 Miracle in a jar |

| I am 24 years old and was searching for a cream that I can stick with for many years to come. This is the absolute only cream that has ever given me visible results in a short period of time. My skin RARELY breaks out anymore and my skin tone is sooooo even now. This also works wonders on old acne scars. This particular product may tend to dry out your skin so as reccomended on the jar I usually follow it up with a moisturizer. I just use the alpha hydrox spf 15 moisturizer. Another bit of advice if you are looking to try these products ....the alpha hydrox website is so much cheaper. I got a whole set that included the souffle, spf 15 lotion, facial peel, spot lightener, and face wash for around $40 including shipping. Their site also offers a whole sample set of all of the products listed above for $1 a piece. I bought 7 samples to test out before I bought the full size products. Also, you will learn from the website that its normal to break out when you first start using it because your skin is getting used to the aha's. I broke out a tiny bit and then it went away and now its working wonders. Now, if Alpha Hydrox would just invent a cream that cures chronic dark undereye cirlces I would be flawless. |

I have never taken the time to actually review a product but I just had to for this one. Let me tell you a little bit about my skin condition and how this product has affected me.
I'm 26 years old with very fair skin. However, many of my high school/college years were spent in a tanning bed. I've always loved my skin when tan but when it finally sunk in that if I kept tanning I would look like a prune, I luckily stopped for good. However, I always hated the way my skin looked. Very blotchy, often dry, and I still get pimples at 26! I've tried every product under the sun and nothing, at least for me has lived up to its promises!
This product is truly amazing. When I first tried it, it stung my sensitive skin. I used it for about 2 weeks then stopped because I didn't think it was working. If you have acne prone skin, it will make you break out a little at first because all of those pimples will be forced to the surface. So I stopped using it. However, after reading all the good reviews, I decided to give it another shot. It's been about a month of using this product and boy have I seen drastic changes in my skin. My skin is 100 percent softer and smoother. Old acne scars that I had (my skin scars very easily) are lightening up and my complexion is much more even. And, the best part is, I get no more pimples so don't have to use drying products like benzoyl peroxide anymore!! My face is so smoothe throughout the day and it stays that way! It is truly amazing, but the trick is, you HAVE to give it about a month before you will truly see results! Be patient!!
Ok, for those with a similar skin condition to me, just want to let you know my skin care routine using this product.
Morning - wash with cetaphil daily cleanser, apply alpha hydroxy souffle, let dry then apply good moisturizer ( i use eucerine spf30) Make sure you use a noncomedogenic one with a good sunscreen!!
Evening - wash with plexion cleansing clothes (need prescription), apply alpha hydroxy souffle, then a good night cream ( i use neutrogena visibly even night cream and it's worked wonders)
I also take nicomide which is a vitamin my dermatologist prescribed for helping with acne.
Sorry this review is so long, but I just really wanted to offer my advice and let you know what has given me amazing results! If it wasn't for websites like this, I would never have known to purchase all of the products I use! I really hope this helps!! |
Best I have found.

| I am 60 years old and have tried every high-end product on the market. After one week of using the Souffle my skin glowed, felt extrememly soft, and was noticed by my husband (who doesn't notice anything!) Some other products left my skin greasy or dry and flaking. I have rosacea and it has become less noticable. This is just right and I can't say enough good about it. Nothing is going to change my skin back to my 20's but this does a great job of aging gracefully. |

Quickly approaching (a still, sadly, rather vain) age 40, I have personally spent a small fortune over the years trying to slow the aging process and reverse the effects of too many days spent gardening without sunscreen. I cannot even begin to list all the products I've somewhat foolishly gambled on to get my skin looking better. This product--and several other products offered through the company NEOTERIC (all under the Alpha Hydrox brand)--are exactly the answer I've been looking for. I've used them both alone and in conjunction with a more expensive brand of anti-aging products (for which I've also left good reviews on this site), and I can see great improvements both ways.
I decided to try this brand of alpha hydroxy cream after reading in Dr. Oz's (and Dr. Roizen's) book You: Staying Young: The Owner's Manual for Extending Your Warranty (You). I'd tried several other alpha hydroxy products before this one (i.e. ROC, etc.) and must say this particular line (ALPHA HYDROX) is far superior to any other I've used. That it is also apparently considerably less expensive than most is icing on the cake, in my book.
Regarding this product, I find the key is to use it AT LEAST once a day, and always after using a mild cleanser. At my age I still get acne and, despite my sometimes manic picking, I notice it (and any residual puffiness or redness, and resulting scarring) clears up much, much more quickly than it used to. Also, my skin breaks out much less than before I used this. The tone and color of my skin are far improved when compared to prior to using this product. I've run out of it before and tried to use something else until I was able to locate more locally, and to my dismay the condition of my skin began to deteriorate.
I won't try to insult anyone by saying the Alpha Hydrox line will remove every wrinkle or fix all your skincare woes. If there is a product out there that does this, I want to know! But for now, this is by far the best line of products I've used. I use this item, particularly, with the line of skincare I reviewed previously, as that seems to address reversing the signs of aging better (where this one, for me, just improves the overall condition and appearance of my skin). |

