Super dupe!

Review Balea Liquid Peeling 2% BHA 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 This peel should be a dupe of the well-known and beloved Paula's Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant. The PC one costs 39 euro for 118 ml and this one from Balea in Germany less than 6 euro for 125 ml. From Twente, a ride to Germany is easy. So off to the DM. The peeling comes in a clean package in white and green with a screw cap. You can apply the peel directly to your face or apply it with a cotton pad. I tried both but I prefer to apply directly to the face with (washed) hands. With a cotton pad, I have the impression that a lot of product is sucked up and therefore does not end up on your face, a waste of the product. With the exception of three ingredients, it contains exactly the same ingredients as those of PC. I also used the PC one so I can compare well. This one from Balea has a different feel on the skin, it's a bit oily and that's not what PC's has. It does go away after it has been absorbed for a while. And then there's the effect: well it's powerful! My skin is used to chemical exfoliants, but nevertheless, my skin peeled after a few uses and I had some purging problems. No big deal, because that is the powerful effect of this peeling! Ultimately, the result is beautiful, healthy skin with a natural glow. This peel is one of my new favorites! This Balea peel is really an outright dupe of the PC 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant. Other advantages are that it is alcohol-free and fragrance-free. Balea is also animal-free and this peeling is vegan! #balea #dupe #peeling #bha #budgetproof #nourishednewyear @weareeves

@ [diann] (diann) yes, it feels a bit greasy or oily when applied but that disappears when absorbed.

100% paula's choice bha dupe

Yes, they are online 🥳🥳 I recently wrote about a dupe of the paula's choice bha exfoliator but this one from balea is 100% a dupe. Feels a bit oily but not wrong. You don't need much of it and you can apply it with either a cotton pad or hands. After that, I wait a few minutes before moving on to the next step and my skin stays well under control. I only use it in the evening in combination with the above products with which I alternate a bit. By the way, it's also a nice price, €5.95 so definitely worth a try if you visit Germany often and are looking for a brunt of paula's choice. Just like the paula's choice, you get your skin under the control of pimples and impurities, so definitely recommended! For me, a real asset and #waeawards2022 winner

Shiny skin? Yes sir!!!

REVIEW TIME!!! The Balea BHA Toner is a great addition to your skincare routine if you're looking for a product that effectively targets impurities. This toner is enriched with BHA (beta hydroxy acid), which helps remove dead skin cells and keep pores clean. The result? Glowing, smooth skin that looks well-groomed! ✨ Pluses - Effective against blemishes: The toner works well in reducing acne and preventing new blemishes. It also helps reduce redness, making your skin look more even. - Nourishing appearance: After use, your skin looks fresh and radiant. It gives you that healthy glow that we all strive for. - Affordable: Like other Balea products, this toner is pocket-friendly, making it an accessible option for everyone. Downsides - Slow absorption: A disadvantage is that the toner stays wet on the skin for quite a long time. This means that you have to wait a while before you can apply other products, such as retinol. -? Oily texture: The toner may feel a little oily, which isn't ideal if you want to get on with the rest of your routine quickly. Overall Grade I give the Balea BHA Toner a 4/5 🌟. It is an effective product for fighting impurities and improving the overall appearance of your skin. Despite its minor drawbacks, such as longer drying time and oiliness, it remains a valuable addition to your skin care routine. With a little patience, you can enjoy the benefits that this toner has to offer! 😊
