Best Dupes for Paula's Choice 2% BHA
If you've been searching for an alternative to the popular 2% BHA from Paula's Choice then you're in luck.
In this blog, we're rounding up some great Korean skincare alternatives that will not only save your wallet but your skin too!
But first - what exactly are BHAs and what do they do for your skin?
Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHA) are a gentler alternative to AHAs. Salicylic acid is the most commonly used BHA today, particularly in western skincare.
Containing many of the same benefits as AHAs, the fat solubility of BHAs dissolve oil and makes them effective on blocked pores, blackheads, whiteheads and acne. BHAs also have anti-inflammatory properties and soothe redness.
This best-selling chemical exfoliant clears dead skin to assist with breakouts. It also provides skin brightening benefits for a more even skin tone.
Unlike most Western BHA products (including Paula's Choice), COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid is formulated using betaine salicylate rather than salicylic acid. We love it because it's not as drying as other BHA products.
Another great Korean beauty alternative to Paula's Choice is Be The Skin Pore Zero Toner. This is a better option for sensitive skin because it deals with skin issues without irritating already sensitized skin.
Containing 85% Willow-BHA, a naturally-derived BHA ingredient, it gently cares for various troubles and dead skin.
Make sure you add both of these products to your wishlist to try.
