Paula's Choice CALM 1% BHA Liquid Exfoliant - Gentle Salicylic Acid for Sensitive, Rosacea-Prone Skin (3.3 oz)

Gentle, Leave-On Exfoliant for Sensitive Skin

Paula's Choice CALM 1% BHA Liquid Exfoliant is a non-abrasive, leave-on treatment designed to refine skin texture without disrupting the skin’s protective barrier. The lightweight liquid glides on smoothly, delivering a calm, refreshing feel as it absorbs, making it a practical addition to routines for sensitive skin or skin that reddens easily.
