I love this BHA. Usually i stick to the 2% bha liquid exfoliant. That one has been in my regular rotation for so long. I decided to try this 4% and i am so glad i did! The texture is very different, almost a liquid gel like. It comes in a thick dropper style but all you need is one small drop each time. I am actually loving this more than the 2% liquid version now that the weather is warming up. It absorbs faster and doesn't pill. Overall it keeps my oily skin smooth and great on my pores. I am undecided whether to recommend this one or my other favourite 2% liquid. I guess if you are a beginner, stick to 2% for the first bottle at least. I have been using bha for over 10 years so my skin is very comfortable with thehigher percentage. I just love this texture so much!
