This is fantastic for keeping skin clear and undoing sun damage. I have fine textured skin with freckles and a few age spots. I have the occasional breakout also and this helps with everything! It has reduced my fine lines and I am highly satisfied. My husband and I run a medispa and I could use anything I wanted but this works gently but effectively. Ladies do not hesitate to add this to your nightly skin care a couple of times per week.

I am so excited about this product. I received a small sample with an order I placed earlier. I tried it and could tell a difference the very next day.It is awesome! I've struggled with acne most of my life. This is the best product I have ever found for my skin. I let my mom try it and she loves it also.Thanks for such a great product.

This product is one of the best, it controls acne breakouts and evens out you skin tones too!! Light scarring from the past even fades away . I was so impressed with the results , after only two months, I even recommended it to two friends and they were equally impressed!!I've tried so many products and been so frustrated, it's great to know that some things do work!! For those reviews that were unfavorable, you must use it correctly and consistently, one week or one month won't be the true test of how well it can work for you!! Again it's great and I'm so glad that skincarerx is here not only for MaMa lotion, but for Obagi too!! My skin has never looked as great!!!!!!Thank you

I am an African American with sensitive, oily skin. I am 49 years old. MaMa lotion has worked so well. The texture of my skin has improved with just two weeks of use. I think that this is one of the best kept secrets. My daughter in Dallas, Texas turned me on to this incredible product. Not only does my skin look clearer, but it is less oily and more radiant. As some reviewers indicated, I too experience some tingling when first applied, but it subsides very quickly.

I am 57 years old and have had skin problems since I was about 14 years old. I have very oily skin, white heads, black heads, etc. I have been to many skin doctors, used many prescription and non prescription products. I have been to many skin clinics and have had many expensive facials. None of these methods or products have worked. I found this web site (SkinCareRX) looking for Retin-A. I used the Green Creams and Retin-A for about 3 months and was looking for some stronger Retin-A Gel when someone at SkinCareRX recommended the MaMa Lotion to me. I at first didn't take the recommendation and continued another month on Retin-A without really the results I thought I should get. Therefore I decided to try this MaMa Lotion. What a great product. When I woke up in the morning my skin didn't feel oily as it usually does. My skin is such that I am able to use this product every night. After a week using this product my skin starting feeling smoother. I have been using this product for about 6 weeks now and have not had any breakouts. In the past I would break out here and there and then I would have white heads on my nose area and under the eye area. Since using this product that condition has gone away. I don't write reviews very often and mine is not to promote the product or advertise SkinCareRX but only to pass my experience with this product and to help someone else like it has helped me. I am looking forward to see what kind of results I will get after using this product for 12 months. Give it a try, it's only $40+ to see if it works for you. I read a lot of the reviews on this product and it looks like it has helped more people than not.

I'm starting my third bottle of Mama lotion and am EXTREMELY PLEASED with the results I've witnessed over the last year. As previous reviewers already mentioned, it takes a lot of time, diligence, consistency, and above all patience before you'll start to see results.
I had moderate acne scarring (pitted scars, depressed fibrotic scars, hyper-pigmentation...you get the picture), and in particular, one huge boxcar scar in the middle of my lip that bothered me for years. Mama lotion, however, took care of all of that. My skin has gotten better week by week, and that huge boxcar is nearly gone. I can't emphasize enough how well this thing works. Unlike others with sensitive skin, I'm actually able to use it every night following a thorough exfoliation with Clearasil Ultra cleansing pads. I find the beta-hydroxy acid in the Clearasil does a good job of getting rid of the top layer of dead skin, preparing it for the alpha-hydroxy acid combo in Mama which I apply afterwards. This may not work for those with sensitive skin, but if you're willing to give it a try, I'd highly suggest it! I'll continue to use Mama for the next year and can't imagine how my skin will look like in yet another 12 months.

O.k, i just finished my second bottle of mama lotion. i have to say it is the best acne scar treatment i have ever used. I have a condition that makes me break out and b4 i got diagnosed and treated, my whole face was covered with acne- serious acne. They left scars all over my face. I am an Africa America but i am not really dark in complexion so my whole face was spotty. I was ashame to go outside because my face was very horrible. And then i found this website and read all the reviews on MAMA lotion and decided to give it a try. It helped my face a lot. I still have to use make up to cover up but my face is a lot better ( like 80% better than before). The only problem now is i started having fine lines around my mouth and i am only 23. MaMa did not help for the fine lines so i advise any one using this to have a very good moisturizer. I am going to move on from Mama because it seems like it stop working on the scars but i will certainly have a reserve just in case. I just discovered another product online just like i discovered Mama.I will advise any one who has second thoughts about buying Mama to go ahead and try it coz it really works.

