Early verdict · Few reviews so farWhat the gurus are saying
This glycolic acid serum earns praise for tackling rough, dry skin texture and boosting moisture content. Dermatologists recommend it as an effective way to introduce alpha hydroxy acids into a routine, and note it may help with keratosis pilaris on the face. Those with sensitive skin may want to start slowly, perhaps a few times a week, to let skin adjust to the exfoliating action.
