Read the threads ↓Pros
- Potent combo of glycolic acid (30%) and salicylic acid (2%) delivers noticeable exfoliation and skin softening effects after one use
- Users report clearer pores and improved skin texture when incorporated 1-2 times weekly
- Highly cost-effective chemical peel compared to professional treatments or pricier brands
Cons
- Very high acid concentration means frequent or improper use triggers barrier damage, redness, and irritation, especially in sensitive or eczema-prone skin
- Stinging/burning sensation is common on application; layering with other actives like retinol or benzoyl peroxide can worsen irritation
- Not suitable for daily use; community advises strict once-per-week max and caution when initiating other exfoliants or tretinoin