I am now ordering my second bottle of MaMa lotion. I was almost completely finished with my first bottle before my skin started to respond. I am African-American with a lot of hyper-pigmentation. I am also an esthetician and I have tried a lot of products. I used MaMa for a very long time before it began to peel of the layers of pigmented skin and now my skin is looking great. So remember the skin condition you are trying to correct didn't happen overnight and it is not likely to go away in two or three weeks. Be patient as I learned, "good things really do come to those who wait!"

Mama lotion & laser resurfacing

I recently had the NEW (pro-fractional) laser treatment, for acne scarring, done by Dr. Jason N. Posner, M.D. Boca Raton, FL. A pioneer in lasers and prominent plastic surgeon who teaches his techniques nationally and is a published author. I am very pleased to say that he is now AWARE of the effects of mama lotion on my skin. Needless to say, he and his staff of NATIONALLY recognized professionals are AMAZED at my final results. After my post laser follow-up today, it appears he is very interested in continuing to learn more about the benefits of Malic & Mandelic acids. I would not be suprised to see Mama become part of his product protocol at some point. As you will read my other review, a little further down...no doubt that a world renowned plastic surgeon recognizing the benefits of this product.. is no doubt the HIGHEST compliment that can be paid to MAMA LOTION!

Professional sufferer of acne, keloids and depressed acne scars that I started injecting in 1987. Throw in about 20 years of (PHENOL) chemical peels with no anestetic...Ever have acid put on your face because you hated your scars so much that it was less painful to take the pain? My father suffered from sebborah dermatitis..a form of eczema. No, mama will never clear up the deep scars..but it will greatly improve superficial scarring, large pores and even out skin tone and pigmentation in general. From a medical point of view, if you use it for at least 1 year..it will help you remodel "COLLAGEN" which is the goal you are all seeking (whether you know it or not). What blew me away is that I was able to give up using topical corticosteriods prescription (creams) for my sebborah..which can invade your skin as well as scalp..(anywhere your hair grows) Anytime YOU CAN FIND an over the counter product like MAMA. That JUST happens to cost "PEANUTS" COMPARED TO WHATS OUT THERE, IT'S GOING TO BE WORTH A TRY. For less than $40.00 with a discount code, skin care RX will ship at NO CHARGE. You will recieve your product promptly and they will give u 10% on all future orders. I am a loyal customer for over 2 years now..yes, my seborrah flares up...but mama can quickly be used as a spot treatment..and the redness quickly disapates..everyone on this site has something in common...a SKIN PROBLEM. Or we would not be going through this little trip to h-ll and back..Mama is the focal point I base all my other treatments on..you may have to experiment..use moisturizers, Alpa lipoic acids..and take other measures... but!!!! Mama for less then $40.00 is the best kept secret on the market today...the key is too keep learning...and never giving up hope that you can correct the things you dislike most about your skin!! For some it has become a life long battle like myself... I'll turn 50 this August..but people will never take me for any older than 35..that's what makes the pain worth it! I will help anyone with info that wants to help themselves!! Feel free to contact me and good luck....keep fighting!

I'm not one for reviews, but this stuff WORKS! I've had stubborn acne forever (it seems) and acne scars (red marks that fade to brown spots). Mostly moderate acne with a few large ones every now and again. I've been using the MaMa lotion for about a month now, and my face is 95% clear! I do think the rest just needs a bit more time to finish working out but this stuff is incredible! I wash with Kinerase cleanser and then use the MaMa every night. If you're just starting with it, use every other night or as directed because it takes a bit of getting used to. In the morning I cleanse again and just use a moisturizer (Kinerase cream) with a spf15 lotion over top of it (proactiv). I don't even need foundation anymore; MaMa has faded my acne scars and freckles as well as clearing my skin; it's so nice! I've tried Proactiv, scrubs, masks and almost everything else (including Retin-A) and this is the only stuff that works with a minimum of irritation (you may experience some at first but mine went away within the week, now I have none except for when I put it on at night and then it just itches/stings for a minute). I say just try it; if you're like me you've tried everything else!

