    Product Rating:   (13 reviews) Very good product!
    Absorbs perfectly and pretty quickly without leaving an annoying film, and doe exactly what it is supposed to do. My blackheads are lighter and dissappearing and my skin is clearing up when used alongside the PC Blemish fighting solution

    This product is terrific! The redness and bumps on my cheeks disappeared within a week and friends tell me they're envious of my healthy looking skin. I'm so happy with my new, clear and glowing skin. Don't hesitate to try this wonderful stuff!

    GENTLE BUT EFFECTIVE
    no other bha product i've tried works as well as this. no more breakouts and very gentle - paula's products are superior.

    I can already see the difference
    I am slowly trying to wean myself off of ProActiv and switch to Paula's Choice products. I started using just the 1% BHA lotion about 3 weeks ago to see how my skin could handle it, and it has been great. My complexion already looks more even and toned, and my makeup seems to look better too as it does not seem to sink into my pores so much. Thank you Paula!

    It's Just Okay
    My skin still gets embarrassingly flaky with this lotion exfoliant. For such an expensive product, I expected more. Even the packaging is unsatisfactory; I accidentally dropped the tube from a metre high height, and the lid somehow snapped and broke right off. I don't even know how that happened, the lid was snapped shut... the packaging could be better.

    Satisfactory
    This product is OKAY. Not the greatest. Packaging is kind of cheap for such an expensive product. You don't get a lot either. Sort of works. Sort of doesn't. Better off with the 2% BHA.

    essential
    I've been using 2.5% benzoyl peroxide gel for years, and it has helped with really bad breakouts, but my skin hasn't exactly been clear. After only a few days of using Paula's 1% BHA I can finally leave the house without makeup! My skin tone hasn't been this even since I was 13. The lotion is really silky. I might try the 2%BHA lotion when it's back in stock.

    not that great
    I have been using this product as directed as well as the blemish fighting solution and have noticed that my skin is much smoother. As far as getting rid of blackheads on my nose I have noticed no real change and my monthly breakout which is the same spot every month still occurs even while making sure I apply product to that area. I'm going to finish the product because its too expensive to just throw away and maybe my blackheads will clear up by then. We'll see.

    1% BHA
    I used a sample and I love it. It absorbs quickly and I've noticed a change in my complexion. *(good way). I would definitely recommend 1% BHA to anyone and I am definitely planning on using this product as part of my daily regime.
    —Nav

    Wow!!!
    This is so far the best skin care product I've ever used! After applying it the first time, I could see a difference the next morning, and I rarely see such a difference when I use other brands. My skin got so much smoother and makeup looks much better on it. I will order the full size, and buy Paula's exfoliating product for my mom as well. Thank you so much!
    —Chau

    Don't ever reformulate this gem!
    This is an amazing product. It absorbs very well, and doesn't leave a sticky/goopy film on my skin (like your 2% gel does). I use it 3 or 4 times a week at night, and my skin looks great the next morning. I also use it on occasional breakouts to tone down the redness. Paula, please don't ever re-formulate this product!
    —Diana

    Not bad
    So far no irritation whatsoever but feel itchy sometime. Mainly around the nose. I still got blackhead around Tzone area. Not as bad as before but at least I don't need to extract it so often like I used to.
    —Sisilia

    Like the product, hate the packaging
    Love the product, works well for my combination skin...But the packaging leaves so much to be desired like some of her other products. Sometimes difficult to get out and the printing easily flakes off on my fingertips - sorry don't want to put the ink on the my skin. The previous plastic bottles used by Paula's Choice a few years ago were so much better. This bottle also easily dents.
