Pros:

soft & smooth skin, more even-toned skin

Cons:

stings a little-but worth it

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.

Pros:

Smells great! I'm not sure why people are saying it stinks, it smells like a lotion or soft perfume. I have only been using it for almost a month now (Keep in mind the first two weeks you can only use every other day) and so far no complaints.

Cons:

The price for the full bottle, but it seems to be working so it's worth it.

Bottom line is it smells good and barely sticky. (People keep saying it stinks and is sticky, disagreed!). It will sting only if you put it on acne that is opened so I recommend not using it immidiately after a shower as it will probably stink. If youre considering this, try the sample bottles, thats what I purchased.

Pros:

I couldnt believe my eyes after 2 days of application my acne disappeared. I have had ugly breakouts with ugly black scarring, I have tried everything you can think of and watsed hundreds of rands, but the answer came with MAMA.

Cons:

The sting after application

Seems to be retarding breakouts, only two days and I cannot believe my eyes, even my colleagues are commenting..........

Pros:

Evens out your skintone, fades red/brown marks, prevents new acne, removes blackheads, and prevents congested pores.

Cons:

Kinda pricey, but a little goes a LONG way with this! I bought 3 sample tubes (for $6) and got a free one with my order-its been a month and I am not even through one tube yet!

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.

Cons:

I honestly don't have any to list. I'm too thankful!

I had flare up of cystic acne. I saw dermatologist immediately and was given a powerful antibiotic, and I began using MaMa Lotion on raw active acne. The results were outstanding. I have no new scars, my skin went from unslightly to nice in one week. I'll be on oral meds a good while but MaMa Lotion is amazing.My skin is NOT sensitive. I am aware that my doctor promptly perscribing antibiotic and Nu Celle cleanser and toner in cunjunction with MaMa Lotion, also made an immediate difference. None of those options were possible when I was a young girl even the antibiotic of that day failed to target the bacteria - it was their side effect of drying that helped somewhat. Thank Goodness for the modern age!!

Pros:

Face looks very clear and even color.

Cons:

Just the flaking, but well worth it.

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.

Pros:

Fantastic product - I have no peeling at all , but am used to using glycoloic acid and have done an Obaji peel

Pros:

In my experience this product works very well for acne, aging skin, pigmentation, scars, dry rough feet and elbows etc.

Cons:

People with acne my break out for a few months at first as the pores, blackheads and pimples come to the surface. If the skin is dry or sensitive or dark use only twice a week at first for a few weeks. Use Lubriderm lotion before MAMA Lotion.

This is a great product. The greatest mistake is to go too fast, especially if people have not used a strong AHA or Retinoid before. To avoid irritation apply Lubriderm Lotion before applying MAMA Lotion until the skin gets used to the product. Be patient, it really works if you go SLOW and give it some time.

I have been using MaMa Lotion for over a year. My acne started cleazring afer a few weeks and I haven had any major outbreaks since starting. I have also noted benefit in my pore size and a general brightness to my skin! I had been having it shipped to Canada from the US for the past year but now see that it is available in Canada from [link edited out] This has really saved on shipping.
