Skin Perfecting 8% AHA Lotion Exfoliant

I have dry skin and over the past year have suffered with awful breakouts all over my chin (mostly under the skin whiteheads & large blemishes). I was using the BHA exfoliant which was calming the blemishes alongside an antibiotic but I was still having the under the skin ‘bumps’, acne marks and dry skin. This product is almost identical to a very famous product on the market which is £80 for 30ml. After a week all of my large blemishes have disappeared, texture is gone, no dry skin & my acne marks that have been there for months is fading. It’s the best thing ever. I am using it in combination with the BHA/AHA peel (I only use that once a week) & the intensive repair moisturiser (which I love too).

I cannot express how incredibly well this product works. I’ve had dry flaky skin on my forehead for years and it’s so hard to get rid of. Nothing I tried worked for long but this AHA lotion is amazing stuff! Finally my skin is glowing and smooth and bright and look amazing with and without make up. It’s gentle enough to not cause itching/tingling but strong enough to zap flaky skin away. Highly recommend!!

Have given this product a good try, so wanted it to work but have finally worked out that this product causes an itchy rash on my face. Now have one unopened bottle as well as remaining contents, an expensive lesson.

I've must read the 1 review ,this is after I have bought and used the product, the wrong way round I know. I love it, my skin feels softer and my moisturiser seems to be absorbed more effectively afterwards.
It really demonstrates how different our reactions can be. When I tried the BHA I got itchy,tight feeling skin and had tiny bumps all over my face and neck. It took a few weeks for it to calm down.

I got this as an entry-level, lower-strength AHA to start with, which I alternate with a BHA to get the best of both types of exfoliant action, as I have some normal to dry areas, particularly on the cheeks. My skin is in much better condition overall since I started using this, with an end to the areas of dry flakiness. But the big caveat is that when I put this on, it really stings like the dickens - it feels like salt rubbed into a cut - and this has not changed with extended use. It also reddens my skin temporarily - but this does calm down after about 30 minutes. I find a BHA a much gentler type of exfoliant.
