  • “10% glycolic acid in a daily use toner is too aggressive for black skin”13:04–13:12
  • “I think there's this common misconception that black skin is tougher and it can handle more, but that's just not the case”13:10–13:15
  • “It's going to lead to PIH, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation in black skin”13:47–13:52
  • “Glycolic acid is one of those ingredients. It's the most popular AHA on the market, but it's just not suitable for skin of color”13:54–13:59
  • “It's one that I would tell you to side step and certainly not on the face and certainly not on a daily basis”14:00–14:06
  • “I would unfortunately rate this product at four out of 10”14:06–14:10
