AHA 30% + BHA 2% Exfoliating and Brightening Peeling Solution
A bit less affordable but still in the less expensive skincare category. This is definitely less intense than The Ordinary one which is why I recommend this one more. It is suitable for most people and the ingredients are very clean in this one. You'...
