Pros:

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

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

Pros:

Smoothes skin

Cons:

Little peeling here and there, minor

All I want to know is how long does it usually take before there is a noticeable change in acne scar fading. I'm now using the samples which I've been using now 2 weeks for every other night as directed. It does make your skin smooth but before I started using this the meds that I were on left me with smooth skin but with acne scars. I can't say I've seen a diff in scar lightening whereas some ppl have seen significant results within a week. I'm wondering if this stuff is working before I go ahead and order the full size bottle. Do you think I should stick it out? Is it likely that I will see improvements if I haven't seen any after 2 weeks of use?

Pros:

smoother skin, smaller pores, fading scares (or that is still taking awhile of course)

Cons:

ultra dryness if you overuse it

This product does work but you have to really adjust it to your skin type. If you are feeling really dry or getting little bumps then CUT BACK. It will still remain effective because it's all about deep exfoliation. I overused it, couldn't move my face from the tightness and then cut back to once a week. Now I see the results that it talks about and am very impressed. You MUST wear sunscreen with this or you will hyperpigmentate and it won't be the products fault but yours. If you are breaking out in little bumps it means that your skin is getting aggravated so you need to cut back. Try this but be patient with it and don't go all gung ho on it.

Pros:

Gets your hopes up...

Cons:

Drys your face LIKE CRAZY.
Doesnt work...

I have been using Mama lotion for over a month and see NO CHANGES in the way my face looks or feels... Well, my scars are a little darker than they were before... Waste of money and time.

Pros:

Does prevent further breakouts

Cons:

I have a strange condition of ultradryness in spots where I had applied too much MaMa possibly. No acne there, but the skin is dry, scaly and hyperpigmented. You can definitely overdo it, so don't go too crazy with it.

I use this product with caution, as things that are truly effective ALL have should be used carefully. Except for the dry patches on my back, I love this product. It has transformed my skin, and I don't need to use it much at all anymore.

Pros:

Overall, when drying got manageable (by day 5 or so, at 1x a week) skin looked smooth and fresh

Cons:

Caused me to have numerous huge cystic acne that I'm still trying to get rid of months later, little white bumps all over where I didn't have acne ever before (cheeks and forehead), incredibly dry flaking skin for days after treating

Inititally INCREDIBLY dry skin that flaked no matter how much or which moisturizer I used. Used 1x a week, by day 5 my skin wasn't flaky, but by day 2 after treating had huge eruptions on jaw (which I'd had before) and new cystic acne in places on my face I'd never had before. I thought it was purging and stuck with it for months, but the more often I used it the more I broke out, until my mild acne was worse than it's ever been in my life. I bought it as a promo from another web site, and was supposed to submit before and after pix and never sent after pix even to get my money reimbursed because I was so embarrassed about how bad my skin looked. I made the mistake of trying it with a few other new products, and since people RAVED about thsi stuff, I initialy blamed the new acne on the other products, and months later after stopping the others, realized this stuff was the cause.

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.

Pros:

Cleared up my acne, helped keep away blackheads

Cons:

didn't really notice pore size going down or fading red marks left over from previous acne

I've read about people saying red marks have faded, pore size is minimized and texture has evened out. I haven't really noticed any significant difference in my skin in any of those areas using Mama Lotion. What I DID notice, however, is that it has been very effective in keeping my skin mostly acne free and helping to keep away the blackheads on my nose. For me, that's more than enough. After trying loads and loads of products and having none of them be extremely effective at keeping my skin acne free, to have clear skin for this long (about 3-4 months) for the first time in years is amazing. I've also started using mineral makeup and Neutrogena clear skin tint, which I think also helps in not clogging the pores and working to keep skin renuewal up. My skin isn't sensetive, and I've never had too many problems with other kinds of acne clearing formulas (other than them not working very well). But people with sensetive skin might want to be cautious about increasing
