User Review without direct purchase

I have combination skin. Super dry spots and super oily spots. I use this at night. I use there niacinamide in the morning. holy grail for dark spots. Takes consistency, only time I don’t use this is after picking at my skin, it will burn.

Use this properly for results

Having very sensitive and dry skin I was trepedacious to use this product but it is wonderful! It only stings if you have a damaged skin barrier/acid mantle. I use this in the AM and adapalene at night, and as long as I give my skin the care it needs, and don't over strip my skin, I never have an issue, and if I think my skin is a bit more stripped than it should be, I will skip it that day. This product has made a huge difference in my skin exfoliation, no more sebaceous filaments on my nose at all, and pores appear much smaller.

Idk. I’m almost down with my bottle and I do not feel or see a difference. I have never had a burning sensation or anything at all. I feel like it was a waste of money

Read before buying, use it properly. LOVE ITTT

This is my third bottle. I love it. When I started using it, it definitely burned a bit, but is just until your skin gets used to it, if you have sensitive skin mix it with a moisturizer. This is an AHA so make sure you mix the right ingredients so you don’t kill your skin. It cleared my spots, even my skin tone and give me a good glowww. Forever in my skincare routine

A good acid for your routine

This product is a strong acid. That said it gets a bad rep due to misuse. Use sparingly, sandwhich with moisturizer, and dont use every day. Research other components of ur routine before incorporating to make sure this product doesn’t clash with others.

Magic!

Bring this back in stores! Whenever I see a pimple coming to fruition, I drop a few drops on it and it disappears by the morning! Love it!

Smooth out skin texture 

This is my second time buying this product because it works so well. I wouldn't say it clears up acne, but it definitely gets rid of uneven skin texture.

Works pretty well...but I have to rinse off after

So far, so good. I know I have very sensitive skin, so I used this in combination with the Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Oil Control Serum, left it on for less than 10 minutes, then rinsed it off before putting on my usual face cream. Yes, it was itchy and stung, but I always expect acid serums to sting my skin. It wasn't unbearable, but I also knew I had to rinse it off to keep my face from reacting too badly. But after using it in the evening, I wake up the next morning with the most absolutely smooth skin. This includes the really rough, dry patches I had on my forehead and next to the corner of my mouth. I personally would only use this once a week, since I feel this stuff is pretty strong. I probably would suggest the 5% lactic acid solution if I wanted to use more frequently.
