Overview
Cicatricure brings glycolic acid, lactic acid, and salicylic acid together in a cream formula that comes in at 5.07 fluid ounces total. All three are recognized exfoliating acids: glycolic and lactic are AHAs that work on the surface of the skin, while salicylic acid is a BHA that can get into pores. Together, they target the appearance of roughness, uneven tone, and congestion.
The kit is formulated for all skin types and is completely fragrance-free, which makes it a more approachable option for people who react to scent. It comes in tube packaging, which keeps the formula clean and reduces air exposure compared to jar formats.
With 185 reviews and a 4.5 rating, buyer sentiment is quite positive for a kit at this price point. The fragrance-free formulation stands out, since many acid-based kits include added scent that can irritate already-sensitized skin.

Performance notes
Glycolic acid and lactic acid are alpha hydroxy acids that support cell turnover and may help with the look of dullness and uneven texture. Salicylic acid is oil-soluble and targets the appearance of congestion and enlarged pores. The combination covers both surface and pore-level concerns. The fragrance-free formulation reduces the risk of irritation for reactive skin.
What buyers say

Frequently asked questions
Is this kit safe for sensitive skin?
It is formulated for all skin types and is fragrance-free, which removes one common irritant. That said, AHAs and salicylic acid can cause sensitivity in some people, especially with frequent use. If your skin is reactive, starting slowly and using a moisturizer afterward is a practical approach.
How much product comes in the kit?
The total size across the kit is 5.07 fluid ounces. The formula comes in tube packaging, which helps protect the acids from air and light exposure over time.
Can I use this kit every day?
Daily use of a triple-acid kit is not typically recommended, especially if you are new to exfoliating acids. Starting with a few times per week and observing how your skin responds is the more cautious route. Always follow with SPF in the morning, since acids can increase sun sensitivity.
