OMG! This is the only AHA I have ever been able to use in the daytime -- other ones just turn me into an oil slick. This goes on in the morning just fine, and doesn't leave me greasy -- more the oppos...Read more

I'm on the fence with this product. I suffer from very dry skin, this product made my skin so smooth and flake free. The only issue was that after about a week or so of consistent use, I had an acne b...Read more

The pores on my forehead and cheeks are the same after 4 months of use twice daily. Don't feel it did not do anything for my skin. Would not repurchase, too expensive for the results.
