I've used glycolic acid before without any issues, however I tried to give this a go instead. It's a very watery consistency, which will run down your face, so you have to hurry up to pat it...

I had never tried lactic acid before this product so I don't have anything to compare it. I use it two or three times a week, alternating with 1% retinol (TO) and a "rest" day where I focus on...

This product uses lactic acid. I am used to using acids to treat my acne, but ever since I switched to this, I have been breaking out which should not be the case. I didn't have acne with my...

Dont know why but it broke me out every time I used it, I am very familiar with acids but this was somehow too strong for my combo-acne prone-redness prone skin.

This has transformed my skin. I was previously using the bravura lactic acid and my sister recommended this so I bought it just a week ago. I have seen such a difference, I am acne prone as well as...

Excellent product. I move around between Paris and London and like to keep AHAs products in both places so I don't have to carry them around. I'm using the Intelligent Nutrients Glycolic Acid,...

AWESOME product. Very slight stinging when I first apply it, but I don't mind because I know it's working. It's extremely thin in texture and sinks in super fast so decreases time between layers....

This stuff will resurface your skin better than any AHA peel on the market at half the price. I use this to face acne hyperpigmentation as well as to help ingrown hairs get out (gross, but it...

Love this product! I do not recommend it if you're not well-practiced in chemical exfoliation, as it's rather strong and does not contain any of the typical skin-soothing additives commonly found...

I used it to fade away some of my acne scars and it made my skin worse just in one use. My skin has now deep acne scars that i never had before. I'm only 20 and it made my fine lines more visible....

Of the Ordinary products I've tried this is the best. Good exfoliation and lactic stings less than glycolic, on most people anyway. There is definitely a smell. I thought it remind me of a...

I haven't used lactic acid before so built up to leaving it on overnight. Anyway, no adverse effects and my skin looks great. Fantastic packaging and price too. Addictive!
