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 cult classic and I can see why! I like to use the gel version of this over the liquid, I prefer the texture and I don't need to use a cotton round or have a runny liquid to apply by hand....

I think this is a good product but it’s just not fairly priced anymore. I think it gets the job done of cleaning pores but I find as I’ve gotten older I get a better result using acids like lactic...

Holy grail! I honestly don’t see a visible difference but it’s non drying and every time I stop using it I’ll end up breaking out. It’s magic.

It might cause "purging" but it's worth waiting. Purging means it's working. Your skin is getting used to it. I found it very helpful. It worked for me. But I suggest other people not to use any...
