Three nights a week for three months on dry skin: tingles briefly, cheeks smoother, sun spots a shade lighter, no smell. Wear SPF with it.

Using the lactic acid every other night cleared their acne so much.

“I use the glycolic acid once a week on my scalp before I wash it & I was using the lactic acid every other night and it cleared my acne so much.”

Used overnight, it cleared every single milium by the next morning after years; glycolic the first night did nothing.

“Night two, I used lactic acid. I woke up the next morning and every single milia was gone.”

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

Uses it on their face instead of glycolic and it never causes irritation.
