This did absolutely nothing to exfoliate or smooth out texture issues. I was pretty surprised, since I expected at least to see something happening. There are so many other options out there that work...Read more

I’ve tested this on half of my face for circa 1-2 weeks and unfortunately it’s roughened the texture of the skin on that side - there are little empty lumps and bumps that have come up with one or two...Read more

My skin has a tendency to have a flaky texture but too much exfoliation leads to rosacea flares and irritation so I'm always trying to balance keeping my facial skin smooth while avoiding irritation. ...Read more

This product didn't do much for me. The texture is light and absorbs into the skin nicely. Once it drys you can't even tell its on your skin. Overall for wearability its not bad. However, I did not ...Read more

I seriously believe this has saved and improved my skin. Prior to using this, my skin was dull, pimples/acne scars would take ages to go away, and I would always experience constant eczema flareup. O...Read more

Pricey, but an extremely gentle exfoliate. Slow-acting; won't see immediate results...although perhaps after the first use. Doesn't leave my skin irritated and red as scrubs or glycolic exfoliants do....Read more

If you can use AHA, BHA, retinoids and strong peels and your skin is used to exfoliation, you´ll probably be dissappointed by this product. If you have sensitive skin like I have, this might be a HG...Read more

As far as exfoliating products go, this one doesn't really feel like much is going on with the skin. I know that the results surpass a 20% daily glycolic over time but it doesn't irritate at all. O...Read more
