Review (5/5): I felt like Goldilocks, but I found the right one!
I have struggled with oily, acne-prone skin for the bulk of my teen and now adult years. I'm one of those people who often says I have 'tried everything' because, well, it feels like I have. From Accutane and other prescription products to drugstore finds to high end creams, I haven't left many stones unturned. All in my quest to curb an oily complexion that leads to acne.
I first discovered the Alpha Hydrox brand by accident at my local Walgreen's store while searching for new products. I purchased the Foaming Face Wash and the Enhanced Lotion, the two products carried in my local store. I quickly realized the lotion was too moisturizing for my oily skin, and purchased the Oil Free Formula instead. Believe it or not, it dried my skin WAY too much. So, I landed on the Souffle and haven't look back since. For my skin type, it really is just right!
I wash with the Foaming Face Wash twice daily and use the souffle afterwards each time. I typically follow up with a moisturizer of some kind, as my skin often feels a bit tight after using the Souffle. Alpha Hydrox's regular moiturizer in the tub is perfect.
I have noticed a major shift in my complexion after using the Souffle for the past 6 months or so. My acne has decreased significantly (I still get breakouts that time of the month, but that's an unrelated hormonal issue) and the overall texture and tone of my skin is drastically better. So much so, that I am not embarrassed to leaave the house without makeup on for the first time in my life! I've never had good skin, but this product has made me feel (and look) like I do.
I am 29 years old and often mistaken for a teenager--last week someone told me they thought I was 18 years old--and I believe my skin is a big part of that. And I now know it's not because of my acne, either!
This product is wonderful; take it from someone who has tried everything else!
