I bought this as I had heard it was a great (cheaper) dupe for the Pixi Glow Tonic. I'm a huge fan of The Ordinary and own most of the range but what surprised me about this was just how much it stings! I'd expect a tingle because of the glycolic acid but this actually hurts!

Back to Pixi Glow Tonic for me. Show less
