Promising Reviews From Sephora Shoppers:
"This is an exceptional chemical peel! I am an avid user of Natura Bisse's 20% Glycolic peel which is also sold at 1.0oz. The only difference between the two is price. The NB version is $250.00!! This purchase is a must for anyone who enjoys the results of chemical exfoliation. My tip is follow the directions to the letter and prepare for some initial stinging upon application keeing in mind that a stinging sensation felt in random location throughout the face is normal for all chemical peels." - SkinCareDude
"This is the first more serious AHA/BHA I've tried, and it definitely makes my skin look so fresh the next day! It's also the first T.O. product I've really liked and seen results from. I never leave it on for more than the recommended 10 minutes, and I always follow it with a hydrating mask. The price point makes it super affordable, and I will be repurchasing it. This product is definitely not for the faint of heart, because it can REALLY sting. I like to think the sting proves that it's working, but make sure to never use this if you have open cuts or work around the open skin." - Ohgeezi
"Definitely a good product for clearing and brightening skin. It can sting a bit if you have any broken skin on your face and can also be a bit drying so be careful and follow the instructions and hydrate afterwards. You can’t beat the price for the quality of product." - AnakaeW
