I read the reviews on the 2% Beta Hydroxy Liquid and I have to say I a bit skeptical that they worked as well as everyone said. I have tried so many products over the last few years, but have not found anything that helped with the breakouts and the extreme oily skin. But I have to say, I can't believe the difference in my skin in just over a week of use of this product. My pores have shrunk dramatically and my skin is not as oily. I use this product and follow it up with the Extra Strength Blemish Fighting Solution. Thanks so much for all your great products and your excellent advice.
—Judy M.
Two raves: 1) I am thrilled with the Constant Color Gel Eyeliner. I am frequently on stage facing hot lights, plus I have oily skin and I sweat. This eyeliner has lasted through everything I've done so far, plus it is easy to apply. 2) I have never used anything that improved my skin like the 2% Beta Hydroxy Acid Liquid. If I want, I can even go without makeup because my skin is so clear. I never dreamed I would be able to say that.
—Virginia G.
Like many others, I absolutely love your 2 percent BHA liquid. It has done wonders for my skin. I have suffered with acne for a long while now, and it has finally cleared up in just several weeks! It also makes my skin look fresh and glowy. A product that takes away blemishes and makes your skin look great is definitely worth a rave! Thank you, and never stop making it!
—Megan
This is the first time that I have ever made a comment on a product! I just felt I had to say something... This stuff is amazing! I had just come back from Zihuatanejo and my face started getting flaky from too much sun exposure. My order for the BHA Liquid had just arrived and it saved my skin! Within two days, all the flakiness was gone! I use this product with the Anti-oxidant concentrate. My skin is smoother and it glows too. Paula, I hope you continue to make those two products forever! Don't ever take them off the market!
—Linda K.
Your All Bases Covered Foundation just lost a customer. But that's only because your 2% BHA Liquid is so amazing! My skin was oily, flaky, blackhead ridden and had red patches and enlarged pores. Now my skin is so clear and smooth, I only need your Sheer Matte Tint ;-) Thank you for creating the closest thing to a miracle product I've seen in this industry.
—LeeAundra T.
I am 61 years old, 20 years past menopause and STILL struggle with acne and blackheads. Needless to say, I have tried many products over the years but your 2% Beta Hydroxy Liquid (and Gel) are the most helpful products I have ever found. My blackheads have really improved and the beta hydroxy liquid removes any flaky skin resulting from my use of benzoyl peroxide. The liquid is a great base for mineral make up which doesn't work well on my bare skin. Your product is unique on the market in that all the other salicylic acid products seem to contain undesirable alcohol.
—Diana C.
2% BHA liquid changed my skin! I can not buy a product like this any where and seriously can not live without it. I panic if I nearly run out and always keep one extra in my cabinet to ensure I never run out. Truly amazing product.
—Brandie D.
Your products are simply the best I have ever encountered. Since my early teens I have struggled with blackheads. In the past 5 years they had gotten worse, spreading from my t-zone to my cheeks and beyond. I would try to squeeze them out which only exacerbated the problem, making my skin red, uneven, and full of pimples. That is until I tried your products. Your little miracle, the 2% BHA solution, has pushed out and dissolved ALL of my blackheads within a month. I saw results immediately. I swear this stuff has taken out 15 years of gunk. I am amazed. Thank you so much!
—Lauren L.
I just wanted to RAVE about the 2% Beta Hydroxy Acid Liquid! I have only been using it for a month now and my skin is amazing! My blackheads on the sides my nose are almost gone and my face is not NEARLY as oily throughout the day when I have used the liquid the night before. I used to have a shiny face by noon everyday and now I don't have any shine almost all day. Thank you so much for this wonderful, affordable product!
—Sarah P.
Dear Paula, I have been using your skin-care products now for about 10 days and what a difference! I have always had super oily, acne-prone skin. I ordered your One Step Face Cleanser and 2% Beta Hydroxy Acid Liquid to work with the Tazorac I'm on. In just this short time, my face is smoother, softer and less oily during the day! Thank you, thank you, thank you! You have earned another loyal fan and lover of your great product. Thanks again and keep up the
good work!
