Ready Steady Glow Daily AHA Tonic.

"This one is an AHA tonic as well but the AHA in here is lactic acid. Lactic acid is a step down from glycolic acid, it has bigger molecules and doesn't penetrate the skin cells as quickly as glycolic, so it's a lot milder, especially on people of color, it's a lot gentler, it's not as harsh, and I love that for us. It has 4.5% lactic acid, so not as high as the one from the ordinary, and it also has a pH between three and four. I personally found it very hydrating. I love the dropper on this one a little bit better, though I wish the dropper was a little different because it kind of squirts out everywhere when you use it, but that still doesn't deter me from picking it. It also has salicylic acid to help refine the skin as well as BHA to help unclog the pores and prevent any potential acne from forming. It's very hydrating, it just really feels amazing on the skin, while the ordinary wasn't doing anything for my skin and my skin felt sticky and dry, with this one my skin felt moisturized. Without question I picked this one because it feels so much better on the skin. This product is definitely a really really awesome product, I think Ren really did a wonderful formulation here."

"I do like this as an AHA tonic, but it has azelaic acid in it as well. This is really the only liquid azelaic acid product that I could find. Unfortunately, it doesn't hold up to a lot of those claims. It smells very orange citrusy, and I tend to have more irritation to citrus, so maybe that was another reason that this didn't work for me, but this was just kind of a disappointment from the azelaic acid perspective. For the azelaic acid, I just didn't find this to have the benefits. Again, with azelaic acid we want it to help with that redness, we want it to help with acne, and we want it to help with that brightening. But I found that this not only didn't do that for me, but it really doesn't do that for others. It's more of just like an exfoliating liquid."
