What the gurus are saying

Unanimous yay from 2 reviewers. Cassandra Bankson and HotandFlashy both rate it highly. Top take: "This is intense this is from the ordinary but this is something that I first started using on my face then I started using on my armpits and now yes I've been trying it on my scalp and as long as you don't have any open wounds this doesn't burn or anything like that but it actually helps to break down desmosomes", Cassandra Bankson.

"I feel like using an Alpha Hydroxy Acid is super important and agency doesn't offer Alpha Hydroxy Acid so I continue to use my Ordinary Alpha Hydroxy Acid, you know my lactic acid."
