Early verdict · Few reviews so farWhat the gurus are saying
Glycolic and lactic acids in this serum work to smooth texture and fade dark spots and sun damage, making it a solid entry point for those new to chemical exfoliants. The formula hydrates well enough to use alone, though pairing it with a moisturizer helps, especially at first. One thing to keep in mind: if you're already using retinol, combining them may increase irritation, so that's worth easing into slowly.
