Chemical Scalp Exfoliant - Helps Manage Dandruff & Oils
I use this product for "other than the intended purpose". Skin care is important to me, but I struggle with psoriasis/dermatitis which sometimes results in dandruff and a rough patch behind one ear. In the past I have tried glycolic acid for my face and it was terrible. More than just a purging, it...

Not a bad product, my skin just didn't care for it
Product came with 2 options to apply them with: a squirtle or a regular top lid thingy. I chose the squirtle and I'd spritz it on a bottom pad and swept across my face. It would sting me. I thought my skin was just not used to it. This was one of the first products I purchased when I got into skinca...

Cleans greasy hair!
A good dry shampoo alternative. I use this on non hair wash days when my hair is greasy. It leaves my hair feeling clean!
game changer
I immediately noticed a positive change in my skin when I started using this product. My skin texture is so much better than it used to be, I had no idea that my skin could actually be so smooth. I even started using it on my scalp as a pre-wash scalp treatment- GAME. CHANGER. One of the best products to add into my skincare rotation, hands-down.
Give it a try, return if not meeting your standards
I would recommend not using this product daily on your face if you have scensitive skin or are new to exfoliating (I am). I believe the bottle states to not use it with any other active acids, retinol, etc. Ive experienced slight stinging after using it (after applying moisturizer) but I was really looking for an exfoliate for my dry patches and acne scars. Its only been 2 weeks and I currently use this product 2 times a week. If the burning continues I'll probably use it for my "strawberry legs" or underarms as seen in other reviews.
Great glycolic acid in the world
Pretty good quality to adjust dead skins from head to toe
I love it for my scalp
I used this once 1 to 2 times a week for my scalp and it really deep cleans. Also my underarms too. Been using it for years! I dont really use it on my face because it is strong. It helps balance my scalp and keep it clean. When you have clean scalp regimen i see hair growing. I put it in a finger tip spray and spray my scalp so easy let it sit overnight and feel how clean your scalp is after wash! I always have backup. This is my multi purpose use product that i cannot live without.
