Pros Doesn't dry your face, makes skin soft, seems to make skin smoother, reduces black heads, clears acne and prevents it, fades dark marks slowly but noticeably.
Cons makes my nose and forehead shiny
Bottom line I have oily skin. I have been using the Walgreens alpha hydroxy face cream for about 3-4 days. I'd been struggling with this huge breakout on my forehead for 2 months, It started with five pimples and increased to like 8 in one day, then it spread to the side of my face. I started using the AH and my skin is clearing up. Just to be specific, I wash my face in the morning with St.Ives Apricot scrub for blackheads and blemishes and Then I use the AH as a Moisturizer, it works so good...no dry or burning feeling at all. At night I wash my face with St Ives Apricot scrub Alpha Hydroxy renew and firm wash, this is also amazing. Then I pop open some vitamin E pills and rub the oil on my face as a moisturizer before bed. I'm happy to say that now My face is pimple and bump free for the first time in a long time. Im just waiting for the blemishes to completely disappear.

Pros I love it for wrinkle control. It smooths the skin and appears to remove wrinkles.
Cons first day or two redness... after that, no problem
Bottom line I am 70 years old and since I have been using this product, people always tell me how young I look. Before most people thought I was quite a bit older than I am. I bought enough to last me for a long long time.... but, I only could get the cream. I loved the lotion even better. Please bring it back or tell me how I can get it. I've been using the lotion (and the cream) for 2 or 3 years now.

Pros amazing results - affordable
Cons a little smelly - open container
Bottom line i get hyperpigmentation from acne and bought this in a feeble attempt to fix the issue. product is amazing! cleared up my face in 3 days! works wonders on big underskin pimples that refuse to clear up (takes half the time for them to disappear)...does cause some redness and stinging on application but its only temporary --- worth it to me! - minimizes pores and cleared out blackheads...i was nervous to use because its a "cream" and my skin usually breaks out from thick creams but it is not greasy and dries quick

Pros Easy to use. Light consistency. Works quickly - you will see immediate results. Works well on Black skin types that are prone to discoloration, hyper pigmentation, & scarring. Also excellent on skin discoloration due to cancer radiation treatments
Cons Hard to fine - only sold at one Walgreen location in Kansas City Missouri.
Bottom line I can not say enough good things about this product. I use it daily as a moisturizer for my face, elbows, knees, feet, legs etc. I hope and pray that this cream has not been discontinued.

Pros I have solar keratosis and have been battling this for several years. This has cured most of it in two weeks. My 50 year old skin looks 15 years younger. The price! Wow!
Cons I do worry about the sanitary aspect because it will last forever. I've barely made a dent.
Bottom line Fantastic

Pros It works! I use it daily at night time. I do my nightly washing and scrub and then put it on! It reduces my bigger zits one to two days, smaller ones in about a day. A little goes a long way. I have had the same bottle for the last couple of months.
Cons It stings a little on opened zits but it helps reduce them quicker. [pain is gain. (ha!)Also, I had to go to two stores until I found it, its not discountined its on the website even.....Packaging isn't the best either.
Bottom line Get it. It works!

Pros Works well as a night time moisturizer. Not too heavy for my 30+ acne prone skin. Noticed a great improvement of my skin.
Cons Would not used for daytime usage since it has AHA.
Has been discontinued at Walgreens but if you find it in your local store, purchase it since no more stock is available.
Bottom line The NeoStrata Company manufactured this item for Walgreens. This product is the same as NeoStrata's AHA Skin Smoothing Cream-8 which retail for $19.80 unfortunately that product has been discontinued as well. According to NeoStrata's website, NeoStrata Face Cream Plus - AHA 15 ($29) is a very similar product and can be used in place of AHA Skin Smoothing Cream-8. [link removed]

Pros Makes skin smoother, helps clear up pimples and red spots. Helps prevent ingrown eyebrow hairs!
Cons A little stinky. Jar packaging is not a sanitary way to keep face cream.
Bottom line I can see results from this stuff within about 4 days of consistent use. I use it nightly after washing with Purpose, but I'll admit I need to be more disciplined. Use sunscreen with it. Amazing product. Sad to hear that it's so hard to find.
