I bought this one with a great deal at SkincareRx, so in spite of the high price tag, it's not so expensive. I like it because it's pregnancy-safe, and works great for pimples. During pregnancy I...

Started with the original Mama Lotion. It is very strong and caused some dryness and peeling - it is an acid so not unexpected. It also feels sticky on my skin which I don't like. Rather than throw...

This stings so bad! I can only use this a few times a week, every other day at most because I feel like I need to give my skin a break. Fortunately the stinging only lasts a few minutes, but it...

This product is Amazing!!! Yes it is sticky, but it is completely worth it. I only use it at night and my skin is so much clearer. It is a much better product than benzoyl peroxide which irritates...

I don't love this. I got this instead of my usual mandelic as they were out of stock and I had a coupon for 20% off. It is usually $50. The texture is an extremely sticky gel cream. It never quite...

I don't usually write reviews, partly because I don't get most of the ravings. (It's not you, girls. It's me, my skin.) But well, this lotion made me break my "rule". It might be the closest thing...

This is a review for the 12%. I'm actually on my 2nd bottle of this. It took me a while to figure out the right amount to use, otherwise it is way too sticky. I like how it gently fades acne scars...

I don't know whether this really perfected skin tone- it did not erase pores, scars etc. as touted on the package. It just made me feel as if I'd mistakenly painted my face with nail polish top...
