Customer Reviews of Alpha Hydrox AHA Enhanced Lotion - 6 fl oz
Customer Review: FINALLY a product to help with my adult acne!
Summary: 5 Stars
I waited a LONG time before writing this review because I wanted to be REALLY sure that this product was working for me. At first, I was using it along with another product in the Alpha Hydrox line, Alpha Hydrox AHA Souffle 12% Glycolic AHA 1.6 oz (45 g), and experiencing problems--it turns out that I was sold a container of the Souffle that was actually several years old. Whatever the cause, I stopped using the Souffle and have been using only the Enhanced Lotion alone for a few months now, and my skin is looking better than it has in years!!!
First, a little background information about me. I am currently in my early 40s. As a teen, I had very oily skin but only mild acne problems. In my late 20s/early 30s, however, I began to experience increasing issues with adult acne. Although the problem wasn't severe, it was quite persistent and recurrent. I actually went to two different dermatologists and tried various tropical and oral medications with little success. (The only thing that really worked was Accutane, but that became WAY too cumbersome to continue to use given all of the requirements surrounding prescribing it.)
After that, I experimented with using various over-the-counter products, always with mixed results. More recently, I began doing some reading on alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs). I did a lot of research of various products both here on Amazon and on the web site Makeup Alley, and after my failed experiment with the Alpha Hydrox Souffle mentioned above, I decided to try this product, the 10% Enhanced Lotion. I am amazed by the results! Within only a week or two of discontinuing the Souffle (which made my skin break out even worse) and using the Enhanced Lotion alone, my skin was MUCH clearer.
Now, after using this product daily for about two months, my skin looks great: NO blemishes! I do occasionally get a small pimple or two (usually around the same time in my menstrual cycle), but when that happens, they fade very quickly, leaving no scarring behind. Also, I am starting to notice that the old acne scars I had from before I started using the Enhanced Lotion are FINALLY starting to fade as well--that is taking longer, but it IS happening.
I use this product twice a day. You only need a very small amount, as it is thin and spreads easily over the entire face. At night, I will apply the product slightly more generously. (It definitely does sting a bit; this occurs with all AHAs. You can minimize this effect by applying less or trying a moisturizer on top.) In the morning, I will use only a tiny amount of the product (or sometimes skip it altogether), and on top, I will use Olay Complete Lotion for Combination Skin with SPF 15 - 6 oz., which contains a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA; salicylic acid) and also SPF, which is important when using AHAs because of increased sun sensitivity. This combination seems to be working well for me. I haven't really needed much extra night-time moisturization given both that it is summer and that my skin tends to be more on the oily side anyway, but when I do, I have been using St. Ives Fresh Skin Collagen Elastin Facial Moisturizer 10 oz (283 g).
I am thrilled to have found a skin care regime that is not only working for me but also consists of very affordable products. Definitely, this Enhanced Lotion by Alpha Hydrox is the cornerstone of my routine, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it highly!
