    I like this product and will repurchase, but I don't use it as often as some of the other PC BHA/AHA products. This is an AHA and does have a little bit of salicylic acid (BHA) in it, which...

    This is an excellent product for those with sensitive skin who are concerned about aging. The 5% formulation is mild enough for even the most sensitive of us to try ... she suggests that you begin...

    I was hoping being only 5% solution, this wouldn't dry out my slightly dry skin (with mild rosacea) but it did. I tried using 1 pump every night and that was way too drying, even using it only a...

    I was using PC AHA gel, but wanted to try this. I really like it better. My skin handles the 5% better. I like the consistency of the lotion because it is not sticky and leaves my dry skin...

    This is a great product. I have been using it for about a month and find that it has definitely started to soften the wrinkles around my eyes and mouth. Will definitely buy again.
