Great product to use for flaky skin. I have combo/dry skin so I don't use it everyday but even using it several times a week, it works well.

This product does not help my blemishes at all. So i gave the bottle to my sister, and it made her skin worse! You have to be careful in trying such strong products because you will never know what...

Worked great on my sensitive skin. My skin has a tendency to get rough, dull, and uneven looking if I don't exfoliate often. I use AHA to help remove sun-damaged layers. Thanks to meds that...

Well, I have to rave about how this makes my skin look and feel. I have dry, sometimes rough skin and this makes it velvety soft and evens out my skin tone. I do have a bit of a problem with the...

I have very sensitive skin and rosacea, so I wasn't sure this product would work for me. It was rated as a good exfoliator for sensitive skin, so I tried it. My face peeled the whole time I used...

In my teens/early 20's I was a life guard. I have some sun damage that has caused the skin to seem "thick". I use Paula's Choice 8% AHA on those areas and can really tell a difference. I use...

After getting a facial a year ago, they recommended that I start using an Alpha Hydroxy Acid on my face daily. It has dramatically reduced the acne scars and evened out my skin tone like you...

I used to use this 2x a night but I just wasn't seeing any major results. It doesn't irritate my skin but it's just, ok. Now that its winter I use it sparingly, but I think I might look for...

I have dry skin, with lots of red post acne marks. AHA seems to be a good idea for me, but it's not. It dries my skin out, hence it makes my skin texture rough, even though I use it in conjunction...

This is my favorite PC product. My skin feels so much smoother and makeup and moisturizer go on much better. I use it every other night. No problems with breakouts or irritation.

This is a good, comparatively cheap AHA. You can feel it working, from the slight tingle that you get after applying it. So often I find that I end up flossing my teeth afterwards and I can taste...
