Key ingredient

Glycolic Acid
Is naturally found in sugar cane, which has a small molecular size that allows it to penetrate deeper into the skin to target a variety of skin concerns. Glycolic Acid assists in unclogging pores, refining and diminishing the appearance of enlarged pores. Glycolic Acid reveals radiant glowing skin, by dissolving the bonds that allow old skin cells to stick together and thicken.
Resveratrol
Neutralises free radical reducing oxidative stress, increases anti-oxidant levels, improves fine lines and weines and increases skin elasticity over a period of 12 weeks.
Licorice Extract
Brightens overall complexion and fades dark spots. Soothes imflammation and reduces post breakout marks.

This was the fastest shipping ever

This was the fastest shipping ever. My products arrived so quick and packaging was so considerate and cute. They explained how to use each product. Excellent service. Even after first use of the products my skin brightened up. I bought Retexturizing honey, azelaic acid and glycolic toner. I emailed them about something and they replied very quick and assisted me.

Was sceptical with this one as glycolic acid can be harsh especially on us people of color. But after reading reviews, I decided to give it a try, I even Whatsapp SF just to be sure. And I am telling you I have been missing out. Best thing to ever happen to my skin. My skin is getting clearer and clearer, with even lesser acne breakouts. I am about to order my 2nd bottle and I see there's going to be a reformulation and renaming, I hope the new one is even better. I does the job without irritation just like this one. I highly highly recommend it.

Both my husband (combination/oily skin type) and I (combination/dry/sensitive) use this product and are happy with it. It does leave my skin red and slightly warm to the touch, but it doesn't bother me. We both find it leaves our skin smoother and feeling cleaner with less breakouts.

Depending on how sensitive your skin is, I might rather recommend the Mandelic or Lactic acid, but we've found that this works for us.

I absolutely love this product! It definitely is exactly what I need for my skin. For those who say the product is sticky, add a few splashes into your falm and pat on rather than using a cotton pad! It also saves product (mine lasts minimally 4 months with everyday application). LOVE THIS!!!

Best exfoliator ever. I cannot live without it. I only use it every second day though. I'd recommend using it at night as it is sticky. You wake up with soft, hydrated skin.
