I bought this several months ago used it once and then stashed it. The reason I stopped using it was mainly because it stung quite a bit after application and also I didn't read the instructions (imagine that!). Anyway, fast forward a few months and I rediscovered it AND read the label. This time I slowly introduced my face to this once or twice a week, at night. The key for me was making sure I moisturized my face thoroughly after applying. The next morning my face is positively glowing! I would surely repurchase and recommend. Just be careful and take your time if you have sensitive skin.

I have had this souffle for a little over a month and it has significantly improved the tone and texture of my skin and wrinkles. I have those lines around my neck and one of them is just about gone.
My face is smoother, more evenly toned and my under eye and outer eye wrinkles look all smooth and full.
I have oily skin due to post menopausal changes and large pores to boot so I am pretty impressed when a product helps those problems out. I have had no problems with irritation, redness or peeling. My skin is baby butt smooth. I usually slather this on, but it really doesn't take much. I don't personally need any extra moisturizer after I use this.

I like this product so much better than the MaMa lotion, which is far far more expensive.

Its light, non-sticky, non-smelly, doesn't sting, and is clearly effective at lightening my post-acne hyperpigmentation.

I really recommend getting this, its an incredible product for a really low price.

I'm not new to AHA/BHA products. I used IS Clinical Active Serum for 2 years and then Jan Marini Bioclear and Bioglycolic cleanser for another 3 years. My skin is too sensitive for manual exfoliators like the Clarisonic, so I rely on my acids for chemical exfoliation, or else will find that my skin appears dull and congested from daily makeup application. I LOVE this product. It is a fraction of the price of those previous products, yet performs wayyy better. I've been using this for 8 months and wake up everyday to clear, bright, even and refined skin. No initial purge probably because of my past exposure to acids. My skin hasn't looked this good since pre-puberty! It's not like I have good genes either; I suffer from large pores, oily skin, blackheads and dullness (no lines yet, only in my 20's). This singlehandedly takes cares of those skin woes, leaving my skincare regimen simple and effective. I cleanse with my fav Foaming Facial Wash from the line then apply this nightly. Tazorac on my chin for hormonal cystic acne and I'm set. I haven't tried this for cystic acne but it works wonders for occasional superficial pimples. HG skincare product, will buy until my skin decides it doesn't like it anymore.

*Should note that I also attribute the improvement of my skin to a better diet (cut out refined sugar) and Evening Primrose Oil capsules.

I'm so disappointed in this product. I bought it to help with acne scars and my current acne which is mostly white heads.. It honestly made me break out sooo much on the sides of my face which has never happened just like huge clusters and some of the whiteheads were even a result of 2 or 3 whiteheads joining together its awful. I tried applying every other day/at night/ during the day. At first I thought maybe my face was just purging but I've been on it for a little over a month. I wish this worked for me, idk maybe I'm doing something wrong but very disappointed indeed. Going to try one last time as a spot treatment but if that doesn't work I'm going to go get my 16$ back.

Smooth looking skin in just 5 days time! I couldnt believe my own eyes. This product has done wonders for my acne prone skin. I suffer with bad breakouts and nothing has helped as much as this souffle. I started to use this product twice a day (morning and evening) but have noticed that it was drying my oily skin out quiet abit especially around my nose and cheek area. I didnt like that because I couldnt apply foundation as well. So what I did was to only apply in the evenings with a good rich moisturizer on top once the souffle has sinked in properly into my skin. I now have no longer dry skin and still see amazing results. smooth baby skin with radiance and much less breakouts. Just to explain what the souffle really does for my skin, it basically dries out my problem areas around my face (acne) by making them eventually dissapear and showing much younger healthier looking skin. Also I have noticed that I use less foundation due to the fact that my skin has a much more even texture. The only bad thing about this product is that when you apply the souffle onto the skin you will experience a slight burning sensation and also some redness until your skin has got used to it which can be a few months depending what skin type you have (sensitive, normal etc)
Edit: After 1 week of using this my skin is VERY dry. I cant even apply foundation because of this. Im going to try applying this souffle every other day and see what happens. fingers cross because I like how this product evened out my skin texture :) sensitive people beware and use lightly

I luv Luv LOVE this product! I found out about it through MUA and like other reviewers, it burned a teeny bit at first. It also itched, but was tolerable. NOW, it doesn't burn or itch - and best of all, it makes my skin GLOW!! I think i'm on my fourth jar, and will not go without. I alternate between this and a retinol product every other night. (Weekends i may get lazy about it though). I have a bit of melasma on my forehead and i think this helps the appearance quite a bit. Don't know if anything can rid it completely.

Not only did this treatment anything beneficial for my skin, I am attributing a few new dark spots from using this AHA product.

Previously, I used a AHA product by DHC, which was nice, but discontinued, so I tried this product.

I bought this product at Ulta.
