For starters this is my first chemical exfoliant so I don't have any other products to compare it to. That being said this product works exactly as it's supposed to. I use it after double cleansing and using a pH balancing toner. I use this peel once a week to once every other week depending on how my skin in feeling. I can see the dead skin rolling off as I rub this product on my face. It leaves my skin feeling fresh and soft and who doesn't like that?
