I just bought paula’s choice bha, and started to see my skin having some acne at places ive rarely seen; my jawline and forehead. Im confused whether its purging or my skin does not react well with it. I have normal to dry skin and used it twice a week night routine. Usually i left it for around 15 minutes before continuing my routine. I just wanna ask did anyone experience any kind of purging using this? Since it was dubbed by many as holy grail, im hoping this is just a purging phase. Now i stopped using it, hoping to read some of your experince using it ☺️

Paula’s choice BHA - purging

Hi im new here so asking for help 😆 wanna ask, if I have acne, after cleanser, should i do spot treatment first (and leave for 5 minutes) or do my exfoliating routine (i use bha cosrx)?

spot treatment or exfoliate

The packaging. I have a love-hate realtionship with a plastic bottle. Prefer glass bottle for aesthetic although i know its not very travel friendly

Great as soothing product. I applied it whenever i notice my skin has some irritation or redness the night before and the next day it will cool down. It has watery texture and absorb readily to my skin. Might repurchase whenever i need something soothing

Maybe some people will feel this product did not really clean the oilyness away from their face, but not me

I have an oily skin, so i started with the salicylic acid cosrx face wash, but then switched to this since i felt my skin became too tight trying the aforementioned product. And I love this facewash, it didnt cause any tightness and left my face feel normal after wash, like ‘clean’ normal, not normal in ways it did not help anything. I plan to stick with this product in the future

WHITE CAST. I get that this is a physical sunscreen but the white cast was so bad even after i put it on the afternoon, at night it is still visible. Had tried other physical sunscreen but this one’s white cast is unbeatable

Hyaluronic acid. I bought it to try these ingredients but did not feel the effects

I love the texture! Not sure why some hate the texture, calling it tacky but for me i love that it feels absorbed into my face 🥰 i also noticed that my skin improve after using this

Fragrance, i just use it without checking the ingredient but i did notice the lime smell. After checking, found it contain citric acid which explains the smell. Might be bad for those with sensitive skin

Love it, leaves no white cast, texture is light, affordable, large size
