What the gurus are saying

Despite its gentle formula with multiple acid types, this serum (10% AHA, 1% BHA, 1% PHA) delivers real results on ingrown hairs and keratosis pilaris without irritating the skin. Most found it dries quickly and doesn't feel sticky; a handful experienced tackiness. Apply one to three times weekly right after showering, rinsing the next day.

"This is a leave-on body exfoliation serum that has zero beads in it and is not aggressive. It is going to keep your skin looking smoother longer. It's great if you have keratosis pilaris, strawberry skin, ingrown hairs. If you're somebody who's constantly prone to ingrown hairs and if you're shaving, this is a great one to use to minimize those ingrown hairs over the long run. It is not sticky and is effective. I have really one major requirement when it comes to an after-shower product for my body—it has to have a fast dry down and I do not want to feel like I am sticky and cannot get dressed. This one is very effective and it's not sticky."

"If you're looking for a Body Peel treatment, Nécessaire came out with their Body Peel late in the year, definitely love it. It's a serum-like texture, you put it on after showering, rinse it off the next day, it doesn't irritate the skin and just gently exfoliates."

The Best of SEPHORA HOLIDAY SALE: New Finds, Favorites & My Wishlist
"This is a similar treatment to slather that you can use one to three times a week. It's a little more potent. It has alpha hydroxy acids, lactic and glycolic, beta hydroxy acid, and polyhydroxy acid, so it is a bit more intense. I would say it's more of an exfoliating treatment. So you get out of the shower, maybe put a hydrating lotion on, maybe something very thin like the Neutrogena Hydro Boost, and then put this on or nothing, put this on, let it kind of soak in a little bit, and then come in with a moisturizer. Whereas the slather you can use it more often, it's got retinol, urea, lactic acid, and squalene. So the Nécessaire doesn't have retinol, so these are an interesting combination. You could use this twice a week and this two to three times a week and your body will be so soft and smooth."

"I personally like to wash it off in the morning because it has a fairly tacky feel to it. It goes on like a clear gel and you just cover your body in it and let it soak in. It does take a little while to soak in, it is a little tacky. It's more of a special treatment that you might do on occasion. I can't say that I found amazing benefits from it and I wasn't a huge fan of how tacky it was, but if you're wanting to do a really deep full body exfoliation you might want to give this a try."
