Alpha Hydrox Enhanced Cream - 10% Glycolic AHA Review
I started using this creme about 6 weeks ago when I realized my 51-year old face needed more maintenance than it was getting. I’m a Florida native with blonde hair and fair skin, so after a lifetime of sun my face had issues with some sunspots and a blotchy complexion. I don’t have problems with breakouts and only have a few faint “laugh line” wrinkles that I’m not worried about yet so this review won’t address those issues.
Since I can’t afford constant facials I did some research and developed my own skin-care regimen. Exfoliating dead skin cells is important so I decided an AHA product would be useful and ordered this creme and began using it most nights after washing my face. I leave it on anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour and then use an eye cream and moisturizing lotion. I had some very mild tingling the first time I used it but nothing after that - if you have sensitive skin you might want to try the 8% version first and work your way up to the 10%.
After doing this for about 6 weeks I can see a definite difference in my skin that can’t be attributed to just the moisturizing. The sunspots are still there (and always will be) but they are much, much lighter and less noticeable. The blotchiness has evened out considerably and I feel like I could run up to the store without makeup and not worry about frightening small children. [...smile...] As I said, I don’t have much in the way of wrinkles so I really haven’t noticed whether this has done anything to clear them up or not. I doubt any skin product will do anything for serious wrinkles anyway, and if that’s your worry you’ll need to look into some kind of doctor or aesthetician’s services.
I highly recommend this product for anybody who wants to get serious about taking care of their skin.
