Why did Paula use salicylic acid (BHA) in the Clearly Remarkable Skin Lightening Gel instead of the glycolic acid (AHA) used in her Skin Lightening Lotion?
Clearly Remarkable Skin Lightening Gel was designed with normal to oily skin in mind, so Paula chose to use BHA because it is oil soluble and can effectively penetrate further into the pore to loosen debris and help shed trapped dead skin cells. People with normal to oily skin also tend to have blackheads and blemishes and BHA is the preferred exfoliant when blemishes are a concern. Clearly Remarkable Skin Lightening Gel is ideal for someone with normal to oily (including very oily) skin who is struggling with persistent breakouts and sun- or hormone-induced discolorations. Paula’s Choice Remarkable Skin Lightening Lotion with glycolic acid is meant for all skin types, but is ideal for those with normal to dry skin and visible sun damage, including sun-induced discolorations.
