Review 1 for Glycolic Acid 10% Moisturizer
Miraculous!
-05.19.12
Quick Take: lightweight, intensive
I always had clear skin when I was younger, but once I hit 30 I seemed to have an endless parade of whiteheads on my chin and forehead. I tried numerous topical solutions without success until I found this stuff. I've been using it at night only for the last six weeks and my skin looks amazing! I've only had one zit since I started this moisturizer and it only lasted a couple of days. Besides the absence of pimples, my akin also looks brighter! I am in love with this product!

Review 2 for Glycolic Acid 10% Moisturizer
Miracle Moisturizer
-05.02.12
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly
I have recently had a dramatic change in my skin over the past year and I couldn't find anything that would clear up my clogged pores on my forehead and chin. After I went into Sephora and talked to a sales woman who really knew her stuff, I was introduced to this product. It has changed my skin in just 2 weeks of daily night time use! It's incredible! My skin is smooth, bright, and clear for the first time in over a year. My blackheads are gone and my skin is so soft! I would recommend this product to anyone who has tried everything else without success. It moisturizes and clears skin! Best of both worlds!

Review 3 for Glycolic Acid 10% Moisturizer
Obsessed
-03.27.12
Quick Take: preventative, radiance-boosting
I had been struggling with pesky occasional breakouts for years, and was satisfied with PTR's glycolic pads, when a sales associate recommended this product. I am SO glad I tried it- it has literally changed my skin completely! I have very few breakouts now, and glowing, even, smooth skin! I'm on my third tube, and have purchased it for my sister as well. Life changer!

Review 4 for Glycolic Acid 10% Moisturizer
Great for people with dry acne prone skin
-02.21.12
Quick Take: clears up acne
I've been using this product for about 3 months now and it has helped me a lot with my acne. I have dry skin and using any type of acne product on my skin dries it out really bad. This product is great for acne but that's about it I have not noticed an improvement in the texture of my skin and it has not helped with my fine lines. As an acne product for dry skin it works great but that's all it really did for me.

amazing
-02.17.12
Quick Take: preventative, dimishes fine lines
Everyone needs this product in the war against ageing. This lotion is gentle enough for everyday use. Wear it under makeup, it's very light. My skin feels so soft and smooth. It helps with breakouts and decrease redness.

Review 6 for Glycolic Acid 10% Moisturizer
A moisturizer I can use
-02.09.12
Quick Take: preventative, diminishes pore size
This moisturizer is the first one I can actually use, and it has done wonders for my skin. The first night I used it, the large pores on my nose disappeared.
Also, my skin has cleared up tremendously. I have not looked this good since puberty!

Review 7 for Glycolic Acid 10% Moisturizer
luv it
-01.31.12
I really like this for a glycolic moisturizer. Went without if for a few months and I swear my skin just didn't look as bright or healthy. And it was breaking out. Now that I am back to using this product, my skin is heading back to normal...

Review 8 for Glycolic Acid 10% Moisturizer
Tired of Adult Acne!
-01.30.12
Quick Take: tightening, preventative, less blemishes, brighter skin
I'm 30 and tired of adult acne.
I've tried a lot of drug store products that didn't do a thing for me. Thanks to one of the associates at Sephora, I was introduced to this product.

Originally I was looking for a night cream. He suggested this one that works for cell turnover.
I've been using this for the past 3 months and my acne has significantly gone down.
It makes you red an sensitive the first few nights. After a couple weeks you will see the difference.

