Paula'S Choice Calm 1% Sensitive Skin Bha Liquid Scrub Lotion With Salicylic Acid For Enlarged And Clogged Pores, Soothes And Relieves Redness, Suitable For Skin With

I’ve been using Paula’s Choice products for years now after seeing several dermatologists recommend them. This BHA lotion is mild and calming to my skin. I get rosacea so my skin can get bumpy, red and irritated bakery easily and this is mild enough to not irritate but also helps keep it smooth, calm and even. Definitely recommend for anyone with problem skin. I also use several other of their products like cleanser, vitamin C serum, and moisturizers.

As I’ve gotten older into my forties, I have developed extremely sensitive skin. Dry in some areas, not in others. None of my face is really consistent as far as texture. This product was recommended to me from a friend dealing with the onset of rosacea and she was surprised at how the 1% salicylic acid was even effective yet gentle enough for her. After trying a three other products designed for exfoliation for sensitive skin (a grueling process), this one has been a game changer for my skin type. It does tingle at first when applying, then you might feel a slight tightening of the face because of the small amount of salicylic acid. This is completely safe and normal. It is not too strong, and I could see results within the first week. I have been consistently using this for about 7 months now and my skin looks and feels fresher and smoother. It's not a miracle worker, but compared to other products, it's far more effective. Since I live in a dry desert climate, I choose to use it only as often as my skin will tolerate it which is 2 or 3 times a week. It has been a process and my skin went through purges and changes before I could reap the full benefits. A good thing to remember is when you're trying skin care products, specifically exfoliants, is to be patient and consistent. And don't forget to moisturize. A lot!

At first using this I broke out but my face does that with new products. I stayed consistent and now it’s cleared up my face. I have very sensitive skin so I was on the fence but I’m glad I bought it.

I have rosacea so so I only use this twice a week. Working great so far - no irritation at all.

This Paula's product has been a staple of mine for many years. Careful use of this and other products gives me the benefits of multiple-step skin care, without irritating my rosacea. While less sensitive skin can use this daily, I get best results (and clear, smooth skin!) with just one or two nights a week. I apply to freshly cleansed skin, and after it soaks in, I apply my regular moisturizer.
