Paula’s Choice CALM 1% Sensitive Skin BHA Exfoliant, Salicylic Acid Lotion for Large, Clogged Pores, Calms + Soothes Redness, Suitable for Rosacea-Prone & Eczema-Prone Skin, Fragrance-Free, 3.3 Fl Oz

This is my holy grail. I have small bumps all over my cheeks and this is one of the only things that has helped. It's gentle enough that I use it at least once a day, it helps get rid of my bumps and smooth out my skin. Highly recommend.

As I’ve gotten older into my forties, I have developed extremely sensitive skin. Dry in some areas, not in others. None of my face is really consistent as far as texture. This product was recommended to me from a friend dealing with the onset of rosacea and she was surprised at how the 1% salicylic acid was even effective yet gentle enough for her. After trying a three other products designed for exfoliation for sensitive skin (a grueling process), this one has been a game changer for my skin type. It does tingle at first when applying, then you might feel a slight tightening of the face because of the small amount of salicylic acid. This is completely safe and normal. It is not too strong, and I could see results within the first week. I have been consistently using this for about 7 months now and my skin looks and feels fresher and smoother. It's not a miracle worker, but compared to other products, it's far more effective. Since I live in a dry desert climate, I choose to use it only as often as my skin will tolerate it which is 2 or 3 times a week. It has been a process and my skin went through purges and changes before I could reap the full benefits. A good thing to remember is when you're trying skin care products, specifically exfoliants, is to be patient and consistent. And don't forget to moisturize. A lot!

I’ll start off by saying majority of skin care products irritate the life out of my skin. I use this 2-3 weeks and have no issues. I do like that this product is more of a “gel” consistency.

Love it ! Check my pic with all the products I bought together (((this does not dry my skin out)))As I’ve mentioned on my other reviews of all these products i bought from Paula’s choice—-there’s two different kind of sensitive—one is you have a pre existing skin condition like eczema—the other is sensitive to ingredients ((I’m the second))As you know pha is the one that out of all exfoliates sensitive skin can handle—but this stuff is so intuned to sensitivity that only using it once a week is perfect—it’s doing its job but not irritating my skin in anyway—I’m just going through the normal purgeI’ve said it before but I’ll say it again this company really understands a woman’s skin and issues genius the ingredients they put togetherLearn skin do research don’t go off on a whem and you will find the correct help through this company

I have sensitive skin and mild rosacea. I am 57 years old. I have had such a hard time and been so afraid to try any kind of exfoliant with any kind of chemical in it because I thought you couldn’t use any of that stuff with rosacea. Thank goodness that some YouTube influencers set me straight. I have been using this product every morning for almost a year now. With the kind of rosacea I have, the area on both sides of my mouth becomes literally feeling.like sandpaper. As long as I use this, my skin stays smooth and soft. I won’t use another company’s product. (If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.) it lasts a long time. It’s easy to use and gives great results. I’ll keep buying it.

I use this product every other day and I’ve noticed a difference in the texture of my skin. I definitely recommend this if you have sensitive skin.

this is a repurchase.

It's hard to find a chemical exfoliator that's effective but not irritating to sensitive skin, but I'm liking the results with this so far. There is a slight tingling on the cheeks when applying, which is expected, but nothing truly irritating. Just be patient with the results because of the lower percentage of salicylic acid, the purge may take some time to really get going. My skin was pretty congested and the purge didn't really reach it's peak until the second month of use, nearing the third month now I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.
