ProsThis product is perfect for instantly treating skin when dead skin cells are severely flaking and sebum mixes with them, making your complexion look dull. I've been using it for a long time, so it's not too harsh for me. However, if I haven't used it in a while, it can cause a slight tingling sensation. The next day, my skin feels as smooth as a peeled egg, which is why this is a must-have on my vanity. Initially, there's a slight tingling when applied, but now I don't feel anything. I apply it right after toner and serum, skipping moisturizer. These days, I'm using retinol, so I only use this once or twice a month to avoid potential irritation. I really hope they never discontinue this product!
ConsThere are no downsides. AHA is a strong exfoliating ingredient, so the tingling sensation is to be expected.
TipPro tip 1: After cleansing, apply toner then AHA. Wait 30 minutes to an hour, then rinse with water. Follow up with a high-concentration serum or functional skincare product. This seems to improve absorption, and you'll wake up to plump, firm skin the next day. Pro tip 2: If your face is super sensitive, you can use this on areas like elbows, knees, ankles, or heels for exfoliation. I also apply it on my back and chest when I have severe back or chest blemishes, and it seems to help fade scars faster!
