At the beginning of lockdown, I suffered a severe breakout on my temples like I’ve never known in my life. I had suffered from the odd spot here or there, but nothing out of the ordinary. Enter Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant @paulaschoice. I have been using this product for nearly 4 weeks now and I can confidentially say this has changed my skin.
What it does
- Exfoliates dead skin cells
- Prevents breakouts and blackheads
- Smooths and evens skin tone
My Review
Within the first couple of days I pretty much stopped getting spots. I may get the odd spot here or there come through (we’re talking maybe one a week), but previously I was getting around 3 or 4 new ones appearing a day.
This is a toner that should be applied after cleansing. I put the product into my hands and pat gently into my face. It has a watery consistency and soaks straight into your skin. The scent is sort of medicinal.
I tend to use this in my PM routine every other day. As this is a chemical exfoliator, I don’t plan on using it every day as I don’t want to over exfoliate my skin, even if the instructions say I can. I find it a tad drying for my skin, so I have had to use a thicker moisturiser in the evening to counteract the dryness.
Never again will I be without this product in my collection. This has saved my skin so I cannot recommend this product enough. If you’re currently suffering from maskne, it’s worth giving this product a look.
