The Edyt Score

4.7 / 5.0

Key ingredients 4.6/5

A 21% acid wash-off with salicylic acid and AHA. A timed peel, not a daily cleanser.

Targets 4.7/5

For texture and clogged pores if skin already tolerates acids. Skip it on broken or freshly retinol-treated skin.

Formula standards 4.7/5

A wash-off. One minute is the idea. It will sting if you leave it. Rinse fully. Do not stack acids that day.

The verdict

A strong weekly peel if you already know acids. Start slow.
