This product is amazing! It clears my acne without any dryness, redness, or irritation. It’s rather expensive ($45 USA), but a little bit goes a long way. The packaging isn’t the greatest. I’m...

Use 1/2 bottle of this and I can't quite sure if it works at all... May be works a little but not enough for me to repurchase again. I am going back to Alpha Hydrox 10% AHA Gel.

I cannot tell you how much I love this stuff. It is amazing, and the best on the market, I've found. And I have tried a lot, including the Mario Badescu, which is so hyped--it's like a stinky...

It costs $45, but it's 2 oz. and lasts a long time. I've used it for over half a year, and I still have more than 1/3 left. The product itself is nothing miraculous. It does work--it has helped...