—Kim B.
I have been a fan of yours for years. I have read your books, have seen you on television, and I subscribe to your Beauty Bulletin; it is incredible! I am a 45-year-old woman who has had problem skin for years battling acne and always remaining frustrated with all the products I have tried until I discovered yours. One word to describe them is amazing!!!!! I use your skin care and cosmetics. The 2% beta hydroxy lotions and solutions have cleared my acne!!! I love the Skin Balancing Cleanser; it really cleans the skin without drying it. I am a Canadian customer and even with the exchange on the money and paying duty I still am saving lots of money!! My skin looks great and I get complimented often now!! THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO!!!
—Cindy
I wanted to write to you and share my amazement and gratitude that your products are just what they say they are, and are producing good results for my skin. The 8% Alpha Hydroxy, 2% Beta Hydroxy, and 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide have greatly improved all of my skin, including my problematic chin. Thank you from my heart!
—Kimberly S.
I have been using your products for 2 years now and my skin just keeps getting better. For the past 20 years I have been plagued by rosacea along with thick, oily, large-pored skin which always looked angry. I can't give enough praise to your 1% AND 2% BHA products and your Barely There Sheer Matte Tint SPF 20. I wear these products every single day and couldn't imagine life without them! My friends thought I'd had photo facials the improvement was so dramatic...until I explained to them it was all the result of your skin care program. Thanks once again, your products are awesome!!
—Sharon E.
works great for men
As a guy I felt I had to comment because this product not only improved my skin texture but also solved my longstanding problem with inflammation and ingrown hairs in the neck area after shaving. Prior to that I had seen 2 top notch dermatolgists and none of them were able to offer me any real solution other than "grow your beard out" (no way! plus beard growth made it more painful!) and they didn't even bring up exfoliation with BHA as potential solution for me. I guess they weren't really top notch afterall. Thanks to Paula and the "Beauty Bible" which helped find this product!
—Ziad
A New Face
When I started using this at the age of 35, I still had the pimple problems of a teenager. No more. My pores are smaller, blackheads are practically non-existent, and I don't get those deep painful pimples anymore. Using this product, along with the Skin Balancing Toner, as Paula prescribes in her skin care routines, has given me the skin I always thought was not possible for me. Paula's products are the best on the market.
—Christine Raymond
This is incredible
What everyone says about this product is true. It is the closest thing to a miracle in a bottle that I've ever found!
—Robin Huber
My Favorite Product
2% Beta Hydroxy Acid Liquid has singlehandedly solved nearly all of my adult acne woes. I cannot believe how smooth,soft, and clear my skin is and how even after using it frequently - it still works. Thanks so much!
—Leanne
These products have worked wonders
I have been using your 2% beta hydroxy lotion and extra strength blemish fighting solution for several weeks now and I must say I am completely thrilled. Not only is my skin better than its EVER been, Ive even been able to stop taking birth control to reduce oil. Thank you from the bottom of my heart- and my wallet!
—Caroline
Finally
I am nearly 40 and still plagued by the occasional breakout, especially on my chin. This product is my secret weapon and I wouldn't be without it! There are other BH products on the market, but the majority are not the correct PH and are laden with unnecessary ingredients.
Thanks for another great product, Paula!
—Lisa
No more blackheads
My nose is now completely devoid of blackheads after 28 years! I love your stuff sooooo much!
—Kathleen
2% Beta Hydroxy Liquid
I like 2% Beta Hydroxy Liquid but it does not get rid off black heads at least not mine. I have a T zone which has improved as well as the over all texture of my skin but I still have blackheads and 2% Beta Hydroxy Liquid hasn't helped neither has the gel or AHA's.