| This is great cream for those who want an anti-aging and an anti-blemish cream. It actually even out my skin tone and makes my skin feel nice and soft in the process. I think my skin actually "glows". :-) I noticed the difference within a week. I have really sensitive skin, if I put on the wrong type of moisturizer or cream, I will break out. This product doesn't make my skin break out...instead it does exactly what it said it would do. I am pleasantly surprised. Plus the price is nice. This is a great product for my skin type. |
BEST product around for your money!!

This is one of the best products I've ever used for over-all appearance of your skin, especially at this price!! It is NOT a miracle deep wrinkle cream. I've used many brands-- Clinique, Lancome, etc.! I've sold cosmetics for two popular direct-market cosmetic companies. Battled with condome-type acne (white heads that flare up into pimples# all my life. My dermatologist suggested an AHA #alpha hydroxy acid# years ago before it hit the markets. It worked miracles for me as the retin A products were just too harsh. Not sure why the previous reviewers doctor gave such a harsh response. Maybe because AHA's do work by breaking down the dead skin cells faster. It's like comparing battery acid to lemon juice #citric acid# though.
If you haven't been using a quality skin care regimen, it can cause some extra condomes #white heads# or flare-ups the first few weeks. I would worn my clients of this. This will happen ANYTIME you begin a good skin care regimen, also. There is a bunch of garbage there that has never been removed and now your cleaning house! On average, you can probably expect 3-4 pimples by the second week, with one or two the next 2-3 weeks. The good is that because your using this product, they will disappear quicker and they were flare-ups you were proably going to get at some point in the future- and now they're out of the way! For the worst skin, I would suggest starting at least 6-8 weeks before any major event: weddings, reunions, proms, etc. Make sure you are using the right product for your skin type. Oil-free for oily, acne prone skin; nourishing for dryer skin types. Use with care if you have sensitive skin! Try diluting it with a little water in the palm of your hand; do not scrub your face prior; try skipping a day or two in between. If it is still irritating, skip the skin treatment products and try the facial cleansers instead-- your aiming at lowering the % of AHA that your skin is exposed to. I have used it on my preteens in this manner.
You do have to remember that AHA products aren't cosmetics, they're more like an OTC medicine. You will feel some tingling as it works. You will have to be careful of scrubbing your skin too much when you first start using this. Do not use them in combination with retinol products until you know how both of them effect your skin. It won't cause any damage or anything, just might cause some unwanted irritation.
Again, this is NOT a miracle drug for deep wrinkles! #There is NOTHING topical on the market that will give you lasting results on deep wrinkles. There are however some products that do work for 3-8 hours.) Alpha Hydrox Souffle WILL help reduce some of the fine lines caused by unhealthy, aging skin. |

| Reviewer: megan ross, |
| I saw the reviews, and thought...okay, I will give it a shot. I am 30, fair caucasion, who gets hormonal acne and I have started to notice fine lines, and my pores. I have been using this for almost two months now, and within one week of using this every day, I noticed dramatic results. The lines around my eyes are gone, GONE. The pores are contracted, there is a general smoothness, and that glow is there like others mentioned. I have never been the type to have that perfect porcelain skin, but this definitely makes me feel better about what I do have. I have had one bout of an outbreak of acne since using it, but it was my fault, I got lazy. I highly recommend this product. One more note, I have sensitive skin leaning more towards the dry end of the spectrum, and this did NOT bother it at all. I was waiting for that one, since some people said initially there may be irritation. NONE. |

