Beauty fans are singing the praises of a £13 liquid exfoliator on Amazon, with claims it produces ‘flawless’ and blemish-free skin ‘within a few days of application’. The product causing the stir is Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant, designed to unclog and reduce enlarged pores whilst smoothing and balancing skin tone.
This fast-absorbing formula is said to remove built-up dead skin cells and combat blackheads and breakouts. The exfoliator works by clearing dead skin cells from both the surface and deep inside pores, delivering clearer and more radiant-looking skin.
The formula contains salicylic acid as its key ingredient, which helps to decongest and clear pores of debris and excess oil without drying out or stripping the skin. Salicylic acid also acts as an effective treatment for mild acne, minimising inflammation and redness whilst stopping future blemishes from developing.
On Amazon, Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant has achieved an impressive 4.4 average star rating from a massive 101,601 reviews. Beauty enthusiasts have been impressed by the liquid exfoliator’s performance, with numerous customers noticing clearer skin in just a ‘matter of days’.
One Amazon shopper said: “Really great product. This worked within a few days of using it, it works on sensitive skin, and I have now purchased it twice. Miracle in a bottle.”
A second customer commented: “This product is my favourite. I only discovered it last year but I wish I knew about it sooner. My face always gets oily very quick and I used to have blackheads quite a lot. But since using this product, my face is almost flawless. It helps clear the makeup residue and reduce pores as well. I use it in the morning and evening after I apply toner.”
A third reviewer added: “Absolutely amazing stuff after having issues with my skin on and off for years. My skin is finally clear. So happy with the results if you have issues with your skin, I highly recommend this product.
“The hype is real,” another user noted. “I bought a little bottle to try it out before committing, and have since bought the larger bottles directly from Paula’s Choice. Both myself and my partner have been using it, our skin types couldn’t be more different, but we’ve both had amazing results. I love how my skin feels with this, so soft and smooth, lines have been reduced.”
However, one person wasn’t entirely convinced by the Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant, reporting they haven’t seen ‘any improvements’. They commented: “Not seeing anything change at the movement, although, I am still trying it. Don’t like the scent really puts me off. Takes so long to absorb and until it does, I cannot touch my face. Does make your face feel stingy at the beginning but once absorbed, it’s fine. Did make my nose dry so, I don’t put it on my nose anymore.”
However, one customer gave the skin serum a glowing five-star review, writing: “My son bought this but I have stolen it off him because I have discovered it is amazing. It comes out as a clear liquid, I put it on (flat) cotton wool and was shocked at the colour of the cotton wool by the time I had finished going around my face – I thought my face was clean until I used this!”
“My skin really did feel nice afterwards. I have been wondering how/why my son has such nice looking skin – he said he has been using it a while. I am aged 52 and he is aged 22, I think it suits all ages and all skin types. Now I have discovered it, I will need to buy him a replacement bottle.”
