Mama lotion plus peels??

[mowgli]

Hi all!

ive been using mama lotion for the past week or so, havent really seen any great effects, if anything its making my skin duller, and my spots seem to be more persistent!!

I think Ill keep using this a while longer, since this may be the 'purging' that some people talk about - but does anyone know if its possible to use glycolic peels too? I use mama lotion every other day, and my skin was starting to look really fresh with the routine that I was on before the mama lotion...i know, if it ain't broke, dont fix it!!

I don't the answer to your question, but I'm glad you are keeping us posted...

well i don't think its great to use mama's lotion every day as it leaves skin looking kinda beat up. I found it best to use every 4-5 days.

Glycolic Peels didn't help me much but the lactic acid ones help majorly when done once a week. It fades my red marks more than anything.

i'm still using the mama lotion 3 to 4 times a week and my skin still loves this stuff. i think that i'm continuing to see good results with this product. i use lactic acid maybe once a week. i think glycolic acid is a bit stronger than both the mama lotion and lactic acid, so i'd be careful. over exfoliation can lead to problems with your skin in the future. if the product isn't giving you the desired result, i'd take a break! jmho~

im interested in using mama lotion after reading all the reviews on it

Hmm, i stopped using mama lotion - it just wasnt working for me, it kinda hardened my skin and spots were more persistent for me, so I went back to my old routine plus a few extras..

so now I do glycolic peels twice a week, epidermx microderambrasion every night and camellia oil or vaseline to moisturise, been working great for me for the past few months (touch wood)!

But I would recommend you get a couple of samples to try out the mama lotion first since others have got some good results with this..

what is mama lotion? never heard of it

 

[belleV81]

ok i got my samples and started using it today. so when should i expect results? i know they keep saying don't expect anything over night. upon using it, i wasn't sure how much i should use,, but was told if used again the next day, you should see peeling the day after so its best to use every other day? i'm confused?!

used a sample of mama lotion. and within 24 hours...5++ cystic pimples appeared!

beware.

i broke out when i first started using it as well, and my skin had been acting up for almost a month prior to that. either way, i chalked it up to the purging process. lol, these days if a new product breaks me out, i almost take it as a positive sign and that it's going deep enough to pull the nasties out fast.

anyway, to answer belleV81: it's recommended to start using it every other day since it can cause excessive peeling if you jump right into using every day. you want to ease your skin into it, or the aggravation could make it worse than better.

Where do you find the epidermx? Is is safe for every night? I used Murad AHA/BHA exfoliant daily.

I ordered the epidermx from goldportbeauty.com. I use it every night and its fine, it makes my skin baby soft. But then I am also rabid about using a high SPF sunscreen everyday so if you are planning on using this, I wouldnt use it everynight unless you were diligent about sunscreen too...
