It is a larger molecule than glycolic acid, so it moves into the skin more slowly and more evenly. That usually means less sting and less flushing, which matters if you have tried acid exfoliants before and stopped.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePairs with\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/products\/clearstem-skincare-gentleclean-vitamin-infused-calming-wash\"\u003eGENTLECLEAN\u003c\/a\u003e before it, and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/clearstem-hydraglow-stem-cell-moisturizer\"\u003eHYDRAGLOW\u003c\/a\u003e after.
