    Sorry to hear about the breakout. Was it on the face? Much luck for the second round.

    Well it was like 4/5 prominent spots on my cheeks :|
    But I went off it and used some benzyl peroxide and they went but then I went to france and couldn't fit the big bottle in my bag so I think I caught like a tan so I'm a shade darker :|
    But I'm going to use it religiously twise a day for a week and let you guys know how it goes from now
    I'm stuck on applying it though its so runny :S

    Well good luck and lets hope you don't get any more breakouts.

    Seems like a stronger exfoliate with hydrating and lightening properties. (Ascorbic acid, Sodium Lactate, Glycerine)

    Seems pretty natural, and a great scar removal system as well, despite causing further breakouts. The Bearberry extract is another form of Alpha Arbutin as well. Much less condensed, but a good lightener regardless.

    One thing you could try would be applying it temporarily for a few hours, and cleansing your face as your body often produces additional oils upon exfoliating deeply. (Then applying non-comedogenic moisturizer.) You could also use .5% salicylic acid based lotion for more extreme cases of breakout prevention.

    Anyhow, best of luck.

    That's a good idea Lil'greg. I'll still be using the 10% glycolic acid peel, I'm unsure if it will be too mild. Tooth paste is still one of my favorites for spot treatment :p. My fam always laugh when I put it on my face, but I swear it works for me every time.

    That's a nice size bottle, I was contemplating getting two, but think I should try with one first since it should last a while. While I'm waiting until payday, I have started a list of what I plan to get. And if all works well, I'll be one happy bridesmaid at my friend's wedding in the spring.

    Toothpaste definitely works, especially those containing baking soda (sodium bicarbonate). ;)

    Yes, I agree. At first when I was hearing about it I was surprised, but then reading how it helps with acne.. I was like, how come I didn't know about this when I was in high school!