After reading most of the reviews, I decided to try it because of the AHA combination. I've used it for a little more than a week and I'm noticing how it is clearing up my skin. My face is smoother, my pores are smaller and I definitely look better (calmer). I'm an African woman with blotchy and uneven pygmentation. My acne scars are still visible but I'm confident what with time, I'll see some good results. I'm pleased that I did not have to go to see a dermatologist to get these results. I'll definitely keep this product in my skincare routine.

Works for my Back Acne

I've tried many expensive treatments but none worked until I used Mama Lotion. The only caveat is that it is an expensive treatment for back acne as the bottle lasted me 2 weeks worth of daily nightly treatments. But I will keep buying this lotion as my painful cystic acne disppeared within a week and right now I have clear skin except for the scars/hyperpigmention which have also lightened then before. I am very happy with results.

Initially I started using this product and did not see any wonderful results. Then I started back on the product with consistent use. So far it was worked wonders! I have been back and forth to many dermotologist and tried many types of treatments, even Fraxel, a very expensive tretment, over $2000.00; After the Fraxel I did not see much improvements. However, the MaMa lotion has done what nothing else has manage to succeed with, clearing up my Acne! I am loving it so far. I can only hope for continued success.I also use the NuCelle wash along with the Nucelle sunscreen w/30SPF and the Oil control lotion, I live in Kuwait where it gets extremely hot,and thus far my acne and oil seems to be under control.

I am a fair skinned, brown haired, blue eyed female of Irish decent. I have had the hardest time finding something that would even out my skin tone without breaking out my skin. Also, my skin would look so greasy from other nightly lotions I used. I absolutely LOVE MaMa Lotion. I am 45 years young and thanks to MaMa Lotion no one believes me and always ask to see my license to verify. I don't say that out of conceit, I say that out of gratitude to MaMa's Lotion. My skin tone has FINALLY evened out. My skin looks brighter and more toned. And, thankfully, I have noticed the fine lines on my face are gone!!! It would be great if there was a way to soak in MaMa Lotion from head to toe. :-)
Thanks a Ton MaMa!!

I really like this treatment. My skin takes to it very well, so I am able to use it every night; I allow it to soak in and dry, then follow it with a moisturizer. It has made my skin more radiant, softer and has begun to clear my acne. All I need to do now is find an equally effective day treatment, to prevent break-outs during the day, underneath occasional make-up. Suggestions? (My experience has shown that "wimpy" treatments containing 2% or less of Salicylic Acid or Benzoyl Peroxide don't do their job.)

I came to this site first to look for a retinol treatment but after reading the reviews for this I decided to give it a try, so I figured I should contribute with a review as well. I have been using this for about 6 months and it is the most valuable possession i own. I have suffered from humiliating acne for about 10 years and now within about the last 4 years the scars and large pores have been catching up to me as well. The first morning after I used this all of my blackheads disappeared OVERNIGHT and have never returned. My red blotchy scars are 85% gone and I only use it about twice a week, I am only about 3/4 through my first bottle after about 6 months. On the days after I use it I have no mid day or even end of the day oiliness what so ever. Needless to say my breakouts are completely gone, i think ive had 3 pimples since i started using this. I did peel a little if i use it less than 2 days apart but a little apricot scrub and its all gone. I use no other products besides plain dove cleanser and plain fragrance-free neutrogena moisturizer. I'm in love! I know its not going to work the same for everyone, but it is definitely worth a try.

I have NOT tried this product but I am an African American 51 yo female who would like to brighten the back of my neck. I have a "strip" of hyperpigmentation on the back of my neck. I have tried all kinds of products with the last being TriLuma which made my neck even darker! After several weeks I knew I needed to discontinue that. Has anyone tried using this product on your neck and if so, how did it work.

I have never written a review before, but I really appreciated reading all the reviews for Mama Lotion before I had even bought it. MaMa Lotion REALLY DOES WORK. I haven't used it on my face at all . . so I'm not sure how it helps with acne . . however, I am FOR SURE that it is a working product, period. I have dark knees and elbows and have always struggled to get rid of them. I have used MaMa to lighten my knees and elbows and it is definitely a MIRACLE! It started working after the first use! After a week, I could definitely see results. For me, SOMETHING is definitely better than NOTHING. So hopefully, it will continue to ring true! As many other reviewers said --- PATIENCE PATIENCE PATIENCE. By the way, I have also gotten my sister and mother hooked on this product! ENJOY!!