2% Beta Hydroxy Liquid doesn't dry out my skin which is great unlike other products. I still really like Paula's products and I hope she'll be around for a long time.

2% BHA Liquid Solution
Living in a humid weather such in M'sia, struggling with a blemish-prone skin, very oily T-Zone during mid day. Been wrongly use for other brand which content high AHA that it's not suitable for my skin type, causing redness & sensitive that previously not! Until I found Paula Choice's website! (Never to late to know about it...)A most effective product from Paula Choice! Just with the 1st application on 2% BHA Liquid Solution & Extra Strength Blemish Fighting Solution, its really amazed me, my skin simply love on it! The result are light-weight & clean feel. I'm gonna share this to all my friends and strongly believe in months to come, a glowing & silky skin that's belong to me!
—Christy
Essential Part of a Solid Paula's Choice Regimen!
I have been using Paula's products for several years now, and have seen lots of improvement in my combination, acne-prone adult skin. Though I still battle acne, my overall skin tone has a luminosity it just never had before. Recently I've found that using this product in combination with the 8% AHA gel, the 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide cream, and the Hydralight moisturizer is a perfect way to implement the program described in the book the Acne Cure. While there is no actual "cure" for acne, using these products in sequence regularly for just a few weeks has led to even more dramatic improvements in my skin. I give it 4 stars because I do find the liquid consistency to be a touch greasy. but since I rinse it off now (to follow with a mini-treatment of the AHA and then, at night, the Blemish Control cream and Hydralight moisture, I don't mind it as much. It's a great product.
—Ruth Ann Lowery
2% BHA Liquid
It's the product I use every day without fail. I will use it forever.. Please please come to the United Kingdom.
—Shelley Kerr
Tina
I'm 44 and have been battling adult acne since I was in my 30's. I've been to many dermatologists who have prescribed Retin A, minocyline, clindomysine, sulfer washes, all of which have had their very undesirable side effects. As Paula recommends to give skins products at least a month to see their results, I have held back to give my review even though I saw positive results almost immediately. Therefore, after 1 month of using her products, Paula has produced some amazing, miraculous skin care products! MY SKIN HAS DONE A COMPLETE TURNAROUND!! My acne scars, blackheads, and commodomes have almost completely diminished. Any hormonal flare ups are immediately calmed and heal very quickly, which has never been the case before. Her products that work for me are her One Step Face Cleanser, Healthy Skin Refreshing Toner, 2% BHA Liquid, Essential Non-greasy Sunscreen, and Blemish Fighting Solution. Paula, I really want to thank you for your continued diligence with developing skin care and makeup products that have not only healed my skin but have helped my self-esteem as well. Again, thank you!!!
—Tina
Simply the Best!
The 2% BHA liquid along with the Blemish Fighting solution have been the only 2 products that have faithfully kept my hormonal breakouts under control. I've tried other products thinking "expensive is better". Well I learned the hard way that what really works is not the price tag but the quality and the ingredients and Paula's Choice is hands down the best! These two products ROCK! They don't dry my skin out and I use them every morning - one right after the other. The BHA sinks right in and the Blemish solution glides right over my skin. I'm even noticing that the little blackheads I have on my chin are starting to clear up and I never found any product in all my years of searching that would even come close to what your products have accomplished in a short period of time. Thank you Paula for bringing us amazing and effective products at affordable prices.
—Claudia
Best BHA
I love this stuff! I use it like a toner after I wash my face. It almost gives it a moisturizing feeling, but I know it's exfoliating and not clogging my pores. Great product!
—Ashley
This is one of my favorite products!
I love this in the liquid form. I tried the gel first and didn't like how it felt underneath makeup. This dries right away and then you can't feel it at all. I have extremely oily skin that is prone to blackheads and acne. This has helped clear up my skin almost over night. I use it once a day and the AHA gel at night.
—Melissa Brackenbury
AMAZING Lumiinosity as a result!!!
