Chemist suggests using The Specialist as a mask, leaving it on for 5 to 10 minutes before rinsing off. They also recommend mixing a drop of the product with moisturizer for everyday use, especially during acne-prone times. While 18% mandelic acid may seem high, Chemist assures that it is still suitable for most skin types.

Review: Chemist Confessions presents the Baby Steps Exfoliation Treatment, a game-changer for those with dry skin. Contrary to popular belief, this gentle chemical exfoliator effectively hydrates the skin. The formula, developed with input from the Chemist confessions community, combines 30% gluconolactone and 15% lactic acid. Although these percentages may seem intimidating, rest assured that the product comes with clear instructions and has been endorsed by the community as both gentle and effective. With the Baby Steps Exfoliation Treatment, users can have fun, experiment, and experience the benefits of smoother, more radiant skin.

Chemist also mentions that at higher concentrations, like the 30% level, the Gold Standard Exfoliation Treatment can effectively combat fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation. This versatility makes it more than just a chemical exfoliant. For optimal results, they suggest using the product as a rinse-off mask once a week.
