I will continue to buy this product until the day I die. I'll be buried with this product. And no, this is not a paid ad.I spent a year and half trying to find the source of my adult acne. I stopped drinking milk. Figured it was the dairy. Gave up soy. Gave up almond milk. Gave up cashew milk. Gave up gluten. Stopped taking birth control. I even made excuses for nearly 6 months, telling myself oh the body just has to get used to these changes. The hormones have to work their way out.I finally realized nothing was making a difference.So I bought this on a whim. I really don't do skincare. I wash my face, apply my cerave pm lotion like the rest of the world does, and that's about it. I don't like the hassle of having a routine and a hundred products.So I bought this because i liked the idea of not having to remember to use it every single day. I apply it maybe twice a week after I shower but before bed. I'm not religious about it, I just do it when I remember it. And it's works wonders.It's been about a month. My breakouts are gone. I still have some redness, but I expect that'll get better now that the active breakouts are gone.A word of caution though, it makes you VERY sensitive to the sun. I made the mistake of applying it one morning instead of evening, and it was a beautiful Saturday. I didn't even spend much time outside, mostly just walking back and forth from the house to the car, or car to the garage, and I got a decent little sun burn on my face. So definitely use it at night, or apply a sunscreen over top.Also, even though I apply face lotion about an hour after putting it on, my face was decently dry the first time I used it. The second time it was fine, but the first time it was dry and a little flaky. I was still able to wear makeup the next day, it wasn't bad enough for others to notice the dryness, but I noticed it. But again, that only seemed to happen the very first time I used it.tl;dr: it works, Ive stopped breaking out. Don't go in the sun, makes you very sun sensitive. May be a little drying for the first use

always my go to chemical exfoliation and perfect for my sensitive skin. my last bottle lasted me a whole year

Skin care doesn't have to be complicated! I use my fav face wash (cetaphil or cerave are my go tos, I have sensitive skin), and then follow up with a SPF moisturizer during the day, one for night, and I added this along with the retinol by this brand and HOLY DIFFERENCE ITS BEEN ONE WEEK!!! My skin FEELS better, LOOKS amazing, and I'm SO HAPPY!!! I literally never write reviews but I had to come on here and say if you're looking for a chemical exfoliant this is a great one!!

This product always does me justice

I absolutely love this product. At first I was hesitant because I have very sensitive skin and having the word acid in the title made me kind of nervous but I'm so glad that I decided to make this purchase. I use this in my daily skin care routine and it has cleared up my skin so much. I use it after cleansing and drying my face, I use it with a cotton round. I would warn that wearing this for more than five minutes feels quite drying so I would recommend a thick moisturizer to help hydrate your skin.

I bought the small bottle because I wanted to test how my skin would react yo it. It works great it helps with my acne I use it 2 times a week.

I have oily combo extremely acne prone skin. I started using this every three days instead of 1-2 as my skin is sensitive. On one of the days I use this alone , on the third time around I add grape seed oil as a moisturizer after. After the third time using this, I have seen DRAMATIC results. I feel so confident. My usually enlarged pores are minimal. For my skin type this is the best thing I have ever used!!

I love this toner! I have been using it 1-2 times a week for years and may never change that! It keeps my skin complexion clear and even without drying out. My skin is always really soft after using this exfoliating toner. The only thing i don't like about it is the smell. It smells so bad like throw up. I breathe through my mouth when I use it because the results are worth it.

I suffer from support dermatitis which affects my scalp and different parts of my body. I have a small dry patch on my face that I have been trying to get rid of for many months, but my prescribed medicine for my face had not been working. I began to use this as an alternative to try and do a chemical exfoliate rather than trying to physically exfoliate my face as it would irritate my condition. When I began to use this spot on my face felt very rough and coarse, but the appearance of it was less. After about a week of using this product I realize the skin on that spot started flaking off of my face, I was worried that it was making it worse. After I waited out the skin flaking, The skin underneath is very soft and smooth and it has now become a lot easier to manage because of this product.

This was my 2nd and last bottle I am purchasing. I contacted the seller to let them know I purchased a bottle with a horrible stench. They replied and said every batch is different and some may have a smell. No offer for a replacement. My husband has commented that he can smell it too. Poor customer service!!!

If only I had discovered Paula's Choice skincare sooner! I'm in my 50's, and thought it was too late for my skin. Not true with Paula's Choice!!!

I only use it on my nose which has enlarged pores and blackheads, its always oily too. This product really solve these problems! I thought salicylic acid would be too strong for my skin but it doesn't, no redness or pain or dryness. I use twice a day. If you have oily skin you have to give it a try.

I have been thru chemo twice and my skin has taken a hit! My face looked so ruddy and old, just pitiful really. I used this the first time and didn't think much about it, except it was gritty feeling. It rinsed off easily. When I went to the mirror, I was quite surprised at the results! My face glowed. This exfoliant had removed that dead top layer and I really just glowed! I then moisturized and the look and feel lasted a couple of days. My skin is sensitive now, as I have no hormones due to the BRCA2 gene, so I am gentle when it comes to soaps and cleansers. This stuff is great!

This product is definitely worth the hype. It really works to exfoliate the skin. I use this in the evening only and have seen a noticeable difference in the texture and tone of my skin. My pores are getting smaller and my skin feels refreshed. I use this all over my face at night a couple times a week and sometimes as a spot treatment when a new pimple is emerging. It definitely helps to reduce the size of the pimple and how it heals after. Highly recommend!

Im always surprised with the brown hue on the cotton while using. The consistency is such i still have residue on my face, which is the point of the product. Works overtime on large pores.

Found this product about a year ago when I was having a major crisis with hormonal acne. My skin looked SO bad, and for those who have been though this, you all know how absolutely traumatic and paralyzing it can be. I didn’t want to do anything, see anyone or go anywhere and stressing out about it only compounded the problem. It was devastating after 2 months of anguish, I found this exfoliant online and gave it a shot, using it religiously (along with led light therapy mask). My skin started clearing up within a week, and was totally healed 2 weeks later.I am happy to say that a year later my skin looks better than before and I haven’t had any bouts of acne hormonal or otherwise. I use this religiously and will continue to - “till death do us part.” It’s amazing.

I'm in my late 20s and my job still requires me to wear a mask pretty frequently. I was struggling with acne along my jaw and on my cheeks. This killed the existing acne and I haven't had major breakouts since starting. Truly a game changer. Prior to purchase I was using differin benzoyl peroxide face wash, Cera ve moisturizer, Neutrogena spot treatment (benzoyl peroxide based) and Neutrogena sport face sunscreen during day. Cera ve retinol at night. Frank body face scrub once per week. I'm still using those things but just adding this to the day time and night time routine. I apply with my hands. Thanks to this I've felt confident not wearing makeup to work. It's fantastic. I started seeing results in roughly a week.

Someone mentioned this product online. I suffer from hormonal skin disease and it's helped my skin clear out so much. Will continue to buy !

The morning after my first application was unreal! I immediately noticed less redness and smaller pores. I'm excited to add this to my skincare routine and can't wait to follow up in a couple weeks and see the long term effects.

I started noticing positive effects after one use. This product is amazing!
