ISNTREE - Biyangkaaa review for Chestnut AHA 8% Clear Essence

Product Details: - 4% glycolic acid (smallest molecular size of AHA that deeply and quickly penetrates into skin - 4% lactic acid (has hydrating and gentle properties of AHA) - Remove dead skin cell to reveal a smooth and brighter complexion Other Notable Ingredients - Hyaluronic acid - Madecassoside - Licorice root extract - Glycerin Experience: I’ve been using this for almost 2 months, 2x a week at night time and I fell in love with it! It was said to be for normal to dry skin but it is actually good for oily skin too! I like the watery texture and it has no scent/fragrance either. I have tiny bumps on my forehead I think because of clogged pores and I have oily skin. A week of using this, I can see brightening effects. For my tiny bumps, it already smoothen on my 1 month and half of use. This was my first time of using chemical exfoliation so I don’t know if the time duration of smoothening my skin is slow or just fine. I think this is a gentle AHA since I haven’t gone purging or have a tingling sensation, but the first time I used it, I rarely touched my face because when I touch my face it felt a little itchy, that was on my 1st and 2nd use only. It’s been 2 months and I have glowy smooth skin right now! I could say the best purchase on my 2021! Final thoughts: This is good for a beginner on doing chemical exfoliation, but always take note that we all have different skin so always patch test. I will be repurchasing soon the minis again because I feel like this is much more practical. The bigger size contains 120ml but the PAO is only 6 months, I think I can use half of it until its PAO because I just do 2x a week and then the other half could be a waste since it’s a chemical exfoliator and I think its unsafe to use it after the PAO because it’s chemical unlike the other products which still can be used after PAO. But if you want to purchase the regular size, you can use it on your underarms to utilize the product. So far my only concern is the short PAO. All in all it's a big heart heart! *Self purchased