This 2% liquid is nothing short of a miracle in a bottle!! I have been using this for only one week, and my skin has a luminosity I have NEVER had! Not even in my 20's and 30's!!! I use this with the Blemish Fighting Soln in trouble spots! I had one huge cystic pimple beginning last week and two other large pimples near it and they are GONE - GONE I tell you! I am past menopause age and have had rosacea and pimples all of my life - and my skin looks more radiant and clear after one week of this soln than ever! The one thing I don't care for - it leaves sort of a shiny, almost oily look to my skin that seems to take a long time to dry. But I just use it before bed rather than in the daytime! The other product I dearly love is the Mattifying Antioxidant Serum and the new Refreshing Toner! You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by trying her products! Please Paula, never stop making these excellent products!
—Cheryl Leui
Works Great on Body Breakouts
I use this with the spray attachment on my chest and back every day with great results. It was too greasy for my face, so I use a different BHA product for my face.
—Kristen
Nothing Else Like It!
This is my absolute, one-of-a-kind, nothing like it product! It's a life and face saver. My skin keeps improving from using it and it's stopped more than one blemish in its tracks. I CANNOT do without it!
—Emily C.
Amazing- and excellent price!
I have adult acne but I also have dry, sensitive skin so I tend to have breakouts and flaky skin. I had found a product that worked on the embarassing flakiness but it was ridiculously expensive so I thought I would try Paula's Beta Hydroxy Acid Liquid and wow, what can I say. No flakiness and absolutely no breakouts!! I am IN LOVE with this product!!! Thank you!
—A Parish
Miracle Product
This is dramatically reducing red marks, brightening, firming my face. thank you for making this.
—David
Bye-Bye, Blackheads!
I inherited large pores from my dad's side of the family, and have consequently always had a problem with blackheads. After using Paula's Choice 2% BHA Liquid, I'm seeing fewer and fewer blackheads, and my pores actually seem to be shrinking! I LOVE the super-easy application of the liquid form of this product. It's going to be in my medicine cabinet FOREVER!
—Kimberly
AMAZING!!!!
THIS LIQUID IS AMAZING!!! I DON'T THINK THAT MY PORES HAVE EVER BEEN THIS CLEAR AND CLEAN...I TRIED THE LOTION VERSION OF THE BHA, BUT LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THE LIQUID SO MUCH BETTER. IT SEEMS TO BE LESS IRRITATING AND MUCH EASIER TO USE TWICE A DAY THAN THE LOTION WAS. SINCE IT LEAVES NO RESIDUE, APPLYING MAKEUP AFTER THE LIQUID IS A BREEZE AND IT LOOKS WONDERFUL. THE LOTION WAS THICKER AND JUST SEEMED TO ADD ANOTHER "LAYER" TO MY REGIMEN!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS LIQUID....MY SKIN HAS NEVER LOOKED SO AMAZING!!! PAULA'S PRODUCTS ARE TRULY TOP NOTCH...GIVE THEM A TRY, I GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. PAULA, PLEASE KEEP THIS PRODUCT (AND ALL OF THE OTHERS) AROUND FOREVER AND I WILL BE FOREVER GRATEFUL!!!!
—lori
The best treatment for acne!
Wow! After coming across Paula's book I started searching the website. As beauty product junkie I have tried just about everything. NOTHING has done for my skin what Paula's products do. The 2% BHA liquid is by far what has made the biggest difference. I have bought almost everything for oily skin now and in the last three weeks have seen more improvement than EVER before. Thank you, thank you thank you!
—Cyndi
This is my favorite product
This is the beauty product I cannot live without. I use this in addition to other Paula's Choice skin-balancing products, and I finally have my horrible adult acne under control. The other anti-acne skin care regimens I have tried were too irritating, but I've used Paula's Choice for over a year now, and I'll never switch to anything else.
I also must add that I'm not happy that the price has gone up, but I understand that is the cost of doing business and that everyone's costs are rising. Still, it would be great if this were offered in a larger size bottle.
