What the gurus are saying

This product earns praise for visibly shrinking pores and improving skin clarity, though there's a key distinction worth knowing: it's formulated as a chemical exfoliant rather than a traditional hydrating toner. That means it's best used as an active treatment step, not a hydrating base, so those new to exfoliants may want to ease in slowly or patch-test first to make sure their skin tolerates it well.
