What the gurus are saying

This formula gets smart about exfoliation safety by using lower concentrations of photosensitizing acids alongside non-photosensitizing alternatives and enzymes that work together to loosen dead skin and oil without needing higher acid percentages. Kelly Driscoll found it leaves skin noticeably smoother, softer, and brighter, with improved hydration when used once or twice weekly, and notes the serum's precise dropper and thin texture make it last well despite mid-range pricing. One other taker found it reasonably priced, though not much else has been weighed in yet.

"When you wake up, your skin is smoother, it's softer, it's brighter, it's more rejuvenated. When I use this product especially consistently, and for me that's like once a week, I notice that my skin is retaining a lot more hydration as well. It's just generally looking better. And I think the rest of my skincare products are just working better because I'm getting that nice gentle dose of consistent exfoliation without blasting my skin. It's a mid-range priced product."

"Lanz has their Waterbank Aqua Facial Serum with BHA and AHA. 1 oz for 36 bucks. This one also has glucactylone and sugar maple. It's got lemon extract. Might be too scented. Um sugar cane. It's got some ferments in there which look nice. Um orange fruit extract. I'll check that one out too. But that one's at least not terribly expensive. But with K beauty, I always expect it to be a little bit less than everything else."
