Need a new mask or AHA product

[erica_1020]

I previously used Clinique Total turnaround but looking for something different for maybe 2x per week after moisturizer at night with AHA

I am also looking for a mask can be low or high end Queen Helens mint mask is too drying for me although I feel it works at clearing pores.

I have normal to dry skin

Alpha Hydroxy and Kiss My Face have products with AHA. You can find them at drugstores or healthfood stores. Higher end Mario Badescu also has a good one - AHA and Ceramide Moisturizer Mario Badescu :: A.H.A. & Ceramide Moisturizer I don't use masks that much so can't recommend a good one. Personally I find at home microdermabrasion does more. I use this Epidermx stuff and it's fantastic for making my skin tone so beautiful, clear and even Epidermx II Microdermabrasion Pro-Treatment

Thanks I will look into those

I have heard Alpha Hydrox is super awesome and it is only $13.00. A lot of more expensive AHAs don't have the proper pH for the AHA to be effective

for mask: Origins Drink Up is sweet, I have normal to dry skin as well

I have used Mario Badescu products before and they all seem to be formulated for oilier skin and very drying, i wouldn't recommend if you have normal/dry skin. For that patricular AHA it says it is better for oilier skins anyway

Hope that helps!

Hi Erica,

I use the Total Turnaround Concentrate 2x a day and the Visible Skin Renewer two times a week and I love it. I tried the alpha hydrox and my skin was very mad at me!!! I had a horrible reaction to it, it made my skin beet red and broke me out horribly. I gave it two weeks and I finally gave up.

I have sensitive skin though. Just be careful.

to infuse moisture without making skin oily i like dermalogica skin hydrating mask. i use it in my services and it makes my clients' skin dewy and fresh! i follow with aveeno skin bright mositurizer.

Hi Erica,

I'm wondering if you should have used this masque of Queen Helene's:

Vitamin C and Honey Peel Off Masque - 6 oz. tube

Pure wholesome honey to help replace lost moisture, combined with the well know antioxidant benefits of Vitamin C, in an easy to use Peel Off Masque.

This isn't a mask, but I use this a couple times a week and every time my skin is smoother, brighter, and more even, so I highly recommend it: MD Skincare: Dr. Dennis Gross MD Skin Care & Alpha Beta Peels at Sephora.com.

According to sephora, the Juice Beauty Green Apple Nutrient Mask also has AHAs in it, and while I've never tried this specifically, I like a lot of other Juice products, so give it a try.
