"It's got allantoin, it's got licorice root, turmeric, it's got pineapple which is essentially an enzyme exfoliant in it. This is meant to be left on as a mask, it's not meant to be left on all night. You leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes and then you wash it off. You're going to use this once a week and it's going to be a strong exfoliating step. I love this product. [...] It's very affordable and especially for what it's bringing to the table and delivering, a premier product from Bubble."

"The Deep Dive Exfoliating Mask from Bubble is a brand that you can get at Walmart and Ulta at a very affordable price of $18. [...] Listen to these ingredients: [...] mandelic acid, willow bark which is where salicylic acid comes from, gluconolactone which is a polyhydroxy acid that's very good for sensitive skin, malic acid, lactic acid, azelaic acid, licorice root, and allantoin. This is just a powerhouse of ingredients for exfoliating and pigmentation."

"Bubble has an AHA PHA mask for 18 bucks. This one is interesting because it's a combination of glycolic, lactic, mandelic, and glucono lactone. You can leave this one on for 10 or 15 minutes, it's very light. If you're sensitive, I would try this one because it has glucono lactone."

Glycolic Acid vs. Salicylic Acid: Is it for Your Skin Type & Concern? | Dr. Shereene Idriss

"It's a combination of the two, so I am assuming that it is better for people with sensitive skin. It does have azelaic acid in it, which is interesting if you have rosacea, so it is something that is interesting to look into. It kind of stinks in a weird way, it smells like rotten cucumbers, but it has a nice texture and it is only 18 dollars. You're not going to break the bank and it's worth testing on a spot if you're sensitive."

"I think their packaging is very cute as well. [...] It is an AHA PHA exfoliating mask, and I actually love exfoliating chemical masks because you have to let it sit on your face and then wash it off. [...] Leave it on for ten to twenty minutes and use it one time a week at night. [...] I really respect this brand because they're not trying to shove their product down your throat. You could probably get away with doing it two maybe even three times a week at night if you fully tolerate it."

"This is actually brand new from Bubble and this has been phenomenal. This is a Deep Dive AHA PHA Exfoliating Mask, so this one doesn't make you look like you committed a crime, but this is a very very nice slightly hydrating AHA, otherwise known as alpha hydroxy acid, pore mask and this does many of the same things because again it has those active ingredients. This is also much better for dry skin."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Alpha hydroxy acids

Alpha hydroxy acids loosen the bonds holding dead cells at the surface. The evidence supports smoother texture and more even tone over time, and they can leave skin more sensitive to sun.

Azelaic acid

Azelaic acid has clinical evidence for both acne and rosacea, and it is one of the gentler options for calming redness while also working on marks left behind.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
