I was given a tester pot and have used this cream nightly for a week. I haven't seen any noticeable difference in my skin so far. Apparently the difference will be visible after 2 weeks (due to glycolic acid?)
I'll give my opinion after that time has lapsed. In the mean time I wonder if this expensive cream is really worth the price tag?
I've also heard that your skin could be "addicted" to glycolic acid/other form of chemical peeling, as in once you start you can't stop using it as your skin won't get the glowy effect anymore. Is this true?
You're skin won't become addicted to glycolic acid but the results aren't permanent so if you got the glowy effect from the glycolic then it's going to go away when you stop. If you're not seeing results then the product may not be strong enough. I couldn't find how much glycolic the product actually contains but I did find the price and you can certainly find a glycolic acid product for less. Paula's Choice clearly states what percertages her products contain and are reasonably priced. If you want to give it a longer test run, you might order a sample or two from her.
In the past I've used glycolic mask from my dermatologist and didn't think it made that much difference to my skin. Has anyone tried Paula's Choice glycolic acid?
Update on ReVive cream: I could see the effect on my cheeks now. It's more "pinky effect" than glowing, as the skin got burn easier now, if you get what I mean... I still have some left on my little tester tube, so I'll keep on using it until it's gone and will report on the result. :)
