Early verdict · Few reviews so far

What the gurus are saying

This serum earns praise for its gentleness among those with sensitive skin, but reviewers consistently question whether that mildness comes at the cost of actual exfoliating power. One found it soothing initially, though after a month expressed doubt about delivering any real results. For sensitive skin seeking both comfort and genuine exfoliation, other options may strike a better balance.

"It's 3% PHA in orange water, which is an odd choice, but I have sensitive skin and ingredients like AHA are so hard for my skin type, so I loved how gentle this was. [...] After a couple weeks though I was thinking, it's gentle, but is it doing anything? [...] I still feel unsure that it's giving me quite the level of results I maybe hoped for. [...] I've only used it about a month, so maybe I'm speaking too soon, [...] but as of this moment I feel more eh about this one."

"In terms of the price, this is the full size, which is 4 oz, 120 mL, and retails for $20, which is pretty darn affordable. In the long run, if you use this, it will last a long time, especially if you just use it by patting it onto skin. [...] Overall, it's a decent product, but if you have sensitive skin, I'd recommend checking out something different for exfoliating."

"The ingredients and the experience of this one is so perfect and exactly what I love about Korean skincare. Just chalk full of really beneficial ingredients that are gentle but really effective. Exfoliating your skin during the winter is really important, but you don't want to overdo it with overly powerful exfoliating formulas, which is one of the reasons I love PHA and think that it's perfect for winter time."

What the evidence says.

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

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.
