The earlier call and its buying link are withdrawn while we reconcile the evidence. This is a correction to our work, not a finding that the product is ineffective or unsafe.
What we are correcting
FDA chemical-peel warning, July 30 2024
Earlier record: The danger is casual use, not the chemistry.
FDA warns that acid concentration, application count and contact time all affect chemical-peel injury risk. Its warning does not establish a product-specific injury rate, but our chemistry-versus-misuse claim was unjustified.

Earlier record: pH unavailable in the excerpt; disciplined home use earns the recommendation.
The brand currently declares pH 3.50–3.70 and a high free-acid concentration. Its experienced-user directions are manufacturer instructions, not independent proof of safety or of our buying recommendation.
