Pros:

Smoothes out my skin!
Helps get rid of acne scars!

Cons:

Stings a little bit (but not enough to stop using it)and the stinging is understandable, it IS and acid.

This has done WONDERS for my skin!!! I tested it out the first week or so to see how my skin reacted to it and to see how frequently I could use it. I am able to use it every day, and I moisturize about 30 minutes after applying the MaMa lotion (to avoid a residue/buildup when the unabsorbed MaMa lotion and moisturizer combine). The MaMa lotion brings a lot of "gunk" to the surface of the face, so make sure to be patient and not pick at anything. Believe me, you will be SO HAPPY with the results! A few days later, all of the gunk had sloughed off and I saw bright, new, acne-free skin!! MaMa lotion is fantastic!!! I am extremely pleased with this product, and am so glad that I discovered it :)

Pros:

Improved the texture and clarity of my wretched skin. No more cystic acne.

Cons:

I did experience an "initial breakout"... but I was breaking out anyway.

My skin looked awful. I had about cysts, papules and pustules all over, and I'm 35. I tried this stuff and, eventually, it worked beautifully. It did pull everything that was lying in wait under my skin out onto the surface... which sucked, but after about 5 months, my skin is smooth and clear. The leftover scar are fading at a fair clip, as well. YAY!

Pros:

seemed like it started working immediately. made skin smooth, soft and decreased inflammation of current acne.

Cons:

none

i actually got this as a sample for free because i actually ordered green cream, which is a retinol, and the mama lotion came with it. i decided to alternate the two between nights and it seems to be working a lot. the mama lotion really calms things down and i can already see improvement. i don't have a lot of cystic acne, just mostly clogged pores and some scarring, but this seems to be working better than anything i've tried over the years. i'm quite a skeptic about acne products and this is definitely worth a try, especially if you're looking for something to fix the skin from past acne problems. i will buy a bigger bottle of it when the sample is done, which i hear is a bit costly but worth it.

Pros:

Fades away acne scars, smells good too.

Cons:

A lil pricey, but its worth it. The stingy after the application, but its worth it also. Dry skin...all you need is to put on some moisturizer after.

I love it. I have black scarring from acne. First product that actually worked on my acne scars. Try it!

Pros:

None

Cons:

Caused me to break out, worse left scars on my face!

I am of East Indian descent and have medium tan skin. I never had acne problems before starting on Mama Lotion - I am in my thirties and wanted it more for its supposed anti-aging properties. I bought the samples. The first couple of times, it worked great. Then ... aargh - acne! And not just pimples, but scars that remain on my skin to this day. I am so upset. I had great clear skin and thoughtlessly spoiled it. Stay away from this product!

Pros:

mama lotion Worked great got rid of stubborn acne on my forehead after 3 weeks use.Also have melasma on cheeks and it hs faded it by about 70 per cent.I thought this lotion had stopped working as the stinging stopped.But i discovered the key-apply w

Cons:

quite drying so i used shea butter to moisture-success

If it appears to stop working and stinging the skin -Then apply warm water to affected clean skin area to open the skin pores- gently dry skin and apply mama lotion-it starts to sting skin and works again. might not work for every one - but definitely worked for me.

Pros:

Fades red marks quickly, sometimes kills the pimple

Cons:

MADE MY CYSTIC ACNE COME BACK, DRY SKIN

i bought a sample of mama lotion thinking that it would work for me since i heard good reviews. Unfortunately, mama lotion made my break out cystic acne that i havent had since i finished accutane. It is good for scars but not for active acne.

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:

Many positive reviews

Cons:

A little pricey

I am not a user yet, but I placed my online order for MAMA 3 days ago and await its arrival. I've browsed several review boards for this product, and noticed mostly glowing reviews for MAMA, but most of the positive reviews were left after one week of usage, or mabey two weeks.I have seen the negative reviews as well-the intense peeling, the smell, the stickiness, and worst of all, the fact that MAMA has the potential to make one's hyperpigmentation even worse (i.e. DARKER).I wanted to get some detailed reviews from long-standing users of MAMA. Did anyone experience any of the following: After initial usage, experienced darker hyperpigmentation and/or increased amounts of pimples? After prolonged use, did hyperpigmentation get better? I've also read some comments warning against spot treatments, and others applauding it. Other suggest using it over the entire face, like a lotion? Also, any reviewers who posted initially have any follow-ups???
