Has anyone used the above products, and if so how have you got on with them?
I had them recommended by a dermatologist. I had a bad experience of veinwave treatment in that it scarred and bruised me and so now I have another problem 
Would be grateful to hear from anyone who has used these.
Thanks. |

| My son has acne and has been using the neostrata glycolic foaming cleanser and treatment oil - excellent results. Not drying at all and his skin is much better. |

| The only product I have used is the Neostrata Exuviance Rejuvenating Complex which I rather like and has not caused me any irritation at all. |

I am currently using the Neostrata eye cream; exfoliating formula. It seems to be working well. I purchased at SDM at 20% off so it was under $25.00.
I would like to try other products from this line. |

I used their eye cream. The green tea and gluco something acid one... sry I'm too lazy to check the exact spelling  I also tried the Vit K capsules for dark circles but it doesn't do anything at all. Also, used their face lotion with glycolic acid and my skin was all red and peeling a few days later. I guess it's too harsh for my sensitive skin. |

oh... Also tried their glycolic deep cleansing clay mask. That's not too bad cuz I feel that my skin is smoother afterwards. I guess it's good if u have oily or acne prone skin.
Overall, I would say their products are alright at a reasonable price. |

I am using that eye cream also. So far I really like it. |

| I am using one of their anti-wrinkle eye creams and have found that it hasn't done all that much for me. And if I use it daily, it'll make my eyes puffy. So I haven't really gotten a good impression of Neostrata... |

My sister tried the Vit. K capsules for dark circles. The 1st few times she used it, she was fine. She stopped using it for awhile and then get back to it again. It was then that she developed a dermatitis like reaction with red itchy rashes around the ares where she applied the Vit. K capsules...so scary  |

My dermatologist recommended some kind of acne gel from Neostrata a couple of years ago, but it was for the back...I used it for a while on the back, but I found it really did a good job of clearing up the acne..I know I really really hated this problem, I washed so much and so hard to not have the problem, but my Derm said it's hormonal or something...
Anyways, I did find it quite helpful!
I didn't even know that Neostrata actually had a whole line of diff. products....It's interesting b/c until now, I thought the company only made acne products...Thanks for the thread! I learned something new today  |

I've used their products for several years. There are several lines- Bionic line which mainly uses PHA for acid beginners while others are AHA products or AHA+PHA.
Their products' quality is so far so good. To myself, I recommend the Glycolic 20% Cleansing foam (nice fine foam) and PHA 4 cleanser (gentle and hydrating) both do very good job on cleansing and removing make-up.
Bionic serum (my hg)with vit a,c,e, gives bright radiance , and the Bionic cream is good for hydrating oily skin with only pea size each time.
The bionic eye cream doesn't do anything to me.
The glycolic lotion is too oily had better to use on body. People fave the AHA gel plus for acne/oily skin but I think it just okay.
To the Neostrata Exuviance Line, I used the Rejuvenating Complex and Rejuvenating mask. The former can give fast effect that your skin looks so good but according I checked from the ingredients list, I think the Exuviance Line products contain too much harmful chemical. |

| I'm using their glycolic body lotion or smoothing lotion which is what they call it here. I use it on and off whenever I feel like it and it's been doing a good job of getting rid of my mild KP. |

Does it do a good job in reducing pores on your body if there're any? I have some enlarged pores on my legs |

Another good AHA lotion to try is Lac-Hydrin with 12% aha (listed as Nuetralized Lactic Acid). I got mine from SDM in 225 ml bottle. It was under $15.00 cdn and it is usually on the bottom shelf in the "common" skin care items. Quite a few ladies use this for KP on the MUA forum. I have not tried the Neostrata one. It has 10% and it is more $$.
Edit: this is a body lotion |

Thanks for all your tips, think I may have to try the masks, also want something for under eye wrinkles?
I am going to need something stronger for my scarring though, or to increase the usage. At the moment I am using ordinary cleanser and 2 x a week the glycolic and leaving on 3 mins.
I had veinwave treatment and it left me scarred and marked  |

Anyone can HELP please.
Where can I buy Neostrata AHA & PHA products in Canada? Most of the online shop don't ship outside US? |

| Don't know where in Canada you are, but if you're near a London Drugs or Shoppers Drug Mart. They both carry this line of products. |
