Review (5/5): Strong 20% Glycolic Acid, I Use From Head to Toe, Delivers Results, Fragrance Free...
This product is amazing. It is definitely what it says it is, 20 % alpha hydroxy in the form of glycolic acid. So, if you're looking for a pretty strong glycolic treatment you will definitely get it with this one. If you are a regular user of the stronger concentrations of glycolic then you know what to expect with one at 20%. But, if you are new to using glycolic solutions please use caution with this one. It is used for the body like your feet, knees, legs, and arms. It is very potent for those areas alone.
I use this on my face, neck, and decolletage as well. But, I can only handle it once or so a week on these more sensitive areas. Your face and neck will feel like it's burning/tingling for a little while after applying. The next day I usually do not use any other exfoliants or retinols. I also try to stay out of the sun as well. Your skin will be sensitive. It will end up slightly peeling which reveals your new, brighter skin. I know, the things we do for beauty and anti-aging... I apply coconut oil, vitamin E oil, and/or rosehip seed oil for the next couple days to soothe and combat dryness.
This Donell exfoliant moisturizer is somewhat of a gel/lotion consistency. Once it absorbs you don't feel anything heavy left on your skin. I've taken photos of the bottle, lotion consistency, and ingredients if interested.
This has smoothed wrinkles, lightened freckles, plumped out my facial skin, and made my skin less dull and more vibrant after using for the last few weeks. Excellent for that thick, dry unwanted skin on your feet, too. No added fragrance so basically no scent apart from that typical glycolic acid smell which is almost undetectable.
I use this from head to toe and am very pleased with my results. I will continue to purchase as this is one of the highest concentrations of glycolic acid in the form of a lotion that I can find without prescription. A little pricey but it's a full 8 oz. of product in bottle with a fliptop. More importantly, the product itself and results that it gives is well worth the cost!