| Reviewer: Moma Rose, CA, USA |
| I have been using this product for over 20 years. I first learned about it when I was a college student and saw a segment on a news program that said this product was better than expensive, high-end creams sold at department stores. At the time, I found it at K-Mart for $7.00. It is no longer sold at K-mart and I went for a few years without using it. It was during this period that I realized how wonderful this product was. When I didn't use the product, my skin looked "old" and "textured". Once I found the product again I was amazed at how youthful my skin looked. I am over 40 and I have flawless skin and do not need to use any foundation to cover any imperfections. People always ask me for my beauty secret and I also give full credit to my Alhpa Hydroxy from Neoteric. It is cheap and it is amazing. I just gave my 15 year old daughter a jar of it and told her to use it on her acne-prone skin. She came up to me after using the product for a week and said that her skin is so much better. Now you know that it must work, because it is not often that a 15 year old daughter acknowleges her mother's advice. Miracle in a jar!! |

| Reviewer: 1976, Houston, TX |
I've been using this product for a couple of months now, along with jojoba oil for extra moisture. This is probably the best product I've bought for my face to date. Alpha hydroxy acid is an exfoliator that works by weakening the bonds between skin cells, thus increasing the cell turn over rate. What does this mean? You'll wake up with fresh new skin revealed. What does this mean in the long run? I don't know. I've been trying to look into medical texts regarding the dangers of using AHA long term. AHA is currently regarded as safe but I wonder whether altering the rate of skin cell production in the long run would cause any harm. What's known though, is that it's IMPORTANT to use sun screen while using this product! Using it will help prevent skin cancer especially when your skin is in such a fragile state.
This product is a somewhat heavy cream, hence souffle and all it takes is a little dab in the pot and onto your skin. Results I've noticed: smoother skin, clearer skin. Wonderful buy. And a little goes a long way. I think it'll be at least a year before I finish the jar. I use it at night, daily. |
Wonderful effective nightcream!

| I absolutely love this product. I have acne-prone skin with some fine lines, and has not broken me out. . but more importantly I swear my fine lines are beginning to soften after only a few weeks of use:) You do need to apply moisturizer on top of this though as your skin just sucks it up. Some tingling upon application, so you KNOW it's working! Great stuff. Don't ever stop making this product Alphy Hydrox!!! I LOVE IT! |

| Reviewer: The Taminator, The People's Republic of Indiana |
| I used this way back in the day when AHAs were the new big thing. I didn't pick it back up until about 6 weeks ago, and boy I could kick myself for not giving this stuff a fighting chance years ago. It really helped with acne, as well as reversing the beginnings of fine crow's feet on my right eye, made spots fade... it's hard to believe this is my skin. One jar looks like about a 3 month supply, so one purchase will be enough for you to decide if it's for you or not. If you're acne prone and wary of putting a cream on your face, this is not greasy, but your skin will not really be dry, either. This is definitely worth a try for just about everyone. |

| Reviewer: M. Cowles, USA |
| I'd used the Alpha Hydrox brand in the past, always with great results, but never the 12% solution. Here's the thing: When you put this lotion on you can actually feel it working. There's a mild tingle/burning sensation. And within minutes you can detect a discernible difference in your skin's appearance. If you're looking for a product that tones your skin, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and fades dark circles under the eyes, look no further. This stuff is inexpensive, a jar lasts a long time, and it works absolute wonders. |

| Reviewer: kattitude....book worm, |
Glycolic Acid is the one ingredient that you want your facial products to have. If you have problem skin such as acne, uneven skin tone, oily skin, dry skin or wrinkles you can count on glycolic acid to fix those problems. I bought this product because glycolic acid was recommended for my skin by my skin care specialist many years ago. I have uneven skin texture, oilyness and acne. I bought some very pricey glycolic acid from her and it did work wonders but the price was way too much for me ($50.00 a jar!). So ever since I have been searching for something similiar and I think I have found it with the "Alpha Hydroxy" line. And who can beat that price?? When I say I searched for similiar products, I am not kidding. I have thrown out and gave away (not to mention stored away) so many products that didn't work it is crazy.
One thing you must understand is that you have got to be faithful with this stuff. Don't skimp and don't skip treatments unless you have a skin reaction. First you got to get your pores open and a simple pot of steaming water with a towel wrapped over your head should do the trick. Buy the facial wash and wash your face gently. Slather this souffle on and go to bed. You should feel some tingle and that is good because that means you got some open pores and this souffle is sinking in. If you don't feel the tingle, don't give up on this product! Keep using this every day and you should see some difference in a week or so.
I can't believe the difference in my skin in only two weeks. And the amazing part is that I could see a difference in my skin texture within the first few days. The climate here is very dry and my skin was suffering from being too dry also. This product fixed that. AMAZING! My acne along the jawline is also clearing up a little at a time. But it is going away and that is a huge relief because this product is working. The fine lines on my forehead are also slowly disappearing.
One more thing about using this product for acne. I was watching a infomercial about a new skin care line that is supposed to be better than ProActive (which I have tried and it didn't work). I wanted to see what the main ingredient was because they did not use benzoyl peroxide. I couldn't believe it when they said glycolic acid was their main ingredient. And here we are getting the same benefits with the "Alpha Hydroxy" line without having to be bothered with orders over the phone, trial memberships and pushing more products that we don't want or need.
Glycolic acid can be pricey so to be getting a jar for this price is a bargain. Don't let that cheap price fool you....this stuff works. |
This actually works and you do see a change

