2nd time purchase
Stinging sensation but tolerable, effective for exfoliating and has helped with my uneven skin tone. Originally received the travel size kit and tried it, then purchased the full sized one because it works.

8% AHA Gel Exfoliant
Easy to apply. Smooth, pleasant texture. Not oily. Slightly stinging. May not be that suitable for sensitive skin. I’ll use it for a few more weeks to see if it continues to sting.
