Skin Doctors Radiance & Renew | Skin Resurfacing Cream | 50ml

I had perfect skin all through my teens but had bad acne in my early 20's which seriously dented my confidence. My twin sister also suffered with it at exactly the same time. However, she was given Roaccutane by the doctor to clear it up, but for some reason they wouldn't give it to me. How unfair is that?? So her acne completely cleared up leaving no scars, whereas I was left (with a face full of acne) to fend for myself and spend money on creams and lotions that I had no idea would work or not. The doctors didn't have a clue either (I saw a few different doctors). The only advice they could give was the usual "wash your face, drink plenty of fluids, get regular excercise, eat sensibly", always assuming that you don't do any of those things and that they are the main contributors of acne. Sure these things might help, but they won't cure it!I'm actually glad now that they couldn't help because as a result I became very interested in skin care and I think it has really paid off. I first discovered Salicylic Acid and Glycolic Acid, and using face creams combining both of these, my acne eventually cleared up (which took about 1 - 2 years to go completely - you can't expect results overnight!). But wanting to next deal with the scars it left, the occasional breakout and the first signs of ageing as I approach 30, I did some investigating for a cream that could do a bit more. I came across Skin Doctors Gamma Hydroxy which contained more than just Salicylic and Glycolic acids, so I decided to give it a shot. I have been using it for almost a year now and I use it all over my face. My skin is now so smooth, I hardly ever get breakouts any my acne scars have reduced significantly. I also noticed that my skin always looks really plump! I am 28 now, but have been told by 3 different people in the last few months that I look 19! My skin appears to be wrinkle-free and I think this may be down to the fact that this cream also contains Hyaluronic Acid (disguised under the name 'Sodium Hyaluronate') which is excellent for hydration and plumping up skin. I don't know why this isn't mentioned in the product description, because if I'd known from the start that it contained Hyaluronic Acid, I would have bought a lot more of this stuff!!I think that Gamma Hydroxy provides a great base for foundation (which I still wear because I like the flawless look). I feel it acts like a primer (if used everyday for a number of weeks as it reduces wrinkles). My foundation just glides on as a result. I also find the cream is a great moisturiser. I tried some horrible creams in the past (also containing AHA's & BHA's) for acne/acne scarring that just dried my face out and made me look worse (although this may be down to the fact that skin is more irritable when suffering with acne). But this cream is so great at balancing moisture levels, my face is never dry and always feels comfortable. It also smells nice. I can't see myself ever using any other face cream as this stuff does so much for spots, pore size, wrinkles and moisturising! It seems to take care of everything. I'm coming to the end of my current pot and I'm getting a bit anxious that it's running out!!! Will be buying more asap!! I should also mention that I do use Skin Doctors Retanew cream twice a week as well, which is a delight to use as it's so soft. Maybe my results are a combination of using both creams? Give them a go!

Had to write a review on this cream. I finished my second pot and I just love the product. Skin doctors I have found to be expensive but as Amazon were offering it at a very good price I thought Id give it a go. After a few months of using I have noticed my skin texture smoother and not as dry. Also a couple of constant pimples I had on my cheak bone are all but gone. Skin surface feels softer and smoother - I'm 43 and found my skin to be less hydrated as Ive got older and change in texture. It tingles on the skin when you first use it. Its a bit of an odd sensation but not uncomfortable.Ive found your better waiting around 5 mins before applying makeup to let it sink in properly. Also, just to mention one other reviewer said she suffered with white spots when shes used this product - I did too, around my nose but kept going with it and the white spots did eventually go after about 3 weeks. I have used a new cleansing product but not as consistant as this cream which I used twice a day. I think the cream has made quite a differnce to my skin. Not for problems like open pores but certainly for texture and skin surface. Very happy with the result to the point that Ive bought skin doctors eye cream and the Superfacelift cream (one of skin doctors most expensive creams) which I only started using this week! I have noticed on Amazon that reviews of the hand cream looks good so its on the wish list even though its £20.Great product for me certainly worth the money. Quick mention to Amazon for a prompt delivery as always and a fantastic service.

I dont usually write reviews, but i didnt want to turn this one down because this is a product people have to be a little sensible with. First of all i have to say this product does what it says, but alot of people are not really familiar with skin resurfacing. i used this product on my face during a time when i had a lot of facial hair, after getting a haircut i saw the difference it had made to my face and i was frightened. this stuff is reallly strong and the results show in only a matter of time, i want to warn any new buyers to apply it evenly and check the area very closely to see the progress so you can control the opperation. This product is fantastic tho, if you realise it has been spreaded unevenly and some areas look more refined than others its not too serious because your skin cells grow all the time and in a matter of days the area will look leveled again but this time much more healthier. Thats one of my favorite features because it removes dead skin cells and the new ones are always on their way.This product is fantastic, of course we could all say that but i think it really depends on your skin type and the condition you want to care for, for those who have unevenly pigmented skin of a black negrero shade, like myself you will benift greately. sensitivity doesnt really matter as long as you allow your skin to become use to the cream. what you wanna do is familiarise yourself with it, see and feel how it works on you body then make up your own routeen. This stuff is fantastic i could write more but it would be a long read, just keep an eye on what it is doing and work with it however you have to. Remember this removes dead cells and impurities from your skin so its not a bad idea to invest in a lotion that restores and nurtures skin health. Good luck, be carefull, check and experiment you will enjoy it.
