ok ladies, these were taken this weekend. now let me say that i have an ongoing facial hair problem on my chin so my hyperpigmentation problem is recurring, but the appearance and texture of my skin has improved greatly. when i finish my foundation and concealer my skin appears flawless. just wanted to make everyone aware. please feel free to post your comments.







 
i just ordered the sample - cant wait to try it! sounds like such an all round wonder product - i get so fed up having to buy different lotions to treat each skin complaint - some of which all occur in the same area of my face

also, i took a pic with my foundation and concealer on. i'll try to post that pic later today.

I'm not a woman of color, but the scarring is fading and the skin is definately smoothing out. Where do you purchase th green cream from and how fast is the shipping?

i would love for you ladies of all shades to post pics. that would do a lot to let ladies know that it really does work for everyone.

this is the pic of me with my foundation and concealer. i usually go back and cover visable spots with a concealer brush just after this step.



 
i got my sample today! woo! if im using it at night do i, cleanse - tone - mama lotion - moisturise?

also during the day - i use a separate SPF (not in my moisturiser) which goes on first as a general rule of thumb? sunscreen - moisturiser - makeup? or moisturiser- sunscreen - makeup?

thanks ladies!

btw monniej ur skin looks amaazin!

thanks so much, jasmine! i love this product because if you follow the instructions you'll see good results.
this is how i use it:

at night - cleanse, tone, light moisturize, mama lotion, let dry (about 15 mins or so)more moisturizer.

daytime - cleanse, moisturizer, spf, makeup.

i can't stress enough not to get over anxious with this product. it can make you peel like crazy so remember, only every other day to start!

 
I've ordered samples. I was hoping to get samples of green cream... anyone know a place that sells both?

The 'ad' photo is a lot different due to lighting, notice how the neck is a different color on each photo, to the same degree as the face is different. (Just saying, b/c I don't care for trick photography in advertizing)

 
Thank you. They don't have samples of the green cream - I did find a place tho. Mb I'll just stick with the Mama anyway since it seems to have better reviews.

Has anyone tried the mandelic acid 10% or 15% alone? It's way cheaper than the Mama lotion. I just ordered it at skincarerx - they cost less plus I found a coupon code.

***update - I've used the Mama lotion twice - 2 days in a row, but the first day I didn't wash my face first... so it didn't really count.

My skin is so smooth! I'll skip a day or 2 now.

 
No problem, I'm impatient and already ordered:p

I'll be patient with this... dry, flaky skin causes breakouts, too :-(

I wonder how some of the first users are doing with it now?

Should I ask about the mandelic acid on a new thread?

i would be interested in knowing more about the mandelic acid. i know that the malic acid comes from apples and pears.
i don't know if i would be considered one of the first users, but i've been at it for some time and i still love it! my first post in this thread was 8/22/06. no complaints at all from me!

 
Hi monniej, I think I got excited - started talking and missed at least this last page --- now I have to go back and see where I left off. I am glad it is still doing good for you. It's hard to trust the ads and even the testimonials on the site. The mandelic acid(10%) is 4 ounces for about $36 - I really don't want to mix, but Garden of Wisdom sells malic acid powder... I'll play with the lotions and mmu, but I don't think I want to touch this. If I understand it the malic acid is what makes it less ?caustic - not the word I'm thinking of.

 
i have been using the mama lotion for about 2 weeks now - im going to take a break for a week. Its really great stuff! my skin is smoother, clearer and i haven't had a particular problem with flaking either!

I also wanted to recommend Avon Solutions Nightly Nutrient Peel as a less expensive alternative or in addition to the Mama lotion, it resurfaces and fades discoloration. I saw results the first time I used it.

 
I use Garden of Wisdom Mandelic Acid. It has been great for my blackheads, but I thought it would fade my acne scars and brown spots. So far nada. I purchased the 10% and 15% and switch between the two.

Maybe next time I will try the Mama lotion. I bought the Mandelic from Garden of Wisdom because I heard you can use it with green cream and it does not contain alcohol, so there is less irritation.

 
Avon Solutions Nightly Nutrient Peel - I'll have to look into that - I have to make sure it's okay for melasma.

The mandelic acid 10% - i just got it and tried it - so don't know yet - it tastes like mama lotion :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> anyway, I got the 10% so that I could get the 15% next time I order. The instructions say to use twice a day - so probably not as effective as mama lotion, but costs less and you're less likely to 'overdo' it.
