I've liked using this as a body wash. I've experienced it helping to keep away acne on my shoulder/back regions. I appreciate the higher 3% concentration of salicylic acid AND sulfur combo that I haven't seen in regular store-bought cleansers I've used.

Advantages: Effective and Long lasting

Disadvantages: I didn't prefer it for my face so I use the Glycolic 10 instead.

This is the only cleanser that leaves me feeling clean without drying me out. I've searched the world over for a wash that doesn't trigger my allergies but can still clean my skin, pores included.

Advantages: Cleans without drying or triggering allergies; includes glycolic acid for anti-aging.

Disadvantages: None that I can think of.

Haven't been using this long enough to know for sure, but so far it seems that my age spots are fading. No noticeable difference in acne scars or large pores, but it is still early so I'm still hopeful. The consistency is more gel-like than liquid, which makes for easy application. Even on my sensitive skin, this only causes a very slight burning sensation.....very tolerable.

I purchased this product, not because I have acne, but because I suffer from ingrown hairs, razor burn, and razor bumps after I shave my face. I have tried at least a dozen products that are formulated with salicylic acid. Tend Skin, Bump Patrol, Follique, Skin Tight, the list goes on. They are not effective because salicylic acid only exfoliates, but does not kill bacteria. This product not only exfoliates, but it kills bacteria, thus completely preventing ingrown hairs and bumps after shaving. the salicylic acid preparations only address half of the problem. This product completely addresses the problem. And Kavi doubled down by putting camphor in the solution, which completely eliminates any inflammation. And the camphor provides even more anti-bacterial power. My skin has never been smoother. Anybody suffering from Pseudofolliculitis Barbae (PFB), you owe it to yourself to give this a try. It is head and shoulders above all other products on the market that address this condition. You will never have another ingrown hair. Period. And you only have to apply it once daily (right after shaving). I am a customer for life. Please do not stop making this wonderful product!

Advantages: Controls oily skin, but is not too drying
Kills bacteria
Prevents ingrown hairs and razor bumps
Soothing
Smells pleasant

Disadvantages: Absolutely none!

This review is for the 15% and 25% strengths. My last purchase of Salicylic Acid 15 (2oz bottle) lasted me about 15 facial peels, and I've been really eyeing the 25% strength for my shoulders, but didn't want to buy it and find it too strong. By my calculations, these new sample sizes should last about 3 to 4 peels, and so far, I'm 2 peels in and the bottle is about half finished.

If you haven't used a salicylic peel at these levels, I would definitely recommend starting with the 8 or the 15 to see how your skin reacts. The 15 does sting when I put it on, and it stays red for about an hour afterwards, but it has been working amazingly well for my acne. I'm probably going to buy another full size bottle of the 15 for my shoulders, however, as the 25 is just too strong for me.

Advantages: I don't have to make a big investment without trying the product first. Thank you for making these smaller sizes!

A fantastic fruit peel for skin that's too sensitive for glycolic acid.

KAVI's products seem to be of high quality and the Glycolic Acid 40 really helped even out my skin.

Advantages: Smoother looking skin

Disadvantages: Some discomfort with use

This product is really well designed not as intense as the glycolic acid peels but has all the benefits of glowing skin and evening of skin tone!! Would buy again!
