description

A unique leave-on formula that’s gentle enough for daily use on all skin types. Exfoliates dead skin cells while clearing pores for a more even, radiant tone, plus visibly reduces fine lines and wrinkles to reveal remarkably smoother, younger-looking skin. This exfoliant has an optimal pH range of 3.2–3.8.

    This is a good product...however, if you have oily skin, it will leave a sort of sticky film on your face that looks shiny all day. I'm going to order the lotion to see if that's a better formula...
