Exfoliating is like flossing — we know we’re supposed to do it for health and hygiene, but we always dread the discomfort that follows. Most exfoliants cause Us to break out more, exacerbating the issue! But there is one exfoliant out there that is gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin: Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Salicylic Acid Exfoliant.
This cult-favorite toner unclogs pores, reduces wrinkles and evens skin tone. According to a clinical study, 91% of participants had noticeably healthier skin after using this product for a month.
In the last two years alone, the Paula’s Choice exfoliant has received awards from Today, Allure, Prevention, Harper’s Bazaar, InStyle, Glamour and Cosmopolitan. Not too shabby! And this bestselling beauty product has also received the seal of approval from so many of our favorite stars, including supermodels with near-flawless complexions.
