Paula’s Choice AHA Liquid Exfoliant

This breakthrough AHA from the #1 exfoliation brand features a complex of gentle Alpha Hydroxy Acids that resurface & shed built-up layers of dead skin. This unique formula visibly rejuvenates the skin’s ability to renew and disrupt discoloration without causing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation on deeper skin tones. This exfoliant has an optimal pH range of 3.0–4.0.

“Alpha Hydroxy Acids have been proven to enhance exfoliation and prevent water loss without damaging skin’s barrier. Evidence suggests that these acids may improve the barrier by stimulating barrier-strengthening proteins and lipids that also boost hydration. “ Bryan Barron, Director of Research

Mandelic + Lactic Acid exfoliates skin’s surface, smooths texture, softens fine lines & brightens. Renewing ingredients like yarrow extract & a fermented antioxidant blend of cherry blossom, chocolate vine & yumberry support the skin’s microbiome & barrier while working beneath the skin’s surface for healthier cell turnover and younger-looking skin over time. The bottle for this product is made from 96% recycled plastic (excluding cap and orifice reducer).

Ingredient Spotlight:

6% Mandelic Acid: A water-soluble, gentle Alpha Hydroxy Acid whose larger molecular size slows penetration into the skin, allowing for progressive results with an extremely low risk of causing a stinging sensation.
2% Lactic Acid: A water-soluble, time-released amphoteric Alpha Hydroxy Acid that not only exfoliates the skin but also provides a surge of hydration. It also encourages the production of ceramides, leaving skin feeling plump and supple.
Yarrow Extract: A botanical powerhouse that soothes and calms helps restore skin’s natural defenses and enhances communication between skin’s chemical messengers (key neuropeptides) responsible for normal cell renewal.
Bio-Fermented Antioxidant Blend: A blend of cherry blossom, chocolate vine, and yumberry supports a healthy microbiome and skin barrier while improving uneven skin tone and reducing redness.
