I bought this product as I had tried several scrub exfoliating products and this one is in gel-to-foam form, which suits me better.

A basic note here: IT IS NOT FOR EVERYDAY USE. The packaging may state otherwise, but glycolic acid, like any other exfoliating substance such as lactic acid, is better used a few times a week, as there is a big risk of over-exfoliating your skin daily, let alone twice a day. I used this product twice a week as an exfoliating product after cleansing with a regular cleanser. In detail:

The Pros:
- Cleans relatively well.
- Did not irritate my skin or cause breakouts or any other form of irritation.
- Excellent value for money.
- Has a good amount of glycolic acid for those starting with this substance. It is light on the skin and quite gentle.
- Does not leave any shine after rinsing, but does not dry it out significantly either.
- Exfoliates well, not intensely as it has a small amount of glycolic acid.
- Sufficient quantity in the packaging.

The meh:
- Has a light menthol scent that I don't know how many will like, it made me feel when I applied it but I got used to it.
- Needs a little work to foam on the skin.

The cons:
- This product, I repeat, IS NOT FOR EVERYDAY USE. The packaging wrongly states that it is for daily use. If you use it, gradually increase it up to 3 times a week but no more.
- A little issue with the ethics of L'Oreal regarding third-party testing is a bit of a problem...

And you will ask me: Why did I give it 4 stars? Because it is excellent value for money. It easily drops below 5 euros on discounts and is a good product for its price. Recommended only if you don't have an issue with L'Oreal as a company. Or with constantly smelling like Vicks Vaporub.

Clearly, it is an interesting cleansing product overall. However, it divides me. I will mention the positives and negatives (my skin is normal and slightly sensitive).

Positives:
* It requires a small amount, so the packaging is cost-effective.
* You feel that the skin is freed from impurities that accumulate throughout the day along with oiliness.
* It quickly dries out small pimples.
* The moisturizer absorbs incredibly well after cleansing, resulting in better performance.
* After rinsing, the skin immediately appears very bright.

Negatives:
* Unpleasant scent, which for some reason makes me dizzy.
* It causes a burning sensation in the eyes and even in the nostrils. Specifically, it feels like toothpaste has mistakenly been applied to areas of the face where it shouldn't be.
* It causes itching in areas of slight skin irritation, so it is better not to use it unless it has completely healed (e.g. peeling, a pimple that you slightly touched before cleansing).
* It does not lather, which initially makes you think that you need more product that you cannot handle afterwards, especially due to the intolerable scent.

Conclusion:
If I see after some time of use that my skin improves in texture, blemishes from pimples, and discoloration, I will likely choose it again, overlooking the aforementioned negatives.
