If you've downloaded the app, you likely find yourself scrolling through random areas of TikTok. One space worth getting into, provided you exercise a little cynicism? Skincare TikTok.

Here, you can find knowledgeable influencers who can teach you about ingredients like niacinamide and hyaluronic acid, but also solid product recommendations. On the cynicism point, learning about ingredients and products is, of course, great. But be wary of beauty 'hack' content which advises carrying out procedures at home that should, for safety reasons, always be completed by a trained professional – for example, teeth whitening or mole removal.

The latest recommendation which we are right behind, though, is a liquid exfoliator, which has been heralded as 'life changing' by some users.

@ameliaolivia09 posted a video sharing the product that had made her followers rave about her skin – with many thinking she was wearing makeup when she was actually completely barefaced.

The product in question is Paula's Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant, which Amelia claims transformed 'dull, dry and boring' skin.

If you're not familiar with this cult product and beauty editor favourite, it contains salicylic acid which helps with congestion and breakouts.

It's a much more gentle form of acid so will remove dead skin cells from the surface and within the pore without irritation, which you can experience from glycolic-packed AHA toners.

So, if you're finding your regular exfoliator too strong, or you want to inject some life back into it, it's definitely one worth adding to the wishlist.