I am in my 30's with fair/medium caucasion combination skin. I have tried a variey of skincare products and this is one of the best. It is NOT a moisturizer. It acts more like a peel. I have bene using this product for about a month once a day (either morning or night does not seem to matter) under my moisturizer. Within the first week I noticed that my skin felt smoother when I washed my face. I also noticed that my makeup went on more evenly. I would not say this product is meant ot clear up blemishes (I have still gotten a few while using it same as always), but overall my skin does look better and tighter.
The other products I use in conjuntion with this that I also recommend are: Olay Regenerist Daily Renewal, ROC Deep Correxion (I use this around my eyes) and Olay Foaming Face Wash (the one wiht the black label). Another goood peel type product I have used alternately with the souffle (on alternating days) is sold by Avon under the ANEW product line. They are pads containing glycolid acid. I found neither too abrasive for my skin although sometimes there is some tingling after using which I counter-act by applying my moisutizer right after. |

| I use this every night with a retin a cream every other night, reduced my breakouts and improved the wrinkles around my eyes and on my forehead. I have extremely sensitive skin (redhead, freckles, 35 with dry skin prone to breakouts), this worked perfectly. My skin is clearer, fresh looking and brighter. I would highly recommend adding this to your daily skin care routine. I also use a vitamin c cream in the mornings. The combination is great. |

| For the price and effectiveness of the product, it's wonderful. I've seen dermatologists over the years, but nothing helped me as much as this product does. My skin texture has improved and I don't break out as much, either. My only quibble is on the instructions, it says to apply to your neck as well, but my skin there is very sensitive, so I don't. I will be sure to order more when I run out and I'll be sure to check out their other products. Product also shipped quickly! |

| I have used this (and the 10%) product for the last 10 years. It is by far the best face cream I have ever used. It keeps my skin smooth and acne free. Since being without it for the last 2 months, my skin has broken out and become blotchy, HELP! In the last few years I am finding it very difficult to find in stores. The last time I found it was in April 2008 and I purchased 2 jars that lasted me just about a year. I have been searching for the last 2 months and have not been able to locate it so I just ordered it online. Thank goodness for the online site! I can't wait to begin my daily regimen again and get back to my clear, smooth face. Please don't ever discontinue this product (if you do, let me know and I will buy all the existing stock!). |

| Reviewer: Emma, Connecticut |
| I have suffered from acne before and am starting to develop wrinkles and sun spots. However using a glycolic acid product like this one has really refined my skin and made it look as if I get facials. However people should expect that it does cause breakouts initially which is normal and goes deep into the skin's layer to bring up and out excess dirt-hence the breakouts. But one you are over that small bump in the road it's smooth sailing. I was introduced by a dermatologist to the world of glycolic acid products but also fooled into paying almost $60 for a similar product in the Doc's office. I said never again and this stuff works just as good as the dermatalogist's high priced items. Both my mother, sister, and boss/co-worker have started using it too after asking if I was wearing makeup one and and I said no. They commented on how nice my skin looked after I had been using this product and they have been buying it since. |

| Reviewer: Antonia M, PhD, New York, NY |
| I decided to go the whole 9 yards and try the foaming face wash + 12% souffle + the moisturizer. Just so you know, my skin problems are: Excessively oily skin (need two blotter sheets every hour); uneven skin tone; and clogged pores (disgusting little oil plugs peaking out, some enlarged pores and then those tiny little bumps where the oil plug hasn't hardened yet). I saw immediate results with these products in term of the oiliness and clogged pores. I've only had to blot my face once a day since I started using this stuff - big difference over having to blot every hour. The enlarge pores and the tiny bumps were greatly minimized. My skin looks much smoother. I usually use Biore pore strips to remove the plugs so, it is hard to say exactly how effective Alpha Hydros is at getting rid of these. But I don't seem to be developing them as quickly as I was before. Within a week, I saw a noticeable difference in my complexion - much brighter. I don't have wrinkles or zits, so I can't comment on that. But those tiny little clogged pores have been spreading over my face since I was 10! This is the only thing I've used that immediately and consistently improved the condition and appearance of my skin (and the my oiliness) without over drying my face. My skin is actually very supple. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because it's only been a week. I still have yet to see what the ultimate result will be--but looks promising so far. |

