I leave it on for 1 minute, then rinse it off with lukewarm water. Verdict: • What I liked about this product: I was very interested in the lower percentage of AHA contained in this product when compared to The Ordinary AHA/BHA peeling solution because I wanted to consider it as a gentler alternative that would not irritate my skin as much. I also like that it is formulated with niacinamide for pore care, emollients, as well as hydrating and moisturizing ingredients.The bottle comes with a dropper that is useful to dispense the amount you need, in my case 4-5 drops for my entire face. The texture of this peel is like a thick serum and is slightly tacky. I appreciated that the instructions stipulate to not leave the product on for more than a minute to avoid skin irritation. I still felt some tingling sensation and redness after application, but it quickly went away after washing it off. After a month of weekly use, I can definitely notice that my skin is smoother, less oily, and my pores are clean and appear smaller.
