Smooth Out.

"I'm going to put the Geek and Gorgeous Smooth Out on a cotton pad."

"First up is the Geek and Gorgeous Smooth Out liquid exfoliant. This one has 10% glycolic acid and 2% lactic acid. Also contains prickly pear extract, panthenol, and xylitol, which are all three great soothing ingredients. This one is literally a liquid, you can just pat it onto skin. This little bottle, probably an ounce, lasts me quite a while. You get a ton out of it. If you put it on a cotton pad, it won't go as far, but if you just use it as a liquid and pat it on, a little bit of it goes a long way. No scent, no fragrance, no alcohol, it's wonderful. Geek and Gorgeous has three different exfoliants, but if you're looking for anti-aging out of all three, this is the one you want to go to."

"For an exfoliant for brightening, my general recommendation is going to be glycolic acid, typically at a pH between three and four and in an amount about 10%. One that I like is the Geek and Gorgeous Smooth Out. It contains glycolic acid as well as lactic acid. It's in the proper pH. It's got 10% glycolic acid, 2% lactic acid, and with time, glycolic acid can help with collagen production in skin as well as improving hyperpigmentation. These are not products you want to add into your routine all at once. You want to slowly add these in over time and be patient, because typically the skin cycle is 30 days, but to notice the benefits with hyperpigmentation can take two, three months, and sometimes the more damage or the worse the hyperpigmentation is, the longer it will take to fix it."

"Here's another one where I've got the big size, so keep that in mind, it's not the little one. The big size is 3.38 ounces. In here it's got a 12% blend of glycolic and lactic acid, so we're missing the BHA, but it's still very effective and efficient. I think it might be worth some people checking out. This one's not a dupe, but it's an alternative, and it's wonderful. I really love this brand."

"If you're looking for anti-aging or anything like that, their Smooth Out is the way to go. Alpha hydroxy acids are proven to help thicken the skin as long as it's within the proper pH and the percentage. You want about 10 percent; this has got about 12 percent in it. So their Smooth Out liquid exfoliant is a good similar alternative to the Drunk Elephant TLC Framboos Glycolic Serum, which I think now is about 10 percent. It's a nice alternative to that. The nice thing with these is they come in pretty large bottles, they're all waterlike texture, and the pH is spot on. You can apply it by patting it onto your skin or with a cotton pad, dampen it on the cotton pad, whichever you prefer. If you're looking for anti-aging, AHAs are just totally proven to be great for firming up skin, which is what we need when we get older and our skin kind of needs that little bit of help. This one's great."
