Customer Reviews of Alpha Hydrox Spot Light Targeted Skin Lightener .85 oz
Customer Review: Great for the neck! Horrible for the face...
Summary: 3 Stars
I originally bought this product as I was looking for a skin lightener to help fade marks from a recent staph infection. My infection was originally folliculitis, which causes tiny acne-like pimples to form in the infected area. Believing these to be acne, I treated them with acne wash which irritated and spread them, eventually causing staph which resulted in infected and inflamed boils and cysts all along the front of my neck. Once the infection cleared up with antibiotics, I was left with horrible red and brown marks from the boils and cysts. I've been using this product daily for over a week and the marks have faded tremendously. They're still there, and I'm sure it will take time for it to heal completely, but so far the results are great. Tiny brown marks, the size of moles or freckles, seemed to get darker, scab over, then fall off, leaving a fresh pinkish area that slowly fades into the rest of the skin. Larger red marks, the size of about a pea, just gradually fade to a lighter pink. However, I decided to also use this on my face for some old red marks left from old acne. Horrible idea! I've used hydroquinone and glycolic acid before with no problem, so I believe it may just be the oiliness of the product, but it has caused the worst outbreak I've had in years! My face is covered in tiny, red, inflamed pimples (acne pimples, not folliculitis pimples). It also burned my face, left it very red, but did help to lighten old marks. However, I'll probably have new marks to deal with now thanks to this! By the way, if you have sensitive skin, as I do, don't use twice a day, only use once at night before bed and only use a small amount. Too much causes redness and peeling. And if you have acne prone skin, DO NOT use this product. It will make you break out horribly, even if you don't currently have acne. To sum it up, I gave this product 3 stars although I really rate it 2 1/2. Does wonderfully for marks on the body, but causes hell on the face. This product is good, but seems to be a bit strong for those with sensitive skin. If you decide to use, test it first before diving head-first. Judging by my own experience and the other reviews, this seems to be a hit or miss product, either hitting bullseye and doing perfect or missing off the chart and either doing absolutely nothing or making matters even worse.
