HG exfoliating toner
I use this only at night twice a week. On first use, I didn't really feel the good effects straight away but I woke up to clearer complexion. But on second use, my skin felt so smooth and silky the next day when I woke up. It is also really gentle on my sensitive skin and didn't cause any irritations.

When I first used this, it made my skin tingle ever-so-slightly before revealing the smoothest skin ever. The ever-present texture (closed comedones) on my forehead and cheeks have diminished greatly because of this. I only use it at night because AHA can cause sensitivity to sunlight!

My first chemical exfoliator. Great as an introduction for beginner or sensitive skin. Works well for a couple of months and then it didn't give the same effect as it used to. Help reduce blackheads, bumps, and prevent hormonal aches.
