Which Paula's Choice BHA to choose?

[Sophia]

I heard so many good reviews about Paula's Choice BHA products (exfoliants) and I really wanna try it because I have many blackheads on my face. I only use a gentle scrub from Avene but it doesn't any job on my skin, it's like nothing! But I don't know if I should use the 1% or the 2% BHA and in which texture, the gel,lotion or the liquid one?

My skin is sensitive, oily and acne prone with lots of blackheads, and I have many dry patches on my cheeks, around my nose and around mu mouth.

What do you think?

I bought my daughters Paula's Choice. I bought them the 2%. Both in the gel since they have more normal skin. I use a 2% liquid since I have oily skin and she states that the liquid is better for oily skin. The gel and liquid seem to be a better choice for those with persistent problems while the lotion is for someone who has occasional outbreaks.

Have you used a BHA before? If you haven't and you have sensitive skin, I would go with the 1%. Also, start off slow. I had my daughters go every other night and work up to twice a day. You can then work up to the 2%.

You should be able to find the information on Paula's site since I'm paraphrasing from her catalog. Pretty pathetic that I had my Paula catalog by the computer.

Yes, it would start off with the 1% first if you've never used BHA before.

Are you able to get samples off her website to try them before you buy them?
