I've been using this for five weeks and I'm getting fabulous results. I've been using it once or twice daily and haven't had any bad reactions with my sensitive skin. My skin tone is more even...

Great product! It leaves my skin soft and smooth and it doesn’t irritate whatsoever. A little goes a long way, I’ll definitely keep using this.

By far the best AHA out there and the amount for the price is great. I have been using it every night under my retinol serum for almost a year now and I still haven't run out of it. It absorbs very...

I've been using this for at least 8 months now, 2-3 times a week. The container is large, 3.3. oz/100 ml and I haven't run out yet. Although it stings initially upon application, it absorbs quickly...

This makes my skin look brighter and clearer, and does not cause irritation for me at all. As with BHA, I recommend getting a sample before purchasing a full size, as AHA may irritate some.

I have combination sensitive skin and milia. This helps refine skin texture and prevent milia. I have repurchased more than once but a bottle lasts a long time. I don't use it more than a few times...

I have been using for a few months now. I have sensitive skin, and if I use it too frequently it I experience some dryness and irritation. So it took some playing to find the perfect exfoliation...

I started using this at the same time as the 2% BHA gel. It was during a complete overhaul of my skincare routine that happened about a year ago now. I really really like this. It has made a huge...

I've been using this product for a few years now, and this, alternated with the 2% BHA gel and 1% retinol serum, keeps my skin clear and glowing. Usually I use one of these products and then give...

Awesome stuff. Really smooths out your complexion and gives you a nice glow, and also really diminishes the look of sebaceous filaments (to the point that it's hard to tell if they're even there...

Earlier I have been using the 10% weekly resurfacing treatment - a really good product!! But due to the packaging - I wasn't using it that efficiently. The 8% AHA gel works better for me, and I get...

I've been a die hard BHA (salicylic acid) fan for years, but as my skin has cleared and aged the rejuvenating effects of Glycolic acid are a nice addition to my rather simple skin care routine. I...

For me this was just meh. I did not get the exfoliation I was looking for. This was too mild for my aging sometimes acne prone skin. My skin is not too sensitive so for those who is, this might...