—Rosie
Big Difference
Congratulations, this product is excellent. I received today and applied immediately and I can see the difference!
I wasted money and time on useless and irritating products with no results at all.
I have a combo skin, and this exfoliator leaves my skin soft, with a even tone and my pores look smaller too!!
Again, thank you, thank you, thank you!
—Esteban
UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!
I have tried BHA's (Salycidic acid) products in the past, but everytime my skin got extremely irritated (like a chemical burn). Being in my 30's and having blemish prone skin, I have read BHA is really good but couldn't use it. I Use your products and love them, have trusted you for over a decade. So, I finally purchased your brand. UNBELIEVABLE!! No irriation! Just RESULTS! Clear skin, smaller pores, all the promises of BHA without the irritation. THANKYOU PAULA!
—Corina Dibisch

No more blackheads!
I had stubborn blackheads on my chin for over a year and tried Clinique, Neutrogena & everything in-between. This cleared them in a less than 2 weeks.
—Alison Voita
My Secret Weapon
The 2% BHA liquid is my secret weapon for clear skin and smaller pores. No one believes me when I say I am blemish prone with an oily T-zone. If I had a dollar for every great skin complement I've received, I'd never have to pay for this out of pocket again! This is my skincare cornerstone :)
—Katina
THE solution
My 'all of the sudden' acne problem after 23 yrs of clear skin made me panic. i tried EVERYTHING! my last choice was a visit to the derm until i tried the sample of 2% bha. AMAZING! Please try this and be patient with it (although you'll see FAST results) oh.. 1 mistake i made was that i rubbed the liquid into my face (i used alot thinking that will help) but it only irritated my skin. just put some on the cotton ball and put a thin layer. it will not work faster because you put more on.. good luck
—anna
It Really is Amazing
I have been using this product for years. My skin changed dramatically--my pores were minimized and most importantly, the texture improved along with the redness. I am almost 45 now and I can't live without it. The anti irritants help keep my skin from getting too dry. I wish I would have had this product when I was a teenager as it really would have helped me. Try it, it works!
—Joni
Relieved and Pleased
I've always suffered from acne prone skin but it was never very bad, and when it did get bad - I used one of the more advertised and pricey monthly mail order treatments. It worked and I was happily under control for about 5 years, never having to wear makeup. When I turned 27 something seemed to change and I suddenly started getting bad adult acne. It felt incredibly frustrating and embarrassing. Prescriptions the dermatologist gave me made my acne even worse (which it's supposed to do...for 6 weeks, but how could I face going to work everyday with an even worse face for 6 weeks?). I tried the 2% BH liquid and blemish fighting solution after reading it about it on someone's blog. I didn't have high hopes since all the ingredients are the same as the other things I'd tried, but the pH balance approach seemed worth a shot. I've never left a review for anything - but I feel the need to now :) Thank you for making such a great product. After a couple of weeks, I feel like my face is under control again. I have dark spots left from my "battle", but I'm very optimistic that they'll fade back in time. Very happy with this product.
—Jeanette
Yet another let down
I'm so disappointed in this product, I held my tongue for 2 months to be fair, but my skin is still blemish ridden. This product also made my skin ultra sensitive and my hope for regaing my self confidence was, once again, shattered. Thank you Paula for another let down and another 2 months of hopefully expecting pretty skin down the drain! Now for the next failure so I can get on with it already.

Beta Hydroxy pads
Cautiously optimistic about this.. been using it for almost a full bottle's worth and my rosacea hasn't (hope this doesn't jinx me)screeched out with any objections as of yet.
—Nan
Finally Got it Right
At first, this worked somewhat, but I still had blackheads. Then I read one of Paula's letters in which she recommended waiting before applying moisturizer because they work differently in the skin. I apply it, then brush my teeth and do a few other things, waiting at least 3-4 minutes before I put on the rest of my makeup. My t-zone is now 95% clear; the other day my husband told me I was getting prettier. I still breakout a bit - it's hormonal - but the pimples do not last as long for the most part.
