MaMa : Lotion

This review is for the 20% Skin Refinish M2 bottle only. Pros: I was running out of dan's bp and decided to try using M2. There was no initial breakout like Dan's BP. This could be because of the BP already purging everything away, but it was still a very seamless transition. Using it everyday made my skin irritated (but no breakouts) so I switched to every other day. In the next few weeks, it made existing pimples less severe/painful. A weird, random rash under my jaw from using Dan's BP also disappeared. In the long run, I noticed my usual whitehead/cysts were less common (I still always get one or two during my monthly cycle). It also made those pimples under my skin less painful and disappear within a few weeks. Cons: It is very sticky so I use this at night and change my pillowcases every two days. The directions say to follow with moisturizer, but it just doesn't seem very productive, like you are rubbing off the M2. I would like to know how others moisturize and use this product. My face is a bit drier due to this, but not enough to cause outbreaks. I bought this initially to fade acne scars. I don't see any real results. I have been switching AHA every other day with it as well. No real results, so this might be just be me. Bottom line: As soon as I run out of this bottle (same bottle for 6+ months) I will buy the whole set. It seems to work for me better than BP.

I think the main reason why some people are getting different results with this is that they are using it either incorrectly, or not taloring their use of it to suite their skin type. For me I cannot use it more than every other day right now and that is plenty. Also you should only be applying a pea sized amount to your whole face-you can't layer it over just one part of your face otherwise you may cause peeling. I only apply a tiny amount each time I use this and my results have been fantastic! I think that within 3 weeks from now I will be comfortable not wearing makeup in public (so excited!). This stuff has improved the texture and tone of my skin drastically. My skin is glowing right now! I look fantastic! At this moment I have NO active pimples on my face and I am PMSing! This is the first time in the past year that I have felt confident and good about myself. Make sure to only add a tiny bit, use it as a lotion not a spot treatment, and don't use it more that 3 times per week.

I developed acne at 22, finally, 2 years later I have found something that takes care of acne, sun damage and even fine lines around my eyes and mouth. I was starting to get small scars and those have all but dissappeared. My derm put me on Ziana gel about 3 months ago for and it never really did much to control my break-outs. I still use the Ziana gel at night and use the MaMa lotion every morning before I apply my make-up. The first week was like night and day in the difference in my skin. I love this stuff!!

If you want to try it Most people seem to have good results and I think it is normal for a few to not like it but the vast majority seem to have good results. I have a sister where sulfer based crap is the only stuff that works for her but I love Love LOVE this stuff

I recommend this product highly to everyone. I have never endorsed any products before, but I am moved to tears when I see my skin, after all these years, I can finally go out side without a ton of makeup!!!!

The product works! I had some hyperpigmentation after a spot CO2 treatment and it was taking forever to go away (I've got asian skin to makes matters worse since asian skin is so prone to hyperpigmentation). I was currently using Obagi and it still was taking a long time to fade. So I decided to try MaMa Lotion. And in just a couple of days, the hyperpigmentation started noticably fading. It's been 2 weeks and I can go out without any makeup because the pigmentation is so faint now. I couldn't be happier. I just recently started applying MaMa Lotion to the rest of my face and I'm seeing an improvement in the texture and quality of my skin. Try it!

This product is truly amazing!Didn't think I would believe the hype until I tried it myself. I wanted to get rid of some acne scarring on my face.I tried many products and they just didn't work but MaMa lotion worked quickly and really has made a difference.The identations have disappeared and I now have a smooth face.

The first night, I put it on half my face. The morning after,I woke up and thought that I had a dream during the night that half my face had turned baby smooth. Not so! I felt both sides of my face and the one that I used the MaMa Lotion on was amazingly silky feeling. I then realized it wasn't a dream - it was real. It just seemed too good to be true, because I had battled oily skin, acne, rough patches, and alternating dryness from acne products for over 30 years. I have now been using it every other night for 2 weeks and I am extremely pleased with the results. This lotion has done more for my face than a $900 chemical peel that I had performed by a doctor.

I have been using this product for about 2 months and LOVE it! I don't have acne, bought it because of aging. My face looks so very clear and even colored. Small lines seem to be evened out. I use it at night. If it is too sticky, you are probably using too much. I am now alternating nights with a Retinol cream.

I think that my complexion is more glowy and smooth - almost 40 years old.
