What It Does:
Skin Perfecting 8% AHA Gel Exfoliant has a weightless gel texture to exfoliate the skin’s surface via 8% glycolic acid in a pH-correct formula. It helps to smooth dry skin and improve signs of unevenness. It is gentle enough for skin that has stubborn white bumps, and skin that is prone to milia.
The creamy solution works to remove dead skin, while Glycolic Acid promotes a smoother, more refined texture. It will help reduce the appearance of dark spots, and signs of aging, such and fine lines and wrinkles as a result of sun damage. Leaves your skin feeling softer and smoother.
8% AHA Gel is suitable for all skin types, people who have dull, uneven normal to dry skin will find it beneficial. It should be noted that using water-based gel textures, the finish could be somewhat sticky, especially if a moisturizer is not applied over it.
As with all Paula’s Choice exfoliants, this product is fragrance-free; research indicates this is best for the skin.

Conclusion: Perfecting 8% AHA Gel Exfoliant
I have very sensitive skin, and I also have some sun damaged areas on my forehead. I began using this product as part of my skin care routine, and I am seeing a marked improvement.
It has helped remove some rough dry patches and even out the skin tone. The good thing is that I have not had any irritation, redness or over drying.
When using AHA or BHA products, you need to give 2-3 weeks to see the full results. This will allow for the old skin to be replaced with new fresh, healthier looking skin.
You must never forget to apply sunscreen every day, limit sun exposure while using this product as it contains Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) this may increase skin’s sensitivity to the sun and increase the possibility of sunburn. I recommend using a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher.
This really is such a great AHA product. Makes my skin soft, smooth, and supple. I would highly recommend it.

Hi Jo, I discovered Paula’s choice products a few years ago and I have tried many of them. I still think their AHA and BHA products are the best in the market, well formulated and effective, they are the addition to your skincare routine that makes the biggest difference. I alternate this AHA gel with the BHA liquid every other night and my skin looks so much brighter and clear, I couldn’t live without them!
Hello Jo, I received some Paula’s choice products for xmas and must say I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the results already! They are magical and I would urge your readers to give them a try..my skin feels wonderful after using this exfoliator and it doesn’t leave my skin feeling tight, I also received the ‘Defense Nightly Reconditioning Moisturizer’ it is so light but leaves my skin feeling lovely and subtle..they are suitable for all skin types which is great.
