PROS: Brightens your face after first use, it smells lovely, it gently exfoliates your face so you’ll not experience skin peeling unlike in other products, and it clears your blemishes in continued use. Lastly, it’s alcohol-free, paraben-free, and not tested on animals.
CONS: I don’t really see any cons besides you have to wear a sunscreen daily because AHA is an exfoliant and it strips a layer of your skin so it has less barrier to sun exposure. Although, I received feedback that some people get irritated by this product.

FYI: I like this product, I prefer to use By Wishtrend Mandelic Acid 5% Skin Prep Water because it suits my sensitive skin more.
