About this item

  • GENTLE, LEAVE-ON EXFOLIATION: Harnessing 2% Salicylic Acid (BHA), this gentle-yet-effective, no-rinse formula clears breakouts, unclogs & minimizes pores, and helps to visibly fade red marks from past breakouts. This liquid exfoliator quickly reduces blackheads, white bumps, & acne without the skin-damaging effects of scrubs & brushes. PACKAGING MAY VARY.
  • Paula's Choice CLEAR Regular Strength Anti-Redness Exfoliating Solution gently reduces signs of redness and sensitivity. The weightless, water-light texture leaves your face feeling refreshed and clean while delivering potent blemish-fighting, pore-minimizing benefits all day long. It's suitable even for skin prone to cystic acne or sensitivity.
  • HYDRATE, BRIGHTEN & SMOOTH FINE LINES: Our unique, non-abrasive, leave-on exfoliant is gentle enough for daily use on all skin types. Exfoliates dead skin cells while clearing pores for a more even tone, plus it visibly reduces fine lines & wrinkles.
  • Paula's Choice CLEAR Regular Strength collection also includes the Pore Normalizing Cleanser with 0.5% Salicylic Acid, Daily Skin Clearing Treatment with 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide and our Ultra-Light Daily Hydrating Fluid SPF 30+.
  • SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING: As part of our pledge to the planet, we’re removing extra plastic from packaging, like shrink wrap.

Amazing stuff but the bottle leaks bad!

Amazing stuff but the bottle leaks bad!
This stuff is AMAZING. I use it with the Skin Balancing Oil-Reducing Cleanser and my really sensitive skin isn't irritated by it. Physical/abrasive exfoliants (including my Clarisonic w/ a sensitive skin brush and less expensive knock-offs) leave me with red patchy skin… I do use my brush a of couple times a week at night but with this, I don't have the same kind of flaky skin even in the dry winters. My flaky/ oily/dry/blotchyskin that was constantly broken out, I had a breakout that wouldn't clear up for over a month in the same spot & bumpy skin texture and horrible blackheads have cleared up. It's also lightened old acne scars.I’ve tried tons of other products before this. New things, things I used in the past that have cleared my skin up when I was in my teens and early-mid 20s all w/o luck. I’ve been hearing about this stuff for a few years now in skincare groups and it gets great reviews so I decided to give it a shot. I'm glad I did finally. I'm super protective of my bottles of this.Worth the extra bit of money. I spent so much more looking for something that would work until finding this.The 4 stars isn't a problem w/ the product. My problem is the bottle it’s in. I went out of town the day after I got it, so the bottle was basically full when I packed it. I could tell it leaking was going to be an issue if I didn’t tape it up.Both on the way to where I went and for my return flight, I duct taped it so much that getting it off took about 10 minutes. I made a seal inside the lid, taped every gap from the bottle to the cap, taped the cap shut, etc., and it STILL leaked. Before I left for my return flight, I had 2/3 bottle left. Got home, unpacked, I’m at 1/2 bottle or slightly less.I’m pretty irritated to have spent a going amount of money for it and then travel, tape it so there’s no way it should leak, but in a 5 days I have 1/2 bottle left because of it. It may work awesome but I’m sure there’s other products that do and don’t leak all over.I’ll post a picture of how much I taped it and it still leaked.(Edited to add stars because I love the product, it's one of the few things that keeps my skin clear — just beware when you travel & buy an empty travel size bottle & fill that up and pack it instead. I travel pretty often so I needed a solution, that works great. 🙂 Still rating 4/5 because of the bottle.)
