Read the threads ↓Pros
- Inexpensive and available in a large bottle, making it budget-friendly for regular use
- Often recommended for body areas like legs, underarms, and elbows to smooth rough skin and reduce dark spots
- Can be effective at improving skin glow, texture, and reducing appearance of sebaceous filaments when tolerance is built
Cons
- Strong formulation causes irritation, dryness, and barrier damage if overused or combined with multiple actives like tretinoin
- Can exacerbate redness, rosacea, acne, or sensitive skin conditions leading to breakouts or inflammation
- Over-exfoliation risk means many users must limit use to once or twice a week and avoid layering with other acids or retinoids
