Reviva Labs 10 Percent Glycolic Acid Cream, 42g

This product is PERFECT. Really you will see a difference in your skin. Problem is it's very small so probably last you a month if you use it sparingly

First time I ordered this cream from different seller. It worked so well on my skin so I ordered it second time from seller M.A.Y store.The cream I applied last night and immediately I realised it's different. Not effective at all. Seller gave me fake product.Please avoid wasting money on such sellers who fools buyer.

Dnt go for this product . Its itching and burning .

Pathetic it burnet my skin

So I mostly bought this because of blackheads on my chin area, I have a comedone extractor but I would go a little overboard and cause some redness/damage and I wasn't really solving the issue so I started looking into glycolic acid and salicylic acid. First salicylic acid didn't do crap and my first experience with glycolic acid was Mario Badescu 3% glycolic acid which also didn't really help. I'm not experienced with peels so I wanted something in between wimpy glycolic acid and peel your face off glycolic acid. Before this product I did not start with the 5% cream that the company recommends and I hadn't used the 3% glycolic acid in a while so my skin definitely wasnt use to any type of acid, I also have pretty sensitive skin but have had no problems using this cream. I started using the cream only on my chin every other day but was super surprised by the results that I decided to use it on most of my face minus eye area and my nose. You guys this is so amazing! My skin is so soft and vibrant! I used to use a specialty acne cream every night but since I have been using this just every other day my skin has been so clear and even though I still have blackheads they are definitely less and that's only with using it a handful of times! My routine for this is just to wash my face, tone and then put the cream on, I don't top it with a moisturizer because it actually is quite moisturizing on its own and I get a little too oily in my T zone when I use a moisturizer in addition. The cream does sting somewhat but that dissipates quickly! I can see this being a staple in my skincare for the rest of my life and at such a great price too!

I had always had a spot or two on my face but once I hit my early twenties I suddenly found my skin a battleground strewn with every type of acne you can imagine. I had white heads, I had black heads, I had papules and pustules, and I had cystic acne. All of this around the jaw and chin like a damn beard of pimply shame. It got to the point where I hated looking in the mirror and constantly considered darker thoughts because how could I live like this? I was afraid to go bare skin at the beach, camping was a nightmare, I hated taking my makeup off at the end of the day and I never wanted my husband to see my bare face. Even if I had ONE day where I didn't have an active break out, I had horrendous hyperpigmentation and since I am extremely fair, it was really obvious.Add to that the damn quest to find something, anything to calm my persistent hormonal acne. I tried birth control, I tried antibiotics, sulfur washes, prescription creams, and finally accutane. NOTHING. NOTHING WORKED.About a month ago I stumbled upon this product and read the reviews and thought "Well... Why not?" In a MONTH my acne was gone... It took care of everything. You know those stubborn flesh colored bumps that you can't squeeze and seem to never go away? They were gone. I am still amazed at how much I like my skin. I still have a lot of scarring but everything is finally healing and I'd much rather deal with a few scars than a million angry bumps.So this product does have a bit of a burning sensation but it's not going to give you a chemical burn, you kind of just have to deal with it until the tingling subsides which lasts maybe a few minutes. I use this after I thoroughly cleanse my face of makeup. I use an oil cleanser for makeup mostly around my eyes then I use a gentle wash to remove the oil and remaining foundation. After that I use the ROC resurfacing disks every other day which you can pick up for about 10 bucks at the drug store. I have completely stopped using any sort of exfoliating product with beads or nuts or any of that crap because they just irritated my skin. I find that the ROC pads gently exfoliate and really get rid of dead skin cells. After that I put the glycolic cream on and if I feel that my skin needs extra hydration I'll put on a night cream. That's it. With the exception of the gylcolic cream, you can get everything else from the drug store for under 10 bucks. In the morning I wash with a gentle wash again and then put on sun screen.That's it. My acne is gone and my skin is now fairly normal (it use to be very oily). I'm not at the point where I would go out without foundation and concealer but the topography of my face is smooth and I'm using far less products to cover up my skin. I'm hoping that the hyperpigmentation (which is also benefiting from this cream) will be gone by summer so I can just enjoy a light, fresh face.If you are thinking about getting this product, just try it. For less than 20 bucks it might completely change your skin. If not, I really hope you find your holy grail product someday because I've been where you're at and I know how it feels.

I purchased this 10% glycolic cream after a very negative experience with using a prescribed hydroquinone to lighten dark marks on my face. Instead of it lightening the marks, the hydroquinone burned me and left me with darker, nearly black marks on my dark brown skin. Needless to say, I was devastated and without hope. I unconvincingly had to conceal the marks every day and felt that I would live that way for the rest of my life. The skin even scarred and was rough and bumpy making it look even worse under makeup. I began researching TCA chemical peels but was put off by the downtime, excessive peeling, and risks factors for women of color. I knew I wanted something much gentler but effective, and was willing to try anything. One week of using this glycolic cream has already given me so much hope! After applying this for 3 consecutive days, my black marks have lightened by at least 15% and have completely smoothed out, removing the rough bumpy scars left by the hydroquinone burns! My skin did peel. I can't believe it! This stuff is very powerful..and with that said, depending on HOW you use this cream, it can significantly improve your skin or permanently damage it. That brings me to my #1 gripe about this product-It comes with very limited instructions. There are definite DONT'S that should be followed when using this product and I shouldn't have to read through \ reviews to find out what to do and what not to do. While I am very pleased with my initial results of lightening my hyperpigmentation, I came very close to burning my face in other spots! This says to apply it 2-3 days, but I does not say that you SHOULD NOT apply this every day consecutively! DO NOT apply this for 2 or 3 days without taking a break between applications! DO NOT over apply (i.e., apply a layer, let the product dry, then apply another layer). The more you apply the more sensitive your skin becomes and the more likely you will burn yourself which is what nearly happed to me. If you feel anything more then a tingle/slight sting NEUTRALIZE IT IMMEDIATELY! This was my mistake. I took the "burning" feeling in my cheeks as "tingling/stinging" and it was not. If you have to wince, if you think "ouch", or have to fan your skin...it is burning! Stop what you are doing and neutralize with water and baking soda. Instead of doing this, I woke up the next morning with a huge black scab on my left cheek and was horrified! I immediately stopped applying the product and thank god it all peeled off within a few days. But I have been left with some light spots in those areas at this time. I'm hopeful they will darken back up, but it could be unlikely. However, I prefer slightly light spots to dark hyperpigmentation, so I am relieved at this point. Even if you are dark skinned/African American you will have to wear an SPF every single day once you begin using this product, otherwise, your spots will darken back up. Aside from the improvement to my hyperpigmentation, my overall completion improved after those few uses. A friend even commented on how good my foundation looked when I wasn't wearing any. I'm still giving my skin a few days to heel from my scare, but I do plan on continuing to use this product. I only intend on using it twice a week with a day or two in between, however, I am going to avoid those sensitive spots. I am anxious to see how my hyperpigmentation will improve further and I am so grateful for this product. I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel!P.S. I am not a person to write reviews but wanted to share my experience with others in similar situations looking for a solution to their skin problems.

This is the second time that I have purchase. The quality is fantastic. I have tried so many exfoliating creams, and this is one of the best!

This is a must have with strong retinols because it helps with exfoliation. This is the second time I purchased this product and it definitely won’t be the last.
