Community take

For dullness, Redditors often recommend acid peel pads or liquid exfoliants, especially DDG pads, used about weekly. People report brighter, softer-looking skin, while emphasizing restrained use rather than frequent exfoliation.

What works

  • Users report brighter, more radiant-looking skin after adding acid exfoliation.
  • Several say skin feels softer, with improved texture and glow.
  • DDG peel pads are frequently praised for occasional brightening.

Watch out for

  • More frequent use can become too irritating for some.
  • Prequel’s peel caused uncomfortable tingling for one user.
