I know futurederm. com is not responsible for this, but they are not the same people. I and my friends studied and studied this pic, with special photo equipment. That said... I used Mama Lotion and did not have that bad of hyperpigmentatin, and it didn't even come close to the results this woman got. I am not saying it doesn't work, I am saying I used it for 7 months, and didn't get those results. I did not have any problems using it, I follow directions to the letter. I just didn't get the results as others claim they have gotten. The cost was outrageous for such a small amount, and the results were minimal. I won't waste my money on it again.

It would be great to see a review of this new product, I think that it will work much better for people who were experiencing excessive peeling.

I did have to have a break from it since I decided to use more than the prescribed application of once or twice a week when first starting out. The fact that I was using Retin A about thesame time (though not in conjunction)also probably didn't help my poor face (which peeled and felt very raw). My face has since recovered so I'm back to using it again. The stinging is still there but it's very mild. As for results, the texture of my face has improved significantly (very smooth indeed),my pores do appear reduced and I break out less. However, it is still early days and I'm hoping and yet to experience dramatic results on my fine lines and acne scars. I’ve been using this product for a month now.

I can't believe how fast the woman got more even skin in four weeks. Though this lotion seems promising, I think my skin would be too sensitive for this. I used to apply Retin-A 0.1% and it made my skin peel and red. Then, I switched to Differin, which is supposedly gentler. After seven weeks, I still experience redness and peeling. My face would probably look like a tomato if I used MaMa Lotion. Wow! I can’t believe how fast the woman got more even skin in four weeks.

As someone with super sensative skin, I'm hesitant to try this. I peel bad enough with Skinceuticals Retinal 1.0, and after reading the commenter reviews, I think I'll wait on this one. Hm.

I believe they just exfoliate the top surface layer and may even stimulate the production of collagen and glycosaminoglycans (skins own moisturizers). If you want to add a lactic acid cleanser, I just started using Belli's Acne Clearing Facial Wash. It's a product line for pregnant women, but I'm a guy and use it. Really gentle but effective, and smells like lemon :) I just leave it on 1-2 minutes before jumping into the shower in the morning. Maybe something to try.
