Review: A staple exfoliant I always return to - I chose this exfoliant years ago because I wanted something effective but not harsh, and it’s become one of those skincare staples I always come back to. I usually stock up during Black Friday or Prime Day because I genuinely don’t like being without it. I’m currently not using it because of pregnancy, but I can’t wait to add it back in afterward. Within just a few days of use, my pores look noticeably smaller and my skin feels smoother and more even. It delivers visible results without irritating my skin, which is hard to find in an exfoliant. If you’re looking for something that actually works and earns a permanent place in your routine, this is it. It’s reliable, effective, and something I’ve recommended many times over the years.
Review: If you actually understand how to use it, it's amazing. - My skin type: - Very Dry, easily dehydrated - Oily nose - Prone to stubborn acne and closed comedones - Redness on chin and cheeks (not rosacea) I already use a nightly Tretinoin cream (.04% concentration) to help with my acne and premature signs of aging but decided with my derm that incorporating a BHA would be a good idea to help with my seriously stubborn closed comedones and some irritating textural issues. It was between this and the Cerave SA lotion and I ultimately decided on this due to the higher concentration of salicylic acid. It's moisturizing, and feels sticky for the first 5-10 minutes after application but seems to sinks in to something of a satin finish on me and I can no longer feel it on my skin. You just have to be a little patient. My skin feels well hydrated and plump after it settles and looks really smooth and my pores aren't as obvious. It sits just fine under makeup for me but I'm not a new user to chemical exfoliants so I don't have lots of dead skin pilling up or sloughing off when I use it, my skin is, for the most part, already very smooth outside the acne and CCs. Occasionally I'll apply it further down my neck/decolletage than usual and WOW do I old skin just ball up and peel right away - it's so gross but also satisfying. So those that don't exfoliate often or are new to BHA/AHAs will likely have issues with foundation until their skin adjusts (but it will adjust). My advice in those cases is to either use this at night for the first few weeks or just accept going barefaced for a little while if you can. I'd strongly suggest not applying this product over anything that you feel does not dry down fully, the times I've attempted to use it after serums or heavier products it takes forever to sink in and sometimes never fully does. I save all my serums and essences for after this has absorbed and it's far easier to work with it as a result. My steps go like this most days: ACWell Licorice toner --- PC 2% BHA --- 10% Niacinamide serum --- TO Matryxil serum --- Secret Key Black Snail cream or Syn-ake cream w/ 3 drops Stratia Fortify oil --- Sunscreen. It works fairly quickly IMO, on my neck where I typically don't apply my Tret at night I noticed the peeling and balling of dead skin on day one and on my face where I have a patch of really awful CCs I noticed them getting smaller and smoother by around day 3-4. I'm going on about 8 days now and they're barely visible unless I'm right up in the mirror and feel as if they're almost gone when I touch my fingers to that area. I do have some slight peeling of the skin around my mouth and nose but it's not terrible (likely because I already exfoliate the heck out of my skin with the tret). Some tips and things keep in mind: 1) DO NOT RINSE IT OFF. I don't understand some of the top reviews advising people to do that, it says on the bottle not to rinse and nearly all chemical exfoliators are meant to be left on until the next cleansing specifically so they can do their job. If you rinse it off you're either going to prevent it from properly exfoliating or end up irritating the hell out of your skin. If you have oily skin and feel this might be heavy on you than you can probably just use this on bare skin and then sunscreen if you use in the AM or a lightweight lotion/cream and be done with it, but you need to leave it on your skin. 2) You have got to use sunscreen while you're using this product! Any BHA or AHA exfoliant causes increased sun sensitivity and you have to address that in your routine. You should already use sunscreen daily but it becomes a must when you incorporate a chemical exfoliator or you risk sun damage. 3) Less is more! Don't slop this on your face or soak a cotton pad in it, a little goes a long way and you'll be kicking yourself if you apply way too much and have to wait 20+ minutes for it to sink in. Use a shake or two and add more if needed but go easy. 4) Expect some irritation initially. Chemical exfoliants can be harsh and rough even on sturdy skin and you have to give yourself time to adjust. Over-exfoliation is a possibility but sometimes just introducing a BHA or AHA into your routine can cause some sensitivity. Don't panic and just be gentle to your skin. Use ceramides (like Cerave Skin Renewing cream) or fatty oils to soothe your face if needed and try to stay away from any harsh products or acids like Vitamin C right after applying this to avoid really burning your face.

## Features

- GENTLE NON-ABRASIVE LEAVE-ON EXFOLIANT: With 2% BHA (Beta hydroxy acid), to unclog & diminish enlarged pores, exfoliate dead skin cells, smooth wrinkles, and brighten and even out skin tone. Combats redness, wrinkles, aging, enlarged pores, and blackheads.
- Dramatically improves skin's texture for radiant youthful even-toned skin. Beta hydroxy acid (BHA, also known as salicylic acid) mimics the natural exfoliation process of younger skin by helping it shed extra layers while unclogging and clearing pores.
- HYDRATE, BRIGHTEN & SMOOTH FINE LINES: Our unique, non-abrasive, leave-on exfoliant is gentle enough for daily use on all skin types. Exfoliates dead skin cells while clearing pores for a more even tone, plus it visibly reduces fine lines & wrinkles.
- Paula's Choice facial exfoliants are gentler on delicate skin of the face & neck than an abrasive face scrub, which can cause micro-tears. A BHA leave-on exfoliator delivers hydration & can exfoliate directly inside the pore & improve how the pore works.
- Paula's Choice Skincare makes products that work. No fragrance, no fluff. Just effective, science-backed formulas that target any concern from wrinkles to breakouts.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does the 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliating Toner help improve skin?**
A: It works within the pore lining to combat & prevent congestion, clogs, and blemishes, while visibly smoothing fine lines and improving dullness. Over time, the 2% BHA Liquid also helps control excess oil & minimize pores.

**Q: How often should I use the 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliating Toner?**
A: Start by applying every other day, then increase up to 2x/day as tolerated. Reduce frequency if irritation occurs. Consult a physician before using if you have a salicylate allergy.

**Q: Is the 2% BHA Liquid both an exfoliant and a toner?**
A: Our 2% BHA is an exfoliating toner, meaning it has the lightweight, liquid texture of a hydrating toner, plus the benefits of a chemical exfoliant—which include removing dead skin cells, unclogging pores, and brightening a dull complexion.

**Q: My 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliating Toner smells different. Is it still okay to use?**
A: Yes. You may notice changes in color, texture, or scent due to our fragrance- and dye-free formulas; this is normal. For best results, replace the product after the marked PAO or expiration date as effectiveness may decline after that time.

**Q: Is the 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliating Toner fragrance-free?**
A: Yes, though you may notice a mild, naturally occurring scent due to the product's ingredients.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good
*by D***Y on February 4, 2026*

I really liked this liquid exfoliant. It helps renew the skin without irritating it, leaving my face smoother and feeling deeply cleansed. The texture is light, it applies easily, and absorbs quickly. I've used it regularly and have noticed that it improves the appearance of my skin, helping to remove dead skin cells and allowing other products to absorb better. It doesn't leave a sticky feeling or dry out my skin. It's ideal for combination skin like mine.
