LOVE the acne products with the 2% BHA! I have had acne all of my 40 years and have tried EVERYTHING including Accutane. Nothing has worked as quickly or given me the results your products have in such a short time. My face is clear AND soft, not dry, tight, and red. I am so pleased!

Thank you Paula. For the first time in my life I have soft feeling, blemish free skin. I use the Skin Balancing Cleanser, Skin Balancing Toner, 2% Beta Hydroxy Acid Gel, and the Skin Balancing Moisture Gel. This is the first time in my life that I have ever used a moisturizer on a daily basis and without fearing breakouts. Thanks for the beautiful new skin and the confidence boost.

I have struggled w/acne since I was in 6th grade. I started seeing a dermatologist at age 11! I have tried Purpose soap, clindamycin, Cleocin, Benzoyl Peroxide, Retin A, tetracycline, minocyclin, doxacylin, minocyn, and more. I was on Accutane 3 times (yes THREE times!!!) and it worked every time, but my acne always ended up coming back. The 2% Beta Hydroxy Gel is the only thing that has worked & keeps my skin CLEAR. I use the Skin Balancing cleanser, toner, & oil free moisturizer & the Blemish Control lotion as well & my skin has NEVER LOOKED BETTER! It literally GLOWS! THANK YOU!!

Your products have made a tremendous difference in my life! I am 56 and have had acne since I was 13. I read your book and immediately bought the 2% Beta Hydroxy Acid Gel and 5% Benzoyl Peroxide. I follow your plan of combining those two with alternating applications of BHA and Retin-A (which I love because I've never developed a single wrinkle!). I have had no new breakouts, my skin looks clear and CLEAN (no blackheads). I also use your Skin Balancing Moisture Gel around my eyes. I cannot thank you enough for your efforts to help break the myths that advertising throws in our face (literally!).

I'm 58, and have been using Paula's 2% BHA gel and 8% AHA liquid faithfully for about 6 months (AHA at night, BHA during the day), and I suddenly realized how much smoother and clearer my skin has become. AND, when I had a facial at Red Door Spa yesterday, the esthetician said there was nothing she could recommend that I change about my skin care routine, and asked what I use!

I have been struggling with acne around my chin since going off the pill. This product, along with benzoyl peroxide really helped and the rest of my face looks silky and smooth. This is a great product and I can't wait to try the rest of your line. Thanks!

2% Beta Hydroxy Acid Gel |
|
Posted By: Ryan
|
|
Location: San Jose, CA United States

Comments:
This product exfoliates as advertised. However, it balls up unacceptably under all products I try to layer over it. The Weightless Body Treatment with 2% Beta Hydroxy Acid has the same problem, but to a lesser degree. The 2% Beta Hydroxy Acid lotion has superior texture and hydration to both of these.
Note from Paula's Choice Customer Care: Ryan, thank you for your feedback. Please remember that any product you aren't happy with can be returned for a full refund. We know that this "pilling" problem can happen with gel-type products but it doesn't happen for everyone. One of the way to prevent the pilling from happening is to allow the gel to absorb completely before applying anything else over it. If you have any questions please feel free to call us or contact us via live chat.

This gel is nothing short of a miracle. I've tried benzoyl peroxide, glycolic acid peels, lactic acid, you name it. Everyone of them dried and irritated my skin, and the blackheads came right back. This gel has made my skin clear, smooth, soft, and blackhead free. I wish I had found this product years ago. Thanks for saving my skin!

I use this after epilating my bikini area to prevent and quickly heal those irritating red spots. It also prevents ingrown hairs. I have tried many other products without success and have struggled with this problem for years. This is the one and only product that really works!

Comments:
I never had acne as a child...but starting last May I started getting bumps on my forehead, which later spread to my whole face. They just looked like bumps filled with pus, and not really red...more white. I tried researching to see what it was - and came up with closed comedones. I went to the dermatologist and she prescribed me Differin gel, but after hearing such bad reviews on the product, I searched around for other options. I read all the rave reviews about this product and decided to try. And let me just tell you - a year later - I am completely acne free! And it worked so fast too, you could really see differences within a week! It makes your skin SOOO smooth, it's really a godsend! thanks Paula!

