Description
"Glycolic Acid is an alpha hydroxy acid that exfoliates the skin. This 7% toning solution offers mild exfoliation for improved skin radiance and visible clarity, while also improving the appearance of skin texture with continued use.
This formula contains a studied Tasmanian Pepperberry derivative to provide comforting benefits to the skin. It is further supported with inclusion of ginseng root and aloe vera for both visible radiance and soothing benefits.
This pH of this formula is approximately 3.6 and Glycolic Acid has a pKa of 3.6. The pKa is the most important aspect to consider when formulating with acids as it implies acid availability. When pKa is close to pH, there is an ideal balance between salt and acidity, maximizing the effectiveness of the acid and reducing the potential of developing irritation. Higher pH values in such a case would increase the concentration of salt, which counter-intuitively would make the formula even more irritating than if the formula was more acidic.This formula contains a studied Tasmanian Pepperberry derivative to help reduce irritation associated with acid use. This derivative is of plant origin and varies in colour seasonally and this colour variation may be apparent in the formula from time to time. The formula is further supported with inclusion of ginseng root and aloe vera for both visible radiance and soothing benefits.
Contraindications: This formula should not be used on sensitive, peeling or compromised skin. Please refer to additional sun protection note and other warnings in provided Directions.
Notes:
The Tasmanian Pepperberry derivative included in this formula is of plant origin and as such will vary in colour seasonally. This colour variation may be apparent in the formula from time to time.

submitted by Aly - 7 months ago
A: I believe you should have a cleanser just to help with any extra oil, but with glycolic acid you can do that but just a make sure you wait 2 or 4 minutes for the glycolic acid to sit on ur face because it can be de activated if you put on your moisturizer

Got for the KP on my legs
5 out of 5 stars
Thumbs up graphic, would recommend
RoseBee - 5 days ago, Verified purchaser
KP are rough bumps often found on the upper arms and thighs. I have them on my legs, and I hate them. I have tried everything to get rid of them, but nothing works. My daughter told me about this product, and I have been using it for about a week. I see a difference on my legs; the redness of the bumps has lightened, and some bumps have disappeared. But it's not entirely gone, I'm hoping with continuous use it will eventually go away.
Not for oily skin

I really wanted to like this product but it didn't work well with my skin. I have oily skin and forehead acne. It made me even more oily and my acne was inflamed by it as well. Would not recommend if you are oily or have acne prone skin.
I recommend this to everyone

I bought this for my bumps on the back of my arms, it worked so well, I'm using on the dark skin on my elbow, tops of my toes, bikini line after waxing, legs after shaving, etc. I just swipe it over my skin after I get out of the shower before lotion. I've recommended it to several people now. They all love the price point and how easy it is to use. And much cheaper than any other bump removers/scrubs. I've only used on my face directly on the area (not all over) as needed (e.g. if I have a facial hair stuck under my skin, a dry patch on my cheek, clooged pores on my forehead from my sunscreen)
Love it

I bought this for my scalp. I've been using this for a little over 2 weeks, every other day now and can already see a difference. I had a lot of flaking within the first week but that is mostly gone now and my hair has been noticeably silkier since!

Not even a week and my dark spots on my legs are fading. I combined this one with the niacinamide. I have tried other products but no such luck.

Pretty sure there is a warning on this bottle to patch test before lathering on your entire face. I have used multiple times behind my neck and it cleans out my skin. It is a bit sensitive on my face and neck. So you need to be careful with any products you use. The ingredient literally says ACID! What do people think, it is gentle? it has some type of active ingredients to fight what it is designed to do. a And compared to what another glycolic acid wash this one is by far gentle. I have used some stuff given by my dermatologist that is very harsh and if not used properly can damage your skin. So read and do your research before applying any products. Just because things are OTC doesn't mean they cannot be just as strong as what a dermatologist can prescribe. Some of these reviews are shocking to see how people use it everyday...yeah maybe they can use it everyday. But each person is different, for me I would only use maybe 1 or 2 times a week and that too only on the back of my neck and under arms. Face and neck skin is super sensitive...so think before dumping the whole product onto your face. It is a solid product but needs to be used cautiously.
Nice

I love how it makes my skin glow and make me look alive. One thing I do not like is that it tends to irrirate my skin a tad bit. Other than that I highly recommend.
Nothing exfoliating about this product

I bought this because my normal brand (Good Molecules) was out of stock and I've heard good things about the brand. This does not exfoliate like the other brand. My skin looks dull and doesn't feel smooth or "clean" like it does with my normal brand. I'm very disappointed.
Awesome product

Does help remove any impurities left on skin after washing. Gentle doesn't leave skin dry or irritated.

I use this on my scalp before i shower. Its amazing. I have very oily hair which i can usually only stretch to washing every other day, MAYBE two on a good week. This keeps the oil away longer without drying my hair.
