Immediate results!
Over the past few years, I've been trying to get rid of the little "blackheads" on my nose. I've tried everything from cleansers, scrub masks, peel masks, blackhead strips, etc. Then I learned they weren't even blackheads, but sebaceous filaments! I found this brand on tiktok (go figure), and I was ...

Great for sensitive-combination skin
Hey thanks to everyone for their reviews, I just used my peeling solution for the first time also. Right after washing off the peel my face felt so soft and smooth I applied the hyaluronic acid to add hydration back to my skin follow up with NMF. My face literally feels like a baby I'm thankful to D...

My skin appreciates this stuff.
My aged skin really appreciates this product. After use my skin feels so smooth and looks healthier. The product has a slight burning sensation during use but I've never had a peel (at home or done professionally) not burn a bit.
Amazing
This weekly peel works wonders. It helps to get rid of breakouts and leaves my skin feeling soft snd smooth. It's slowly getting rid if some stubborn blackheads as well.
How does this not have 5 stars?
I have been using this product for a long time and I can tell you it is worth it. The price point and the results are unmatched. Yes, it burns when you first put it on but if you can get through that, you'll love the results. I typically use this once or twice a week and make sure to follow with a moisturizer so it doesn't dry my skin out too much!
How does this product not have 5 stars?
This peeling solution is incredible. My skin feels so soft after I use it. My makeup goes on smoother, and the texture of my skin has improved...it's nothing short of awesome. I can't speak to dark spots because I don't have any, but I have lots of textural bumps from congested pores on my face, and these have improved considerably. I'm 46 years old and can say that this product is great for dry, mature skin! I totally agree with the reviews that say not to use this on open skin, though. It really stings if you do. I use The Ordinary 100% Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil after I use this, followed by La Roche Posay Toleriane Dermallergo Soothing Repair Moisturizer for Sensitive Skin, which seems to be moisturizing enough.
Great little at home light peel product.
This is easy to use and mild enough for home user. I love this line as a professional esthetician to suggest to clients.
