Clear Acne Regular Strength Exfoliating Solution 2% BHA (Salicylic Acid) immediately goes to work fighting mild to moderate acne. The lightweight texture leaves you feeling like there’s nothing on your face, yet delivers powerful anti-acne benefits all day or all night long. Ongoing use leads to significantly clearer, smoother skin without redness.
This exfoliant has a pH range of 3.5–4.0.

All Paula’s Choice products are 100% fragrance free, clinically proven to be non-irritating, and never tested on animals.

Say no to harsh scrubs that do more harm than good to skin. This non-irritating leave-on exfoliant works to reduce blackheads, white bumps and acne by unclogging pores and calming redness. There are no harsh ingredients that can cause more problems for your skin. Appropriate even for skin prone to cystic acne.

Apply once or twice daily after cleansing. Lightly soak a cotton pad and apply over the entire face, including the eye area (avoid the lower lash line and eyelids). Do not rinse. If excessive dryness or peeling occurs, reduce application to once per day or once every other day. For daytime, follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen rated SPF 30 or greater.

Irreplaceable

Have been using this product for more than 9 years. Totally love it and will keep on using in future. I did try other bha products which claimed to be as effective but none can beat this!

IMPRESSIVE

Got this as a trial. Have to admit I prefer this over the grey bottle which bear oiliness. My combination skin have never felt clearer. Going to get this as my next exfoliant
