What should you know about Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting BHA Liquid Peeling?

Salicylic acid helps shed surface cells and can move through oily pore material. Mild dryness or flaking may follow, particularly when the product is used too often or layered with other active ingredients. Peeling Skin can also reflect Sunburn, Psoriasis, Athlete's Foot, irritation, or another cause unrelated to the product. Peeling that is widespread, painful, itchy, or recurrent should not be explained away as normal exfoliation.

Apply a thin layer only as directed to clean, dry, intact skin, avoiding the eye area, lips, and nostrils. If your skin is new to acids, use it less often and moisturise afterward. Do not pick flakes or combine it with several scrubs, retinoids, or strong exfoliants. Pause use on sunburned, cracked, or actively inflamed skin, and protect exposed areas from sunlight. Reintroduce it only after the skin has settled and you know a clinician considers it appropriate.

Stop and rinse if there is intense burning, marked swelling, blistering, or a rapidly spreading rash. Seek urgent help for breathing trouble, facial swelling, or eye pain. Arrange an assessment when peeling persists after stopping, forms painful cracks, produces discharge, or affects the scalp, palms, soles, or large areas.

Ask whether the peeling is product irritation or an underlying condition, how often the liquid should be used, and which products should be separated from it. Discuss moisturiser choice and when sun exposure or procedures should be avoided.
