What Is Paula’s Choice SBHA Liquid Exfoliant?
The beloved Paula’s Choice liquid exfoliant penetrates pores to dissolve oil and exfoliate dead skin cells, leaving a clearer, smoother complexion without irritation — and it effectively tackles blackheads, enlarged pores, and fine lines in the process. The hero of the ingredient list is salicylic acid, a chemical exfoliant that reviewers claim is far more gentle than abrasive physical exfoliants (think the harsh scrubs that were in vogue circa the early aughts). Above all, this product is effective but gentle. It’s fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, and suitable for all skin types, even sensitive skin.
100,000+ Reviewers Swear by It
This exfoliant has a whopping 100,000+ reviews on Amazon, and countless before-and-after photos show impressive results within mere weeks. Customers claim it helps with rosacea outbreaks (just “give yourself 2-3 days between using it, and cover it with moisturizer after it is absorbed”) while others swear it’s a holy grail for acne and helps diminish fine lines.
If you’re looking to see what all the hype is about, grab Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant on Amazon for $30+.
