Details
This is an 8% AHA cream that I've used daily for the last 7 years. Neostrata offers a lotion and a cream AHA product, so if you prefer a lighter option, the lotion works well also. I initially used the cream every other day to minimize irritation, and now use it 2/day (morning/evening) in the spring/summer months, and in combination with a moisturizer during the fall/winter months or when I travel. I have extremely sensitive skin, and had problems with periodic breakouts until I started using this product. The primary benefits I see, other than eliminating breakouts, are better skin texture, smaller pore size, and better skin tone/color. I've tried other, more expensive brands and this one IS THE BEST. Incredible value for the money. Easy to find online.

Conclusions
Terrific AHA product, superior to the major brands
