Ingredients Side-by-side
Preservative 5 Benefits 4 Concerns
Salicylic Acid (also known as beta hydroxy acid or BHA) is one of the most well-known ingredients for treating skin that struggles with blackheads and acne. It helps to exfoliate both the skin's surface and pores, and also acts as an anti-inflammatory agent.
Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.
Butylene Glycol (or BG) is used within cosmetic products for a few different reasons:
Arginine is an amino acid that is important for human development. Your body uses is it to produce hair keratin and skin collagen.
Allantoin plays a role in soothing and moisturizing the skin. Because of this, it is often added to products with strong active ingredients.
Glycerin is already naturally found in your skin. It helps moisturize and protect your skin.
Centella Asiatica Extract (Centella) is derived from an herb native to Southeast Asia. It is famous for its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties.
Malpighia Emarginata Fruit Extract contains antioxidants and polysaccharides. Antioxidants protect your skin from free-radical damage.
6 Benefits 3 Concerns
Lactic Acid is an AHA that is derived from fermenting lactose, a carbohydrate from milk. It removes the top layer of old and dead skin cells and helps increase cell turnover.
7 Benefits 2 Concerns
Glycolic Acid is arguably the most famous AHA with a ton of research to back up its benefits.
Potassium Sorbate is a preservative used to prevent yeast and mold in products. It is commonly found in both cosmetic and food products.
Sodium Benzoate is a preservative. It's used in both cosmetic and food products to inhibit the growth of mold and bacteria. It is typically produced synthetically.
4 Benefits 2 Concerns
Citric Acid is an AHA derived from citrus fruits (think oranges, lemons, and limes!).
Hypochlorous Acid is created from dissolving chlorine in water. It is a weak acid that has antimicrobial properties. Due to its ability to kill bacteria, it can be used to treat acne. We recommend speaking with a professional if you have any concerns or questions.

My holygrail exfoliator, this product cleared my skin quickly after a terrible breakout of whiteheads from another product. My skin texture has also improved and my pimples heal quicker. Unlike a lot of exfoliators I've tried, zero irritation, not even tingling. It absorbs well with no sticky finish it does have a weird texture (that I clearly don't know how to describe well) almost like dry water? (Doesn't make sense I know lol) There's also a slight scent, nothing overwhelming but that typically "chemical" smell. The main problem is the price for the shipping (if you live outside the US, if you're in the US this isn't a problem) is extremely expensive ($40) so I did buy a few in bulk (as well as other items) to reduce shipping costs over time.

paulas choice liquid BHA, but better...? :0
i used to be a PC girlie but the prices have gone a bit out of control. after seeing dr. dray recommend this product as a "dupe", i got it after finishing my PC bottle. i purged a little for maybe 2 days (small pimples, quickly went away) and since then the effect has been the same as PC! i'd argue slightly better because - in my experience - it's less irritating/drying and contains AHA, which my skin loves, so i dont risk drying out as often as i used to! i wouldn't say 'hydrating', but my skin doesn't feel as bare-bones as PC made it. also way cheaper ;)

I’ve seen a great improvement in my skin after the first couple uses. Just an fyi, since hypochlorous acid is chlorine dissolved in water, it does have a choline smell, but when it dries, the smell goes away.
