I bought this because I have deep pores on my nose area that constantly get clogged and look so unattractive. The first couple times I used it I didn't use a moisturizer at all that day, and my skin dried up and flaked, it was awful! I soon figured out that if I put it on first thing in the morning, waited a few minutes while I brushed my teeth and did other morning steps, and then put on moisturizer, that solved that. No more dry skin. Here's my application routine:
1) Wash and dry face
2) Pump one squirt of BHA Power Liquid in palm
3) Apply liquid to face using 2 fingers of the opposite hand, dipping into palm to get more (T-zone/break-out spots) - I do not used a cotton pad because it soaked up and wasted tons of liquid
4) Let sit for 10-15 min, then apply moisturizer (do not rinse)
5) Repeat morning and night
After the first month, I honestly didn't see much of a change. I expected it to burn more, but it mostly felt like nothing, which was slightly disconcerting at first. I might have stopped using it, except that I had so much left and seemed like a waste not to keep trying. About three months in, I suddenly realized what a dramatic shift had started happening. I typically have maybe 5 pimples at any given moment, and then I get a monthly hormone-related breakout on top of that. Since I got past the 6-8 week mark of using BHA Power Liquid, I haven't had a major breakout in 8 months!! It's not just my blackheads that started clearing (FYI, those took 3-6 months to actually disappear completely), it's my whole face that has improved! I no longer have my steady pimples, either. I'll get really small spots here and there, and they clear up so quickly that even my husband doesn't notice them. You guys, this stuff is incredible! I realize that everyone's skin reacts differently, but this stuff is a dream for mine! Three times I've forgotten to bring it on long vacations (2 weeks) and each time I started breaking out toward the end of the trip, but cleared up when I got back to my routine. I'm buying a second bottle for my travel bag right now (the size is US carry-on approved--woohoo!) And on top of everything, the one bottle is on course to last me for an entire year. I've recommended this to at least a dozen people and am buying to the AHA Power Liquid right now to see how that works on me.