—Ann
Great Product!
I love this product! It has done more for the stubborn blackheads on my nose in just a few days of use than any other product!
—Lisa
Never buy this product
I was miserably disappointed when an imprudent relative told me my skin looked splotchy and irritated after 1 month of using this product. Paula never mentioned anything about how this product could make your acne 100,000 times worse and leave you there to pick up the pieces. There is a " purging" phase that is horrendous, but then it never improves! If you have fair skin that has a tendency to be oily, don't ever use this! My skin has NEVER been worse.

not for me
This product caused my skin to breakout horribly. I appreciate the return policy since this will definitely be going back.

A magic liquid for face
I have sensitive combination skin with whiteheads on my nose. This liquid works perfectly for my skin. Now my face becomes so smooth to touch and no more whiteheads on nose!! I tried to stop using it for a week, then whiteheads are back, and when i start using it again, they are all gone within 2 days. Plus the pores are smaller and clear! So it must be this magic liquid. I just ordered another 3 bottles. Thanks Paula.
—Cecily
Works great
This stuff is the best I have tried from Paula's Choice. It has cleared up my skin better than any other product I have tried. It did take a few weeks to really see results, but with perseverance it really made a difference. I am very happy my skin is as clear as it is. It was not at all irritating to my skin, and I have very fair skin. I am dissappointed that the products are getting more and more expensive. Thanks so much Paula's Choice.
—Alanna Noland
Substantially reduced my acne!
I used to have moderate-severe acne and your 2% liquid and 5% extra strength blemish fighting solution greatly reduced my acne! I did break out horribly as my skin was reacting to the medications in the first few weeks but after 2 months now, my skin is 96% clearer! My skin tone is a lot smoother and I no longer need to wear so much powder to cover up my acne and acne scars. I'm so happy I don't have severe acne anymore. Thank you, Paula. You've changed my life!
—Patricia
Wow!
I have mild Rosacea and was unable to use BHA or AHA acids without severe flushing until I found Paula's. Quite gentle and effective. Although some dermatologists don't recommend using these types of acids on Rosacea, I've actually noticed a marked improvement in my condition as a result of this product!
—K.M. Duncan
BHA 2% Liquid
I have to admit I only bought the BHA liquid because the lotion I usually use wasn't available. I'm a convert! The liquid absorbs so easily and works much better for my skin.
—Catherine
Too Strong for Me?
I have oily, acne-prone skin. While the 2% BHA Liquid has helped my skin some, I think it might be too strong for me. EVERY TIME I use this stuff, my face peels. I just don't feel comfortable walking around with my makeup peeling off my face. Also, contrary to the claim in the description of this item, I feel the liquid takes FOREVER to absorb into my skin. I'm not ready to give up on BHA because I do see some benefits from it, so I'm going to try the 1% gel or lotion and see how that works better for me.
—Sarah
Awsome Stuff!!
This has really helped with my acne. I only get occasoinal pimples now and it just makes my skin look and feel so much better however it did not get rid of all of my blackheads and that was a little disappionting but it is probably just how my skin is not the product. I've had blackheads on my nose and whiteheads on the crease of my chin for as long as I can remember.
—Crystal
Thank the heavens
Why o why did I wait to get this? Weekly facials always make my acne prone skin feel great but this is daily facial in bottle. Instant results, I love love love this stuff
—lorraine
Sample was not the same
I had ordered several samples to try various products before placing an order for full size products. After ordering this in the full size and using for a few days my skin became over exfoliated, red and rashy. I then saw that the current ingredients were not the same as the sample I had been sent. After comparing the ingredients of other samples with the full size versions in my order I found others that didn't match. I had pleasant results with the samples, but not with the full size versions of products where the ingredients weren't the same.

