    This is an excellent exfoliant that gives visible results. The recommended use is 1 to 2 times daily, which I find is too much for this strength of product. I would use this 2 or 3 times a week at...

    This is my first night trying this. I’ve tried the 10% weekly AHA in the past with okay result. Surprisingly this actually tingled when I put this on but it subsided. This didn’t happen with the...

    This AHA exfoliant is working well for me, and I alternate between it and one of the Paula's Choice BHA products to keep my pores clear. Unlike many of the Paula's Choice products, this one does...

    My HG AHA. I’ve been using this since I began skincare a few years ago and have been doing it regularly ever since. The bottle lasts me like.... 6-12 months of use, it lasts forever.

    I got a deluxe sized sample of this and it's almost gone. A little goes a long way and I've been using this product a few times a week for over a month. This product does sting a little if you have...

    The Paula's Choice 8% AHA Gel Exfoliant is the second Glycolic Acid product I have tried, the first being The Ordinary's 7% Glycolic Acid 'toner' (which is a misnomer – it is an exfoliant). I...

    Can't say enough good things about this product. My skin becomes congested and literally breaks out from nearly EVERYTHING. The acne and dullness became so bad it impacted my social life and...

    This is powerful stuff and should be used cautiously. When I first tried it I purged a lot of acne. But I kept going because I knew it's special. Now, it burns my face for a few seconds but...
