Works well but oily.
Set name: Face - 1.7 oz.
This works well but is not ideal if you want to wear under makeup. It has a very oily consistency. Price is good.

Better value & quality
I was using the Paula’s brand but stopped ordering because the price kept going up. This came up in my search and it’s almost the same except it has a stronger concentration & has a few more added benefits. It’s also about half the price. This product works great & I’ve been using TruSkin Vit. C moisturizer for years now so I knew their other products work for me and are good quality.

It works for my Very sensitive skin
This is the most gentle liquid exfoliant I've ever used. I have very sensitive skin and 3xs a week doesn't bother my skin at all! I Highly recommend it. DS

Bye bye ingrowns and dark spots
I love this exfoliant, I've bought it 3 times already. I use it on all my hyperpigmentation on my back, underarms, and face. It really helps with my ingrown hairs and reduces the appearance of dark spots. Super effective, I love it!
