What they liked

  • Gentle despite higher glycolic acid content
  • Mild exfoliation without harshness

What they flagged

  • May add unnecessary irritation

What the gurus are saying

Experts split on whether stronger exfoliation comes without irritation. The higher glycolic acid earns praise for delivering more noticeable exfoliation while staying gentle, though concerns persist that the increased potency adds irritation rather than improves skin.

"I've had no trouble using the intense AlphaRet, which just has a little higher glycolic acid, so you get a little more exfoliation, but it's still very gentle on the skin."
