Acid Exfoliant is a chemical exfoliant that is designed to improve the texture and tone of the skin. It is formulated with 2% salicylic acid, a type of beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that helps to gently exfoliate the skin by breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells, revealing brighter, smoother and clearer looking skin. The liquid exfoliant also contains other ingredients such as green tea, licorice root, and allantoin which can help to soothe, hydrate, and calm the skin. It is packaged in a 30ml container and can be used as part of a daily skincare routine, usually after cleansing and before moisturizing.

Key Benefits :

• Chemical Exfoliation: The key ingredient in this product is beta hydroxy acid (BHA), which is a type of exfoliant that helps to remove dead skin cells and unclog pores. BHA is oil-soluble, which means that it can penetrate deep into the pores to remove impurities and excess sebum that can cause blackheads and acne.
• Smooths skin texture: BHA helps to smooth out rough, uneven texture by removing the buildup of dead skin cells on the surface of the skin. This can help to improve the overall appearance of the skin and make it look more radiant and youthful.
• Brightening: The product can also help to brighten the skin by reducing the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
• Anti-aging: BHA can also help to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen production, which helps to firm and plump the skin.
• Suitable for all skin types: This product is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. It’s free of fragrances, colorants, and other potential irritants that can cause allergic reactions or sensitivity.
• Non-irritating: This liquid exfoliant is gentle and non-irritating, making it suitable for daily use.
