    As I’m new to acids, I didn’t want to jump to high strength acids and this was perfect for beginners like me. It’s really really gentle but effective. However, after 7 months of using this, i feel...

    Probably the most pointless product I've ever used. It was as effective as putting water on my face.

    Edit: I had to subtract 2 lippies because the products from The Ordinary began giving me an allergy over time due to being largely made up of propanediol. I think my skin began reacting to it due...

    I'm not much of an acid user so for me, this actually worked really well. The texture of my skin got a lot smoother after using this every other day. I like that it's mild because I live in...
