Its important to remember that after putting on the BHA you MUST wait 20-30 minutes before moving on with your routine because if you apply moisture or other products before it fully absorbs the PH levels in the BHA will be altered rendering the active ingredient useless!
@@riz9863 well in my personal experience, i once tried doing it for a few months without letting it set, and I got no results. Now I’m back on it but I wait for it to dry completely and my skin is improving a lot.
@@roi_kyou saved my life I started using Paula’s choice way back but used to put moisturiser straight away but decided to way cause of your comment and my skin feels so smooth and clear thank you!
@@mavi3928 yes , and try to use mainly at night and next day follow your morning skincare routine along with spf 50++. Also don't use it on your damp skin.
Use at night because sun exposure can be harmful while using BHA . But if you want to use it in the morning please wear more than spf 50++. And also never apply BHA on a damp skin. After applying BHA wait for 20-30 minutes and then follow it with hydrating serum and moisturizer.
If you are a beginner use it once a week and slowly you can do it twice a week. After that you can use alternate days. But never use it twice a day, you will over exfoliate your skin and will damage it
@@bree6916*Thank you.* Company and others acted like it was normal to do that. I found it left me very dry with visible sebaceous filaments. This week I just used it for fifteen minutes after evening cleanse and rinsed it off. Wasn't sure if I could use an oil like Juno or squalane afterwards. Bought a mandelic acid to try (after I work out a way to alternate it on different nights with Differin and nothing for the rest). 🤕
Hi, i bought this for the first time and i was a little skeptic because i know its fragrance free but i never expected it to be like clearly no smell at all, and super runny consistency, its almost like water at all. I was just scared i got scammed by the reseller i bought it from? 😢 Or is it just a normal thing on it?
I have a question, I bought paulas Choice aha bha like in the beginning of 2022 and still there's half left. It's written on the bottle that once its opened it'll expire after certain times. So like the acid does not smell funny and the texture is still the same. Is it still usable? I feel bad throwing away the product which is not half finished yet
1 year isnt bad. If your skin is more sensitive, instead of using it on your face, use it on your legs and body. I have a bottle that is 2 years old that worked fine on my legs
Hi I am (28yr old) a beginner and using Paula Choice 2% BHA (blue bottle). Its just 2 day my skin has become red, hot and bumpy. I am literally feeling irritated. It it normal, or I have to consult a doctor. 1st day process (night)- cleansing- Anti redness exfoliating solution (2%salicylic acid) - daily skin clearing treatment (2.5% benzoyl peroxide) 2nd day (morning) - Same as above process and then Sunscreen + light makeup ( foundation) Please help, I am scared, if this is right or not.
i encountered the same with blue Paulas Choice (red, bumpy and hot), i stopped using anything on my face for a week ( no make up, nothing...just washing it with water), and the bumps/roughness disappeared. Perhaps our skin dont like it or it reacted with the other products that we applied ( i used it with cerave moisturizer and Paulas Choice 2% BHA). it got so itchy. Good thing its over now. i dont know if i will have the courage to use that blue one again. i'll stick with PC 2% BHA (gray) Edit: itchiness/redness got worse too on my 2nd time application so i stopped using the blue.
Hey you're literally breaking your skin barrier, these ingredients (benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid) are really strongs!! I don't recommend use the together not even in a short space of time. Or you use one or the other one (per week) and please use a strong moisturizer ( you can put +- 2 layers of moisturizer and put Vaseline to "close" it) you're going to see improvements!! I use the both in my routine, the day i use peroxide i don't use anything else for 2/3 days ( letting my skin recover) and i use a lotttt of moisturizer.
So coincidence my routine is correct before watching this video 😅 Sometimes i double cleanse using the Beauty of Joseon Radiance Cleansing Balm then Simple Micellar Gel cleanser (Panthenol + Glycerin). Then i use the Isntree Green Tea Fresh toner (Hyaluronic Acid + Blueberry Extract). Then the BHA Liquid Exfoliant. Lastly I use Cerave Daily Moisturizing Lotion (Ceramides + Hyaluronic Acid)..

You’re soo authentic!
When should i use this in the morning or night? And once a day or twice a day?

@@3had._5 no pls dont do it twice a day even your skin get used to it, don’t over exfoliate it will damage your skin barrier
@@RiyaSingh-qx2hk thank youuuuuuuuuuu
@@RiyaSingh-qx2hkmy serum requires my face to be damp so can i wet my face after i apply the exfoliant?
hello I have a question. I have uneven skin tone and rough texture which is better ( this paula choice or the ordinary glycolic acid ) i av Oily skin
Please do make a video on ordinary Mandelic acid
Hi, can you leave this on overnight and wash off in the morning once a week?
No, you can't!
It could damage your face.

@@bree6916 what do u do then? Do u leave it on for a Specific amount of time? Do you apply it on dry face or damp?
@@RandomKurd it’s a leave on product. You don’t wash it off idk what that person was talking about 😂
Can we use essence instead of a toner

It’s liquid, so it’s meant to be like that. Mine is :)
Rest assured it sounds legit. You're better off with fragrance free products so there are no added unnecessary chemicals ❤
Is it bad to use it under the eyes?

I know this is 3 months ago but use little bit only and like once a week for dry/sensitive skin. Use barrier repair cream to keep skin healthy.
Yep the same thing happened to me.
I also used the azelaic acid boooster ..”calms redness… “ they said… it burned my face to hell
Is a toner necessary?
Can we please get an affordable minimal night and morning skincare routine please
Should i use spf everyday or only on the days when i put on bha
everyday if you’re leaving the house and spending a considerable amount of time outdoors