I've been using MaMa lotion for the past 5 or 6 months and let me tell you my pores are clearer than ever, and smaller! It's great for spot treating those stubborn break outs. Or use as an all over treatment a few times a week for smooth, even, clear skin

After one month of using Mama Lotion...My skin is starting to glow..my pores are smaller...dark marks have faded dramaticaly...my skin is softer...and the monthly breakout tried to come to surface but it just disappeared...I have been getting chemical peals for 10 years...and this product by far is the best treatment I have had..I also use Palmers cocoa butter to moisterize..and Palmer's brightning wipes...together everything is coming together...my dermatogist says my skin looks great...a couple of his patients told him that it's great for toning the skin...he's actually the one who told me to give it a try...I apply it on the entire face like 2 or 3 time a week..and I spot treat on the days I don't..the peeling is not as bad as I thought it would be...maybe it's because I've been getting chemical peels for so long now the peeling from those are so most worse...also Mama lotion brings those hidden pimples to surface which is great...and they really haven't left any marks if so they are so small...you can't really tell...so far I give this product a perfect 10...the best thing is...I don't have to really use foundation like I use to...It's great when your ready to cover up marks and they aren't there anymore...marks fade quickly and I'll be back next month with another review....P.S. I have an appointment with my dermatolgist on Tuesday...but I'm cancelling because I really don't need any type of treatment right now...

I have struggled with adult acne for over 3 years and NOTHING helped. I spent hundreds of dollars trying to find something that would at least lessen the intensity and frequency of my breakouts. I had very stubborn cystic acne and whiteheads. This product has helped immensely. I have been using it since September of 2007, and believe me, it does not work overnight. BUT it has worked. I still get pimples, but very infrequently which is great for me. I can't say Mama will work for everyone, but for me it has been a lifesaver. I have combo/oily skin so as long as I put a moisturizer on a half hour after application, drying was not an issue.
I tried Nucelle's lotion first and unfortunately was not impressed. Mama lotion just worked so much better for me. I hope this review helps someone!!

I am a woman of color and believe me I have tried almost every product out there for acne. Murad, Proactive, Obagi, Acne-Free, Neutrogena, Noxema...and the list goes on. I have been using MaMa Lotion for about a month now. I have seen a reduction in breakouts when I use the product as directed. Thankfully my skin is not sensitive to the product so starting this week I am going to kick it up a notch a try using it everyday rather than every other day. I follow the following regimen: I wash and tone with Nucelle Mandelic Cleanser and toner and I use a moisturizer from AMBI with 30 SPF and it is great. I have not experienced any peeling or skin irritation. My scarring has cleared a little not as much as I hoped for but it has only been a month so I am going to give it time. I hope this helps someone and I would definietly recommend trying this product, after all there is the 60 day money back gurantee... :-)

This products makes my skin SO smooth and soft. My skin looks brighter also. It helps heal blemishes and it has not caused any breakouts. I have only been using this product for 2 weeks and my skin looks so much better already. I have been using it on my chest also and it has made a big difference there. This definitely lives up to the hype!

After 15 years of suffering with hormone induced acne, and going through several dermatologists and the gamut of products to try to fight it, AHA, BHA, Benzoyl Peroxides, aspirin (acyclitic sp? acid) antibiotics, Retin A, etc.... I finally took the situation into my own hands and searched the internet for active ingrediants that I hadn't tried and ran into this product (mandelic and malic acids). I've been using Mama Lotion for over a year now and have nearly had NO Breakouts What So Ever. I have always been a skeptic and all I can say is This is a miracle product. I can not thank you enough. I've received more compliments in the last year than I have in my life.

I have been using MaMA Lotion for about 4 weeks now. The results are amazing! I have had acne damaged skin for 25+ years and my skin is so much improved in just 4 weeks. I have not had anything even close to a break out and my scarring is MUCH better. I still have some "deep" areas that will need professional attention, but overall I feel so much prettier. There were some warnings on the instructions about burning and peeling, but I experienced none of this and I have very sensitive skin and use the lotion everyday. I will use this product for the rest of my life! MaMa Lotion has really improved my confidence level.

