Naturium BHA Liquid Exfoliant 2% (120 ML / 4.0 FL OZ) - Acne Treatment With Salicylic Acid and Bioactive Fruit to Help Unclog Pores - Dermatologically Tested

Product Information

Naturium lets you build your own skin-care regimen and mix and match products according to your skin type and skin concerns, all at an affordable cost. Since I deal with hormonal breakouts and stubborn hyperpigmentation, I chose products that targeted those concerns.

There is no reason, especially if you’re on a budget, to pay a lot for a salicylic acid treatment like Paula’s Choice when there are so many effective dupes available at the drugstore.

According to Minneapolis-based board-certified dermatologist Jenny Liu, topical ceramides have been shown to effectively repair the lipid barrier while also enhancing your skin’s natural production of lipids. I’ve noticed that after using this cream, my complexion has felt less tight and overall, bouncier, even at the end of the day, whereas other moisturizers typically leave my skin high and dry by lunchtime. Also, while I’m not against using synthetic-made ceramides in my skin-care, Liu informs me that phytoceramides (aka plant-derived ceramides) are more environmentally-friendly, which I appreciate. It’s used in Naturium Niacinamide Serum 12% Plus Zinc 2% and Naturium Niacinamide Gel Cream 5%. What Are The Top 10 Best Naturium Skincare Products? The term “quadruple” is used in the name of this serum because of the four different molecular weights of hyaluronic acid in the formula, which include very low, low, medium and high molecular weight pure hyaluronic acid. Retinol is the go-to anti-aging ingredient recommended by dermatologists and skin experts. It’s one of the best ingredients for improving signs of skin aging, such as reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, minimizing pore size, increasing skin firmness, improving skin tone and texture, and more.

Thankfully, the Naturium Vitamin C Complex Serum is made with glutathione, which can help to not only stabilize the vitamin C, but enhance its efficacy, resulting in brighter, firmer, and more radiant skin. After just a week of using this product, I can already see the vitamin C doing its work — my face seems glowier and healthier, no filter needed. I also love that the bottle is a sealed pump, which helps to keep the vitamin C from oxidizing. People ask me all the time which products I use and which brands I think offer the best skincare products for them. Along with Paula’s Choice, The Inkey List and The Ordinary, I’d have to say that Naturium has taken its place among my faves. Niacinamide is the amide form of vitamin B3 (niacin) that provides many benefits to the skin. For instance, a publication in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology , states that niacinamide can repair the skin barrier and improve skin moisture, as well as reduce inflammation, blotchiness, hyperpigmentation, acne, and wrinkling.After cleansing with a gentle, non-foaming cleanser, I shake the Naturium BHA Liquid Exfoliant 2%, an alcohol-free, leave-on exfoliant made with salicylic acid and fruit extracts — including a bioactive complex of caviar lime, desert lime, and rainforest lime — and pour it into the palm of my hand. You can also use a cotton pad to apply the exfoliator, but because I’m one, lazy, and two, cognizant of my carbon footprint, I prefer to use my hands. That said, once a dime-sized amount of the clear liquid is pooled into my palm, I gently pat it onto my face — from my forehead to the bottom of my chin. A staple of my nighttime regimen, I apply this immediately following a gentle cleanse while the skin is still wet, and continue with a rich moisturizer. By the time I wake up, my skin is visibly more radiant, smoother, and appears so much plumper. And while some formulations I've tried over the years have left my complexion feeling more oily than anything else, this one is nothing but hydrating. Plus, I can feel my breakouts being fought all at the same time. While collagen is necessary for maintaining youthful-looking skin, the collagen protein is too large to absorb into the skin topically. That’s why applying skin care products that contain collagen won’t provide the anti-aging benefits you’re looking for. Vitamin C also helps fade dark spots, evens out skin tone, and increases radiance. As if that wasn’t enough, research suggests that when vitamin C is applied to the skin, it significantly reverses aging-related structural changes by influencing collagen and elastin synthesis. Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant is formulated at an optimal pH of 3.2 – 3.8, which makes it gentle enough for all skin types to use on a daily basis. Paula’s Choice BHA Dupes
