I bought this because of the fruit acids it contains. I read in a magazine that AHAs were the right thing to use to try to get rid of those irritating white spots that clog your pores. I suddenly developed these on my cheeks a couple of years ago and nothing I did seemed to shift them. I tried this product and used it as per instructions (once or twice a week) but it didn't make any difference. I THEN DECIDED TO USE IT EVERY DAY AND .............IT WORKS!
I have combination skin. It may be too harsh to use it daily on dry skin. Clarins also warn against using the product if planning to sun bathe. (I live in Scotland: sun exposure is not a problem!)
I will continue to use this product. It's magic! The texture at first is rather surprising. I expect a toner to feel refreshing. This isn't. It is thick and gloopy and feels very sticky. However, it dries very quickly and does not leave a residue. I only use it at night. I tried it once in the morning, but as I wear foundation most days, it was not a good idea. Makeup tends to flake off. I suspect that twice a day might be too much anyway.
If you are looking for a result, this is it. I can't believe how much my skin has improved.
