Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant
Key ingredient: Salicylic acid
Why it may help
Ingredient fit
Salicylic acid can help loosen oil and buildup inside pores, which may support blemishes, visible pores, and uneven texture. It can be drying, so slower use is often enough.
Detail
What to know
A leave-on salicylic acid exfoliant can make sense when oiliness, clogged-looking pores, or rough texture are the main concerns. Start a few nights per week, avoid stacking it with other strong exfoliants at first, and judge it by tolerance and consistency rather than price tier.
Product examples are not ranked by expected results. Price, texture, active strength, and tolerance all matter, and a lower price product can still be the better fit.
