The Edyt Score
4.4 / 5.0
This exfoliant is for those who want to smooth out rough texture and remove dead skin cells. It is best used if your skin can handle both a chemical and a physical exfoliant.
The paste texture has fine particles that provide physical exfoliation while you cleanse. It rinses off easily and leaves skin feeling soft.
The verdict
This is a solid choice if you like the feeling of a scrub but also want the benefits of an acid. Use it once or twice a week to keep skin smooth.
