Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant 118ml

although it does feel slightly oily when applying it, it sinks in and dries down on the skin. Seeing as it is an BHA-exfoliating acid, I think it will dry out your skin if you don't use a moisturizer on the top. The way I use it is apply it on my brake out prone areas (chin area and nose) every day in the evening. Let it sink in for a few minutes until the oiliness had dissipated and then do the rest of my skincare routine with a moisturizer to top it off. If you have sensitive skin maybe start by using it twice a week, then every other day, and maybe even more frequently if needed. You can also use it in your morning routine, but I think twice a day will be overkill for your skin. The Paula's choice customer service team are also very helpful if you have questions about how to use there products.

You can use vitamin c with niacinamide and niacinamide with salicylic acid but you cannot use salicylic acid with vitamin c as it lessons it’s effects. 

Hi, Please apply once or twice daily after cleansing and toning. Thanks

I would guess not, it didn’t happen to me anyway

I never had any issues with drying. It works well as an exfoliant but isn’t over drying. I’d introduce it slowly once or twice a week and then increase usage. 

I think it depends on your skin type. I use it every other evening and see good results.