Review 9 for Glycolic Acid 10% Moisturizer
Amazing! Great sensitive alternative for mild acne
-01.30.12
Quick Take: dimishes fine lines
This product is amazing. I have sensitive, acne-prone skin, that is dry. I was afraid to try this because it had oil in it; however, it is the best thing I've ever used. Within a week my skin started clearing up and looked bright and healthy.
I do notice that my skin goes a little red after I put it on, and lasts about 20mins. Another thing I noticed and was told was that after about 8 weeks you need to take a break from the product (for a couple of weeks) because it doesn't work as great as it did at the beginning.
Also, if you are using this for acne; my skin just has mild amounts, if you have a medium amount, my family found benzoyl peroxide to provide amazing result (just check to make sure you are allergic to it like me)

Review 10 for Glycolic Acid 10% Moisturizer
Lifesaver
-01.20.12
Quick Take: preventative, exfoliating
I usually use this in the summer, because it helps me when I get a little oilier. But more recently, I have had a pretty intense chemical burn. I basically just used an oil free moisturizer but then a ton of dead skin started surfacing. This took care of it within two days. Love it.

Exactly what I wanted!

Quick Take: dimishes fine lines
I needed to smooth and moisturize my skin after using a specific night powder for two weeks that dried out my skin. This Roth product worked within days!

Review 13 for Glycolic Acid 10% Moisturizer
excellent but no good for pregnancy
-11.19.11
Quick Take: dimishes fine lines, lightens acne scaring
within a few days my redness and acne scars were improving but the downfall was i had to return it.
Glycolic is safe during pregnancy but not Retinyl Palmitate. Sephora.com doesnt list this ingredient online. Thankfully I took a second look at the ingredients a few days into using the product

Review 14 for Glycolic Acid 10% Moisturizer
can't live without it
-11.16.11
Quick Take: dimishes fine lines
This moisturizer is a miracle for my main skin concerns - oily skin and the appearance of fine lines. I was surprised to feel the hydration literally all day. My skin appears more luminous and even-toned. It is a staple in the skin-care regime - first I apply a serum, then this little baby, then my sunscreen. Yes a single product would be convenient but seriously - this allows me to change my sunscreen based on what I plan on doing out of doors. The cost is up there, but despite daily use I think this is gonna last me a year at least. Try it!

Review 15 for Glycolic Acid 10% Moisturizer
I can feel it working!
-11.15.11
The bad: this is quite thick and heavy feeling to me and takes a while to absorb into my skin so I have to take that into account if I use it in the morning. That being said...The good: I am 50 and have a few lines creeping in and this seems to make them somewhat less so, particularly on my forehead. It also appears to be smoothing out the enlarged pores on my forehead. Maybe its me but they don't look as "deep" to me. ALSO, I have acne breakouts and this stuff really helps a LOT!! I used an another product that I received as a deluxe sample which was like a magic wand but is unfortunately 62.00 per ounce. Ouch. I searched for a moisturizer with glycolic acid ( the key ingredient in the other one) and found this. I decided to give it a try as the price is quite reasonable. I'm so glad I did. There is a tingly sensation when it hits a blemish but very soothing on the rest of my skin. This is good stuff.

Quick Take: dimishes fine lines, tightening
This moisturizer is the best i've tried so far. It did dry my skin the first three days of use, but it works perfectly now. Great for oily/combination skin!

Review 18 for Glycolic Acid 10% Moisturizer
Try it!
-10.24.11
Quick Take: tightening, preventative, very moisturizing
I use this product about 5 days a week as my nighttime moisturizer. I wanted a product that chemically exfoliates to give a more even result than using a scrub. Every time I use it I can feel it working. It tingles a bit, but it's worth it. My skin is so even, soft, and smooth. And a bonus is in the way it's packaged. Because it's in a tube (as opposed to a jar that exposes products to air and light), keeps the active ingredients stable and able to exfoliate as it claims. I'm only 28, so I have very few fine lines. I wouldn't say I have any less since using this product. I'm hopeful that I'm being preventative because I honestly have a hard time believing wrinkles can magically disappear with one product.

Impressive!

Quick Take: reduces oil and makes pores smaller
I love this product. I thought it would irritate my skin since I have very sensitive skin but I had no allergic reaction to it at all and my skin looks refined, less oily and my pores seem to look smaller. Not expensive compared to other products I have tried in the past that didn't quite give the same good results.