I am have been troubled with acne, over 30 years. Like alot of women, I went from adolecent acne to adult acne, cysts that wouldn't go away. irritating my skin with products that promised to work, but didn't. I also have melasma to add to my woes. God has lead me to your product. I do no have the cysts, or adult acne breakouts anymore!, And my oily skin is under control now!
If I could find a product now that will heal my dermal melasma I will be "up town". Like I said my acne breakouts are gone. Thankyou, and may God bless you!

Makeup was harder to apply, but I don't think I waited long enough, so my fault. But it looked and felt so much better when it was on. I've never had smooth skin before and I noticed a difference almost immediately after using Mama. I got the sample but now I'll definitely order more. Just be sure to follow the directions and moisturize as needed.

I am a product junkie, so I am always happy to try something new. So, when I heard about MaMa lotion from one of my beauty boards, I just had to try it. However, the price was a bit scary - until someone told me that it lasts for months. I figured I would give it a try, and if it did not work, I could always get my money returned.
I also have acne, which never seems to go away. I may be lucky to have 2-3 days of clear skin, but they always come back. In addition to acne, I am mixed with Black & Puerto Rican, so I have hyperpigmentation here and there, and my acne scars stay for at least 6 months at a time.
I tried MaMa lotion, loved the burning sensation (means it's working!!), but hated the skin peeling. Now wait - I am happy that my skin peeled...it had to remove the dead surface skin. BUT, the peeling took a few days, and I spent a few hours scrubbing with a washcloth. Still a 5 star product though!!
One thing I have noticed. If I have a pimple, I just dab a small amount on it, and within 2-3 days, the pimple dries out. The skin also peels off (still a bit dark, but it lightens). I also get cystic pimples (HATE THEM!!), so I must make sure NOT to apply MaMa lotion on them. Have tried to apply the lotion to my cystic acne, and it took longer to heal. Just a warning for you all.
Overall - this product lasts forever...and please, after you apply the product, apply a good moisturizer after 5 minutes. Otherwise...the peeling is crazy. :-)

I don't think I ever written a product review, but I couldn't resist the opportunity to write about this product. I've been using is it since 1 Jan 08 and couldn't believe the results after just the first couple of weeks. Now I'm about 6 weeks into this stuff and I'm amazed at the difference it has made. I can ALMOST wear no makeup!!! After wearing make-up daily for nearly 20 yrs. All I can say is try it for yourself!! you won't be sorry. This stuff is serious....follow the directions I experienced less peeling when I did that. My hyperpigmentation is almost gone, not one pimple or blackhead (only initially)and my skin texture is near flawless. I truly can't say enough about this product.

MaMa LOTION IS FANTASTIC!

After several trips and over a year to a dermatologist and using his recommended daily prescriptions, nothing worked. If anything, my problems became worse if anything occured at all. I began using MaMa Lotion Jan. 1, 2008 every other day. Hyperpigmentation, dryness and scarring gave me reasons to be self-conscious. Makeup didn't even cover the problems. Today, Jan 30, 2008, my face looks fantastic. My complexion has cleared dramatically, feels supple and I am extremely pleased with the results. MaMa Lotion is the best product I have found. I saw my determatologist the last week of December and then Jan. 16. He believes his prescribed solutions is the result. I haven't had the heart to tell him I had discontinued his solutions and began using MaMa Lotion. I'll definetly recommend it. Rating this product with a "5"?? I give it a "10"
By the way, I am an African-American dark skinned woman and think that alternating the usage was best for my skin type, followed by a rich moisturizer and using the moisturizer daily.

I wanted something that was going to get rid of my acne scarring and after some careful research decided to give MaMa lotion a go. I wasn't sure if it really worked or was just hype but this stuff is truly amazing.After just a few weeks the indentations have disappeared and I am left with lovely smooth skin!!!!

