What Are The Best AHA Lotions/Creams? - Skin Lightening

Eternal · 01-24-2010, 10:08 PM

The best that are both effective and cost-friendly? And where can I purchase them online is fine, but mostly searching for local store brands if possible?

heidihill · 01-24-2010, 10:16 PM

bargainskincare is where i get mine.

heidihill · 01-24-2010, 10:18 PM

I guess I should qualify that. It's where I currently get all my stuff and I love it, but I'm such a newbie. lol

Eternal · 01-24-2010, 10:20 PM

Heidhill what is the name of your AHA product? And what other products do you use for lightening?

**LightenNLift** · 01-24-2010, 10:21 PM

Carotein Nourishing and Fairness Cream, is hands down the best and most afforable AHA Cream.

heidihill · 01-24-2010, 10:28 PM

I use the Maximum Renewal Gel from Defilage. The site is bargainskincare. I also use the body one because I sometimes get acne on my shoulders and back (I think it's from hairspray over spray) and it works great!

heidihill · 01-24-2010, 10:29 PM

I just looked at the info on my bottle. It has glycolic and lactic acid.

Eternal · 01-24-2010, 10:34 PM

Ok, I'll check out the Maximum Renewal Gel from Defilage.

Carotein Nourishing and Fairness Cream was the one that Goddessof Earth used, correct? I'll check out Amazon, I didn't see this at Walgreens though, but I'll check their site out too.

I really love how the lactic acid peels made my arms feel and some of my scars have faded away. I am wondering if I pour and mix some of the lactic acid peel into an AHA lotion for more exfoliation and scar fading..

heidihill · 01-24-2010, 10:38 PM

I love the lactic acid or Vitamin C scrubs too. I'm too scared to use some of the concentrations that so many people here do. It would be my luck to end up making my skin melt off my face. lol

Eternal · 01-24-2010, 11:04 PM

Which concentrations are you referring too? I haven't tried glycolic peel yet, only a 10% glycolic cream..which reminds me I should finish it off as it was nice. Right now I'm using lactic 50%, my skin has become adapted to it now.

heidihill · 01-24-2010, 11:05 PM

I've just seen how all these people are WAY over doing it. One person was talking about such a high amount of a concentration that I'm surprised they didn't burn themselves.

heidihill · 01-24-2010, 11:06 PM

Oh, but this was like the first day I got on to this site. I can't remember all of it now. I think the first day I was on here I tried to play catch up and read almost all I could..

How does AHA lighten the skin? Where's a reliable site you could buy it from?

**LightenNLift** · 01-24-2010, 11:35 PM

AHA's remove dead skin cells and the Vitamins A B C D E and K and niacinamide brighten the skin, and it leaves your skin fresh for skin lighteners such as HQ or Sepiwhite to work deeply and effectively. If you use it alone, it will get rid of all your superficial acne scars, marks, and dark spots. Here is where you can purchase it from for the lowest price in the US: http://xtremebeauty.net/index.php?ma...1cdc2]Carotein Cream Jar 8.5oz [CARJ] - $7.50 : Xtreme Beauty International, Hair products, Skincare, Beauty supply, Soap, Beauty cream

Another one is the NeoStrata body lotion. Wonderful stuff. A bit more expensive than some of the other choices here but I've used this one myself & I loved the results: glowing exfoliated skin.

Eternal · 01-28-2010, 02:09 AM

thanks everybody.

I almost forgot about the neostrata lotion, what is the price range for this and best place to get it?

What Are The Best AHA Lotions/Creams?....nucelle mandelic acid case closed lol
Mandelic acid has a long history of use in the medical community as an antibacterial, particularly in the treatment of urinary tract infections.[4] It has also been used as an oral antibiotic. Lately, Mandelic acid has gained popularity as a topical skin care treatment for adult acne. It is also used as an alternative to glycolic acid in skin care products. Mandelic acid is a larger molecule than glycolic acid which makes it better tolerated on the skin. Mandelic acid is also advantageous in that it possesses antibacterial properties, whereas glycolic acid does not.
Its use as a skincare modality was pioneered by Dr James E. Fulton, who developed vitamin A acid (tretinoin, Retin A) in 1969.[5] On the basis of this research, dermatologists now suggest mandelic acid as an appropriate treatment for a wide variety of skin concerns, from acne to wrinkles; it is especially good in the treatment of adult acne as it addresses both of these concerns. Mandelic acid is also recommended is a pre- and post-laser treatment, reducing the amount and length of irritation caused by laser resurfacing.

Hey Goatlady how are your baby goats doing? Any new ones?

Goatie · 02-04-2010, 10:17 AM

they goats are doing great. No babies. I probably won't breed until May for October babies. They just do better during cooler months.
