Review: Good product - Pleased with this product. Absorbs well and non-greasy.
Review: The best I've used. - I've tried various glycolic acids but this is by far the best. It is good quality and doesn't contain any ingredients that aren't necessary. It does what glycolic acid should do and has been very effective in making my skin glow more. It has a nice texture, no smell and any stickiness disappears very quickly.

*by M***T on 17 July 2025*

I have been using this consistently once a day, every day and I can see my little lines around my eyes already less pronounced. Super clean feel and very hydrating - I would defo recommend. Good value as well, and especially when on sale as a small drop goes a long way.
