Paula's Choice SKIN PERFECTING 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant is a globally celebrated, non-abrasive daily exfoliating toner formulated to sweep away built-up dead skin cells and decongest pores.

2% Salicylic Acid (BHA): An oil-soluble beta hydroxy acid that gently exfoliates both the skin's surface and inside the pore lining to clear congestion and excess sebum.
Calibrated pH Range: Formulated at an optimal pH of 3.2–3.8 to ensure effective, gentle exfoliation that respects your skin's natural balance.
Green Tea Leaf Extract: Infused with a potent botanical antioxidant that helps calm visible redness and soothe the skin barrier.
Hydrating Humectant Base: Contains Methylpropanediol and Butylene Glycol to boost moisture retention, enhance ingredient absorption, and leave skin looking fresh and dewy.
Non-Abrasive Liquid Formula: Applies effortlessly like a toner with zero harsh scrubbing particles, making it gentle enough for regular use.

How to Use & Routine Tips
Start Gradually: When first introducing this exfoliant, apply once every other day to observe your skin's response, then gradually increase up to once or twice daily as tolerated.
Apply: After cleansing, lightly soak a cotton pad or pour a small amount directly into your fingers and sweep gently over your entire face and neck, avoiding the lower lash line and eyelids.
Leave On: Do not rinse off. Allow the liquid to absorb for a few moments before applying your serums and moisturizer.
Daily Sun Protection: Exfoliating acids can increase your skin's sensitivity to sunlight. Always finish your morning routine with a broad-spectrum sunscreen rated SPF 30 or higher.
Routine Pairing Tip: To protect your skin barrier from over-exfoliation, avoid layering in the same application window with Retinol, Copper Peptides, or other strong direct acids (AHAs/BHAs).
