This lotion has done wonders for my skin...

San Antonio Gal — Sat, 30 Jul 2022 16:54:13 GMT

This lotion has been a game changer for me. I learned about Alpha Skin Care lotion from @SilleeMee . My only regret is that I didn't start using it earlier.

The 12% AHA (Glycolic Alpha Hydroxy Acid) makes all the difference in this product compared to others. I use it head to toe and my feet are completely smooth now. @SilleeMee suggested using it on your face and I have done that as well.

This product is completely fragrancee free and very moisturizing. The AHA gets rid of the dry skin cells and and doesn't leave your skin feeling greasy. Unlike Josie's body butter or other lotions, you're not putting product on top of dry skin. The AHA dissolves the dry skin cells on top and moisturizes the skin underneath.

It can be purchased on Amazon, Ulta or Ebay (17.00).

@San Antonio Gal I agree! This is a great product and it is actually inexpensive.

@San Antonio Gal

Thank you for sharing your results. I have this on my wish list at Amazon to pick up after I finish the 10% product from same company. I have found @SilleeMee to offer up great product recs.

Can't wait to try the 12%.

Agree 100%. I've got some lotions that I'm using up, and some that I still like but this one is on my Amazon subscription. It goes on my arms every morning. I also use it as an AM facial moisturizer several days a week.

@Goldengate8361 @San Antonio Gal I've been using 12% AHA on my face since the mid 90s when I first heard about it on QVC. I once heard Dr. Oz, to whom I generally give 0 credence, say everyone ought to use it. I must say, I have very little wrinkling, much less than others my age.

@San Antonio Gal @SilleeMee I couldn't agree more. I picked up this product when it was being discussed here by @SilleeMee and have noted significant difference in my skin. I'm on my second order. I had been meaning to post about it. You just beat me to it.

I'm using the 10% lotion on my face. Prior to starting it, my face felt like fine grain sandpaper and I could not effectively exfoliate my skin, in spite of multiple other products -- masks, scrubs, PTR, followed by great moisturizers, etc.

With the Alpha lotion, alone, my face now feels soft and supple with noted decrease in fine lines, pores and brighter skin tone. Interestingly, it does all of this without any skin irritation, which is amazing, but it is only the 10% version.

I'm going to put in an order for the 14%. I think it's time I can move up in the strength and take it to other areas of challenged skin. I'm sure it will have the same positive results. It's a great product, at a great price.

Thank you @San Antonio Gal . I just went on Amazon and ordered it. I needed to get some AHA serum. I'm almost out of Dr. Denese and really am not 100% satisfied with it. I'm excited to try this.

I agree! Been using it for a long time.

I agree, I have been meaning to thank @silliemee. I have extremely dry skin with crocodile skin, and I cannot remember when my skin showed no signs of crocodile skin. It is still there but very faint after two months of nightly use. I also cannot believe how much my sun spots have faded. Many are completely gone.

I love this brand. I use the 14% serum for my face. They used to have their own website with lots of sales. Now their website says to purchase through Amazon.

My only complaint is that they have discontinued some of their products. I use the eye cream and it is no longer available.

Glad I could help, @phoenixbrd. I'm no expert, that's for sure, but we all keep experimenting, sharing, and learning from each other here. 😊🌻

Glad it is working so nicely for you, @San Antonio Gal !

I love this, too, for at least 2 decades, but I just use it as a hand lotion primarily, and sometimes for feet & elbows.

The workhorse in my skincare routine for face is the 12% lotion, also using that over 2 decades. (Also the retinol.)

Sorry, I have to make a correction - it is more like 14 years!

@San Antonio Gal Thanks for the product evaluation and I will take all of the hekp I can get. At this point my feet are rugged and dy around the heels from walking in this muggy humid weather. I am glad you are getting great results and I appreciate the heads up!

I have had this lotion in my closet for quite some time now. I think I need to break it out and start using it. I wanted to use a few things up but at the rate I am going it will take forever. I don’t use lotion as much anymore but my hands sure can use some help and my feet for that matter.

Thanks for the reminder.

I'm amazed to hear all these "newbies" to this brand. It's been around for years and years. Originally, it was Alpha Hydrox. It's always worked, but due to it's low price and is a drugstore brand I think a lot of people never bothered to try it. So glad so many of you have discovered it.
