Our iconic global bestseller, this clinically proven daily exfoliating toner with salicylic acid quickly unclogs pores & controls oil for clear, glowing skin.
After cleansing and toning, apply the 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant over face and neck with fingers or a cotton pad. Do not rinse. Next, apply your serums and treatments. Then, as the last step in your routine, apply the Youth-Extending Daily Hydrating Fluid SPF 50 liberally to your face and neck 15 minutes before sun exposure. Re-apply as needed throughout the day.
Pro tip for exfoliating: Start slowly at first. Use the exfoliant every other day and note your skin's response, then increase usage up to twice a day.
It’s best to gradually build up use of a BHA exfoliant. Start by using your exfoliant once every other day and then increase usage up to once or twice daily, based on your skin’s response. You need to experiment a bit to see what suits your skin best. During the day, always use a moisturiser with a broad-spectrum sunscreen rated SPF 30 or greater. Your skin will in fact be slightly more sensitive to sunlight when using an exfoliant, so the chance of sunburn and sun damage is slightly higher so take care to spread SPF evenly and reapply every two hours.

Given 2% BHA Liquid’s fluid texture, many people think of it as a toner, but its formulation isn’t meant to do what traditional toners do; instead, the toner consistency of this liquid exfoliates built-up dead skin, unclogs pores and hydrates to boost glow. Paula’s Choice toners add vital skin-replenishing ingredients immediately after cleansing, before exfoliating, to hydrate, refresh and rebalance. Our toners also work to remove last traces of make-up and sunscreen that may have been missed during cleansing.
Using SPF in your skincare routine is essential for protecting against UV rays, which are the biggest cause of visible ageing signs like dark spots and wrinkles. Regardless of the weather, applying a day cream with at least SPF 30 every day helps maintain healthy-looking skin and prevents further damage. Additionally, SPFs often contain antioxidants and moisturising ingredients, enhancing overall skin health.
