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...

Been using for years
I've been using this glycolic acid for years and have nothing but good things to say. I use it every night on my underarms to stop bacteria that causes smell. I use it on my feet to exfoliate. I use it between my thighs to help with ingrowns and folliculitis. I some times use it in my scalp before washing my hair to exfoliate. It has so many uses and has never failed me. Can you use it on your face? Yes! But I only use it maybe once a month in my face as it is very strong and I would never mix it with other acids or topicals.
Best affordable toner
This toner is my go to!! It works great and is affordable. Use it for face, feet, and even underarms.
Great product.
Absorbs quickly and leaves my skin feeling hydrated without a greasy residue. It has improved my skin texture significantly.
my holy grail
I cannot name a thing wrong except that I run lit of it lol. It is my FAVORITE toner ever. I have bad acne on my shoulders and I like to pick at it and this stuff CLEARRRS it up so fast. Its also amazing on my psoriasis flares on my scalp. I sleep with it on my scalp over night and im like 80% less flakey over night. the bottle lasts me so long and I use it like 3x a week! 1000/10 recommend!
Would repurchase again (and have!)
I have purchased this item a few times. I use it specifically to target texture on my face, reduce the appearance of acne scarring, spot treat ingrown hairs, and reduce odor on my underarms. It's a very versatile product, and has worked on all of these fronts for me.
