Ask any former acne sufferer what their cure-all treatment is and you’ll most likely get an array of answers.
That’s because no two complexions are the same and individuals get inflamed and pimply skin for various reasons – environmental and hormonal issues included.
But one set of products that has earned a reputation for being the best in the field of problem skin therapy is Paula’s Choice ‘Skin Perfecting exfoliator with 2 per cent BHA’ or the slightly less intense ‘Calm 1 per cent BHA’ exfoliant.

What is BHA in skincare?
Beta-Hydroxy Acid (BHA) is an oil loving acid. BHA is preferred for oily, acne-prone skin and for treating blackheads and whiteheads.
BHA can get through the oil that clogs pores and helps to normalise the lining of the pore that contributes to acne.

There are claims online that suggest the surface skin scrubbers remove grease, dirt and build up in the epidermis, considerably diminishing acne and scarring for $37 a piece.
One woman said she tried the 2% exfoliator followed by a Paula’s Choice toner and watched her face change considerably in 10 days.
‘A while back I got a treatment that was intended to rejuvenate the skin. My skin reacted very, very poorly and the picture you see on the left is months afterwards when it started to settle down,’ she said.
‘It felt horrible, I was extremely self conscious and I thought I ruined my skin for good. Cue in Paula’s Choice skincare and the results speak for itself,’ another said (pictured)

‘The products I’ve been using have literally saved my skin. I have no visible breakouts, my pores are smaller, my overall texture is even, and the skin in general is just brighter! I hope this is helpful to those that struggle with problem skin.’
And she’s not alone. A wave of other customers came forward to talk about their experience with the exfoliators.
‘I had texture and pore problems and really bad redness that even my old fave skincare products weren’t helping with,’ another lady explained.

The website explains that the leave-on gel is a ‘completely non-abrasive way to remove layers of dull skin to reveal younger skin hiding underneath’
‘So I decided to start from scratch and slowly introduce products that I truly need. My skin still isn’t perfect but it got SO MUCH better. Thanks Paula’s Choice.’
A third said: ‘After 30 minutes-ish my skin completely changed… It had a glow, not oily. My skin just changed. It’s hard to explain but this exfoliant will be with me for life.’

‘It also shrinks clogged pores, diminishes the appearance of wrinkles, and improves skin tone,’ they said.
