Alpha Hydroxy Skin Care changes noted

Has anyone noticed that Alpha skin lotion no longer says 12% Alpha Hydroxy acid on the label? The last 2 bottles I ordered were different. The label mentioned the addition of Alpha Hydroxy acid but no percentage noted. Wonder if they have decreased the amount in the lotion

@Mizglitz    Perhaps you're ordering the wrong product.  Here's one I got a couple of weeks ago and it clearly says 12%, however, it's a tube not a bottle.  Its called Enhanced Renewal Cream.

My last bottle of Alpha Skincare Body Lotion was delivered in October and has the 12% listed on the label.  Wherever you purchased it from, you might be able to find the percentage noted in the listing text.

It's the same bottle I've ordered from Amazon for over a year. Side by side the labels are different- one says 12% and the has nothing. My bottles I got in October all say 12% too. I'm talking about the bottle I got yesterday. I'll look for the cream. Thanks.

@Mizglitz What about the text in the back of your new bottle, is there any notation there?  It may just be a redesigned package.

I've emailed the company. Will let you know what they say.

I got my last body lotion in late November. Looks the same as usual showing the "12%" on the front.

 

ETA-

Amazon's description of the body lotion says it has 12% glycolic. If in fact it doesn't contain that amount then that could spell trouble for both Amazon and the Alpha company. False advertising.

My bottle doesn't have the 12% red flag on the front but has glycolic acid as 3rd in the ingredients. I have no idea how much is in my bottle and honestly I wouldn't repurchase - I see nothing special from this lotion

I just ordered some AmLactin with 15% Lactic Acid.  My derm has alway recommended that brand.
