I have a skincare product which I have been using since 10 years ago, and this is a real best-selling skincare product which has replaced abrasive and irritating scrubs with this liquid chemical exfoliants. Introducing Alpha-H Liquid Gold, a skincare product that has the ability to diminish wrinkles, sun damage, and pigmentation, brighten and revitalise dull skin, and treat both existing acne breakouts and acne scars.
Alpha-H Liquid Gold contains 5% of Glycolic Acid, an ingredient derived from fruit acids which basically works by breaking down the surface layer of dead skin cells, and allowing for brighter new skin cells to glow through. Glycolic Acid is a super exfoliant skin care ingredient that erases those unwelcome acne scars on the surface, as well as improve the underlying condition of the skin.

What I Say
I have combination skin prone to breakouts and I have really been enjoying using the Liquid Gold ever since I was introduced to it about 10 years ago. I actually had to place order once my stock replenished. The best thing about this product is its 5% Glycolic Acid which does not clog up the pores, and gently exfoliate dead skin cells, excess sebum and impurities that reveals a new and healthy skin.
I have to admit that the scent is quite strong and it has tingling effect on my skin. However, it really helps to minimise enlarged pores, and breakouts. The price may be quite expensive but a bottle can last up to 4-6 months, depending on the regularity. I usually use this during night time, before I hit the sack. Twice or thrice a week should be more than okay for me.
It is really advisable to use ample of moisturiser and sunscreen during day time just to protect the new skin cells. I would not recommend this for those who have dry or sensitive skin. I have been using this for more than 10 years, and continue to use this as a part of my skincare routine. Luckily, I can now purchase this from Sephora!
WHERE TO BUY
So many are oblivious to the fact that scalp therapy shampoos for fast hair growth (obviously without any sulfates, parabens or DEA) are even a thing. Folks can now have longer hair and enjoy more alternatives. Definitely worth considering.
