- Sharing my thought on the Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant and whether it is deserving of the hype its getting. How to use salicylic acid in your skincare routine.
Hey guys and welcome back to Mad About Skin where todays video is a Paula's Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant review, with me sharing my thoughts on what has to be one of the most talked about and hyped products in skincare.
The Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant is a cult salicylic acid toner which is claimed to help tackle hyperpigmentation, smooth the skin, reduce breakouts and minimise acne scarring. Packed full of salicylic acid, green tea antioxidants and hydrators, this product is often called the best exfoliator for dry or sensitive skin, but is this really the case.
In this video I break down and review the Paula's Choice BHA Liquid to help you work out whether its right for your skin type, budget and skincare routine. I will also be sharing my Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant before and after experience on my own skin.
I would love to know what your thoughts are on the paulas choice BHA and what results you got when you used it in your skin care routine so please leave me a comment below.
If you enjoyed this video and would like to see more single product reviews then please give it a big like and a thumbs up to let me know.

Hey guys and welcome to todays video where we are talking the PC BHA Liquid Exfoliator and everything you need to know about the product.. I would love to know your thoughts and feelings so please let me know in the comments section below.. Love you all so much xxxxxx
I think people just confused the PC BHA liquid exfoliator with the PC RESIST Daily Pore-Refining Treatment With 2% BHA. They're both similar but the RESIST one has more antioxidant as the RESIST range is targeting slightly mature skin.
This product is fantastic! It clears the pores on my nose (no more obvious filaments)!
I don't really like to exaggerate about skincare products but this product omg!....
I was in a dark place before discovering this product, it really helped my skin being extremely dry ance prone by gently exfoliating without any signs of dryness, I hope Unilever won't mess up this holygrail because I can't live without it at this stage lol😅
Thanks Rob! That’s great the formula wasn’t changed. I used PC bha for years in my 30s & highly recommend. I grew (older drier, no more pimple issues happily) out of it! Too bad prices sky rocketed so much, the reason I don’t even consider her anymore.
I first discovered this back in the late 1990s, when Paula's Choice was known as Cosmetics Cop, and they had a paper catalog. At that time, Paula was the only company that used BHA for skin care, and almost the only company that talked about chemical exfoliation or anti-oxidants.
If the current pH is 5.5, it's been reformulated since then. It was also $15 a bottle, and you could get liquid, gel or lotion versions.
As I don't have oily acne prone skin, I rarely used this, except it worked nicely on my KP. But when I ran low, PC came out with better products for me. And since they were first purchased, I've moved away from the brand completely.
Phew! After 20 years of battling acne on my chin PC BHA has done what no other product (inc prescription Differin and Duac [antibiotics & benzoyl peroxide]) has done. I rarely now have any spots on my chin.
It’s been a life changer for me.
NB I use it twice a day without problem. About twice a week I use Differin on top of the PC BHA
I love this product, although I have the light blue one, Resist Anti-Aging 2% BHA Exfoliant. I find it really good for breakouts and also doesn't dry out my skin.
Does it leave the same greasy feeling?
@@rachelnail4622 My skin is dry so I never found it greasy
@@rachelnail4622 I have the blue (resist anti-aging) too, and a combination skin, on me it’s watery and non greasy at all, it absorbs very well and quick 👍
@@rachelnail4622 I can also confirm... The light blue one, Resist Anti-Aging 2% BHA Exfoliant is not even the slightest bit oily. It is just like putting water on your face. I love it!
Thanks for this I brought sample bottle and was deciding whether to get the big one.
I haven't really noticed any change, so now I'm jogging on to see what others you recommend. I'm clueless about all this but I was 50 last week so thought I'd better start doing something to prevent the old wrinklys setting in 😱☮❤👍
Their website says the pH is 3.2-3.8 ... where are u getting 4.5?
Yes, I just confirmed on their website that the pH range is 3.2-3.8
I've used this for years and years..absolutely a holy grail for me I'm never without it!
