Never review anything — this product is amazing
First off, I’ve dealt with horrible acne and cystic acne for nearly 10 years. I’m on medication (spirolactone) and have been for 4 years that works great! But sometimes, I get these little bumps (Mila) all over my face. I did some research to get rid of this and this product came up so I tried it. Within 2 weeks my skin is absolutely perfect and smooth. I put it all over once a day even though it’s a spot treatment. RUN DO NOT WALK if you have little bumps and mila. I’m so so shocked by this product! Sorry this photos kind of suck but hopefully you get the point!

This serum literally leaves my face looking 10 years younger! It gives a smooth, non-oily sheen, especially on my forehead. I'm a young 61-yr-old who is adjusting to life without my lifetime of oily skin, & accepting that gentle exfoliation keeps skin-cell turnover on track. No more clogged pores with this product! I wish Paula's Choice would offer it in larger-sized tubes that would last longer!

WOW !! This product is AMAZING !!
I had really bad sebaceous hyperplasia lumps suddenly appear after a procedure & it was a ghastly sight as just under my eye in tear trough area . I lost all confidence . I googled for remedy’s and tried Apple cider vinegar to dissolve them but did nothing at all .
I stumbled across Paulas Choice BHA 9 in Google search reviews and read a couple of really positive feedbacks . It is a bit pricey but I thought if it works for me too then it’s worth it !! I had to try as I was at my wits end as confidence really fading . OMG within just 2 days I started to see effects . The lumps were shrinking before my eyes !! Im still only on day 6 & they are really really shrinking still . Still slightly there but so much flatter & for just 6 days of use this is amazing . So hopefully within the next week they will have completely gone !! Woop Woop !! Ive been massaging into the area am & pm .
I don’t normally leave reviews but I truly truly
recommend this product & want to let anyone know who is also suffering with sebaceous hyperplasia that there truly is hope !!
Thank you Paulas Choice , Do NOT stop making this !! It’s a godsend !! Thank you XXX

3.0 out of 5 stars Way too runny!
Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2015
Verified Purchase
Below is my original review but I upgraded to 3 stars after using it a week. I had previously received a sample in a tiny vial. I found I can pump some product into the vial and then pick up a tiny bit with a Q-tip and then apply it so I'm not wasting a bunch every time I use it. I still don't like that it doesn't dry and stick to the skin because you can only use it at night and it wipes right off on the pillow as soon as you roll onto your side. I'll use it til it's gone but still won't repurchase.

I love Paula's Choice and I was so excited to see this product, especially because of the high percentage of BHA. I expected it to work really well, and much faster than the usual 2% BHA products you see everywhere. SO disappointed! You can't control how much is dispensed and the little pump pumps out way too much product for just one zit. Then it runs everywhere and half the product is wasted. Then it doesn't stay on where you put it. It runs off. Then the zit is still there after you wake up. THEN it costs WAY too much! The thick, cheap 2% gels are way better! I can't even believe it.

5.0 out of 5 stars It works!
Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2023

Over the past couple of years I started getting skin tags, bumps, and dark spots on my neck. I tried lots of products that did not work and got the phone number for a dermatologist, but after online research read about this product. It was expensive for the small tube and I have sensitive skin, but it was my last try before making an expensive dermatologist appointment. Last dermatologist appointment about 8 years ago they froze and scraped spots off and then I had awful sores and red spots for over 6 months! My skin is sensitive and heals slowly. So I ordered this product before invasive therapy. This product has almost no smell and comes out like an oil and is easy to apply. After one week the bumps seemed less red, after 2 weeks the red was gone, and by 3 weeks it had cleared all the bumps and my neck was smooth again. Product is gone and I will order more. Would highly recommend this product!

I picked up this product for sebaceous hyperplasia and it literally did nothing at all. I figured I could instead try to use it to reduce post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and various blemishes I've had. It did nothing. This is just overpriced salicylic acid. You're better off buying a $6 bottle of Clean & Clear face wash--and that won't dry out your face as much. This might be the biggest waste of money I've ever spent.

I have never had good results until this product. I had some small white bumps around my eyes and lips called Fordyce spots and wanted a topical treatment that I could manage. My spots have completely disappeared and I honestly have never had anything that works. Absolutely blown away and I never write reviews either.
