I'm an experienced user of chemical exfoliants, so I had no problem with the higher percentage of this product (it also comes in 5%, which is good for beginners). Lactic Acid is a larger molecule...

So I just had a less than wonderful experience with the mandelic acid serum from TO. I wouldn't have if I had just stuck with this product instead of falling into the trap of thinking "everything...

This is a nice form of lactic acid as this version doesn’t involve a cream with other ingredients in it that don’t play well with other products AND it’s cheap. I used to prefer Salicylic Acid as...

I am no stranger to acid exfoliants. I have been using them for years, trying different formulations and products. Lactic acid seems to be the right choice for my skin, effective, but mild. You...

Like the 5% version I found this serum gentle but surprisingly effective. This is a great acid serum for beginners. No irritation but tangible results. It has a medium consistency that rubs in very...

good price, it sheds the dead skin without irritation. if you get too dry, just use it less often and start slow.

I know next to nothing about acids and stuff, but a friend recommended this to me and it works great! I don't have sensitive skin so I went straight for the 10%. It really does remove the top layer...

This is my go-to for a topical acid. I really researched and tried many, and found that LA works on my sensitive skin. AHA was just too intense and burning. I started with TO 5% and then moved to...

Like everyone else, I quite liked this. I have sensitive skin and started off with the 5%, then moved up to this and have no problems leaving it on for the recommended ten minutes. My skin looks...

Very effective acid for your skin at a stellar price. Your skin will look clearer and brighter very quickly. It’s strong though so unless you’re used to using acids, may want to dilute the...

Because I have sensitive skin and mild rosacea, I started with the 5% and just moved up to the 10% once or twice a week. This product has helped when I have any flakiness from tretinoin. I really...
