This review suggests that the product is particularly effective for oily skin types. The user expresses overall satisfaction despite minor drawbacks like a slight tingling feeling and a less-than-ideal fragrance. For those with oily skin looking for a suitable product, this could be a promising option to consider.

There's a slight tingling sensation, and the scent isn't the best, but that's about it.

It worked well for my oily skin, and I'm quite satisfied!

BHA+AHA+PHA 리퀴드

I didn't really have any complaints. The only slight inconvenience was that it was a bit tricky to dispense the product from the small-sized bottle

When I apply this once a week before bed, I wake up to noticeably softer skin the next morning

It works well if you apply the pad to areas with dead skin cells and leave it on for a while.

The price is a bit high for the amount you get. That's somewhat disappointing.

Effectively removes dead skin cells. Improves skin texture without irritation.

Always apply toner first, then put this on your face. Never use it on bare skin. Also, avoid using it on days when your skin feels irritated or you have blemishes. Skip using vitamin serums or high-concentration skincare products on exfoliation days. Use this for exfoliation and soothing hydration in the evening, then use retinol or vitamin C in the morning. Most importantly, always remember to apply sunscreen.

- If you use slightly too much, it can really sting your skin. Plus, maybe due to irritation, more dead skin cells appeared a day or two later.
- Make sure to use just the right amount.
- If you control the quantity well, it's the ultimate daily exfoliation treatment.
- It may cause a tingling sensation.

- After using this for two days, my skin texture became incredible.
- The dead skin cell removal effect is definitely noticeable.
- I'll likely repurchase.
- Using an appropriate amount of this is better for skincare than using a peeling gel once a week when washing your face.

It's best to use this as an exfoliating toner only occasionally, when you're dealing with a serious build-up of dead skin cells.

The scent is reminiscent of vinegar, which suggests it could be quite irritating to the skin. It also has a slightly slippery texture. Those prone to redness should absolutely avoid using this product.

This works well for those with thicker, less sensitive skin. When used as an exfoliating toner, it leaves your skin feeling thoroughly cleansed and effectively removes dead skin cells, leaving your complexion smooth and radiant.

The instructions say to use it 1-2 times a day, but I'm using it once a day, about 3 times a week.

I'm not quite sure what the right amount to use is. Looking at the small size of the product, it seems like you should only use a little, but when you apply it, it disappears quickly - I can't tell if it's absorbing or evaporating like alcohol.

If I just leave it on, it's fine, but if I apply an emulsion right after, there's a slight tingling sensation. However, it doesn't cause any blemishes or redness. I think it's just the nature of the ingredients.

Here's my review after using it for over a month:

I've heard that BHA, AHA, and PHA are great for sebum control and dead skin cells. They're also supposed to help with brightening and wrinkle improvement, but I think I'll need to use it longer to see those effects.

I originally had oily skin and would get flaky when wearing makeup, but after using this product - whether it's due to the weather changing or not - I've noticed less visible dead skin cells when applying makeup.

The ingredients are good, and it's fragrance-free. When you apply it, it absorbs quickly and seems to disappear. The bottle has a double opening, so there's no worry about contamination, and it dispenses just a small amount to avoid waste.

The scent is quite unpleasant, and it might be a bit irritating for those with super sensitive skin

As soon as you use it, you can feel it clearing up blackheads and refining skin texture. The next day, you'll notice your skin feels noticeably smoother!

It might be irritating if you use it after exfoliating during cleansing. Even without exfoliating, it still allows makeup to apply well.

I was concerned about potential irritation, so I initially purchased the 30ml product. The full-size version seems quite large in comparison. Because of this, the price might appear high at first glance, but when you consider the volume, it's not actually that expensive.

The texture is similar to a toner... And it's unique that it has an inner cap like in the photo. Unlike other travel-sized skincare products, the cap won't get messy. Products without inner caps tend to spill inside the lid when rolling around, which can lead to contamination and potentially re-enter the product. I'm glad this one has an inner cap. I was a bit worried after seeing several reviews mentioning a tingling sensation, but when I used it without exfoliating during cleansing, I didn't experience any irritation at all. It absorbs into the skin quickly too. After applying this, I layered on various products including sunscreen, and everything glided on smoothly without pilling.

There was a slight tingling sensation, so I don't think it should be used too frequently.

It seems to manage dead skin cells well. I'd recommend this for oily skin types.

On days when my skin feels super sensitive, I soak a cotton pad and use it as a mask. If even that feels too harsh, I simply apply it after my toner. Then I lightly layer a mild serum and a thin layer of cream before bed. The next morning, any redness is gone and my skin texture is noticeably improved. I highly recommend this for anyone dealing with uneven skin texture.

I love how you can see the whiteheads and excess sebum being removed when you apply it with a loose-textured cotton pad!

My blackheads are quite stubborn, so I didn't notice any particular effect on them.

I have sensitive skin that tends to break out with blemishes overnight if I use products that don't suit me. So I was initially worried about using this exfoliating toner. However, after trying it, I didn't experience any blemishes. Impressively, after about three days of use, I noticed the rough texture around my eyes and nose became significantly smoother. It definitely refines my skin texture, making my makeup apply much better. This product works well for me, so I've been using it consistently.

Since Paula's Choice offers several types of exfoliants, it's best to choose one that suits your skin type.

While it's suitable for daily use, I haven't noticed any significant effects on blackheads.

This is a leave-on exfoliant that doesn't need to be washed off. Paula's Choice offers various formulations and ingredients in their exfoliants, and this one is a gentle liquid type containing BHA, AHA, and PHA. It's great because you can apply it both morning and evening without needing to rinse it off. I've been using AHA and BHA exfoliants from the same brand, but I switched to this new product after it was released. It's definitely less tingling and irritating. I think it would be perfect for beginners in chemical exfoliation!
