Paula's Choice-Exfoliation Icons Kit

Product Description

Experience brighter, smoother, and clearer skin with the Paula’s Choice Exfoliation Icons Kit — a curated duo of two iconic exfoliating formulas designed to refine texture, unclog pores, and even skin tone. This expertly paired set features two best-selling liquid exfoliants that work together to reveal healthier-looking skin by removing dead skin cells both on the surface and deep within pores. Ideal for all skin types, this kit is a perfect introduction to multi-level chemical exfoliation or an effective addition to your skincare routine.

What’s Included

• Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant (30ml / 1 fl oz) – A salicylic acid exfoliant that penetrates deep into pores to dissolve buildup, helping reduce breakouts and visibly refine pores.

• Skin Perfecting 6% Mandelic Acid + 2% Lactic Acid Liquid Exfoliant (30ml / 1 fl oz) – A dual-AHA treatment that gently resurfaces skin texture while improving clarity and tone.

How to Use

1. Cleanse: Start with a gentle facial cleanser and fully dry your skin.

2. Apply AHA (Mandelic + Lactic Acid): Using fingers or a cotton pad, apply evenly to face and neck, avoiding direct contact with eyes. This exfoliant works on the surface to smooth texture and brighten tone.

3. Apply BHA (2% Salicylic Acid): On a separate night, apply the BHA exfoliant to help clear pores and manage oil buildup.

4. Routine Frequency:

• Beginner: Use AHA and BHA every 2–3 nights alternately.

• Moderate: Alternate each night for balanced exfoliation.

• Advanced: Use BHA in the morning and AHA in the evening.

5. Do Not Rinse: Allow each exfoliant to absorb before continuing your skincare routine.

6. Finish: Always follow with your serum and moisturizer. For daytime use, apply broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher, as exfoliation increases sun sensitivity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

A: Yes, because chemical exfoliants increase sun sensitivity. Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily.

Q: Is this suitable for sensitive skin?

A: Work up gradually and observe your skin’s tolerance; those new to acids can begin with less frequent application.

Q: Can I use serums or moisturizers after exfoliating?

A: Yes, follow exfoliation with your favorite serum and moisturizer for best results. Always patch test if combining multiple actives.
