Pros:

I am 45 and have used this line for 7 years. I do not have wrinkles and have a perfectly smooth neck. Love the 12% soufle (sp). Don't know what I would do without it. I use it after every shower, on moist, warm skin. I don't wear makeup.

Cons:

Hard to find. Walmart stopped carrying it. I get it at Walgreens.

I don't know what I would do without it. I am asked constantly by new people, how old I am and stun them everytime. I don't use soap on my face. Just the Alpha Hydrox products after I shower.

Pros:

I've been using this for about 4 days. May have slightly helped a couple of dying zits on my face. No fragrance. Light lotion that absorbs fairly easily and quickly.

Cons:

Stings slightly. Turns my skin red. I put this on a couple of newly forming zits and it seems to have made them bigger and redder. I'm hoping that it's just accelerating their progress... fingers crossed.

It's a nice light lotion that absorbs well, but also causes stinging and redness. I guess it's a little too early for me to tell exactly how well this works, but so far I've been a little disappointed, given the rave reviews many other people here.

Pros:

It has glycolics...

Cons:

This stuff has oil in it. :( it made my skin wrinkly - similar to the reactions I had from retin-a micro. My derm said that was the wrinkling effect is the "effoliation" process. But whatever I don't like it. Itd be ok if the wrinkling lasted a day o

Gave me blackheads. This is almost required/recommended by many skin books and derms. But.. Why'd it make me so wrinkled?!!

Pros:

I haven't seen a difference

Cons:

leaves your skin feeling oily, but I have oily skin so I guess it always feels oily. stings in the beginning but goes away

I've been using the souflee 12% for about a few weeks now and i haven't noticed really any difference. i have combo skin with lots of little scars and dark spots from when my acne was really bad, and lots of the usual blackheads on the nose cheeks and forehead. I break out a lot around my chin, and the souflee didn't really seem to do anything. it didn't do anything bad either, but i've also been changing my birth control recently so i'm wondering if that affected my testing of the souflee. i'm going to keep with it though so hopefully it'll have results!

Pros:

Moisturizing

Cons:

Made breakouts, made face more oiler

It is a good moisturizer and only recommended for dry skin. If u have oily acne prone skin, dont use it because it will make u get more blackheads and breakout more. DOESNT EXFOLIATE AT ALL, i dont know wat the glycolic does in this lotion
