I'm almost through with my second tube of this and really like it as a BHA if I'm feeling like my skin is irritated or breaking out or just needs something medicinal/purifying. I don't use it every...

I don't understand the people giving this bad reviews? It definitely won't give you blackheads or cause acne. I almost think they are paid reviews from other brands to lower the rating. Anyways, I...

Best salicylic acne product I've tried. It's an unscented, 1% SA lotion. It keeps my skin even and my pores looking clean and oh so tiny unlike anything I've tried. I don't use it as a moisturizer...

All this did was clog more pores even more. This is a light gel cream that is fragrance free and contains 1 % salicylic acid. For a prestige brand, the ingredients are pretty basic. For the price,...

Smells absolutely awful to me, I despise the scent so much. Despite that this BHA moisturizer works. I apply a generous amount to my face about 2 nights a week and it helps keep my acne at bay and...

This has become my favorite BHA, but the price is prohibitive (I get a solid discount on most products). It's exceeding gentle for a BHA, has no smell, and left me with no irritation while using it...

The product works gently to exfoliate and treat acne on my normal/combination skin. It doesn't prevent acne altogether, but it does reduce the time they last. While it treats acne, the moisturizer...

I bought this because it's one of the few salicylic acid moisturizers that have the correct % and pH range (according to Paula's Choice). I've been using this for about 2.5 months and I'm quite...

I really like this moisturizer! I bought it as insurance against acne, not really as a treatment for existing acne, but it does help with that, too. I read about it on Paula Begoun's website, which...

This is a nice lotion textured acne treatment that did exfoliate my skin, but did not leave me with clear skin! Something in this treatment is causing abnormal breakouts. Just too bad, because I...
