This is the first BHA exfoliant I've ever tried (besides the salicylic acid that's been present in cleansers I've used in the past), and I find this product to be okay. I like the way it smells and...

This product works, if you stick with it, for more than a month. If you have already existing pimples and apply this, you may notice them getting slightly worse, this is because they are reacting...

Having been using this for 2 months I'm glad to say that it's a wonderful product and would definitely repurchase it. The texture is like that of semi-thick fluid, very light, sinks into the skin...

Great product that has 2 % BHA and no alcohol! Once my blemishes were under control I use it twice a week. Only get a pimple now if I forget to use it. I stock up when it goes on sale. The price...

This is my choice when its comes to a product containing BHA. Its a chemical exfoliant that can help lessen blemishes. But I don't think this will make acne disappear overnight, or even one...