This was recommended in a beauty book, and my sisters and I each bought it. Whilst their skin did not like it, this is perfect for me (normal/oily) skin - and keeps those spots at bay whilst also boosting the look of my skin. It is not for everyone, but when it suits your skin, you will love it! Use sparingly...

I saw this product on Oprah and decided to try it. I've had acne and blemish prone skin for years, so I have a lot of little scarring and big pores. For the past few months I've been using proactiv and found that made a huge positive difference, but it was only after I added this cream to my daily routine that a friend saw me and said my skin was glowing - she couldn't believe I wasn't wearing any extra make up. I'm only 24, so I can't say how this works on older skin, but I hope to keep mine in good shape for many years, and this seems like a good product for it.
It tingles and sometimes stings a little when you put it on, but it really does make your skin glow. I wear it daily under my make up and so far so good. Plus, the jar is generous and a little goes a long way - it will last you months! |

| I really like the texture of this product. It's not greasy and it sinks in quickly. I like that it has no added dyes or fragrances. It's also a great price for what you get. However, it's too harsh for my face. I used it for two weeks before giving up. It left my skin very red and irritated. It felt like it was burning. It works well on my feet and elbows, but the skin on my face is just too sensitive. I think I need a product with a lower amount of glycolic acid. |

| This product doesn't pull off any miracles. The first couple of weeks it even broke me out worse. After that though, I could see an improvement in my skin. It seemed softer, smoother, and generally nicer. No significant change in the one sun spot I have. Not a bad little product for the price. The two reasons I gave it 3 stars were due to the vast number of white heads I had the first two initial weeks of use. (That was kind of crazy.) And secondly, when I told my dermatologist I was using it, the look of sheer horror and the chastising lecture I received were enough to discourage me from continuing to use it. She said a bath tub of water with a quarter cup of bleach in it would have been less damaging to my skin than this. I can't really smack down the product though since I don't have her medical training behind me. I can only pass on the review. |

| I tried this after seeing the reviews on the site. I have used this product once daily for well over a month along with the AH cleanser and spf lotion. The other products are nice. The souffle said stinging would be a normal side effect for the first few weeks, so I stuck with it. To this day, the stinging is still intense and I have seen no positive change in my skin. I was hoping that it would alleviate my acne/scars, but I'm breaking out worse than ever. If the stinging or acne does not calm soon, it looks like I'll have to move on to the next product. The Neutrogena Acne system looks promising. |

I have used Alpha Hydrox Souffle and other Alpha Hydrox products for the last 15 years. It is an incredible product. In the past year it has become unavailable at our local Rite Aid and Walgreens up here in the boonies of upstate NY. I have tried other products, Loreal, Olay, and others and nothing produces results like this product for my skin.
I decided to try buying it on line and placed my order. It promptly arrived 4 days later and I ran to the sink to clean my face and start my face routine. When I opened the jar it was nearly empty and so dried out it was not spreadable. I'd say the jar had a half inch of product if lucky. You could see where it had dehydrated back to the glass and just plain dried out and shrunk. This WAS NOT THE FLUFFY SOUFFLE I was used to. I opened the second jar I ordered, same thing!
First off, I am wondering if this product is being made any more as it is no longer available in the major chains up here in Northern NY as well as in the greater Boston area. Did I get some dried up old inventory sold off to a schlock vendor? I hope not but it would appear to be. The jars have a serial number that starts with 2005. I called the toll free line of Neuterics listed on the jar and got the classic pick a number routine. I was able to leave a number for them to call me back. If they do and make good on their product I will run to rewrite this review. For now, consider it fabulous product, horrible service, and what good is it if it is a dried up 1/4 filled jar? Don't spend your money here until we know. I am dating this review 04/02/10 and if you don't see my correction for improved customer service, stay away. In this econonomy, who has money to waste? |
