Beauty decoded's opinion

An excellent glycolic acid-based exfoliant, it is effective without being too irritating. The texture is pleasant and it has multiple indications. It can be used to improve complexion radiance and diminish certain imperfections. Salicylic acid products are very good, but the maximum percentage of BHA in a product is 2%, so it's sometimes useful to use a glycolic acid exfoliant, which doesn't have the same limitations. This exfoliant is also interesting for anti-aging. The only drawback is that you need to wait until it has been fully absorbed before continuing with layering, otherwise it may fluff up. Also, be careful if you have sensitive or sensitized skin.
 If you are new to fruit acids, it is essential to test this product by spreading the Paula's Choice 8 % AHA exfoliating gel every other day. If your skin If you feel you can handle it, increase the frequency to once or twice a day.

After the cleaning and lotioning steps, apply a small amount of the product Paula's choice on your face, avoiding your eyelids. Do not rinse off. Follow with thicker textures such as a moisturizing cream.
