Excellent product! My skin has been it's best since I included AHA/BHA into my skincare 2 years ago after reading the advice from Paula's website. My skin has since become mostly blemish free and...

A stellar exfoliant option from Paula's Choice. Excellent packaging, and, when compared to other AHA exfoliants, quite cheap! I usually use one pump for face, then an additional one pump for neck...

This is a very nice 8% glycolic acid based exfoliant. Before this, i used alpha hydrox's 10% enhanced cream, and although i was just introducing my skin to aha, it burned more than i liked. This...

Great stuff! Has definitely improved the rate of my skin turnover, and has helped reduce the appearance of old acne marks.
