TOSOWOONG Glycolic Acid 10 Percent Cream AHA Exfoliator Skin Smoothing Cream for Dark Spots and Fine Lines 50 Milliliters

Feels really nice. Trying it out still to see how the results are but so far so good

Another great product from Tosowoong. This glycolic acid cream is strong enough to treat my back acne while still being very gentle on my skin. I was worried it might irritate me, but it feels comfortable and smooth after every use. It is gentle enough to use 2 or 3 times a week without making my skin dry or red. After a couple of weeks, my skin feels softer and looks brighter too. I also noticed some dark spots and small bumps fading slowly over time. The cream absorbs nicely and leaves my skin feeling hydrated and fresh. I love that it is not heavy or greasy. This has become one of my favorite Korean skincare products and I will definitely repurchase it again.

I ordered this because I stopped using exfoliants for a while when I first started prescription retinoids since I did not want to completely wreck my skin barrier trying to do too much at once. Now that my skin has adjusted a lot better, I wanted to carefully work exfoliation back in, especially for texture, dullness, and those little rough patches that can start creeping in when cell turnover feels uneven.After using this for two weeks, this definitely feels like a product for someone who already has at least some familiarity with acids. A 10% glycolic acid formula is not exactly where I'd personally start as a total beginner, but since my skin was more prepared for it this time around, I actually ended up liking how quickly it seemed to get to work. The texture has more of a treatment feel than a basic moisturizer, and I've been using it mostly at night as directed.What stood out most for me is that my skin started feeling smoother pretty noticeably. I tend to focus a lot on skin texture, and this helped make my skin feel softer and look a little more refined, especially in areas where I can get roughness or that slightly congested, uneven look. It gave me more of that polished effect I was hoping for rather than just feeling like another random exfoliating step.I was also relieved that, for me, the added panthenol and hyaluronic acid seemed to help balance out some of the harsher side of glycolic acid. That does not mean I'd call this gentle exactly, because 10% is still strong enough that I've been careful about spacing it around my retinoid use, but it has felt less drying than I expected. I think being strategic about when I use it has made a big difference.If you're already using stronger actives or have some experience with exfoliating acids, this feels like a solid option for bringing back smoother, brighter skin. I would still absolutely recommend sunscreen and a little caution, especially if your skin is already dealing with retinoids or sensitivity.Bottom line, this ended up feeling like a pretty effective re-entry into chemical exfoliation for me. It's strong enough that I respect it, but when used carefully, it's been helping with texture, softness, and overall glow in a way that feels worth adding back into my routine.

This TOSOWOONG Glycolic Acid 10% Cream is a nice exfoliating cream for helping skin feel smoother and look more refreshed. I like that it combines glycolic acid with panthenol and hyaluronic acid, so it feels like it helps with texture while still adding hydration. It's great for bumpy skin, dullness, dark spots, and fine lines when used consistently. My skin looks more polished and glowy after using it. Overall, it's a good Korean skincare cream for anyone wanting a smoother, glass-skin look.

I have been using this cream for a week, now.The product is a white cream.It spreads very easily.It has a faint smell that is hard to describe, but the closest I can come is that it smells faintly of warm plastic with overtones of cherry. What do I mean when I say it smells like plastic? I mean, like the white plastic that cheap patio furniture is made of, but heated by the sun. The smell is not unpleasant. The cherry notes of the fragrance may be a combo of the fruit extracts in the product. Among the various fruit extracts listed in the ingredient list are pear, peach, melon, anise, and vanilla.The product also contains centella asiatica extract.After applying to the skin, the cream takes a long time to fully soak in. My skin felt slightly tacky even after 30 minutes.The cream leaves the skin looking deeply hydrated.It's probably too soon to say after 1 week of use, but I can't say that I've noticed the exfoliating effect on my skin. However, where I've seen the effect of the glycolic acid is on my fingernail cuticles. After applying the cream to my skin, I massaged it in with the backs of my fingers, deliberately doing so to get some small amount on the cuticles of my fingernails.After 3 days of this, the cuticles were much more pliant and easier to push back. Any little cracked areas or hang nails just kind of smoothed out or peeled away.Verdict:As a facial cream, this is slightly on the heavier side. It would be good for a night cream. I have very dry skin, and this is wonderfully moisturising.I really like it as a cuticle cream, too. My cuticles have never looked healthier.5/5 Recommendd
