Gentle, Hydrating Exfoliation for Sensitive Skin

Paula's Choice CALM 1% BHA Liquid Exfoliant offers a refined, leave-on approach designed for delicate skin. The formula blends salicylic acid at 1% with hydrating ingredients and soothing actives to help clear dull buildup and refine texture, all while protecting the skin's barrier. The product is formulated with an optimized pH of 3.5-3.8 to keep the components working consistently and minimize irritation.

In addition to exfoliation, skin-calming allantoin adds an extra touch of soothing comfort. The lightweight treatment fits into daily routines without fragrance or unnecessary additives.
