Nothing great !
Reviewed in India on 11 July 2020I have oily skin with pores especially around nose chin and cheek area and I have been using this product once every night for 2 weeks now. I don’t see any change in my pores or skin. It’s like an oily layer after you apply. Not sure if I will re buy the product but the quatity sure is good. Will update after few weeks again in case there is any change in my skin texture.
Update : been using it quite regularly for more than a month now. I don’t see much change.. but maybe the pore size on my nose have shrunk a bit. Will update again after a month.
Update on 28th Sept _ the product is actually good. Although I have not been regular , I have stopped pricking my whiteheads and my sebaceous filaments on my chin are finally gone. I will continue to use this product l. Now understand the hype. Moving the rating to 4 stars and will come back again after 2 months.
Final update: I love this product, I have been extremely irregular with the product but it’s worked on my pores and sebaceous filaments very well. It reduces my break out by 60% over night. I will continue to use it and understood finally why it’s a cult favourite for a reason. Please be patient and surely you will see the results.

"Flawless Skin Awaits: Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Salicylic Acid Exfoliant Review"
Reviewed in India on 15 December 2023As someone who has struggled with blackheads, enlarged pores, and occasional breakouts, Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Salicylic Acid Exfoliant has become an absolute game-changer in my skincare routine. This 30ml travel-sized bottle has proven to be a potent solution for achieving clearer, smoother skin.
Effectiveness (5/5): The 2% salicylic acid concentration in this liquid exfoliant is a true powerhouse. It effortlessly penetrates the pores, dissolving excess sebum and exfoliating dead skin cells. Since incorporating it into my routine, I've noticed a remarkable reduction in blackheads, minimized pores, and an overall improvement in skin texture.
Gentle Exfoliation (5/5): What sets this exfoliant apart is its ability to deliver effective results without causing irritation. The liquid formula glides on smoothly, and its gentle exfoliation leaves my skin feeling renewed and rejuvenated. I appreciate that it doesn't strip the skin of its natural moisture.
Versatility (5/5): This exfoliant is a multitasking marvel. Whether dealing with blackheads, enlarged pores, wrinkles, or fine lines, it tackles them all. I've even found it effective in preventing and treating occasional breakouts. The versatility makes it a valuable addition to any skincare arsenal.
Packaging (5/5): The travel-sized bottle is not only convenient for on-the-go use but also ensures product freshness. The flip-top cap dispenses just the right amount, preventing wastage. The packaging is sleek and practical, making it easy to incorporate into both daily

Amazon Customer5 out of 5 starsGentle but effective
Reviewed in the United States on 4 June 2026I’ve used quite a few exfoliating products over the years, but I keep coming back to this one because blackheads seem determined to make themselves at home in my pores. No matter how consistent I am with the rest of my skincare routine, they always find a way to show up, especially around my nose and chin.
What I like most about this exfoliant is that it works without feeling harsh. It has a lightweight liquid texture that applies easily and absorbs quickly. Unlike physical scrubs that can leave my skin feeling irritated or over-exfoliated, this provides gentle chemical exfoliation with none of the rough scrubbing. My skin feels smoother after use, and I don’t get the tight, stripped feeling that some acne-focused products can cause.
After using it regularly, I notice fewer clogged pores and a visible reduction in blackheads. My pores also look less noticeable, and my skin texture appears more even overall. It helps keep congestion under control before it turns into larger blemishes, which is a big reason why it has remained a staple in my routine.
For me, this is one of those rare products that manages to be both effective and gentle at the same time. If blackheads and clogged pores are an ongoing battle, this has been one of the most reliable products I’ve found for keeping them under control while still being comfortable enough for regular use.
Summary: This exfoliant has earned a permanent spot in my skincare routine. It helps reduce blackheads, keeps my pores looking clearer, and improves overall skin texture without irritating my skin. For anyone dealing with persistent pore congestion, it’s easy to see why this product has such a loyal following.

Dia5 out of 5 starsGreat exfoliator
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 January 2024I love this exfoliator!
It’s great for when my skin feels congested after a few days of wearing makeup, I use it around 2 times a week and over time it’s really helped my skin feel smoother and have less blemishes.
I bought a mini one to take when I travel or stay at my partners, this is really useful!

Verona King5 out of 5 starsSmall bottom but powerful
Reviewed in Canada on 29 April 2026This was a gift for a young family member. I bought this product for them because I heard good things about Paula‘s choice products. The family member said that it did clear up the inflammation from acne and their face felt smoother. It would be a great stocking stuffer or a care package for male or female at any age.

Mach5 out of 5 starsADULT ACNE FINALLY UNDER CONTROL!!!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 April 2018Amazing product! The progress with this takes a few months ...but please be patient! At 33 years old I never thought I’d be free from breakouts and scarring from cystic hormonal type acne.
Started using once a day on a cotton pad at night. Skin will sting a tad & be slightly flaky to start after a few days. Skin may “purge” spots as pores are unclogged but this will calm down - trust me!
Once skin becomes flaky I then reduced to use all over my face every 3 days, but everyday along my jawline and neck. I follow with a light oil free moisturiser.
Honestly, I have used around 2 bottles in 8 months and I get minimal spots now, and they heal very quickly. Any inflammation comes up and I pop a dab of this on! Skin also feels so smooth too. This is a real review!!! It could change your life!!
