Alpha Hydrox Targeted Skin Lightener

Are you guilty? Guilty of spending a little too much time in the sunshine with little or no SPF? Umm confess..it's good for the soul!  Now that you are getting a little older have you noticed some "sun" spots are your face? A few patches of uneven skin tone?

Well you are not alone...join the club!  I am very guilty of spending too much time in the sun with little or no SPF and now it has caught up w/me.

A few years ago I dropped a lot of money into a well known brand that was suppose to clear up these spots...but several hundred dollars later...no visible results.

In my search for a product that might actually work I came across the Alpha Hydrox skin care line.  After some research and weighing the odds of the strong ingredients I decided to try some of their products.  I have the foaming face wash and the enhanced anti-wrinkle lotion (w/10% glycolic AHA).  This product line is not very everyone especially those with sensitive skin but I believe the products work.  I normally use them in the summer when my skin is really oily, dirty, and grimy (hence working the the flower garden all the time) and these products in small doses really works for me.

Due to the sunspots on my face especially on my forehead and my cheeks (nearly the outline of my sunglasses) my vanity finally got the best of me and I decided to take a chance on this product. I've been using it twice a day for about 2 weeks and (yes!) I am beginning to notice that the spots are lighter and some are "breaking up" allowing my skin to become more even toned.  I'm hoping by summer that I will see dramatic results.  But be warned...this can cause skin irritation and sometimes my skin gets a little irritated with it so don't over do it even though you may be tempted to do so!

Have you used skin lighteners?  If so, let me know what product you tried and what the results were!  Can't wait to hear from you!
