Advantages: Improves skin tone, evens the skin, minimizes break-outs

Disadvantages: Errr... price - it's the only one

The idea of this product is simple and great: if you want to have new skin, you have to get rid of your old one. Hence, exfoliate. Not in an obvious scrub-it-away way, but using some hi-tech ingredients which work in deeper layers of skin and speed up skin's natural ability to regenerate and renew.

The thing is that you have to use it for quite a while to see any results. But once you include it in your daily skincare routine you will surely notice some improvements. For me, it evens the skintone and makes skin more smooth. The complexion becomes brighter and more healthy-looking. And it also minimises break-outs as the dead skin cells don't clog the pores. So it just does what it promises!

As this product is more like a serum, not a cream, you can't use it as a standalone. One of its main ingredients is salicycic acid. It's a powerful exfoliator, but it can dehydrate skin. So you should use a moisturizer afterwards, otherwise skin feels tight.

The Concentrate doesn't work any better than the classic Turnaround. I don't really understand why they discontinued the classic version becuase many people say they loved it more. Is it just marketing? But still for me it's a great product and I continue using it in the new formula.

Summary: Well, it's not a must-have product.... But it's a nice-have one!
