The best exfoliator i ever tried. I think it's the best choice for those who has stubborn blackheads, because it literally melts them away.

Very good but beware it’s very strong. It says use once or twice a week but I would recommend once very 2 or three weeks. If it’s too strong for you, use the Glycerin Acid Toner 7%. After that don’t put any toner. Pair it up with Hyaluronic acid of your choice and a very moisturizing cream in the night time and you’re all set :)

Be careful with this if you have really sensitive skin. My skin is very reactive and highly sensitive. I have acne prone skin and this irritated my skin really bad

Cured my fungal acne and prevents flare ups! Nizoral was way too harsh for my skin. I used this 10 min every single day for 3 weeks. I had no barrier issues because I followed it up with a raw manuka honey mask (umf 20+) right after for 1-3 hours. The manuka honey helps so much with the drying side effects of sulfur. It also helps treat FA/acne because it has antifungal, antibacterial, and Show more
