I am using a sample right now but plan on buying the full size soon. After only 3-4 uses (at nighttime) my skin looked brighter and more even toned, and my hyperpigmentation marks had visibly faded. I have used Mama Lotion, as well as glycolic and TCA peels in the past, but nothing worked as fast and gentle as this. Must be cause it´s a blend of different ingredients, lactic & glycolic acid as well as glycerine to hydrate the skin.
Pros:price (compared to other dermatologist brand serums and treatments). Delivers results fast, doesn´t leave skin dry Cons:
I gave this product two weeks, and was going to commit to use up all the product in the bottle, but my face was so much worse after two I am not going on. The face wash is ok, and I kinda like the moisturizer, but the spot treatment doesn't work at all, and the acne treatment gel burned and irritated my skin so bad. I only had a few pimples when I started and now I have red scars all over and my face just hurts. I only had acne on one side of my neck when I started the complex kit and now I have acne on BOTH sides of my neck. If you are thinking of buying this, don't! I ignored all the bad reviews too and now I am leaving one of my own!
Pros:Product will last a good while, you only need a little, great to use if you love acne Cons:Packaging not too grand, no ingredients listing on the bottles, breaks out your face, too expensive to continue buying or to buy each product seperate either
I find that one squirt is more than enough to cover my whole face and neck. My skin has been very oily lately, but I might have been so before I started using this product, so I am not sure. It's not a wonder product - the $100 anti-aging serums probably work better, but overall I HAVE noticed an improvement in my skin. Although I still do have some deeper white heads around my chin and jawline and light black heads on my nose and center of chin, they have definitely become less noticeable than before I started using this. I began noticing the difference after about 2 weeks. I do use a moisturizer as the bottle says 5 minutes after applying the serum. I do this not because it makes my skin feel dry but in an effort to cut down on the oil production.
Pros:Easy to apply. Seems to noticeably clarify skin appearance. Not the most expensive out there. Fairly gentle and non-drying. Cons:Sort of expensive - I probably would have tried a drug store product if not for a Sephora gift card I needed to spend.

MaMa lotion is a blend of mandelic and malic acid, which are both Alpha Hydroxy Acids. This product has gotten fantastic reviews, and helps with discoloration like post-acne marks, melasma and sunspots. I personally saw a little improvement already after about 3 uses (I had a sample and then ordered the full size. You can´t get this in a store, but you can order it from various websites), but generally you see great results with prolonged use.
This is primarily a nighttime treatment, as AHAs can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. It´s recommended to apply this every other night. If your skin is a little sensitive you can still use MaMa lotion, but maybe start out with using it once or twice a week. You´ll see how your skin handles it, if it starts to flake and get dry you know you used it too frequently.
Pros:reduces skin discoloration better than any low percentage chemical peel I tried while being more gentle to the skin. Cons:price, pump dispenser gets sticky and clogged
I really don't think I can express my love for this product! Seriously, it's quite possibly the best thing I have ever used on my face. It's packed full of goodness for your skin! I've noticed such a huge difference in my skin since I've been using this. I didn't have any problems other than the occassional breakout but my skin is now so soft!
You only need the absolute tiniest amount so the jar is going to last months and months. I use this in place of moisturiser morning and evening.
i can not express how upset i was when i got ready to apply this stuff tonight and found out that it was actually done =( this HG spot treatment of mine works wonders on blemishes!
honestly this is one of my skin saviors! it is an acne clearing genie in a tube! a bit pricey but well worth it! totally cleared my skin and kept it clear!
The capsules come in a little glass pot that contains 28 of them. By the 5th night I can start seeing a difference. My face does seem more radiant and younger looking in 28 days. I am quite pleased with the results. It really glides effortlessly over my skin. I was pleased that it wasn't greasy but it wasn't moisturizing enough as well. I usually have to apply a moisturizer over it. The capsules were too small and there never seem to be enough product to go over my entire face and neck (and I actually have a small face too.) I took a breather after finishing my first pot - for a one-month supply seemed pretty steep. After a couple of weeks, my skin is starting to look dull again. ~~ I must have my radiance back!
Pros:radiant, younger looking skin, anti-oxidant Cons:pricey, small capsules with too little product
this is one of the main reasons i haven't broken out recently, this stuff really got me and now i'm addicted to it,the nasty smell is a small price to pay for clear skin!
Pros:has stopped me from breaking out
only product that has worked so well! Cons:smells a bit bad but its a small price to pay for gorgeous skin
i apply the serum both AM and PM after cleansing and toning, and the Spot Treatment both AM and PM aswell after the serum, im really loving this my pigmented areas and sun spots have greatly reduced!
i mix 1 scoop of this with my moisturizer and spread a thin layer over my face and after about two to three uses i can already see my skin starting to brighten and look MUCH more healthy!
Pros:great product! actually works,i see great improvement in my skin! Cons:none
I received a sample at Sephora and after only 4 uses (A.M. and P.M before my regular moisturizer) I am off to buy the full size tomorrow. I have some hyperpigmentation on my cheeks from past breakouts, and those are slightly fading already. Overall my skintone looks more even and glowy.
This is the first skincare product I ever tried that´s marketed for hyperpigmentation issues (I do use MAC´s Microfine Refinisher and 40% Glycolic Acid though, and a 12,5% TCA peel occasionally), so I don´t know how this product compares to other products for hyperpigmentation.
All I know is that I love this, I´ll buy it even though it´s so expensive! By the way, I read that the bottle will last you somewhere around 4 months with the recommended twice daily application.
Pros:evens out complexion, fades hyperpigmentation, makes skin glowy Cons:the pricetag