Superior to the gel BHA for oil skin
After watching Paula's video, I switched from the gel to the liquid and have experienced much better results.
—Stella
works on pores
Its been a week since I started using this at night with my fingers. My pores on my nose are much smaller the next day, and much less oily than before. Its gentle, does not sting. I hope it continues to work. Before, I could see "puddles" of oil in my nose pores, not any more. Like I said, use your fingers to apply, otherwise you waste 90% of the bottle.
—Brett
genius
the best u can do for ur oily face!..its a genius
—sara
Controls acne, but not that pleasant to use.
I have have been using the 2% BHA liquid for about 6 months. I do believe the salicylic acid works well to keep acne pimples at bay except for the occasional menstrual breakout. I think it has evened my skintone a bit too. However, I have noticed no visual improvement in blackheads - they are still there and pores are still visibly clogged, though thankfully pimples are rare now. Furthermore, the product makes my skin peel if I use it several days in a row (I do not use anything else that would cause this, no retinA, no benzoyl). I am trying the lotion formulation next to see if that improves my experience. Furthermore, I dont like the liquid formula at all. It is runny and runs everywhere coming out of the bottle and all over your hand if you try to apply with your fingers. If you apply with a cotton pad or swab, you waste too much product. No win there. Finally, it dries very sticky! A big no-no, that, since my main reason for trying liquid instead of lotion first was to avoid stickiness. This does not absorb anywhere near as well as the packaging suggests.
—L
what a Godsend for my face...
I do not know what I would do if I didn't have the 2% BHA liquid! I have tried Retin-A (which tore up my sensitive skin), Duac, ClindaGel, Proactiv, Clean and Clear, Neutrogena, BenzaClin, everything for my acne. Nothing, NOTHING works as good as this stuff. I pair it with the Skin Balancing Toner and the PC benzoyl peroxide Blemish treatment at night. My acne started noticeably clearing up the very next morning. I no longer wear foundation or any base; I simply put on SPF in the morning and touch up with powder when I get oily. This stuff will not disappoint you! It makes me feel so much better about my face. What a great product!
—Ashley
Will dramatically help oily/breakout prone skin
I have had acne and very oily skin for most of my teenage years and into my early 20's. I tried every acne product I could find from drugstore brands, to Proactiv and other similar lines, to the more expensive products. I could never find anything that would help and I was starting to scar in places. I stumbled upon Paula's products and after 2 months (yes, it does take time like any other acne treatment) I have had probably just 2 pimples in over 3 months, and they went away very quickly. I used to have new breakouts almost every day including cystic acne. I am positive that it was her line that helped me, especially her BHA liquid. It just keeps everything un-clogged and clear. Most definitely one of her best products!

Great Product
I have Rosacea, with sensitive skin. I have tried many products both prescription and OTC and usually have a reaction. I sent for samples of this product since the AHA's seem to irritate my skin. I was amazed! I was able to use this one without a negative reaction and my Rosacea has been under control! Thank you! Please suggest this one, also, for those with Rosacea.

Love this product
Within days of using the 2% BHA liquid I felt a difference in my skin. It is much smoother, less oily, and I'm not breaking-out like I was prior to using it. My daily routine consists of using it in the morning and at night. I put it on, let it dry for about 10-15 minutes, put on benzoyl peroxide, let it dry for 10-15 minutes, and then moisturize with a little bit of Cetaphil (w/ spf 15) and jojoba oil. My skin is radiant! I used to the the 8% AHA and did NOT experience these results. I am very thankful for this product and would encourage other acne sufferers (especially those with oily skin) to try it. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because sometimes my face peels (mainly on my chin and above my mouth) and that gets a tad annoying. However, this is still a GREAT product!

Best Stuff on Earth
This product is the best I have ever used. I have had severe to moderate acne my whole life. I was desperate to find a product that would help clear up my skin problems. I almost resorted to using Accutane. This did the trick! Thank you so much!!!