I am the writer of the post directly under this one entitled 'Unhappy'.
Funny how things work out. As I said in the previous post, I don't want to give up on MaMa lotion, even if it's already been 2 months with no signs of positive results. After today, I'm definately NOT going to give up on MaMa lotion now, thanks to what just happened...
Last night, I did what I always do. I put some MaMa on two specific hyperpigmentation spots on my face. I noticed it burned a bit more than usual, upon application and in regards to the duration, and when I awoke this morning, the spots were darker---ALOT darker. I just chalked it up to MaMa's collection of disappointments to a suffring sista, until I started touching the area and noticed that the skin was very scaly.
I picked at one of the spots and let out a scream of delight as the "dark spot" peeled right off my skin, revealing perfectly colored skin underneath. Ditto for the second "dark spot".
I'm like, wow, how things do change. And quickly. I think it took this long (2 months) for MaMa to work in my skin, and the dark spots, while alarming at first, are the ingredients in MaMa pushing the darkened skin closer to the skin's surface, thus appearing "darker" than before. Once you see this, don't give up faith...maintain your regimen and the "dark spot" (i.e. hyperpigmented skin that is ready to be removed) can easily be peeled away manually, with exfoliation or while washing your face with a washcloth.
What a diffrence a day makes. Needlesstosay, I'm excited and will maintain my MaMa regimen...
Any other stories out there similar to mine???

I'm 42 years old, part asian, very oily skin, olive skin tone, on-going acne with scaring, hyperpigmentation mainly on cheek area. Believe me when I say I have been there and done that with counntless products from Epiquin and other presciption lightners,various skincare lines from Obagi to MD. Slight lightning,still loads of concealer to "hide",besides that, nothing helped with the oiliness.UNTIL NOW....purchased Nucelle products along with MAMA, put MAMA aside fearing not knowing what was working. Nucelle provided me immediate relief of oiliness with less clogging, slow but steady lightning of hyperpigmentation without any irritation. Ran out of Nucelle serum, brought the MAMA out and my results, so far, are getting better than ANYTHING I've tried. I currently use the nucelle line w/out the serum replacing it with MAMA. The Moisture Shine Control is key for my oily skin and works better than anything. I am no longer on harsh prescription topicals and no longer have to apply heavy concealer. Bottom line,MAMA with nucelle has hepled my acne, oily skin and melasma. Finally.

Perhaps I'm doing something wrong here.
I read all the reviews left on this site BEFORE purchasing the product, and opted to purchase because #1) I was out of resources (tried numerous products, including ProActive to NO avail) and #2) the VAST MAJORITY of reviews left on this site were exuberant in their love for MaMa lotion.
I've used the product for almost three months now, and have no significant changes in my hyperpigmentation. If anything, my skin looks a bit more wrinkly in the spots I put the lotion.
I eat healthy, drink lots of water, but still have hyperpigmentation...
Very unhappy. At first I was excited so I used MaMa every other day. Then I calmed down, stopped using it for a week because my skin became overly dry, and rectified it by applying shea butter on my face to rejuvenate and rehydrate my skin. The I used MaMa every three days, easy on the dosages.
That's been my routine thus far and I'm very disappointed with its "results". I've experienced NO peeling, and No lightning effects.
I don't want to give up though; I've suffered from acne -thus hyperpigmentation- since I was in 3rd grade, and I just made 25!!!
Any suggestions????

I bought (3) samples tubes of the MaMa Lotion and I have been using it now for 2 weeks. I have red marks on my face from picking with my acne pimples and they look very ugly and red. I have been hearing so much about MaMa Lotion that i wanted to give it a try. I can HONESTLY say that this worked for me within 2 weeks, I can see the marks fading away and I have not had any breakouts. I use this along with DDF Products which is great. The key to the great affects of the MaMa Lotion is to keep it on your face for 20 minutes without letting anything touch your face, let it soak into the skin. This Really Works and i will be buying a Full Bottle. Thank You for giving me my Confidence Back.

Im not sure this is working. January 15, 2008 will mark 3 months of mama lotion use. I used to use obagi and saw a HUGE improvement in 4 months time. So, im giving mama lotion til the end of february and if i see no change im going back on obagi. It seems for many mama lotion is STRONG, peels their skin, and works, and on their behalf, im rating this 4 stars, but for me? This does not peel my skin, it does not hurt when i put it on, maybe my skin is just resistant to it? Anyway, if mama lotion doesnt work for you, give obagi a try. I just wanted to try something cheaper

I am 34 years old and have been suffering from adult acne for over 10 years now. I've tried so many other products and have been using Pro-Active religiously for years, but nothing really helped with the acne. I started using Mama's Lotion about 4 weeks ago and my acne has almost completely gone away. I haven't had any excess dryness, peeling or stinging either (maybe because my skin was already used to the drying agents in Pro-Active). I use it every other night and am loving it!

