Skin Care Review: Neostrata Body lotion

Rating
Good

Benefits
The skin has a slightly smoother, tighter appearance after a week.

Drawbacks
Skin is more sensitive to the sun.

Details
I used this lotion on my face- although it is marketed and sold as a body lotion- it has 10% alpha hydroxy acids, and is better value than the smaller quantity face lotions in the same brand line. The ingredients appeared to be almost identical to the face lotions in this brand.

I used this lotion several years ago for approximately one year. I found on my younger skin (age 28) the results were more dramatic than now(age 34). However it still has a noticable smoothing after a weeks use. It can cause some acne or irritation on sensitive skin and I noticed this if I used it every night, so then i switched to alternate nights. I had no problems with this except mild tingling.

Conclusions
I found the 4% face lotion to work quite well also. sensitive skins might use 8% or 4% .
