Alpha Skin Care Revitalizing Body Lotion with 12% Glycolic AHA, 12 Ounce

I have been having serious skin problems for about 2 years now. I have acne, scarring, and my skin has rough spots. I have tried so many different remedies to try and correct the problem, but nothing seems to help and it just gets worse. I was getting really depressed about my skin. So I decided to give this lotion a try since it had some good reviews, and frankly I felt like I had nothing else to lose at this point. I kid you not, after one use I already felt that my skin was smoother. After a few more uses there was definitely a difference in texture and it had cleared up some of my acne. I have been using it for 6 days now, and I'm in love!! My skin is doing a lot better and I think my scars are lightening up. I am going to continue using it and hopefully update this review with even more good news about my results.There were a few reviews that I read about this lotion being really strong and burning their skin. Personally I feel like it has a bit of a medicated feel to it, where you can sort of feel it working. The first time I applied it to my legs, it was after shaving. It felt tingly sort of like when you go into the ocean to soon after shaving and the salt water tingles your skin. It wasnt painful though. And I actually didn't get razor bumps or anything like I usually do after using this. I think this lotion just might be my saving grace!

I use this brand (Alpha Hydrox) facial lotion regularly for body acne and thought I'd try this because it works out slightly less expensive and is specifically formulated for body use. While I believe it is equally effective as the face lotion, I don't like the feeling it leaves on my skin. While the face lotion dries quickly and has a soft smooth feel on the skin, the body lotion doesn't dry easily and sticks to my clothes. I prefer using the facial lotion on my body, despite the slightly higher cost.

Love the lotion, hate the bottle.Impossible to get lotion out, needs pump, will not buy again until it comes with a pump!

This lotion is fantastic for reducing Keratosis Pilaris on my upper legs and arms. The lotion is thick, creamy, and absorbs quickly with no noticeable scent. The only complaint I have is that because of the thick formula, it is difficult to squeeze out of the bottle. This product would be much better with a pump.

I don't normally write reviews, but I think that it's important to write reviews on acne medicine products because I have wasted so much time and money trying to clear my skin on my body and everything came up short. I kept googling different products and I read somewhere to use 10% benzoyl peroxide body wash and 10% AHA to clear it, so I went on Amazon and I bought the 10% benzoyl peroxide body wash and saw that this lotion was 12%, so I bought this one.I decided to buy it in lotion form because I know that benzoyl peroxide dries out the skin at first. A family member of mine was an esthetician, and she used to do facial treatments on my back and I have tried so many things for so many years. Tanning would usually help, but I don't have time to tan and I don't want to do it so often and ruin my skin. I'm not sure which product helped the most, but I liked using them together because I feel like my possible dry skin was offset by this lotion. My acne was pretty bad, mostly on my upper back, chest, and some lower, but it is not severe.I'd say it's been about 2 or 3 weeks, and my skin has improved drastically. There are still some break outs here and there occasionally, and I'm just hoping that it is not because it's a new product and that my skin will get used to it and start to acne up again. I would wash only my back and chest with the body wash with an exfoliating loofah and then apply the lotion after the shower once a day. I'd say it took about a week to see results, but it's important not to pick your skin and irritate the acne further, otherwise the treatment might not work as well and you might have scarring!

I bought the lotion because I have the so called "chicken skin" on my legs and arms, and this product is supposed to be really good for it. Now I have used it every morning and night after shower for a few days, it leaves the skin feeling very soft and moist, a little sticky, but not unbearable, maybe it's summer. But my main concern is that the lotion I got is so thick, the only way I can get it out is to stick my picky in to scoop some out. I have tried to shake it, pump the bottle upside down, nothing worked! Now I just started using it, my picky can still reach the lotion, I wonder when my picky can no long reach it, do I need to prepare a special tool, such as a stick to get it out??? Or maybe the bottle I have just doesn't have the right texture?
