Older than 36 months. These may describe an earlier version.

Had used Framboos before without issue, but a repurchase stung immediately and left their face red and inflamed.

“It stung almost immediately. I washed everything off but now my face is so red and inflamed.”

After a few years on T.L.C. Framboos, finds it OK but weak; their skin got used to it quickly.

“Tlc is ok but it’s not very strong in my opinion my skin got used to it very quickly & I felt like it wasn’t doing much anymore.”

With normal-dry skin, prefers T.L.C. Framboos over Honeymoon Glow; slightly sticky texture.

“I have normal-dry skin. I prefer the TLC over Honeymoon Glow, only because I think the salicylic acid works better than the willow extract for me.”

Uses T.L.C. Framboos most nights mixed with Marula oil; Honeymoon Glow stings them more.

“I prefer TLC because I like to mix it with their Marula oil and I use it on most nights.”

On a brand rep's advice they used T.L.C. Framboos for texture and woke up with new breakouts every morning, told it was purging.

“the TLC framboos glycolic night serum would help with my texture. I quite literally woke up with new breakouts every morning”

Framboos works really well for them, though the price hurts.

Has tried dupes but finds nothing works quite like Framboos.

With sensitive, eczema-prone skin, Framboos is one of the only acid exfoliants they can use without a reaction.

“Their TLC Framboos and A Passioni are especially good for me because they are two of the only actives I’ve found”

A long-time Drunk Elephant user calls T.L.C. Framboos a holy grail that their skin loves after hating other chemical exfoliants.

“The T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum is a holy grail for me. My skin loves it and has hated other chemical exfoliants.”

Uses Framboos daily with retinol; it keeps them smooth and helps hyperpigmentation, PIE and breakouts.

“I love Framboos. I did not like the Farmacy Honeymoon Glow, i ended up returning it”

Their skin looks much better on Framboos, the standout of the line for them, outperforming Good Genes.

“Framboos is the one standout in their line imo. My skin looks so much better when I am using this.”

Found Framboos drying and saw no results.

“I find the Framboos to be more drying than Good Genes. The Framboos didn’t do anything for my skin either”

T.L.C. Framboos was harsh and broke them out, unlike Good Genes.

“TLC Framboos was harsher and made my face break out so now I have an unused bottle of Framboos on my shelf”

Their skin looked brighter and plumper on Framboos, though a cheaper Pixi serum gave the same results.

“I noticed my skin looking brighter and plumper when I started using Framboos”

Framboos worked better for their texture than Good Genes; they liked its glycolic, salicylic and lactic combo.

“If I had to choose between the two, Framboos worked better for me.”

After two weeks, T.L.C. Framboos made no visible difference to pores or texture and left their skin looking tired and dehydrated.

“What can I say? It did not deliver. At all. I wanted to believe my skin texture became better, but photos showed no difference.”

After two months on Framboos, they've noticed no real difference and won't repurchase.

“I've been using Framboos for two months now. My skin feels nice in the morning (though I doubt that's solely because of the Framboos”

Loved T.L.C. Framboos but found a Paula's Choice AHA/BHA treatment more effective at half the price.

“I loved the TLC Framboos, but it is pretty pricey.”

Absolutely loves T.L.C. Framboos and noticed real results.

“That’s too bad! I absolutely love TLC and noticed real results in my skin.”

After about two months, Framboos brightened them at first but then mostly dehydrated their skin.

“I used the travel Framboos for about 1 1/2 - 2 months? I feel like my skin probably just doesn't care much for glycolic acid.”
