Amazed With Results! Glycolic Acid and Kojic Acid

Hello,

I have wriiten some posts before on this subject. I got three emails from people I supplied my information with. There are two products you need to get for hand and face. One is glycolic acid cream (10%) also kojic acid. The Kojic acid can be founf in Palmers Skin Sucess Section. It will be in a box and it will state ON THE COVER that it has KOJIC acid. Do not use just any Palmers/Skin Success most of them have just hydroquinone. You need hydroquinone but in conjunction with kojic acid to speed up result. My results have been amazing for achieving an even tone. For two months I used kojic acid alone, and saw good results. (Mind you, this was on my face not hand, but skin is skin). For 3 days I have been doing the opjic regimine WITH the glycolic cream 10%. AMAZING RESULTS! Freaking amazing. My skin is so smooth. The glycolic acid sloshes off dead skin cells at amout 25% faster than normal rate! Skin cells usually flake off about once every 27-28 days. You will peel slighly but it will reveal younger, more radiant skin. Trust me.

Products I use:

Glycolic Acid Cream- 10%- from GNC or Amazon.com. I wnt list the product because I have tried several and as long as you get 10% or higher it will work, regardles of carrier. If you are intereseted in who I use: here you go: Reviva. It is strong so go lightly at first. YOU DO NOT WAS OFF! Just rub in.

Kojic Acid: Palmers Skin Success from Walmart

Here is my regimen. Morning and Night.

Wash face with Clean and Clear Blackhead Removal Wash
Rub in glycolic acid (lightly...it make take 1-4 days for skin to get used to strength)
Wait 2-3 minutes
Rub in Kojic Acid
It will definitely tingle and sting, but a dermatologist told me that the acid is penetating the layers of skin cells and "ungluing" the cells, allowing them to lift off.

PLEASE TRY THIS ONCE LADIES, you will love yourselves and your beautiful skin.

i also heard that the lactic acid is safer of black skin

I can safely say glycolic and kojic acid gave me the best results!

I had been using the papaya/kojic soap for a few weeks and at night time use the glycolic cream 10%. That was doing no good so i got a 15% and WOW!!!

2days late im pat drying my face after wash with the soap... i started to peel. i counted litterally 5 spots that just "rubbed off"
I use one of those exfoliating flannels to pat dry my face and its white, there was just dead skin all over it. kinda freak me over. my skin has a glow to it.

ive stopped using the glycolic cream every night, i just use aloe vera at night and my normal "simple" moisturiser in the day time.

p.s YOU MUST USE SUN SCREEN!

long term usage of glycolic acid is not good for dark pigmented skin
