What they liked

  • Instant glow and smoother skin texture
  • Convenient pump dispenser
  • Good value for the size with regular use

What they flagged

  • Potent enough to cause sensitivity if overused
  • Pricey compared to single-acid alternatives

What the gurus are saying

A visible glow emerges within 10 minutes of application, with skin noticeably smoother and more radiant even after a single use. The mask packs enough strength that once or twice weekly is all most people need, though those with sensitive skin may want to start with once a week to avoid irritation. Gurus praise how it simultaneously exfoliates and brightens, making it particularly effective for fading hyperpigmentation, and note that the centella and vitamin C together boost collagen production more than vitamin C alone.

"This is a mask that has some great brightening ingredients, exfoliating treatments, and that great ethylated ascorbic acid, too. This is like our one-stop shop instant glow up facial. So twice a week, put a thin layer of this on, leave it on for 10 minutes, rinse it off, and you'll be glowing to the gods, getting your vitamin C dose alongside all those other great benefits. And this is a vitamin C and exfoliator all in one. So that's just nice in terms of streamlining."

VITAMIN C - Everything Is About To Change (The End Of Ascorbic Acid)
"This is a mask that has some great brightening ingredients, exfoliating treatments, and that great ethylated ascorbic acid, too. This is like our one-stop shop instant glow up facial.

"This is the ultimate when it comes to quick fix skincare. In here you've got a beautiful blend of different exfoliating acids, you've got vitamin C, you've got some glutathione, you've got a plethora of plumping and hydrating ingredients too. If you've got a big event, a photo shoot, dinner, or you just want to look your absolute radiant best, put a layer of this on for 10 minutes the night before you want to glow to the gods and you'll wake up radiating. I did it last night and honestly I woke up looking in the mirror and thought today is going to be a good skin day. You don't want to overdo this, this packs a punch, it's a potent potent product, so I wouldn't use it more than once, maybe twice a week. But when it comes to fading hyperpigmentation, glowing you up in a flash, and just smoothing everything out, this product is it. After you've used this the night before, on the morning you'll radiate so much more. It's like that glow from within look which I love. You'll find that your makeup applies so much better because the skin's hydrated and it's plumped out so you get that better makeup application. It definitely helps to really supercharge your hyperpigmentation routine. I tend to do this just once a week, I find that's enough for my skin. If I use it more frequently I might open things up to sensitivity which I don't want. But as a flash facial fix, this is everything."
ULTIMATE SKIN BRIGHTENING - Better Than Vitamin C (Glow To The Gods)
"My absolute favorite product that contains glutathione is the PSA Skin Follow the Light Radiance Peel. The reason I love this is it's got a high dose of glutathione and you only need to use it a couple of times a week. So if you like the idea of glutathione but you don't want another ingredient to incorporate, another serum to incorporate in your skincare routine on a day-to-day basis, using something like this a couple of times a week will get you that glutathione hit alongside a beautiful blend of other exfoliating acids and definitely makes a meaningful difference to the luminosity of the skin. Best thing is if you're using a weekly or twice weekly exfoliant, this kind of replaces it because this has glutathione and those exfoliating acids all in there, so you don't necessarily need another skincare product. You could just swap out your existing exfoliator for this one and see some enhanced benefits. I love this. It can be hard to get your hands on, but be patient. If you can get it, honestly this is my personal favorite when it comes to glutathione alongside so many other benefits."
Top Rated Anti Aging Serums 2025 - SUPREME ANTI AGING RESULTS
"This is a treatment that you're going to want to use twice a week max, but in just those two applications, you'll get the same results as a treatment that you use every single day because this is so so powerful. You have a beautiful blend of a different exfoliating acids which going to smooth everything out. The concentration of glycolic acid in here is also going to increase the rate of collagen and elastin production. Amazing if your key focus is fading hyperpigmentation. But you also have vitamin C and centella asiatica together here. There was a recent study that showed if you use centella asiatica and vitamin C together, it actually quadruples the amount of additional collagen produced versus just using vitamin C in isolation. So this is going to be a powerhouse when it comes to boosting collagen. It's going to be phenomenal when it comes to minimizing the appearance of hyperpigmentation. And it's also got some great calming and soothing ingredients. So it's that sort of product that will genuinely work for almost everyone out there. Twice a week is all you need with this because it packs a punch. If you're somebody that really wants to streamline everything down to the bare minimum, you want the results from twice a week is what you'd normally have to use every single day, this is a win. At the moment, this is already super affordable."

"This is the Follow the Light Mask, this is a great exfoliator to use twice a week in a mask form, put it on the skin 10 minutes later rinse it off. Your hyperpigmentation will fade far quicker and it's just a step up. It is slightly more expensive than The Ordinary glycolic acid but I think for the quality of the formulation it's worth every penny."

"This one actually has a great blend of glycolic acid which is a great exfoliant, you've got lactic acid, you've got salicylic acid, you've also got a touch of vitamin C and in here you've also got glutathione. This is just a great all round brightening treatment for the skin. Once or twice a week is all you need for this. For me twice a week is best, but if you've got very sensitive skin type, once a week is all you need. And there's a great little glow up hack that you can use before a special event or you know use it on a Sunday night before you go to work for the rest of the week to just make sure that you're going to be radiating."
10/10 PERFECT SKINCARE - Best Skincare 2024
"This is the PSA Skin Follow the Light Radiance Peel. It's got multi-acids in here and vitamin C. You put this on the skin, let it sink in for like 10 minutes and then rinse it away and you get that instant glow up, that red carpet skin. You'll be glowing to the gods. It's a 10-minute flash facial. It's really affordable for what you're getting. I use it once, twice a week, so save it for those special occasions where you have your photo taken, you're going to a dinner, you want to impress someone. That's the moment when you're going to crack this out 10 minutes before you do the rest of your skincare routine and you will be radiating, you will be glowing so much people have to have their dark shades on as they're walking past you. It's that good. I use it a couple of times a week. I'm never without it. It just works. And I love the fact that we now have these products which can kind of cheat what we want to get long-term in the short term. We know that skincare is a marathon, it's not a sprint, but sometimes we just want those quick wins. And if you want a quick win, this is where it's at. Glows you up in a fraction of the time of any other product. That's why that's getting 10 out of 10 and I love it."

