If you’re not familiar with Paula’s Choice products, do yourself a favor and check out the website. Paula Begoun made a name for herself investigating beauty & skin care products, first with books and then with the website beautypedia (now sadly defunct). She looks at what is actually in products and whether those ingredients, in amounts given, have been shown through studies to be effective. Her work clued me in that it’s not about price and glamour, it’s about effectiveness. This BHA liquid is one of her best sellers. (I purchase PC products on Amazon only when I have a gift card.) I use BHA weekly on body and biweekly on face. If you struggle with breakouts, it can be used every day. It’s a great exfoliant.

This stuff is changing my skin. Without a doubt. I had initially thought maybe I was seeing things or experiencing wishful thinking. I thought it was working but was just waiting for it to stop working as all other products seem to do one my skin adapts. I can truthfully say my skin is better each week. The nose blackheads are just gone. I mean I can see it’s not perfect but it’s such a difference I’m just so happy. But here’s the thing I didn’t expect. I have those tiny skin-colored bumps under my eyes near my nose. I guess they are milia or just the skin texture. Can’t feel them but when I’m up close to other people like my husband they are non-existent. I use all sorts of fancy, doctor prescribed, skin care and have for years. Nothing touched them AND I think they were getting worse with age. I was looking in the car mirror today in the bright daylight and they are pretty much gone. I was shocked bc I’d stopped thinking about them since I was told the texture of my skin was just what it was. Also all the little bumps of clogged skin are gone as well. I used to have them removed by a dermatologist. The change is so significant I had to update my review. I’m really so thrilled. Just be careful around the eyes so you don’t get any IN the eye. Hopefully that goes without saying 😉
For almost 40 years I have struggled with blackheads on my nose. I have tried everything. Things will work initially but then my nose pores fight back and I go back to square one. Retin-A, vitamin C, differin gel, benzoyl peroxide, biore strips, clay masks, peels, needling, and on an on. I saw another Amazon review with a picture of my nose. Well it wasn’t my nose but it could have been. I figured this product was so inexpensive why not try it and add it to my list of failures. Well I think it’s working! It is so thin at first I thought this isn’t going to do anything; it’s like water. But I tried it at night and woke up with a better clarity on my schnoz. I’ve been to this dance before, though, so I didn’t get excited yet. It has been a few weeks and I’m still really thinking it works. My nose is about 80% better so I’ll take it!
I don’t have any issue with pilling. I put it on in the morning before I even have my coffee. By the time I put on face cream and makeup the serum is totally absorbed.

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.