I have tried and wasted hundreds (probably thousands!!) of dollars on skincare to treat my acne-prone and hyper-sensitive skin. This is the only product that cleared up my skin, kept it clear, and soothed it at the same time!! Thank you thank you thank you!

I'm a believer, Paula! My skin no longer feels dry and tight after cleansing and your salyclic acid is miles above any I've tried. Your AHA is also the perfect exfoliant - minimal irritation, maximum results. I always thought I had super dry skin. Now, my skin is still a little dry sometimes, but its miles away better! Who knew I was doing it to myself! My best friend still uses a bar of charcoal peppermint soap that she thinks will help her combination acne/dry skin. 'That's not acne,' I say, 'that is some intense irritation from the waxes and peppermint! I cringe to think how she must be so frustrated with her skin; meanwhile, my skin 'issues' have evaporated! I cant wait to try your skin lightener...Bye-bye freckles!!!!

The 2% Beta Hydroxy Acid Gel stays sticky on my skin regardless of the amount used and length of drying time. 2% Lotion is a far superior product.

I'm 36 and wished I had this during my teenage years...had bad acne...used retin-A and took tetracycline. Differin worked great but my skin is too sensitive. Currentlyl, I have problems with breakouts from allergies. I tried it on my perioral dermatitas. They are like little white itchy pimples that are caused by allergies to dustmites; and this product worked beautifully. First time since I started using this gel...I have been going without make-up! No more coverup or heavy makeup to hide blemishes. Thank you Paula for giving me beautiful skin for the first time in 25 years!!

Tried this and the liquid because I'll run out of my Weightless Body Treatment before winter! The gel is superior in texture to the liquid! However, I prefer the WBT (thus 4 stars). BHA 2% products have done wonders for my skin!

Frustratingly sticky and tacky |

Comments:
The stickiness of this product is a real time. The product never soaks in and my skin remains tacky-feeling until it is washed off. I absolutely can't wear makeup over it.
I'm going to try the lotion as I see another user with the same problem claims it does not have this issue.

Comments:
The 2% beta hydroxy acid (BHA) gel is the latest (along with the skin recovery moisturizer) product I've ordered from Paula's Choice line. I can't rave enough about either. My skin is smooth, clear and radiant (no more small bump acne like feeling on my forehead which was most prominent and bothersome near the hairline) after only a few days' use! I should have ordered this a long time ago. The moisturizer has totally eliminated the dry, flaky skin on the folds of my nose. Thanks once more Paula!!! I now use the one step cleanser, skin balancing toner, super antioxidant concentrate, and skin balancing super antioxidant mattifying concentrate. Next weekend project: clearing my bathroom of any and all facial care products which do not read Paula's Choice on them.

Comments:
I've wanted for so long to write this kind of review. I've been disappointed so many times by other products (some of them big name) claiming to do what this product actually does. I think it's taken *years* of junk out of my pores. Blemishes are reduced to almost nothing (yay) but the texture is so much better as well. I've been using it for a few months and my skin *still* continues to improve every day. The only reason I gave the product 4 stars instead of 5 is that it is a little more sticky than I care for. But I put it on light and only use it at night and the benefits far outway a little bit of sticky. I would recommend this product to anyone with clogged pores and oily skin that doesn't seem to respond to anything else.

Your 2% BHA gel is one of the 2 keys I've found for treating the keratosis pilaris on my upper arms and legs.
The other key was using a body wash with a body puff instead of bar soap.

When I first started using this product, it did decrease the shine on my face for a good portion of the day but then I noticed it kind of stopped working for me and the shine came back sooner, also noticed hard like bumps along my chin and hairline, stopped using it