Thank you so much for sharing and sending you lots of love xxxxx
Hi Rob this one is actually too strong for my skin and I use the more gel textured calm 1% BHA from PC. It's like a serum and I can apply it only in targeted areas (liquids are much harder to control). I have very dry, super sensitive, rosacea and eczema prone skin - so for me once a week is usually enough to keep the pores clear. I use prescription azelaic acid and a retinaldehyde during the week on alternate nights, so this is just a once a week booster for me. The 30ml travel size at about £10 has lasted me well over 6 months, so it is affordable if you consider it as a serum. Before I went onto prescription azelaic acid I used it twice a week - it kept my pores clear despite all the oils and heavy moisturisers I use as I'm so dry. Best wishes.
I’d suggest to use it on certain parts of face, where it can be very effective. Where I have mild Rosacea (on cheeks, near nose), I found it very irritating! On dry areas, on sides of my face & around eyes, I found it very drying. But to use on nose for blackheads? It’s OK & had some effect. Also, I’ve found it very effective to use in a targeted way to treat acne. Would I rub it all over my face every day? Eek, no way!!!! I use it very rarely now, using Lactic instead.
Thank you for your great review. How would you say this (PC) compares for the yttp mandelic acid aha, bha & pha toner?
Because I have super oily acne prone skin. I prefer to use Paula's Choice Resist Anti-Aging 2% BHA Exfoliant. Or like it actually says in the UK on the front of the bottle: Daily Pore-Refining Treatment 2% BHA. It's... 100% Not Oily! It's just like putting water on your face. And works like a dream at killing acne.
Sure there hasn‘t been a reformulation? On my old bottle it says : Water, Methylpropanediol, Butylene Glycol, Salicylic Acid, Polysorbate 20, Grean Tea Leaf extract, Sodium Hydroxide, Tetrasodium EDTA [r017/il20v1]
The new one says : Water, Methylpropanediol, Butylene Glycol, Salicylic Acid, Polysorbate 20, Grean Tea Leaf extract, Tetrasodium EDTA, Sodium Hydroxide, Phenoxyethanol. [eu2/il20v2]
The old had 8 ingredients, the new one has 9 ingredients. And the 9th one is Phenoxyethanol…
Edit : The old one was bought in the PC online shop. The new one was bought directly here in Luxembourg.
I have very oily, dehydrated and sensitive skin. I have tried for a year and throughout four seasons to get on with it. Every use results in bright red skin and breakouts. I guess I kept trying because everyone keeps praising this. Actually, I find TIL salicylic acid wash gives me better results without the irritation.
Amazing that is hydrating. I always have issues with getting too dry almost immediately or start breaking out again with a BHA. All good info! I find this particular BHA not the right formulation for my skin.
I've never used a leave on salicylic acid before. Is there anything you shouldn't layer over it? Same guidance as other acids?
I watch a lot of beauty videos, and I have heard nothing but great reviews on this product. Although it is out of my price range. I use the Good Molecules Overnight Exfoliating Treatment to take advantage of an acid blend, and have had great results from it. I only need to use this product 3 times a week or so, depending on how my skin is doing!
I'm so sorry to have missed the livestream today. We have a flu bug at our house, and are slowly recovering from it🤒 I hope you have a wonderful week, Rob!! ❤❤❤
They have a mini version that's alot cheaper. Mine has lasted months
@@parisinthe30sx Thank you! I have actually heard this before, so it's good to know it's true! And this does sound like a product that is well worth the money!
Oh gosh Patti i am so sorry to hear you guys are not well.. We missed you on the live but the main thing is to stay warm and hydrated and i am sending so much get well soon love and hugs.. Love you xxxxx
@@MadAboutSkin ❤❤❤
I have dry and resilient skin. My pores get clogged up sometimes so I Iike to periodically use a BHA toner. I found that this was not a potent enough toner for me. I also found this to be too greasy. Because I have dry skin, I have a dry-skin routine already set. I expect my exfoliant toners to be light so I can keep the other steps in the routine like a moisturizing serum and cream. Paula’s BHA is hard to fit into my preexisting dry skin routine. My pores ended up clogging up more and it was hard to adjust my entire routine only when I wanted to use this product. Ended up throwing it out the other day after trying it out for half a year.
