Paula's Choice 2% BHA liquid exfoliation

According to their representative in their Instagram and it’s directions, it should be fine, up to once or twice a day. However just listen to your skin. If it get too dry, you are over exfollianting. You might get purging but the acne should be gone faster than normal. However it does depends on what other actives you are using too. This particular formula is very penetrative so you might feel some warmth or mild sting the first time you use it. It’s the infamous Paula Choice glow

You risk over exfoliating using it so often. and compromising your skin barrier Limit to 2-3x a week maximum at night and don’t forget spf in the day

I used it once a day for many years with no problems at all but now that I am incorporating retinoids it’s too strong for me so I just mix a few drops into my toner occasionally or use .05% BHA product.

It’s recommended to use BHA exfoliants 2-3 times a week, even though the packaging says it’s for daily use. I use my PC exfoliant every Monday and Thursday in my PM routine :)
