10% AHA is in my experience an amazing spot treatment. Many agree. It is also fantastic for body acne, and along with the regular regimen, can wipe out body acne in a lot of people. See this link for more on that. Since Alpha Hydrox brand AHA can be hard to find and since I think I can make a specific version for acne prone individuals, I asked one of our formulators to mix up a batch of 10% alpha hydroxy, while avoiding any comedogenic ingredients, and mixing in some of the potent anti-inflammatories that are out these days. I got the sample this morning. I didn’t like it. It was too thick feeling and rubbed in too fast actually. I got back to them with my comments and they are redoing it for us. But anyway, just so you guys know, I am working on this as well.
there is absolutely nothing stopping you.. keep going dan your work is freaking amazing
Yeah I’ll gladly buy some new products when they’re released! Looking forward to it, good luck!
I have been using the Alpha Hydrox moisturizer (cream) every morning for a year with Dan’s cream at night and it has made a WORLD of difference in my skin. AHA is great along with BP. The perfect combo.
I use Alpha Hydrox 10%. There are two economical ways to buy it:
1. Order from CVS when you have coupons (such as $3.00 off a $15.00 purchase). It only takes 1 to 2 days to get the product. This way you buy stuff that you need at CVS anyway, and at the same time you get $3.00 off the Alpha Hydrox.
2. Sign up for Alpha Hydrox emails. They will alert you when they are having a sale. Also, they often have free shipping specials.
PS: While you are formulating, I suggest that you look at cosmeticscop.com and also look at her books. She mentions a number of 10% products that cause irritation. (She likes the Alpha Hydox)
Great blog:) I’ve just seen it today (I am from Croatia:). AHA’ s made an incredible difference on my skin this winter and spring but I am affraid to use them in summer because of the sun. Yesterday I bought BP for the first time and hoping for the best! I think they can probably do less harm during the summer. Am I right? Should I stop with AHA’s?
