✧･ﾟ: * paula's choice skin perfecting 2% BHA liquid exfoliant 30ml ($18) ✧･ﾟ: *
contains 2% salicylic acid which helps to gently exfoliate and remove old skin cells on skin's surface & inside the pore, unclog pores and shrink enlarge pores ✨✨
i use this on clean, dry skin right after cleansing, and like to wait for about 20 min for the salicylic acid to work on my skin before going in with the rest of my routine
it has a very watery texture 💦 that absorbs easily into the skin. a little goes a long way with this, and i only use a few drops for my whole face (spread it out!!). i also realised that using too much would lead to an oily film on top of my face 😭 there is a slightly weird chemically smell (a little like nail polish) but i honestly got used to it after awhile
i absolutely LOVE this. i can see the difference immediately after one use. smaller unclogged pores, less sebum / sebaceous filaments. this doesn't automatically get rid of blackheads for me, but they "push" the blackhead to the surface and i'll be very honest but i would carefully extract them myself LOL it comes out super easy cos it's already at the top (pls don't take this as advice though...)
(also i just wanted to add that i've had this 30ml bottle for about 8 months now and it still has at least 1/4 left. i don't use this regularly, but rather only when i have lots of pimples/blackheads/excess sebum that i want to get rid of because this really works in just one use)
no texture pic for this one because its expensive 🥲🥲 but honestly it really just looks like water
︶︶︶︶
☁️ verdict: 4.5/5
🧚♀️ would i repurchase?
yes i definitely want to but this is pricey 😭😭 might have to KIV this for now (honestly leaning more towards yes considering how long this 30ml bottle has lasted me)
