Is alpha H no good now?

I used to see loads of threads about this but have gone through search and can't seem to find any.
Is it not in for skin?! What do I neeeeed instead?

As in Liquid Gold? It didn't nothing whatsoever for my face. Nothing. Might as well have just rubbed the money across my face instead.

I think the buzz has died down a bit is all. It's still a well loved product. I have it, I use it, but I won't repurchase it as I have other treatments I like better. What is it that you want it to do? What skin issues do you have?

When it came out there wasn't much else in the way of widely available glycolic treatments, so it did well. Now the technology has trickled down into affordable products you can buy in Boots/Superdrug for 1/3 of the price and 100% of the efficacy and so people are less bothered about LG now. Especially when a lot of the newer products come in more convenient & travel friendly forms like pads, which mean you don't have to faff around with cotton wool pads.

FrickInAStick have you got any specific recommendations? I've seen the Nip+Fab pads, are those what you mean? I'm all about things that are 1/3 price but 100% the efficiency!

I've never used Liquid Gold but I use the Nip and Fab pads and I love them. Just the regular glycolic ones, not even the Extreme version, make my skin so much more glowy. And the Dragons' Blood ones have salicylic acid in - if I see a spot starting, I give it a rub with a DB pad at night and its pretty much gone in the morning

Thank you! Off to Superdrug I go tomorrow :)

Thank you some good advice here. I'm a little wary about buying more glycolyic as I bought the pixi glow pads and had horrendous breakouts. Which I know is unusual. Can anyone advise whether it's worth persevering? Or trying another type?
