About the Product

The Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting AHA Liquid Exfoliant is a new skincare product designed to address concerns like uneven texture, fine lines, and dullness. It contains mandelic acid, lactic acid, and yarrow extract to exfoliate and improve the skin's appearance. The product is suitable for all skin types and is paraben-free, phthalate-free, and cruelty-free.

What I Like About It

I have sensitive, acne-prone skin, and this exfoliant has been gentle enough to use without causing any irritation. It has helped improve the texture of my skin and even made my breakouts disappear faster. I've been able to use it every other day without any negative effects, and my skin looks brighter and feels softer. Overall, I've noticed fewer breakouts since incorporating this product into my routine.

How to Use It

The brand recommends applying the exfoliant up to two times a day after cleansing and toning. It can be applied with clean hands or a cotton pad, avoiding the eye and lip areas. I started by using it every three days and gradually increased the frequency over time. I typically use a cotton round to apply it, but it can also be applied directly with fingers. After applying, follow with your regular skincare routine.

Things to Consider

Before trying the Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting AHA Liquid Exfoliant, it's important to do a patch test on a small area of skin to check for any adverse reactions. The product has a faint, unpleasant smell due to the blend of acids, but it hasn't affected my overall enjoyment of the product. It's also worth noting that the exfoliant can make the skin more sensitive to the sun, so it's important to use SPF when using this product.

Final Rating

I would give the Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting AHA Liquid Exfoliant a rating of 4 out of 5. It has been effective in improving the texture of my skin and reducing breakouts, but the faint smell and sun sensitivity are minor drawbacks. Overall, I would recommend this product for those looking to improve their skin's appearance and address concerns like uneven texture and dullness.
