CLEAR Anti-Redness Exfoliating Solution

This is one of the best exfoliants I’ve ever used! I struggle with breakouts and redness, and this product has made such a noticeable difference. The 2% BHA helps keep my pores clear and smooth without being harsh or irritating. It feels lightweight, almost like water, and sinks right into the skin without leaving any sticky residue. I use it a few times a week, and it keeps my skin clearer, calmer, and with less redness. My breakouts heal faster and new ones don’t pop up as often. It’s gentle enough for daily use if needed, and I love that it doesn’t dry out my skin. Definitely a must-have in my skincare routine!

If you're a girl sick of having clogged, acne-constant, oily skin and you feel like you've tried every product on the market and you feel like you're doing everything right but your skin still looks horrible... Get. This. Product. Worth every penny. Oh, and results are fast. Know that lathering your face in it will hurt your skin barrier and freak your skin out, so dont do that. But I use this morning and night right after cleansing. I use just a few drops on a cotton pad and swipe it across my acne problem areas. Clears up breakouts like nothing else and my skin is glowy for the first time in my life. I never realized how much of my skin troubles were based on a texture, not just acne, until I started using this product! Clogged pores got nothing on me now that I've got this!

I am almost 60 and about a year ago I started getting pretty bad acne. I tried so many products. I read up on everything I could. Nothing helped. I bought this product and after 3 days, my face cleared up! It's just unbelievable. I only use it once a day because it does dry out my skin a little. But I am just amazed at how quickly it worked. I normally do not do reviews but I was so impressed with this product that I felt I had to leave a review on it. I will be using this from now on.

IMPORTANT: I'm 34, male, had very bad oil and acne in my late teens and early twenties. In my late twenties till today, my skin is pretty much fine (especially compared to early years). However, there was always an issue with enlarged/clogged pores, the right amount of moisture, redness, etc. The large pimples were largely a thing of the past, and while I realized that less is more, I still wondered if there were a product that would improve my complexion. I read that salicylic acid was THE thing for pores and redness, but I was like "well i tried it in face washes and exfoliators and it didn't improve things much and made my skin too sensitive". However, I read on some blog that salicylic acid in face washes is largely rubbish, because it is truly and only effective if it stays ON the skin. That blog recommended different products, some of them quite expensive, and listed as a cost effective option....Paula's Choice...this product right here. The bottle lasts a long time. For me, over six months. That makes it very cheap despite what I considered a hefty price tag up front of $25. I use it almost twice a day. And it helps a lot. It helps my skin retain a "after washing and moisturizing" look long after the cleansing has been done. It really helps the overall balance - not getting too oily, not as clogged, and without the harshness of other things I've tried in the past. I use a very gentle face wash (Cetophil, Simple) or even bar soap if I'm out, and a light moisturizer after. I keep everything else non-strict, light, simple. But this product is the one thing I'd say really helps. I couldn't recommend it as an acne cure because I never tried it during those times. I couldn't recommend it as step X of a Y step process, because it isn't my experience. But for those who want to even out their complexion, reduce clogging, and are afraid of harsh things that could make things worse...I encourage you to try this specific product.

This stuff is AMAZING. I use it with the Skin Balancing Oil-Reducing Cleanser and my really sensitive skin isn't irritated by it. Physical/abrasive exfoliants (including my Clarisonic w/ a sensitive skin brush and less expensive knock-offs) leave me with red patchy skin… I do use my brush a of couple times a week at night but with this, I don't have the same kind of flaky skin even in the dry winters. My flaky/ oily/dry/blotchyskin that was constantly broken out, I had a breakout that wouldn't clear up for over a month in the same spot & bumpy skin texture and horrible blackheads have cleared up. It's also lightened old acne scars. I’ve tried tons of other products before this. New things, things I used in the past that have cleared my skin up when I was in my teens and early-mid 20s all w/o luck. I’ve been hearing about this stuff for a few years now in skincare groups and it gets great reviews so I decided to give it a shot. I'm glad I did finally. I'm super protective of my bottles of this. Worth the extra bit of money. I spent so much more looking for something that would work until finding this. The 4 stars isn't a problem w/ the product. My problem is the bottle it’s in. I went out of town the day after I got it, so the bottle was basically full when I packed it. I could tell it leaking was going to be an issue if I didn’t tape it up. Both on the way to where I went and for my return flight, I duct taped it so much that getting it off took about 10 minutes. I made a seal inside the lid, taped every gap from the bottle to the cap, taped the cap shut, etc., and it STILL leaked. Before I left for my return flight, I had 2/3 bottle left. Got home, unpacked, I’m at 1/2 bottle or slightly less. I’m pretty irritated to have spent a going amount of money for it and then travel, tape it so there’s no way it should leak, but in a 5 days I have 1/2 bottle left because of it. It may work awesome but I’m sure there’s other products that do and don’t leak all over. I’ll post a picture of how much I taped it and it still leaked. (Edited to add stars because I love the product, it's one of the few things that keeps my skin clear — just beware when you travel & buy an empty travel size bottle & fill that up and pack it instead. I travel pretty often so I needed a solution, that works great. 🙂 Still rating 4/5 because of the bottle.)

i've been eyeing Paula's Choice BHA products for months now and could never justify spending $20+ on a toner/acne treatment, even if my skin was acting up as much as it has been. i took the plunge a few days ago and ordered this extra strength BHA treatment to help combat my moderate comedonal acne (mostly nasty whiteheads covering my jawline ): ) that even the best makeup couldn't hide. i received this product saturday evening and immediately cleansed my skin and applied, it felt a little greasy, but i read that this feeling is just due to the helpful penetrating ingredients, so i wasn't worried. it almost instantly started to reduce redness of my existing enflamed acne and scars, and the next morning i noticed a few less comedones and that my pores were a bit smaller/clearer. each time i've used it, my skin had gotten better, and it has not yet dried out my skin, even with twice daily use. in fact, my skin feels hydrated and not tight at all after i use this. this morning was the 6th time i've used this since receiving it, and i noticed something seriously amazing (and maybe a little gross) -- after cleansing, as i wiped this BHA across my skin with a cotton round, comedones started popping out of my pores and clinging to my cotton! i've never seen this with any toner or treatment i've used in the past. i almost cried. i have been so sensitive about my skin over the last few years, being a college student and nearly full-time server. i see so many people daily, and it's really been a struggle trying to keep my skin under control, that is, until now. i will caution you though, that this has brought a few breakouts to the surface of my skin, but is working to clear them quickly while reducing redness, itchiness, and soreness of both the new breakouts and every one of my existing breakouts. if you're iffy about the price of the PC products, i say don't be -- they are completely, 100% worth it.

I love using Paula’s Choice products. The solution is a great addition to my routine after using the facial soap. My face stays acne free and I can tell my pores are clearing ip

I've purchased this 30 times over the years and have hated that I needed it and have always wanted to change to something else for adult acne (I'm 40 and have oily and sensitive skin). All of the 'acids' and harsh cleansers I've been steadily getting away from (including the organic/natural ones). When I use this on my face, I have more oil production and my face feels dry. I will wake up the next day with red hive like pimples on my cheeks and chin, that itch. Then over time I'll get a build up underneath the surface, like pimples that haven't surfaced yet and my skin looks congested. I hate that I've used this over the years with nothing else that could be better and healthier. But changing products takes a lot of time and money. I've finally moved away from using this on my face, I think I've found something else to replace it. And now that I have my face figured out, my body is a whole other issue...I still use this, but on my chest only. So, 3 stars for that, I guess.

Amazing delivery. Good original product.. Thank u seller.
