So …yeah so it actually works y’all!!
I’d been using Hyaluronic acid which is great for moisture but when I get stressed out, I get pimples that result in dark spots. So I watched a few YouTube videos and the ladies(Dark Skin women) all recommended it. I had nothing to lose so I tried it. LET ME TELL YOU GUYS THAT IT WORKS! These days, I don’t wear as much makeup. I just put on lashes and draw my eyebrows in and I’m out. Just purchased more before this review!

I loved it!!...
I loved it!! Like all the products I ordered from you so far! The tone of my skin has been improving dramatically since I started using it but I noticed a small irritation and peeling around my mouth and cheeks. I use the glycolic acid toner every other night and the lactic acid in the morning together with the hyaluronic acid + B5 serum, the resveratrol and ferulic acid serum, vitamin C 30% suspension in silicone and of course a high spf sunscreen. Is there a chance I am combining the products in a wrong way or maybe I have overexfoliated my skin? Should I use the lactic acid less regularly? Thank you in advance!! Keep up with your amazing products!

Lactic Acid 10
As a 58 year old woman this is the best exfoliating product for me. No irritation, skin feels smooth and hydrated. Excellent product.
