5.0 out of 5 stars
One Word: AMAZING!, October 17, 2009
This review is from: Alpha Hydrox AHA Enhanced Creme, Anti-Wrinkle Exfoliant - 2 oz (Health and Beauty)
I have used Alpha Hydrox AHA Cream for many years and I'm really not even that old. I first got my hands on my mom's when I was about 10 and managed to burn the h*** out of my eyes. :) But shortly after that I would occasionally use it and after just a single use the results were visible: clear, smooth, porcelain skin. It helped clear all my acne scars and is keeping wrinkles at bay. I usually use this product for about a month at a time and then I begin to use it again when my skin appears to need it. If you are someone who will not go out without makeup, this can really help you feel more comfortable in your own skin. A thin layer of this and a little under eye concealer could be all you need and what a great feeling that is.
I used to use a store brand AHA cream but this product is worth the few dollars extra. The store brand I tried just didn't absorb as well as this product which is very important so that it does not get into your eyes while you sleep.
Please be advised to apply this lightly, especially if you are going to be leaving the house! If you apply a layer which is too thick to be absorbed, your skin will temporarily (for about 30 minutes or so) turn tomato red! The redness doesn't take terribly long to go away but just be forewarned.
Also, if you have sensitive skin, this cream may sting when you initially apply it but it should subside shortly after it is absorbed. Just remember, no pain, no gain. ;)

better buy than the 12% version, July 13, 2007
I've used this as well as Alpha-Hydrox's more expensive 12% 'souffle' and find they are both equally effective in suppressing fine wrinkles. The difference is the 10% version costs less and contains 2 oz, while the 12% version is only 1.6 oz and costs more. I guess you're paying for the word 'souffle' -- in actual look and texture, there is no difference between the two. I used the 10% for nearly 10 years, then switched to the 12% about a year ago. The more expensive 12% version worked no better than the less expensive 10% version. I'm going back to the 10% stuff.
I'm only giving it 4 stars because I still think the cheaper version is more expensive than it needs to be. However until someone comes along with a less expensive product, it's still the best AHA buy around.
