If the S&B is anything to go by, it's a miracle cure so I'm optimistic. Dying to try it. I have high hopes!

Yes,it is the liquid.i prefer the intensive night repair serum version though. It feels like a more refined version and still works beautifully if you put moisturisers etc on top of it.

You can't put anything on top of the liquid (or it won't work properly). It doesn't give me "wow" results like the serum but my skin is used to acids,you might find you get great results from it if you are new to acids.

Nooo..now you've given me another option to debate over!

I've been using acid toners and the Superdrug overnight glycolic for 6 weeks or so - am I still a newbie?

I don't find the Glycolic one does much, hence wanting to upgrade.

What is it please? I've never heard of this stuff, but certainly need some help!

SqueezyCheeseWeasel · 08/04/2015 12:30

What's your skin issue, creme?

Mainly red scarring from cystic acne last year but some pitting too. Still getting the odd spot here and there. Fine lines too, but less worried about those!

It's an overnight peel of sorts Bab. I always see it recommended on here.

Liquid gold should be good then.

It smarts a fair bit when you first put it on. Be prepared for that! I nearly washed it off in panic.

I've been using this AHA Souffle Which has similar ingredients and properties but quite a bit cheaper. It's brilliant. Really brilliant. My skin always used to be flaky, but not anymore. And the vast number of blackheads i had have reduced (although they've not been totally eliminated)

SouthWestmom · 08/04/2015 17:57

Can I use it just because I want to ditch the wrinkles? I have dry skin but no scarring etc?

SandInMySandwiches · 08/04/2015 19:38

Pickle, is 12% too potent if I have never used it before? Will I be able to go to work the next day, or will I look as though I fell asleep in the sun?

Clarabumps · 08/04/2015 19:38

Creme I've been using it since October and can see a difference in my skin texture. The smaller scars have reduced significantly and the big ones are looking better too but not as well as the small ones. I love LG. I bought the pack with the SPF 50 that QVC did a while ago. I use the SPF for the few days after I do it. not that I need it as I'm in Scotland and there's not been sun here for MONTHS

Thanks everyone! I've ordered it so I should have it by the weekend. Excited! Grin Grin

It is a game changer product Creme. I'm excited for you. It's like Acne Scars Anonymous here. I must go back to the shit skin thread and see whats happening there.

SqueezyCheeseWeasel · 09/04/2015 10:42

Noeuf, it will improve the texture of your skin and the general appearance of fine lines. It won't magic wrinkles away but if you use it in conjunction with a hydrating serum (the morning after and on nights you don't use liquid gold) you should see as much improvement as is possible with topical products.

If they are genuine wrinkles and not fine lines to do with dehydration, retinoids might be the way to go. Look for good quality Retinol/vitamin A serums/treatments. Of course, all this stuff can only improve their appearance, the only way to get rid of wrinkles once you've got them is Botox/fillers/facelift.

Whatever you do, if you are using any acid treatments like liquid gold and also if you use retinoids, make sure you use a good quality SPF too (UVA & UVB) as you are exposing new skin which is more vulnerable to sun damage.

Thanks Squeezy that's really helpful

I was expecting some pain or something...it was mainly just hot? no pain!

Good, it shouldn't hurt! At worst you might get a bit of mild tingling/warmth but not pain.

Squeezey - can you recommend a good serum for me?

I have very sensitive skin which is very dry (I drink loads and loads of water a day but my skin often looks dry and dull). Tried the Estee Lauder one (skin hated it) Temple Spa (ok).

Need inspiration.
