I started using this a month ago, at first it felt weird and stung a bit but after a couple of nights, it subsided. After a week I could see my complexion looking brighter and had no breakouts for a while. I’m starting to love this product.
Pheladi –
This product has done wonders for my dull and textured skin! This lactic acid is now my holy grail.
Lisa Muller –
This is my first time using a water based Exfoliator and I didn’t know what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised by this product! It really kept my texture under control as well as my completion. During my vacation, I was in the sun alot and I made sure to spf in the morning, I did not have any negative experiences with using this product! I would highly recommend it and it comes at a great price!
Mbasa –
I recently purchased this product i have not used it yet, i was wondering if it was okay to pair it with Alpha arbutin?

Dear Mbasa, Alpha Arbutin and Lactic Acid would be a great combination.
