little white truths

Goldfaden MD claims/product details:

Verdict

I think this is a nice product and it definitely works, I just think it's expensive for what it is and I can use similar products from Alpha-H or even The Ordinary to get the same results for a fraction of the price.

It's a lightweight gel that applies and spreads well. It's thin in texture so you don't need much each time and this tube will last for ages, which at least makes it better value on a price-per-use basis.

You're meant to use this twice or thrice weekly on clean skin, and you leave it on for one to three minutes, depending on tolerance. I've been using mine twice a week for the last four months, and sometimes I leave it on for a little longer than directed because my skin is used to acids so I can tolerate them pretty well.

What I find is that this resurfaces my skin beautifully and removes that top layer of dead skin easily. After use my skin is left looking brighter and feeling smoother, and it looks more even and youthful to boot. It also helps my skincare to apply and absorb better after use, because it's cleared the path so things can really sink in and nourish my skin.

I also like that this hasn't irritated my face while I've been using it, and I think it's been formulated well. It feels quite soothing and cooling when applied, and although I'm aware that it's working, I don't think it's too harsh or irritating - or at least it isn't on me.

On the claims: yes this helps with uneven skin texture; yes it's non irritating (on me); yes it helps my skin look brighter, fresher and more youthful; yes I think it's helped reduce my break-outs; and yes it leaves my skin feeling softer and smoother.

Overall I think this is a decent product that generally meets its claims and I do recommend it, it's just that it's expensive for what it is and it doesn't work any better for me than eg the acids from Alpha-H and The Ordinary. So while I like it, I wouldn't buy it again.

Good but not cheap.
