the real miracle in a jar for me [SEP] i have been a user of the alpha hydrox products for several years i am going on and some people still mistake me for to early s i especially love the souffle cream trust me if you purchase this product it will work so well that you may take it for granted someday do not i made that mistake and it almost cost me my skini had run out of the souffle and was lazy one day when repurchasing my skin care products so i bought a drugstore brand of a popular new simply radiant skin care system with fancy soy proteins in it i wanted to even out my skin tone african american with a couple of dark dots left over from a few small pimples after using the moisturizer for a week i started developing cystic acne type bumps on my face big pus filled lumps that developed in clusters on my cheeks and forehead i was horrified i immediately stopped using the moisturizer and the cysts stopped developing but the damage was done i had slowly healing cystic acne bumps on my face when i returned the cream to the drug store the clerk took one look at me and quickly gave me my money back the bad skin reaction was that obviousi ordered the alpha hydrox souffle as soon as i could along with the alpha hydrox aha swipes to help accelerate my skin exfoliation i used the swipes times a week and the souffle morning and night after a month i finally got the acne under control after two months my skin was smooth again after six months i was able to take the most gorgeous headshots i have ever had done and the graphic artist only had to retouch shine on my forehead and chin there is only a pinhead sized indentation left over from the acne scars and all the deep colored hyperpigmented spots have completely healed and disappeared my skin is baby smooth even toned and if i had told you that approximately eight months ago i had deep acne scars on my face you would never believe mei am back to just the souffle morning and evening for maintenance but i will never take using my alpha hydrox products for granted ever again
