Next time you want results, look on the back of the bottle and the price tag. This #supertoner is definitely jam packed with acids as it says though I am wonder where the PHAs are? (Polyhydroxy acids are the cousins of AHAs but really only act on the surface of the skin instead of deeper like AHAs) There is a good amount of buffering systems in place so as to not cause burns but one with sensitive skin (like myself) might see peeling, redness, or irritation.
