Skin Doctors

an update: It works! It smoothens my textured skin, less acne scars and less recurring blemishes. A jar lasts me to 4 months using it every night. Now I’m ready for the next step, the Gamma Hydroxy Forte. Which is more concentrated formula. A skin resurfacing cream. Kinda pricey but hope it is worth it. Claims to dramatically smoothes the appearance of acne scarring, wrinkles and the visible signs of skin ageing. Gamma Hydroxy is a blend of AHAs and BHAs, It has Glycolic acid, Salisylic acid and Lactic acid. My concern is my oily, acne prone skin with blackheads and acne scars. This claims not only to exfoliate the outer layer but penetrates deeper to reveal new skin underneath. The cream’s texture is kinda oily you have to spread a thin layer. Advised to use twice a day with suncreen of spf 30 at least during the day and moisturizer at night. Too early to tell the difference, I have to wait and see it in 2 weeks. I will update soon after few weeks!

What a great product. My skin has scaring, occasionally breaks out, hormonal problems, blackheads, marks, pigmentation and dry combination. Within 2 weeks I could notice a big difference to the overall look of my face. The scaring and pigmentation has reduced and less problems appearing. Had so many compliments on how much nicer and fresher it looks. After finishing this jar of cream I will move onto the 'forte' to see what that does.

I am unsure if this is available outside Australia, but it's definitely worth trying if you can get your hands on some. It's a thick textured cream with a generous whack of glycolic, lactic and salicyclic acids. They don't state the percentages of each, but after two weeks of using in place of my serum am and pm my skin is smoother, brighter and better hydrated. My skin is pretty tough and used to acids so there is no burning or tingling for me at all. It's not without cons-jar packaging, it's thick bordering on greasy, and I'd really like to know the percentages, but at under AU50 a pop, I'm very pleased. The usual aha warnings apply-use your spf and don't go bananas! There's also a "forte" version of this with added retinols which I plan to try in the pm to see if there are some additional benefits to be had.
