We've all tried Retin A, well at least most of us 30-40 somethings and found it to work great, or at least I did, however some will argue that it is harsh on the skin. For those that find Retin A annoying and bothersome not to mention a bit heavy on the ol' pocket book this is another product you can use that will give virtually the same results AND at a very affordable price. Alpha Hydrox products! They contain glycolic acid in amounts from 10-14% and are AMAZING with fading discoloration and fine lines and wrinkles.
You may remember Alpha Hydrox products back in the late 90's, I remember them at Wal-mart. I never did use them because back then I couldn't fathom spending more than 5 bucks for skin care. I was in my late 20's so what did I know??? This brand quickly disappeared and didn't resurface (at least to me) until like a month ago at my local Ulta Beauty. I thought holy shit I haven't seen those products in like forever! I went home and did some googling and found the official site that sells Alpha Hydrox products, I was surprised of all the other products they had in their line including body care too. I read a ton of reviews from actual users and thought what the hell, I may as well try it out. So I went back to Ulta and purchased the 10% Glycolic Oil Free Treatment and their Eye/Lip Treatment. I love the crap out of this stuff. After just a few weeks I have noticed a tremendous difference in my hyperpigmentation (caused from hormones during pregnancy) and unbelievably soft skin. Although the soft skin was immediate. I never even got these results from Retin A!
I later ordered some of the body care products which are f'in awesome too! I use the the body cleanser, silk wrap body lotion and also ordered the hand cream and foot cream as well. The silk wrap body lotion has a slight scent that some people regard as awful, however those people made comments that they purchased theirs at dollar discount stores and probably went bad. Mine smells a bit like what self tanner would smell like, however a much lighter version. These products help with Pilaris Keratosis, which are those annoying little bumps some people have on their arms or legs.
I am soooooo glad that I decided to try this line and probably won't bother switching to another anytime soon.
