very harsh
When I first started using this the pain was actually kinda unbearable. I’m not sure why I continued using it, but I did for months, and the stinging eventually went away. Didn’t do anything for my skin as far as I can tell.
Started slow by using it once-twice a week and it still burned my skin right off every single time I’ve used it. Even on my oily T-zone where it usually isn’t sensitive! This is considering I’ve used other exfoliating toners in the past with no issues. Also, it smells heavily of alcohol. The only saving grace is that I bought this for less than half price, so I’m probably going to just gift it to Show more