I am 42 and have struggled with minor outbreaks (period, chocolate, nuts, stress) since puberty. Did not want to take oral meds or put on harsh acne treatments on my skin so just suffered along. THIS STUFF IS UNBELIEVABLE. Just had my period for the first time while on it and NOT A SINGLE PIMPLE! Ate tons of Christmas sweets and candy and NOT A SINGLE PIMPLE! I cannot believe it. It has been about 5 weeks that I am on it and my skin has not been this clear since age 12. I am not kidding! Amazing.

I have read a lot of these reviews. I am also a product junkie: have oily, large pored, blackheads, and cysts. Been on tazorac, differin, clyndamycin, accutane (3 x), used major drugstore brands and primarily use now expensive brands - love MD Forte, Topix...
I used a sample of mama lotion on an emerging cyst - and the next morning - it brought it to the surface, reduced the redness, and made it smaller - it basically sped up the natural process of the cyst. It also overnight reduced the pigmentation on old larger acne marks that I have been trying to get rid of with HQ.
This stuff will speed up the process of bringing CURRENTLY existing pimples and blocked pores to the surface, which were under surface. So it actually doesnt make it worse - it just speeds up the process of it erupting on your face. So with or without the lotion - they would have come eventually. Also, you should really not be using this on sensitive dry skin - ie the eyes area and the chest area - these places have little to know oil glands - you are asking for permanent damage. Dont do it. Having said that -I am going to be purchasing a full size product now. I am impressed.

Remember - this is NOT a moisturizer. It is a treatment!
All skin reacts differently to this lotion, so please give it time to notice long-term improvements. Also, adjust amount and frequency depending on your skin reaction.
Mature skin cells turn over more slowly than younger skin cells, so change will be gradual over time for older skin.
Plus, there is a dimishing effect after long-term use, meaning the difference of skin tone will be greater at the beginning of use, and then only small improvements will be noticed.
If you stop usage, skin will revert back to what is normal for your skin.
Lotion is great for spot treatment on blemishes.
I think it is better for normal/oily skin than dry/normal skin.
If you have dryer skin, after MaMa soaks in, add moisturizer.
Watch samples - they are not packaged in a stable environment and lotion may lose its potency. My samples were nothing compared to the actual bottled lotion. The bottled lotion is packaged correctly and feels 'stronger' than the samples, only because the samples are in a tube allowing air and light inside, rendering the ingredients almost useless.
Great investment for face for long-term. It has reduced melasma and wrinkles on my face. One tube lasts about six months.

I'm an Asian American with a pretty light skin tone. I don't have acne anymore, but I do have a few little breakouts here and there. I have some small pitted scars left from the acne which I just hate! Anyways, the lotion didn't make them go away. I noticed that they would make my scars look darker and more red one day, then my scars would look lighter another day. So it hasn't really worked for my scars. HOWEVER, I do like this lotion because it clears up most of my pimples. When I have a small pimple, I'll put it on, and the pimple will usually go away within 2-3 days, and it never "grows" any larger. Also, I've noticed that my pores have gotten smaller also, but they're still there. The only really bad thing is that I started getting a dry patch on my chin, so I stopped using the lotion for awhile. But now I've resumed using it because whenever I don't use it, I tend to get a few pimples here and there. Whenever I put it on, I usually only feel the tingle for about 3-4 seconds, then it's gone. It's not too bad anyways. Just don't use it when your skin's super sensitive!

I am an africian american female I had old acne spots and large cystic acne. I have been using this product along with Nucelle basic kit and all I keep getting is comments on how my skin looks wonderful. I use as directed and drink plenty of water and take a multi vitamin every 3 days. These product do what they say they will do you just have to follow the directions and always test to see what works for you. Thats what the doctors do

I received a tiny free sample of this lotion from an order 6 months ago and used it on a scar on my face from picking/scratching a break out. The next day it peeled right off with hardly any pinknes under it. A skincarerx rep called to see how I was doing with the products I ordered 6 months ago and I said wow what was that sample that you sent it was really good.
