Exfoliation is a crucial step in almost any skincare routine, and AHA BHA exfoliators are the ultimate game-changers. These powerful products work wonders at revealing smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin. Whether you're dealing with acne-prone skin, uneven texture, or dullness, AHA BHA exfoliators are here to save the day. With their unique blend of alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs), these exfoliators gently slough away dead skin cells, unclog pores, and promote cell turnover for a fresh-faced glow.

My Go To Exfoliator for Hard to Manage KP...I've been using this since 2019, and it's the best chemical exfoliator I've ever used!! I find the Paulas Choice one to be way too greasy, and every other chemical exfoliator I find is either way too harsh or not exfoliating enough for my keratosis' pilaris s(since I have hard to deal with KP that salicylic acid does nothing for). ...It's well balanced as a daily exfoliator.

This is a very good product. It could replace your AHA/BHA peel and strong exfoliating wash. If the 1.7 oz size cost ~$60, I would give it 5 stars, but at $85, it is just too pricey....love this, was my first chemical exfoliant and still my gold standard. i don’t find it quite as deep exfoliation as ordinary AHA/BHA or sukari babyfacial, but it’s much easier to use. will always have on hand!

you only need a little shake out of the bottle and mix with wet hands to apply. make sure to let it sit for at least 30seconds so the enzymes work. I find straight aha, bha and salicylic acid exfoliators super irritating to my skin and makes it worse....I absolutely love it. I used AHA/BHA and actives at night and in the morning this helps take off all the dead top layer of skin and leave behind beautiful, radiant skin and it is definitely soaking up my AM products much better. 5+ Stars for this baby xx