If they reformulate this product they can kiss 50% of their revenue goodbye!😆
I've tried other BHAs out of curiosity, but nothing works as well as this PC product! It's ✨unreal✨ how much this one product improved my skin!❤️
Ive felt that way for years but girl, try the " peach slices bha toner" AND ITS AMAZING AND I SWEAR SUCH A DUPE. Half the price and has way more benefiting ingredients
Yay I am so so glad its working so so well for you.. I hope all is amazing with you and sending you lots of love xxxxx
Accurate. This is their hero product to be sure
Can you compare it with geek and gorgeous salicylic acid?
the price isn't that bad. Remember it's 4 floz or ~120ml for ~$32 on Amazon and I believe can be had cheaper.
Consider that the Ordinary 2% SA (original formula) would cost you $23.60 as a "budget" brand and lacks certain additions in the Paula's Choice.
I really want to try the PC 4% bha and the 2% gel bha instead of the liquid. The liquid just makes my face greasy and doesn't seem to do anything
Thank you so so much for sharing and sending you lots of love xxxx
Hi can I ask what is the best way to get hold of geek and gorgeous in the uk?
Hi hun, I would recommend ordering directly from the G&G website which ships so quick and offers really good customer services.. sending you lots of love xxxx
I prefer the gel version.
Can I use this PC BHA liquid and the ordinary 10% lactic acid in the same night?
Hi hun, yes you can but I wouldn't if you have sensitive skin.. sending you lots of love xxxxx
So I just bought a small bottle of this a couple weeks ago (first time) to try out. It was sealed so I know no one got into it but weird question; does it smell like nail polish remover to anyone else? I'm trying to make sure mine isn't old or something since there's no date on it.
It does smell like acetone. Your bottle is fine :)
hi hun, thank you for watching.. It does have a bit of a strong smell to it so it sounds like yours is fine and sending you lots of love xxxx
I like it but I don't think it justifies the price. If anyone has a good cruelty-free dupe please comment it here 😊
I agree that some of us don't need this twice a day. I use strong retinoids and would use this once or twice a week.
I totally agree hun and I think we always have to think about the other products we use in our skincare routine and how they work together.. thank you for sharing and sending you lots of love xxxx
What retinoids do you use?
@@teramonte7077 Curology tretinoin.
susanmcf1 Is that a prescription drug in the US?
@@teramonte7077 Yes
Well said
Glad the "reformulation" isn't so much different.. If it ain't broken, don't fix it
I totally agree with you hun .. love you xxxxx
Honest thought on this: it was awful for me! I really tried to like it, but it was a fat pass for me. I just am not a fan of PC because of the price point.
Thank you so so much for sharing and sending you lots of love xxxx
Maybe it is just me, but this product feels very oily on my skin (even when I use only a few drops) and it is a little to strong as well... I am oily and acne prone, but I prefer products with a lower concentration of salicylic acid like the one by selfless by Hyram which is my personal holy grail product. But as Rob was saying -I agree that everybody should try and match their exfoliants specifically for their own individual skin and wallet. Thankfully in todays skincare world there is a match for everyone. ;-)
For what it's worth, I also found the liquid exfoliant too oily. I switched to the gel one and it is so much better. I've also been using the Geek & Gorgeous Porefectly Clear BHA, and while it's also 2%, it's so gentle and doesn't leave the slightest bit of a film.
What a coincidence. My sister just bought it for me. And I still don't have any idea on how to use it. 😂
THIS STUFF BROKE ME OUT SO BAD!!
Salicylic acid can cause purging which is normal. After the purge your skin should be much clearer than before
@@rachelnail4622 I prefer the one from naturium to be honest. Never once broke me out x
Oohh which one? I can't use the Paula's Choice one because it leaves my skin severely dry and flaky and sometimes feels like it gives me a chemical burn. I don't know how people can use it twice a day!
@@rachelnail4622 naturium bha liquid exfoliant 2% soooo good
I'm going to try it! Thank you so much!
🌸
Love you xxxx
I like BHA 4% Pau more...
Thank you so much for sharing and sending you lots of love xxxxx
@@MadAboutSkin Love from Vietnam. Thanks!
🦒
Used it in October. I am still recovering. Do not like it at all.
☹ Sorry to hear. I’ve been reluctant to try it but I’m enjoying the Peach Slices Acne Exfoliating Toner! Lactic acid + bha
So sorry it didnt work for you and thank you for sharing.. sending you lots of love xxxxx
First :)
