Paula Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant Travel Size 1oz – Salicylic Acid Face Treatment for Blackheads and Pores

Why This Product Stands Out

Paula Choice 2 percent BHA Liquid Exfoliant is one of the most celebrated skincare products on the market — and for dermatological reasons. Unlike harsh physical scrubs that cause micro-tears, this leave-on liquid exfoliant uses salicylic acid (BHA) to gently exfoliate inside the pore, unclogging blackheads and reducing enlarged pores. The travel size (1 oz) is perfect for new users to try before committing to the full-size bottle, or for keeping your skincare routine consistent while traveling.

Key Features

• Non-Abrasive Exfoliation: 2 percent BHA (beta hydroxy acid/salicylic acid) exfoliates gently without micro-tears or irritation
• Deep Pore Cleansing: Penetrates inside the pore to dissolve blackheads, clear congestion, and reduce pore size
• Anti-Aging Benefits: Visibly smooths fine lines and wrinkles while brightening uneven skin tone
• Daily Use Formula: Gentle enough for once or twice daily use on all skin types
• Fragrance-Free: No added fragrances, dyes, or drying alcohols — just effective, science-backed ingredients
• Travel-Ready: TSA-friendly 1 oz size keeps your skincare consistent wherever you go

Design and Quality

Paula Choice formulates with integrity — no fragrance, no fluff, no unnecessary irritants. The BHA exfoliant uses a carefully balanced pH of 3.2-3.8, ensuring optimal efficacy for salicylic acid to exfoliate effectively while remaining gentle. The lightweight liquid texture absorbs quickly without leaving residue.

Who It Is For

Ideal for those struggling with blackheads, enlarged pores, uneven texture, or mild acne. Works beautifully for oily, combination, and normal skin types. The travel size makes it perfect for skincare minimalists, travelers, or anyone wanting to experience the benefits before investing in the full 4 oz bottle.

Usage Tips

After cleansing, apply a thin layer to a cotton pad and sweep across face (avoiding the eye area). Use once daily to start, then increase to twice daily as tolerated. Always follow with moisturizer and sunscreen in the morning — BHA increases sun sensitivity.