"The Follow the Light is an exfoliator base but also has some vitamin C in it. You leave it on the skin for like 10 minutes, rinse off, and it just glows up, boosts radiance and hydrates. If you like exfoliating acids and want a twice weekly exfoliation treatment to get your glow, then the Follow the Light is for you. I tend to use it once a week that way I'm getting a good exfoliation. Both of these will give an instant glow up, so if you wake up and your skin's looking a little dull or you've got a big event and you want your glow game to be on point, 10 minutes on the skin, rinse it off, and you will be glowing."

"I used this which is the PSA Skin Follow the Light Multi-Acids and Vitamin C Peel last night, which has a high dose vitamin C. It's like a bit of a brightening facial, and the next day I always skip my vitamin C because I don't want to overdo it on the skin."
My MORNING SKINCARE ROUTINE - Guaranteed To Boost Skin Collagen
"You leave it on the skin for 10 minutes rinse it off and then get on with the rest of your skincare. 10 minutes not a massive investment for that glow up. I do this once a week on a Sunday. I absolutely love it. It's in a really convenient pump and I use I'd say like three pumps for the whole face. My skin just feels so so soft supple and not dry at all. I absolutely love it. It's definitely not the cheapest product out there but for a once a week treatment that lasts probably six months definitely worth the price point. With the buy one get one free discount it works at like 22 pounds per tube which I think is really really good."

"I've used this amazing glycolic acid based peel, which is the PSA Skin Follow the Light Multi-Acids and Vitamin C Peel, for the past 6 months and I absolutely love this because it has that right dose of glycolic acid in the right pH. However, this is sold out at the moment."
THE TRUTH ABOUT VITAMIN C - How To Use Vitamin C Like A Pro
"This is the PSA Skin Follow the Light mask. Again, you've got ascorbic acid, that vitamin C in here alongside a high-dose glutathione. Works super quickly. You only actually need to use this twice a week as a 10-minute leave on treatment, and you will be glowing to the gods. That hyperpigmentation will be erased, and you'll just have a boost to your skin confidence. It works so quickly because of that glutathione. But just beware, this packs a punch. So, a couple of times a week as a 10-minute leave-on treatment is all you need. But one of my absolute favorites."
BEST VITAMIN C SKINCARE 2024 - Next Level Anti Aging
"My favorite vitamin C mask is the PSA Skin Follow the Light Radiance Peel. In here you've got vitamin C in two different forms which I love, combining a little derivative action with some pure form vitamin C too. You've got a blend of exfoliating acids and glutathione which I love. Glutathione and vitamin C is like the dream pairing. You want to use this once or twice a week to get your glow game on point and get that radiance through the roof. It's great for people that are quite sensitive to vitamin C, so if you're somebody that using it every single day it just doesn't work for you then switch to something like this. A couple of times a week with a vitamin C product like this is going to get you the same glowing, radiant results as using a lower strength option every single day. This mask is an absolute Holy Grail in my skincare routine for those days where I need that little pick-me-up, I need a boost in that luminosity."
5 BEST BRIGHTENING SERUMS - Glowing Skin Guaranteed
"This is the PSA Skin Follow the Light Multi-Acids and Vitamin C Peel. I love PSA Skin, the names that they give their products, the colors. This is a sort of product where in the dull winter months where things are quite dark, maybe the weather's a bit on the gloomy side, you reach for a product like this and think yes, this is uplifting, it's vibrant because of the beautiful ombre pink color which I love, and a really convenient pump too. So this is actually rather than a serum, strictly, a mask that they recommend you use once or twice a week. It's like a flush facial for giving you that glow up and that radiance boost, and honestly it works. You put about three pumps to cover the whole face, and what this will give you is a 10 percent concentration of a blend of exfoliating acids, glycolic, lactic, and salicylic acid, so pure form vitamin C, some centella, which together vitamin C and centella boost collagen production which I love. It's also got glutathione, it's got licorice in here, and a lot of other pigment correctors. So actually after just one use you'll notice that your glow game is on point, the skin feels smoother, and this acts as your radiance boost and your exfoliator all in one. Don't overdo it, once a week is all you need, and this will give you that glow boost."

Yay
"I absolutely love [...] this one. If you're wanting a power exfoliating experience that still prioritizes skin sensitivity, I feel like this one is an awesome one to use. It features glycolic acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid, and has vitamin C as well as centella asiatica to help reduce any redness or sensitivity. It's definitely power-packed and going to give you the results that you want, but still a peel that I would only recommend you using like once every two weeks or once a month. It's definitely not a product that you want to be using super frequently."
Yay
"The PSA Skin Follow the Light is my favorite between the two. It's just a rinse off chemical exfoliating mask. It's got 10% mixture of glycolic and lactic acid, also contains 5% vitamin C, pomegranate enzymes, centella, and then lactobacillus ferment. It also has glutathione and vitamin E. You just apply it once a week or twice a week for 20 minutes then rinse it off. It's really a nice mask. I love some of their products and I really love a lot of their products."
