when i used it my skin started peeling is that dead skin cells peeling off the top it only peeled where i had acne. i dont think it dried out my skin well maybe it did but does saciliyc acid peel off dead skin cells is tht what it was.
It will do a bit of exfoliating on the surface of the skin, but mainly it exfoliates inside the pores, basically cleaning out the junk in there. Glycolic acid (AHA) works better at exfoliating the skins surface.
