I received a full sized bottle of this product for free from SK-II, but my opinions are my own. I have used this product for about 3 weeks, and my skin has remained free of breakouts, it is not overly dry or irritated, and it feels smoother. So I am confident that this product is exfoliating my skin in a gentle way, but I\’ve used other brands of exfoliating toner (with AHAs and BHAs) that have had the same effects for about one-third the price, so this is more of a splurge product and I won\’t purchase it myself.
