Very effective treating my papules and did not cause discomfort, irritation or result in new problems. I was intrigued by the 9% BHA formula as no other brand offers this type of product. I had a bad breakout that I decided to try this out on. It is a small squeeze tube so be mindful that you only need a very thin film to cover the spot treatment. I had no burn or redness. One bump did tingle for a a few minutes but I took that as it was effectively working. It really cut my healing time by a significant amount; I would say at least half if I am guessing based off my experience. It is expensive so you can stick with BPO or 2% SA and you will heal more gradually. Review: BHA 9 Paul’s choice - It is very effective and does work on skin white heads that are very stubborn and hard to get rid off. Recently my forehead area is getting more than few whiteheads and also large pores, I only used 3 times and has seen results. Fast and effective and also with very little irritation which I am very happy cause I got mildly sensitive skin. For very sensitive skin, I recommend once in every three days or so, but do make sure to test patch it in your arm. Which I did at the back of my hand. ## Features - Item Category: Skin Exfoliant - Item Trademark: PAULA'S CHOICE - manufacturer: Paula's Choice ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00AN5OFGW | | Best Sellers Rank | #143,241 in Beauty ( See Top 100 in Beauty ) #2,210 in Facial Treatments & Masks | | Brand | PAULA'S CHOICE | | Brand Name | PAULA'S CHOICE | | Container Type | Bottle | | Country as Labeled | American Samoa | | Country/region of origin | American Samoa | | Coverage | Face Primer (pore minimizing, smoothing) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 668 Reviews | | Finish Types | Matte | | Item Dimensions | 30 x 30 x 120 millimeters | | Item Form | Gel | | Item Volume | 9 Milliliters | | Item Weight | 0.3 Ounces | | Item form | Gel | | Manufacturer | Paula's Choice | | Manufacturer Part Number | 7730 | | Material Features | Fragrance Free, Paraben Free | | Material Type Free | Paraben Free | | Number of Items | 1 | | Package Type Name | Bottle | | Package information | Bottle | | Product Benefits | Anti-Aging | | Product benefits | Anti-Aging | | Scent Name | Unscented | | Skin Tone | All | | Skin Type | All | | Skin type | All | | Specialty | Paraben Free | | UPC | 655439077309 | | Unit Count | 9 Milliliters | ## Product Details - **Brand:** PAULA'S CHOICE - **Item form:** Gel - **Package information:** Bottle - **Product benefits:** Anti-Aging - **Skin type:** All ## Images ![Paula's Choice RESIST BHA 9 for Stubborn Imperfections - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61XlslKxtqL.jpg) ![Paula's Choice RESIST BHA 9 for Stubborn Imperfections - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71fJNaqAv0L.jpg) ![Paula's Choice RESIST BHA 9 for Stubborn Imperfections - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Odfv3mVFL.jpg) ![Paula's Choice RESIST BHA 9 for Stubborn Imperfections - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71a96amj5tL.jpg) ![Paula's Choice RESIST BHA 9 for Stubborn Imperfections - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71BPj02aoSL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does it work on milia** A: This has worked for most of small milia but for the one I had to get it extracted at the dermatologist. I like to use this and then occasionally the la roche posey effaclar duo because I think the benzoyl peroxide helps too. If you start retinol, your milia should start to decrease to. I’m going to start trentonin in the winter **Q: Does this work on red/pink acne scars?** A: Yes, it has helped fade my post acne hyperpigmentation very well. Be patient, it's not an overnight miracle, but definitely will make a difference with consistent use. Good luck! :) **Q: Will mi skin get red throughout several days with the first use, as peeling my skin?** A: I didnt find that it did anything at all. Total waste of money. **Q: is this product supposed to be white or clear? Mine is mostly clear, but occasionally a white blob comes out.** A: It should be clear. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best spot treatment for Papules! *by H***N on 21 April 2026* Excellent product!
