LANCER RETEXTURIZING TREATMENT CREAM GLYCOLIC ACID 10X
Finally had the opportunity to try a product from Dr. Lancer (is he Kim K’s Dermatologist?). I’d read a bit about his ‘skincare diet’ philosophies, which seem actually quite healthy and logical (But NO FUN!). At any rate, it’s holiday party season in Canada and I have been binging on everything booze and sugar laden. Normally, I’m a pretty healthy eater, and I truly notice the effects of poor eating/too much sugar/too much vino on my skin.

THEY SAY:
This lightweight, moisturizing cream uses 10% glycolic acid and cell-function optimizers to help speed cell turnover, lighten discolorations, open pores, and enhance the effect of other treatments.
Initially apply once daily. If there is no irritation, applications can be increased to twice daily. Do not exceed two applications daily unless directed by a physician.

MY THOUGHTS:
This cream has a nice texture, thick like a balm… but it absorbs almost immediately. Skin is left feeling very hydrated. I hear THE HIRONS voice in my head every time a company makes a claim of ‘opening pores.’ “Pores are not doors!” This is a lovely, hydrating 10% strength glycolic acid product. I only used it at night, because I found the product balled up as I layered things over it. I don’t think it would ‘play nicely’ with makeup. It has a very light scent. The ingredients say there’s a touch of lavender oil, but to me it smelled like the wet wipes you get at greasy fried chicken joints. For an acid newbie, or someone who is sensitive to acid use, I think this product would be one I’d recommend. It’s incredibly gentle and hydrating and will not ‘make your face fall off.’ Retexturizing Treatment Cream with Glycolic Acid 10x is quite a lovely product that gently exfoliates while nourishing the skin. Myself, I am an old haggis…. a hardened user of acids. I require a little more ‘oomph’ with my acids! I want to look in the mirror in the morning and say “YAAAASSSSZZZZ!” I have a small sample, and have been using for a little over a week. I definitely notice small improvements in texture but wouldn't give up my Sunday Riley Good Genes for this.
