I really like Pacifica’s GLOW BABY Booster Serum. I personally incorporate vitamin c serum in my daily regimen. I take it very seriously because I think when done well the product can be a game changer. What I like most about this serum is the smell! It smells just like a creamsicle. It is an uplifting fragrance that adds joy to the routine. In addition to that wonderful smell the weight and speed of absorbency are perfect. It has a light consistency that feels heavy enough to coat but light enough to work into skin and play nicely with moisturizer and makeup. This serum also has glycolic acid. It was an adjustment for me as I realized I preferred it when not paired with an exfoliant. When I did it gave a slight sting that made me think it was too much.

Clarifique Exfoliating & Hydrating Face Essence with Glycolic Acid. This product brings the best of both worlds together. They hydration and blancing of an essence, with the exfoliation of Glycolic Acid. It will exfoliate and nourish skin. I use it as part of my night time routine. It will help your skin better absorb the products you use on top of it. It has a water like consistency that immediately penetrates the skin.

I love Nudebody’s Exfoliating Butter Body Wash. This stuff really foams, and yet it is clean. Most clean cleansers get a minimal lather, but not this one. The packaging is simple yet chic and looks great on my shower shelf. You do not need to use a loofah with it, but you can. It uses salt, salicylic acid, papaya enzymes and glycolic acid, to exfoliate and citrus butter to hydrate. I like a chemical exfoliation in the shower since I find a lot of scrubs use a material that is too weak or too strong. My skin feels soft and clean after use. It is scented but I found the scent to be light, and doesn’t stay on the skin. I think all skin types would like this product, and the packaging is somewhat gender neutral.

Butter London’s So Buff Jumbo Hand and Foot Polish with Glycolic Acid is my favorite hand product I have found in a long time. It is not just for your hands. It is designed for feet as well, and of course you could use it where you choose like elbows and any other rough spot that needs attention. You simply massage the product onto your skin for a few seconds and then rinse off. I immediately noticed a super softness once I dried my hands and feet. I follow this treatment with their Extra Whip Hand & Foot Treatment for a fully pampered experience. I love that this not only softens but exfoliates as well. It’s packed with antioxidants, and the physical exfoliants are gentle yet effective. It has a nice delicate smell. I think it would be good for most skin types. Sensitive skin may want to spot treat. I recommend using SPF on your hands in the daytime.

leave that for your skincare. I love The Ordinary’s Glycolic Acid 7% toning solution. I did a lot of research to pick my next glycolic acid product and this one won out. In addition to the 7% glycolic acid, it has amino acids, aloe vera, ginseng, and tasmanian pepperberry. Glycolic Acid exfoliates the skin to improve radiance and clarity. It also improves the appearance and texture of skin. The Tasmanian Pepperberry is added to help reduce irritation associated with acid use. This large jar is less than $9!! So try this toner, and keep the ordinary to your skincare….

exfoliation with Serious Serum. This was developed as an ingrown hair eliminator, and then discovered to be so much more. Yes, it does fight ingrowns as good if not better than it’s counterparts. Additionally it fights keratosis, blemishes, and fine lines. You can use it on your whole face to fight whatever your issues are. There is no scent, and it glides on smooth.

Dr. Michelle Copeland developed AHA Body Smoothing lotion for the skin on your body – because it is not as delicate as the face. Therefore a stronger exfoliant should, and can, be used. This one contains glycolic acid, vitamin E, and Lipoic acid. This cream will soften and fight the signs of aging. I follow it with  Dr Copeland’s Body Moisturizing Lotion. So get soft skin, and let someone strong feel it….
