How does Paulas Choice 2% Beta Hydroxy Acid Gel compare to the 2% Beta Hydroxy Acid Liquid?

The main difference is texture. The 2% Beta Hydroxy Acid Liquid has a toner-like consistency, and its base allows faster penetration of salicylic acid into the pore lining while providing ultra-light hydration. The 2% Beta Hydroxy Acid Gel has a water-light gel base that lightly hydrates without feeling thick or greasy. Both products contain the same concentration of salicylic acid and have a pH level low enough for effective exfoliation. Both products are also appropriate for all skin types, though those with oily to very oily skin may naturally prefer the 2% BHA Liquid’s texture.
