How to use
Using Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Salicylic Acid Exfoliant is straightforward, but following the right steps can help you achieve the best results while minimizing any potential irritation. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use it:
Step-by-Step Guide
-
Cleanse Your Face: Start by washing your face with a gentle cleanser. This will remove any dirt, oil, and makeup, ensuring that the exfoliant can penetrate effectively.
-
Pat Dry: Gently pat your face dry with a clean towel. Your skin should be dry before applying the exfoliant.
-
Apply the Exfoliant:
- Pour a small amount of the exfoliant onto a cotton pad. You don't need much; just enough to cover your face.
- Sweep the cotton pad over your face, focusing on areas with blackheads and enlarged pores. Avoid the eye area.
-
Let It Absorb: Allow the product to absorb into your skin. There's no need to rinse it off.
-
Follow with Moisturizer: After the exfoliant has dried (usually within a few minutes), apply your usual moisturizer. This helps to keep your skin hydrated and can minimize potential dryness or irritation from the exfoliant.
Frequency of Use
-
Start Slowly: If you are new to BHA exfoliants, start by using it once every other day. This allows your skin to get used to the product.
-
Increase Frequency: If your skin tolerates it well, you can gradually increase to using it once daily. Some people with more resilient skin may even use it twice daily (morning and night), but this is less common.
Additional Tips
-
Sun Protection: Always wear sunscreen during the day, especially when using exfoliants, as they can make your skin more sensitive to the sun.
-
Patch Test: If you have sensitive skin, do a patch test first. Apply a small amount to a discreet area and wait 24 hours to see if any irritation occurs.
-
Avoid Over-Exfoliating: Don’t use other exfoliants (like scrubs or other acid-based products) on the same days you use the BHA to avoid over-exfoliating your skin.
Benefits
Regular use of Paula's Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant can help:

By following these steps and incorporating the exfoliant into your routine gradually, you can effectively address blackheads and enlarged pores while keeping your skin healthy and balanced.
