Our take

HashMonkey score: 4/5 ★★★★★☆☆☆☆☆

Our editorial opinion, based on research into the listing, brand details, owner feedback and expert reviews. Not hands-on testing, and not an Amazon customer rating.

It's a cult product for good reason. Still, cheaper lactic acid serums exist, so buy it for the formula and feel, not the hype.
