I would and have repurchased this many times. It's improved my skin's texture and clarity. I always leave it on for several minutes and it does tingle, but never leaves any signs of irritation. ...

Love this product. Makes my face look bright, takes care of any peeles. I also like the fact that I don't need toner after cleansing due to low ph level. I will purchase it again and again.

This is a great cleanser. It works very well on acne (I'm a total product junkie and have tried tons of acne products, from all natural to RX). It does sting a little bit, especially if you've just...

To me, this is a fairly gentle glycolic cleanser. It is supposed to be their highest GA concentration cleanser of 20%. I've read that some people thought it was 30%, but I contacted MD Forte and...
