Paula's Choice CLEAR Anti-Redness Exfoliating Solution - 2% Salicylic Acid

Overview

Paula's Choice CLEAR Anti-Redness Exfoliating Solution is a fragrance-free liquid exfoliant formulated with 2% salicylic acid. Designed for use on the face, it aims to support clearer skin by addressing mild to moderate breakouts, refining pore appearance, and diminishing the look of post-breakout redness. The water-light texture is intended to feel comfortable on a range of skin types, including those with heightened sensitivity.

Why this may fit your routine

This gentle, leave-on formula is crafted to slip into daily skincare without the bulk of physical scrubs. When combined with the rest of Paula’s Choice CLEAR regimen, it forms a cohesive approach to managing breakouts while keeping fragrance out of the equation.

• 2% Salicylic Acid for targeted exfoliation: Helps clear pores and may reduce the appearance of blemishes without mechanical scrubbing.
• Redness relief and sensitivity compatibility: A fragrance-free, light texture that is designed with redness-prone and sensitive skin in mind.
• Hydrates and smoothes for a more even texture: Hydrating actives work to maintain moisture while removing dead skin cells, aiming for a calmer surface with continued use.
• Part of a complete CLEAR regimen: Best results may come from integrating with the Pore Normalizing Cleanser, Daily Skin Clearing Treatment, and Ultra-Light Daily Hydrating Fluid SPF 30+.

Usage guidance focuses on comfort and consistency. After cleansing, apply a small amount to affected areas. If you wear sunscreen or other actives, consider spacing routines to minimize irritation. As with any routine adjustment, monitor how your skin responds and adjust frequency as needed.

Who this could suit

If you’re dealing with occasional to persistent breakouts, visible pore concerns, or lingering post-breakout redness, this step may be a candidate to test within a fragrance-free routine. Results can vary by person, and steady use over several weeks is a common user-reported timeline for noticing changes.
