I can't believe that I spent so much money on a trial sized bottle of anything..It doesn't work as well as many other cheaper serums that I've used..I want my money back.

I’ve tried COUNTLESS products for my skin, including retinol, which ended up being too harsh. This lactic acid serum is a great alternative, and has completely changed the texture of my skin for the better. This and the vitamin c serum are BEST things I’ve ever used and are worth every penny!!!
OUTSTANDING

Unfortunately for my wallet this product works amazingly well. I've actually just emptied my 3rd bottle. I have pretty balanced to dry skin, my main skin concern is always texture. This product will take my skin from the crustiest depths to clear skin. People always compliment skin and this is the one product I have consistently used for 4 years. There's nothing like it.
Very Good Product on 2nd mth - Not so good Packaging

I have tried probably over a couple dozen Lactic Acid products. I have sensitive skin, combinations also with sun damage from my 20's. I am in my early 50's now with minimal fine lines around my eyes but had strong frown line between eyes. I have used it for a month with the CEO cream and I have seen a difference. There is a younger feel, brighter glow and a more youthful overall look to my skin. Give the product a chance at least a month remember this is a skin product not the fountain of youth. You have to set a realistic expectation from your skin care routine. Also this product is for under, around your eyes and up to your brow if you have sensitive skin do not put it on your eyelids. But from someone who has tried many products expensive and less expensive I like this product I see change in my skin texture, color, dullness, reduces puffiness to a degree(I think that took a little longer) and even fine lines. I gave it 4 stars only because of the packaging I have learned when the bottle is out of pumps it doesnt mean the bottle is empty I opened it up and found more inside so I took off one star for that.
Love it!

Listen, I'm not a skincare girlie, but my mom tossed me this because she didn't like the smell (it smells like black licorice sort of) and its one of the only times I've actually noticed my skin looking better than it usually does. I am going to try a dupe now that I went to rebuy and a 9 dollar alternative immediately came up. I'm assuming Lactic acid is Lactic acid.
I will purchase this product again

This product is a game changer. I have purchased many products and this one has exceeded my expectations. My skin feels and looks more radiant and the fine lines are barely visible. The difference was noticeable within one week. I am very happy with this product and the salesman, Nate, who introduced me to the product.

Although I did see results with this product, it lasted less than a month and I used less than the suggested amount. I took the bottle apart to get every last, expensive drop and I was shocked at the packaging. What a scam! They should be ashamed!
not a lot of product, misleading

I was hesitant to purchase but glad I did so. It's a good maintenance and balancing serum, feel I've seen some texture and tone improvement.

Can definitely tell that it is the real thing (lactic acid, that is), because it stings like crazy when you have a healing blemish! It's a short-term sting though, so not unbearable. The packaging is tricky to get every last bit out- but you can tell that they put thought into trying to utilize a system that gets you every last drop. Love this stuff.
Best stuff ever!

I used to use this product 2023, worked amazing. I purchased another bottle 2024, it made my eyes swell, skin welt with what looked like hives. I tried 2 days ago (new bottle), the lactic acid did it again, welts and burning red, swelling around eye.
Expensive but worth it!

This stuff is a miracle worker. I struggle with dry patches and this fixes that. Pores look smaller, fine lines disappear, skin looks so glowy and smooth. I'll continue to repurchase for sure
