"This one is not Dr V approved. The next product is their AHA BHA pH product. I thought I had it but I don't have it. 25% AHAs, the second ingredient is glycolic acid, the third ingredient is lactic acid. That's actually worse than this product by the way, so that is the other product to absolutely avoid."

"I've been meaning to start testing it, so this one I played with a few nights now and it's really nice. In here we've got [...] exfoliants, we've got glycolic acid, lactic acid, and salicylic acid. So [...] far so good with this one, it's really nice. No fragrance or anything like that."

"It's a peeling solution because it has a yellowish color. It's a two to five minute mask treatment. [...] I've just been using this for my weekly exfoliation and I absolutely love it. It's a gentle concentration so you don't have 10% lactic and 10% glycolic, it's a total concentration of 10% that's gentle. I think it's great for winters because winters exfoliation specifically is dry and flaky exfoliation."

What the evidence says.

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

Salicylic acid

Salicylic acid dissolves in oil, so it can get into a pore rather than just working on the surface. That is why it has long-standing evidence for blackheads and milder acne.

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.
