APLB AHA BHA PHA Centella Facial Cream | AHA BHA PHA CEN™ 26.0% 1.86 FL.OZ/Korean Skincare, Exfoliant, Deep hydration, Revitalize for gentle and improve skin texture

I've already ordered a second jar! It's a nice light exfoliating moisturizer cream. No strong fragrance or heavy cream to deal with! Given the 26% strength of exfoliating product, it is critical to use with a good sunblock and pay attention to how your skin deals with this level of exfoliation. I purchased this higher percentage exfoliant to deal with milia that had developed after a change in skin care. The non milia areas look fantastic and it is gently working on clearing the milia! Once my target areas are resolved of milia I will reduce to a once weekly use and find a lower percentage exfoliant to use on the remaining days.

I assumed when I ordered this, based on the 26% hydroxy acids and lack of instructions for use in the product description, that it was an exfoliating/resurfacing treatment. When I received it, in very fine print on the jar it stated that it should be used twice a day as a moisturizer. AHAs aren't typically recommended for daily use, much less twice a day. This seemed pretty gentle when I tried it, but not so gentle that I'll chance using it twice a day. It's completely fragrance-free, which I love because I really can't stand perfumy things on my face. Using it once a day, it leaves my skin feeling pretty soft and not at all greasy, but there is that very slight hydroxy acid tingle that reinforces my suspicion that at least for me, using this twice a day would be too much. It's a good size jar for a very reasonable price, currently $15, so the value is there and it's not an outrageous amount if you're looking for something that might improve your skin texture. I'd just recommend proceeding with caution and maybe starting with once a day until you see how your skin reacts.

This product is listed as an exfoliant, then as a moisture cream. I am confused how to apply or use it. There are no application instructions. Is it a scrub or leave on product. It has no smell and is mild. I used it on the back of my hands to see how it worked if left on. So far no reaction, hands feel ok. I like it if it is leave on so far.

Nice product

This is more of a first impressions review and I plan to update if need be if my views change. So far after one application during my night time skincare routine, I’m a fan of this moisturizer. I should mention it was the only product i used just so i could see only the results from the moisturizer. The texture is in between a gel and cream, which I like. It feels moisturizing without feeling heavy or greasy on the skin. It sinks in nicely and does not have any scent. Despite having multiple forms of exfoliating acids, it did not cause any irritation or breakouts for me (my skin is oily, prone to acne on my chin, but not sensitive). My skin looked nice waking up the next day. Tone looked even, texture was smoother. I’m a big fan. I wish the packaging was a little more luxe, like a glass jar but that doesn’t take away what the product can do.

This cream is a Korean brand skincare which contains AHA, BHA, PHA, Tea Tree Leaf Extract and Centella Asiatica. Due to centella asiatica, it is very moisturizing and good for sensitive skin although it has acids inside. It doesn't have any fragrance which is a big plus for sensitive skin. It is almost like a gel texture and sinks into my skin. I have been using this cream for a month religiously but couldn't see a significant improvement but I can tell that it is plumped and not too many dry areas on my mature, sensitive skin. I will keep using it and maybe order another jar to see the long term effect. The only thing that bothered me is the cheap quality of the jar. I always prefer a glass jar or at least sturdy plastic that I can tighten the cap. That is why I gave 4 stars.

I actually liked this cream a lot! A little goes a long way, but it’s not that if you use too much you’ll feel greasy, it is just that the product is thick and spreads nicely. It does not feel heavy or greasy. It applies nicely to the skin and leaves you feeling clean and moisturized. I am not sure how to describe it but my best attempt is to describe it as if it were a nice fast acting hand cream that seeps into the skin but feels as if you were naturally moisturized. It is really nice on the face and neck. I love it!

I haven't been using it too long but I'm already a fan. The cream has a gel cream texture that feels really hydrating and soothing. If I have any hot spots from irritation or blemishes, it seems to calm then down almost immediately. It's very lightweight but even though it seems light, it was still enough for my skin to feel moisturized. It works well on my oily skin but also keeps away any dryness and flakes. I don't use a lot of harsh active to exfoliate because it tends to irritate and cause more issues, but this is very gentle and nourishing. I've noticed a little difference but it hasn't been long enough to see results yet but I'm happy to keep using it until it's finished. Honestly, it's very affordable that I will probably get another one before I run out since it's working well that I could see it doing well in hot summer weather.
