    I did love it! Did clean my face and maintained it that way. I gave this 4 lipies, because i like the 2% BHA lotion better ( it goes better with my spf cream )!...but this is great also

    Pros: Effective AHA exfoliant in stable packaging, large amount of product included Cons: A little expensive, and texture is sticky. This is a good product, but a good AHA isn't so hard to...
