What the gurus are saying

Despite its gentle formula with multiple acid types, this serum (10% AHA, 1% BHA, 1% PHA) delivers real results on ingrown hairs and keratosis pilaris without irritating the skin. Most found it dries quickly and doesn't feel sticky; a handful experienced tackiness. Apply one to three times weekly right after showering, rinsing the next day.

"If you're somebody who's constantly prone to ingrown hairs and if you're shaving, this is a great one to use to minimize those ingrown hairs over the long run. It is not sticky and is effective. I have really one major requirement when it comes to an after-shower product for my body—it has to have a fast dry down and I do not want to feel like I am sticky and cannot get dressed. [...] This one is very effective and it's not sticky."

"The Necessaire Body Peel Resurfacing Serum [...] does have a higher concentration of exfoliating acids that can, if you do it like maybe once a week or few times a month, more greatly improve your skin turnover and help with exfoliating some of the dead skin and brighten your skin. But again because of the higher actives it could be a double-edged sword, so always test."

"If you're looking for a body peel treatment, Nécessaire came out with their body peel late in the year, definitely love it. It's a serum-like texture, you put it on after showering, rinse it off the next day, it doesn't irritate the skin and just gently exfoliates."

"This is a chemical exfoliating treatment you can use one to three times a week. It's a bit more potent and intense than other options. It has Alpha hydroxy acids, lactic and glycolic, beta hydroxy acid, and polyhydroxy acid. [...] You get out of the shower, maybe put a hydrating lotion on, maybe something very thin, [...] and then put this on or nothing, put this on, let it kind of soak in a little bit, and then come in with a moisturizer."
