Reviva Labs 5% Glycolic Acid Crème

This product actually does what it claims--which is a rare find among the cosmetic products I've tried. I've only been using this for about two weeks but I've already noticed a difference in the appearance of some Very Fine Lines in the corners of my forehead. I also have noticed that I'm not getting the fine little red bumps/small acne on my forehead since using this. While I don't know how well this would work on deep lines and wrinkles, I'm definitely pleased I saw these results so quickly.I should note that I had been using this twice a day since day one, entirely because I had been using other AHA and/or BHA products over several years. As it recommends only using this once a day for the first week or so, it is entirely possible I saw results so quickly because I was using twice as much during that same time frame. I still think the results are amazing and I'd still honestly recommend this to anyone who has a problem with fine lines and wrinkles.I should also note that I had some slight stinging when using this product for the first couple of days, in spite of my having used other AHA and/or BHA products. In addition, I had a little peeling on my face for the first two days, mostly in the corners of my forehead where I had been applying the most of this cream. Still, this is now one of three things I use on my cleaned face before I apply makeup or go to bed at night.After trying MANY things over MANY years, this and two other items are now staying in my routine and for which I have given 5-star reviews. The other two are:1.  The BEST ORGANIC Vitamin C Serum for Face with Hyaluronic Acid, 20% C + E Professional Topical Facial Skin Care Helps Repair Sun Damage, Fade Age Spots, Dark Circles, Wrinkles & Fine Lines -1 oz : I use this one immediately after cleaning. I find it not only leaves my skin very soft to the touch but after a couple of weeks it was visibly firmer. I also use this on my neck and chest area. While I've liked other Vitamin C/Hyaluronic Acid serums quite a bit, to date, this is my favorite and is the one from which I've noticed the greatest results. (I'd definitely use this before trying that *other* "better than botox" serum, which does almost nothing.)2. The  Neocutis Lumiere Bio-restorative Eye Cream with PSP, Anti-aging, 0.5 Ounce . This is the one the cosmetic surgeons recommend for under eye hollows and circles. While I don't have any fine lines around my eyes (and, therefore, cannot comment on that) I noticed while starting my second month that my hollows and circles were dramatically reduced--to the point the cosmetician at a Seph*** told me that I didn't need to get an under eye concealer. I do still have a tiny fine line under each eye, but it is minuscule compared to the kinds of hollows I've had since... forever. My dark circles are now barely noticeable, even without makeup. While I'm still hoping for continued improvements--and it supposedly takes three months to get full improvements--I've honestly noticed better results with this one product than I have with any other under eye serum or lotion I've tried, even when using other products for years at a time.*** These are all my honest reviews. At the time of this writing, I have never once, ever, taken money or products in exchange for a review. You can read my other reviews for comparison. ***

****UpdateI have used this product for a month now, I am running out of my first container. I have noticed contained acne control and significant reduction in my finest wrinkles. I think this is a good product to use for starting out, but should certainly be paired with a good sunscreen (I live in the desert and can *feel* that if I am out in the sun at all I will burn while using this without a sunscreen). I plan to order the 10% next and see if that does more; I will report back and if not, continue using the 5% until I am older.I sort of felt like this was an impulse buy, but I am so glad I bought it! I have been using other prescription acne products (retin-A and a topical antibiotic) for several years, but I am going through a very prolonged and stressful time in my life and they just stopped working at all. Plus my insurance doesn't coverage these products and they were getting expensive as well as pointless. I was having terrible break-outs and becoming neurotic about anti-aging skin care as my 30th birthday draws near. It was both pimples and alot of cystic acne (the deeper, swelling bump kind).So, this product and other reviews said it helped with fine lines, fading scars, and "problem skin." I figured what the h***, I have all three but have never tried glycolic acid, so why not. I chose the lower concentration simply because with all the other products I have been using and some important public occasions coming up, I did not want to risk a bad reaction.I put this on as per the directions ("for the first four weeks: apply at night and leave on for one minute, then add a night cream") and the NEXT MORNING virtually ALL of my cystic was GONE and my other acne was really cleared up!! I never IMAGINED such an instant response, I was hoping for something by the end of the month! And I have never had any remedy whatsoever, prescription, home, OTC, do anything much for my cystic acne.It has been approximately a week now. I realize this is too soon to report on the effects the cream might have on my acne scars and fine lines, but I wanted to leave this review now because I have just had such an amazing and incomparable success with this product as a cystic and other acne treatment, I thought other customers might be interested. I will update this review in a few weeks regarding other product uses.

This product is a GODSEND for my hormonal acne! This is my second jar of glycolic acid, and I feel like it’s been long enough now that I can write a solid review.After having my daughter, my skin was suddenly a wreck. I was getting deep, painful cysts along my jawline, along with smaller surface acne on my cheeks. Overall I was a mess, and no makeup could cover it! I was so unhappy with the texture of my skin I turned to amazon, and came across this skin cream. I bought this, along with hyaluronic acid from Tree of Life (also on amazon, check it out!). The combination of these two products COMPLETELY transformed my skin.I started out just using the glycolic acid once a day, but quickly bumped it up to twice a day (morning and night) once my skin adjusted. I have somewhat sensitive skin, and do feel a bit of a sting, but to me that means it’s working! The 5% to me is perfect, I don’t know that I would venture out to the 10%. This is strong enough to cause a bit of peeling, but not bad enough to cause burns (you can burn yourself if you aren’t careful/apply too strong of an acid too quickly! Please build up your tolerance!!). This is my first experience with any kind of acid, and I highly recommend to anyone experiencing hormonal acne. My skin tone has evened out so much, I can’t believe it. A lot of scarring has faded, and my skin is incredibly smooth. If I do break out, it’s much smaller/heals way faster than before.Side note: sometimes I do notice that I’m beginning to peel a lot around the corners of my mouth/nose. When this happens, I’ll skip a day of applying this cream and only use my hyaluronic acid to let my skin have a break. Use your good judgement as this is an acid. If you go slow and steady, and stick to your routine, this can make all the difference.

Useless spoilt my face,only tall claims,not at all effective
