    This is great for rosacea. I no longer look like I just came in from building a snowman.

    I came across Paula's Choice on YouTube, after hearing popular faces like Wayne Goss rant and rave about her products. After browsing the site a few months back I decided to place my first order and brave "acids" once again. With free shipping over $50 and easy returns, I couldn't say no to the $20 price tag.

    Salicylic acid has been an ingredient that I assumed was irritating to my sensitive skin. Lone behold, it's the product base and all the other "filler stuff" in the tube causing irritation, since the acid itself is only 1-2% of the entire quantity.

    Salicylic acid, also known as BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid), is an oil-soluble ingredient in almost every "clearing" skincare product. This means that salicylic acid relieves and dissolves the oils which can harden and clog pores, therefore oxidizing and causing blackheads. Pores cannot be shrunken. Blackheads cannot be removed for good. The only way to control, minimize and temporarily eliminate blackheads is by using a BHA product like this.

    I apply my 2% BHA liquid once per day, at night, after my toner and before my moisturizer. I've applied it to untoned skin, over moisturizer, under makeup, you name it. I've never had adverse reactions and I've noticed a great diminishment in clogged pores and breakouts in general. My skin doesn't feel stripped or tight after applying my BHA, if anything, it feels a touch more moisturized. To save product and cotton I'll simply dampen my finger tips with the dropper bottle and gently massage the liquid onto my entire face- avoiding the eyes and lips. To apply this product onto my back or chest, I'll moisten a cotton pad and apply with that.

    I would recommend this product to anyone, unless you have had an allergic reaction to salicylic acid or aspirin in the past. BHA exfoliants are actually used for general anti-aging purposes also, since the gentle chemical "exfoliation" helps to eliminate dead, dull skin cells, providing a more even-toned and brightened skin surface.
