i would love to say that i have had acne for about 2 years now, and i tried everything. glycolic acid, lactic acid, niacinamide, bha aha masks, benzol peroxide, i mean the list goes on and on. i just tried this serum and after a few days i woke up this morning after using and my skin was nearly perfect, i still have a bit of texture but oh my god, im starstruck.
They finally brought it back 😭 they took it down around the time I've learned salicylic acid is what my skin needs and there weren't really any other cheaper alternatives. I bought Paula's choice one, from the CLEAR like and well for me it wasn't such a game changer as I thought it would be. Cleanser with bha did much better job for me - I was so reluctant to try it, I regret I got it not so long ago 😭 buuut when I finish Paula's choice one I am definitely going to try this one from TO! I think it's going to be great🙏 thank you for the video!❤️
Hi Cathy. Thanks to your video's I started using Paula's Choice BHA but the gel version and OMG the results in just 3 weeks is amazing. I only use it at night but my friends who have never mentioned my skin have started giving me compliments about how fresh, clear and young my skin looks so I am over the moon. Thank you so so much as I have suffered with mild acne for ever and now I just look...well...happy :-)
Great video. The anhydrous version is such a pain in the ass to use for me. My skin isn't desert dry, so it takes hours for it to absorb to some good enough degree, and it means I need to use my AHA first, because oils go on towards the end. With this product I can do the BHA and then the AHA, and I can use it in the morning too, since my skin won't be oily and annoying. Also because it's in an oil, I think that's why it does I think literally nothing for me. I need that oil to get out of the damn way of the salicylic acid. Seeing reviews get the 2 mixed up is annoying to see, and in my country there's retailers who don't even know it exists yet, and it's been over 2 months since it released. They just know about the anhydrous version. The confusion is really unfortunate for people with oily skin (and salicylic acid is primarily going to be utilised by them).
Please share your advise to me! This is my current routine right now can you tell me if this is okay and in this order? 1. CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser 2. The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning solution applied with cotton pad not rinsed off 3. Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA liquid applied with cotton pad not rinsed off 4. Mario Badescu Vitamin C Serum mixed with The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% + a couple drops of Isle of Paradise Tanning Glow drops + CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum (At night only) 5. CeraVe Daily Moisturizing lotion Face and body I do this exact routine daily in the morning and night. I have hormonal acne-combination skin and sensitive skin, I’m almost 30. I’d like your advice please!
concerned about having two exfoliators in one routine especially night and day. it would be better i think to better to seperate them to day and night maybe the ordinary in the day because its a daily toner and the paulas at night. But do what your skin feels best and what it can handle just some tips from my experience :)
Hi cathy! I have a lot of pimples, blackheads, white heads, dark spots and thiny bumps on my forehead, nose and chin area (my cheek have 'perfect' skin tho...) do you have some tips to improve my skincare routine? My current skincare routine is: Morning 1.wash face with water 2.cera ve sa cleanser 3.cera ve moisturizing cream 4.sunscreen! Evening 1.wash face with water 2.panoxyl acne foaming cleanser 3.The ordinary niacinamide serum 4.The ordinary azelaic acid 5.cera ve moisturizing cream Hope you can help!
Never had the old one, but ordered this one. I have the mini size of paula's choice bha, but because of the price, I can't use that as much as I want. Btw, you have the cuuuuuuuuuutest teeth 🥰
@@sadiajafrinn Hey there, yes i did I’ve tried many salicylic acids, this one, the paula’s choice one, the glow recipe one, and the ordinary anhydrous salicylic acid one. They were all good, but i much prefer one that doesn’t feel kind of greasy on my face, or my hair doesn’t stick to it. The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution was definitely my favourite. The finish is similar to the ordinary niacinamide serum. And since it doesn’t feel greasy, i can easily use it as a spot treatment too.
Hi cathy I am using the 2%salicylic acid masque of ordinary once a week and its good Is this better than the masque Can I use vit c of ordinary after the salicylic acid masque
I really want to know cuz the masque has really been helping me. My skin was like 70/80% cleat from tretinoin and adapalene bit with this mask its 90% clear. But the bottle empties very quickly so I'd rather use a different salicylic acid product.
Hi, Cathy! Can I use Paula's Choice BHA @% lotion and then use Paula's choice 15% Vitamin C booster? If not, what toner can I use before Vitamin C, please? Many thanks!
I used Paulas Choice Exfoliant but ran out and its out of stock my skin is almost better so can I dump other options and start this for night before moisturising?
i bought the paulas choice 2% bha liquid exfoliate (glad i started with the travel size) but i can only use it 2x a week and for my stubborn acne its not really the best. if i bought the ordinary salcylic acid would i have to stop using the paulas choice exfoliant?
@@rocky-yu3bx i never ended up buying the the ordinary salcylic acid, but i did buy their glycolic acid toner. not AS good as the paulas choice bha, but its cheaper for more product and it does work well!
Damn, I used to buy it for 18 dollars, even though it is also cheap, but I feel like they are fooling me, but the problem is that it is available at this price in all local stores.
I feel like that would be too stripping for your face. I’m not an expert but if u think about it salicylic acid is used for light exfoliation as it removes dirt and oil deep down in your pores.
Yeah exactly the same scenario... I also do have the dark color bottle... 🤔 But why... M i using tye fake one..?? But.. It's effecting my skin in good way... What's going on with me, Man...

For a cheaper alternative
- ruruberry 2% bha serum
*RM 43
- skinmade bha 2% + azelaic acid serum
*RM 45.10
Cheaper alternative? Girl this is not even $7 CAD.

i was waiting for your review on this!! i’ve been using the paulas choice bha but don’t love the oily texture. i’m going to give this a shot :)
Do you think the ordinary 2% Salicylic Acid is better than paula's choice? or vise versa?
For me I prefer the ordinary one cause the paulas choice is way more expensive and have an oil finish after it, my oily skin prefer TO one.
@@travellerkarson thank you for this! I also have quite an oily skin
What would you recommend in general, this or Paula's Choice 2% BHA exfoliant
I was just about to ask that too
The long awaited video~~~

You shouldn't use retinol with vit C or any other exfoliant.

Did you try this one out?
@@sadiajafrinn Hey there, yes i did
I’ve tried many salicylic acids, this one, the paula’s choice one, the glow recipe one, and the ordinary anhydrous salicylic acid one.

After i use this can i layer it with alpha arbutin serum??
Cosrx bha or the ordinary salicylic acid serum or paula's choice bha
Which is better for daily use for oily acne prone skin ?!
Cosrx is not salicylic acid. These two are :)
The Cosrx it’s way top gentle so it takes much More time, the Paulas one leave a light film and the ordinary one does not leave a Film
I do have dry but not too dry can I still purchase it
hii!! can u do a review for ego qv skincare line 🙏🏻🙏🏻
This or Paula's choice?
Can you use it with vitamin C?
Can you use it with a cleanser that has salicylic acid, like the CeraVe one?
I feel like that would be too stripping for your face. I’m not an expert but if u think about it salicylic acid is used for light exfoliation as it removes dirt and oil deep down in your pores.
Can I put it in the fridge
i was afraid my product was a bad one or smth but i'm glad that the soapy consistence is normal and i just have to apply a bit less 😂
What was your skin routine like? If you can describe. Thank you :)

Yes it’s good for blackheads, but don’t put too much on your nose and avoid the eyes and mouth area
