Walgreens Alpha Hydroxy Face Cream

Walgreens Alpha Hydroxy Face Cream
This face cream is amazing and is only $8.00 for a 4 oz tub.  Alpha hydroxy acid acts as an exfoilant and is not as abrasive as some face scrubs.  I have been using this for a few weeks and it is working great.  My skin is smoother and more bright.  However, my skin is a little drier in some areas, but it is not severe and a little moisturizer takes care of the problem.  I was expecting this product to irritate my eczema, but it has not.  *Be warned, you will likely experience some stinging when applied, but that is normal.*  Also, it is extremely important to wear sunscreen or avoid the sun as this product increases skin's sensitivity for a week after use begins.  I apply this after cleansing at night and use it every other night, and I have no problems whatsoever.  There is no strange odor and the consistency is thin, but not runny.  It absorbs fairly quickly, too.  This face cream is 8% of alpha hydroxy acid (or glycolic acid) in 70% solution.  I love this product and will continue using it.
