Start slowly: Apply every other day and note skin's response. Then use up to twice daily. For daytime, always finish with a sunscreen rated SPF 30 or above. For nighttime, follow with the rest of your routine.

Gentle but effective exfoliant
Paula's Choice products are among my favourite and I've been using her exfoliants for years. She doesn't use fragrances or gimmicks in her products, just high-quality skincare. My skin is fair, more often dry than otherwise and highly sensitive. I can't tolerate fragrance or harsh essential oils in any skin or makeup product. If you're not used to BHA exfoliants, start using the 2% Skin Perfecting Liquid carefully. Salicylic acid is a safe but powerful ingredient. Add it to your skincare routine once a day to start, I recommend in the evening after cleansing. I use a teaspoon or so in cotton wool and follow with a serum and moisturizer. I wake up with clear, calm and healthy skin.

Average
I seem to be the minority here, but I personally found this product underwhelming. First off, the consistency is just awful! A bit oily, a bit sticky and will just not sink into the skin (combination skin). In addition, I am not experiencing overwhelming results either. It does help slightly to clear congestion but it‘s not an overnight miracle. In terms of efficacy I would compare it to the Inkey List Salycilic acid cleanser that I much prefer. In terms of overnight miracles I have not yet found a better product than the super spot remover by Origins. So in my humble opinion, this is not worth the money and the hype.

just one night...
This is a classic that keeps my pimples away and gives me smooth skin, will not travel without it. I'm used to acids so doesn't give me shedding or any other problems.

Works well but can be drying
I get clogged pores on my forehead and some texture on my cheeks near my nose. This product gets rid of all of that! It goes in a few days (for me anyway). What I would say is be careful, I only use it once in the evenings (with a moisturiser on top) and after a few days I start to feel really dry, so go easy with it and learn your limits.

Amazing
I have acne prone skin with lots of bumps too and this helped to bring them down and clear my skin up. Would recommend to anyone, I use it every other night and my skin is looking way clearer and more glowy!

Really good!
I usually get blackheads on my nose and since using this product I have noticed a reduced amount of blackheads and a clearer complexion, and the Salicylic acid really helps shed the dead skin. I would advise if you have sensitive skin to not use this product a couple of days before applying heavy makeup or have a big night coming up. The product made me shed quite a bit and didn't look flattering when applying foundation. Overall a win!

SO GLAD
So glad this is finally available on Cult Beauty so I no longer have to order through the Paula's Choice website. Best BHA ever.
