I’ve been plagued by acne most of my adult life starting at age 19 lasting into my late 20’s. At 30, I’ve finally stopped the cystic breakouts but I’m left with scaring, which is now another battle I find myself dealing with. I’m in California where, for the most part, everything has been shutdown due to COVID-19, including my regular dermatologist/esthetician. It was also getting rather expensive at almost $300 a visit every 5-6 weeks to rotate between different treatments. While I’m working from home and we’re all wearing masks, I decided to invest in some of the devices my esthetician uses to clear any existing acne and help my acne scaring. I’ve started microneedling with a skin pen and I’ve started incorporating glycolic acid peels rotating with the microneedling sessions and AHA serums a few times a week. I’ve tried almost anything labeled as glycolic acid from expensive brands you find at Sephora to cheaper (more economical) brands here on Amazon and online. I found this brand bc I use their HA serum for microneedling and I love it so I figured I’d give this a go as well. It’s been about 3 weeks now and I’ve only used it maybe 5-6 times (every few days) and WOW! Not only has this improved the smoothness and bounce of my skin, it’s faded some red pigmentation I’ve had which always takes suchhh a long time to fade on my skin tone. I do notice slight results the morning after I use it, but the real results happen 2-3 days after using it. That’s when I really notice the decrease in pigmentation and the smoothness on my cheeks I’ve never really had before. I’ve done microneedling for the last 3 years off and on, I’ve probably had about 7 treatments in total with a big break in between the first 5 and last 2 where I’m now trying to correct new acne scaring so I know how my skin responds to microneedling. It helps the texture enormously, but I never had that baby smooth feeling I have after using this. My foundation glides on and makeup application looks so good! This product is incredible and I’m very happy. I’ve just started using their retinol on the off days with this serum so I’ll have to report back on how both work. I’ve also been thinking about ordering the niacinamide as well. For the fair price of these products, I don’t have buyers remorse if something doesn’t work out. If you’re on the fence about it, get it and start slowly. AHAs can do wonders for your skin! I’m so impressed!
