Another BAD allergic reaction here. Paula's Choice should be aware that these cases aren't isolated. I also used this product for 1+ years and then slowly started to get red scaly eczema-like skin...

I use this foam mainly to fight back blackheads on my nose and it really works. I apply it all over the face maybe once a week, maybe once in 10 days and 3-4 times a week only on my nose. It is...

Ditto here as the rest of the ladies experiencing allergic reaction. My face and neck broke out into a welt-like rash with extreme itch. Benadryl and hydrocortisone cream cleared it up in roughly 2...

Big NOPE to this one. I consider this my arch nemesis in the skin care world. I used the prescribed amount of product in the way it was meant to be applied. After using it once, my right eye lid...

I don't use this on my face. I use this on my chest, neck, and back 2-3 times weekly. I suffered from acne on my chest and back in my late teens and early 20s. My back Acne is now clear but...

I bought this at the same time as the Alpha-Hydrox AHA cream and like that much better. I know that BHA and AHA do different things, and I bought this because everyone says if you have issues with...

TL;DR - be really wary about allergic reactions! I bought this product a little less than a year ago, would use it every 2 weeks or so, and found it exfoliated well. It would always leave my...

Folks, be very, very aware and listen to the reviews cautioning an allergic reaction. This is no joke and is very serious. I used this product for about two years and it was amazing. I woke up with...

This seems to be a fairly unique product because of the higher concentration of BHA and the fact that it's a foam in a pump container instead of a gel or lotion. It's 4% versus the 1% or 2% in her...
