Gentle Exfoliating Solution

product review positives
I received this product for free from Picky and elmt in exchange for my honest review. This solutions main ingredients are blueberry extract (antioxidant), 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid (antioxidant), raspberry extract (antioxidant), lactic acid (exfoliating), glycolic acid (exfoliating), panthenol (soothing) and allantoin (soothing). I was pretty surprised to see blueberry extract above water on the ingredients list as usually water is always the main solvent in skincare products. This just means that there is a higher percentage of blueberry extract in this solution than water. Which personally, I’m quite happy for. The ingredients list makes up of many antioxidants and soothing properties along with some gentle exfoliates. So the name was pretty on point. Due to how gentle it is I assume people with sensitive skin would love this. It’s brightening, soothing, exfoliating and encouraging skin cell turn over. It’s a very well rounded product. I used this 3 times a week and it never disrupted my skin barrier, it didn’t sting nor pill. I layered it with other soothing serums and it was a perfect first step prep for my skin. It has a very lightweight and water texture that isn’t sticky. However, if I applied more than one layer it did get sticky so the 7 layer toner step is out of the question. As I mentioned before this solution is very gentle and I was worried that my resilient skin wouldn’t see any difference (this has happened before with another exfoliating toner). That being said I have noticed my skin looking brighter. I’m not sure whether it’s the glycolic acid or the antioxidants but it’s working. I haven’t seen a reduction in my hyperpigmentation though, but I have only been using it for 2 weeks.
product review negatives
My only issue is that it’s not exactly stated where this goes in a skincare routine. I was a bit confused as I paired it with a very lightweight essence. Also the bottle is glass and I’m terrified I’m going to smash it. I’m not rough with my skincare but accidents happen and I live with a 15 month old who likes to make my stuff go missing.
