What the gurus are saying

Gurus agree the serum delivers real exfoliating benefits and works well for beginners to chemical exfoliation, with consistent praise for improved texture and brightness. The main friction point is price, reviewers call it expensive relative to comparable AHA options and note results require months of consistent use. A secondary concern: the formula is too strong for young skin, and gurus flag it as an adult product not suitable for teens.

"In here are the stars of the show: glycolic acid, lactic acid, tartaric acid, and salicylic acid. It is a 10% blend of those ingredients and the goal of this one is to exfoliate skin, leaving it soft and smooth over time. Glycolic acid is one of the miracle ingredients that can help rebuild collagen in skin as long as you set the proper pH and proper amount, typically 10%. It will help with collagen production and deepen your skin over time. You can't use it for one day and then expect results, it will take months, but over time glycolic acid, like ascorbic acid, helps build collagen deep down in skin. It also helps improve skin texture, pore size, and brighten skin. It's also got some other nice ingredients: raspberry extracts, salicylics, marula oil, and sodium hyaluronate."

"This one's really expensive. A lot of people like absolutely like this product. I'm trying to finish it up, I've been working on it for quite some time now, but it's still overall a good product. Just for the price though, like, I don't know, it's 120 bucks now? It's ridiculous. If you're looking to add some good anti-aging into your skin, AHAs are a good way to go, and there's so many of them."

"Their TLC Framboos is a glycolic serum definitely suited for an evening skin care routine for gentle exfoliation. I actually found it a little bit more gentle than the Dermik Sleep serum that I've been using. I highly recommend using this especially if you're a beginner to glycolic. I suspect that the glycolic percentage in this is fairly low, but definitely always patch test if you're using an exfoliating serum for the first time."
