I suffer with very dry skin - so much so that the frequency with which I need to exfoliate means I often over-stimulate my skin which results in even more dryness and flaking. I therefore tried this as a 'chemical' alternative for exfoliating. I have only used twice so far but would say it is game changing. It is gentle (I have sensitive skin and there was no nasty tingle on application) and the brush applicator allows you to get a good coverage everywhere you need it. After only one use I noticed several dry patches had disappeared. With two uses most of my flaky pathches have gone. I am hoping longer term it may help with some blemishes too!
