Paula's Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant Pads, Pack of 3 — Salicylic Acid Pre-Soaked Travel Pads for Pores & Smooth Texture

Paula's Choice SKIN PERFECTING 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant pads are pre-soaked salicylic-acid treatment pads designed to clear pores, smooth texture, and brighten skin anywhere you go.

These travel-ready pads deliver the brand’s bestselling 2% BHA formula in individually wrapped, no-mess pads that simplify your exfoliation routine. Each pack contains ten single-use pads, and this listing includes three boxes—ideal for keeping a set at home, in your bag, and at the gym. The gentle, leave-on liquid clears pore congestion while refining skin surface and helping preparations for makeup or other skincare steps.

How do these pads fit into my daily routine?

Use one pad after cleansing on dry skin, avoiding the immediate eye area. They work as a leave-on exfoliant, so you don’t rinse; follow with your serums and moisturizer. For beginners, start with every other day and increase frequency as tolerated.

• Apply once daily or every other day depending on sensitivity
• Use after cleansing and before serums/moisturizer
• Leave on—no rinsing required
• Avoid eye area and freshly irritated skin

What skin concerns can these pads address?

The salicylic acid (BHA) targets clogged pores and helps reduce the look of blackheads and enlarged pores while promoting smoother texture. They also help gently remove dull surface cells so skin appears brighter and more even-toned over time.

• Unclogs pore buildup that can cause blackheads
• Smooths fine lines and rough texture
• Brightens dull, uneven skin tone
• Safe for face, neck and body use

Are these pads suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The formula is formulated to be effective yet gentle when used correctly; however, sensitive skin types should introduce it gradually. If you use other actives (retinoids, strong acids), adjust frequency to avoid irritation.

• Begin with less frequent use to test tolerance
• Reduce combined use with other strong exfoliants or retinoids
• Stop use if persistent irritation occurs
• Paula's Choice recommends patch testing when in doubt

What makes the pre-soaked pad format convenient?

Individually wrapped pads eliminate spills and measuring while offering sanitary, single-use dosing—perfect for travel, the gym, or busy mornings. The compact packets are TSA-friendly and keep the formula fresh until needed.

• TSA-friendly individual packets for travel
• No liquid bottles to spill or measure
• Quick, mess-free application on the go
• Three boxes provide multiple refill locations

Who this is for: These pads are designed for people looking to reduce pore congestion, blackheads, and rough texture without a complicated routine—ideal for those who prefer quick, effective steps and need a travel-ready format. They suit oily, combination, and blackhead-prone skin and can be incorporated into most skincare regimens with proper introduction and sun-protective follow-up.
