I use this once a week for 1 month. It is can reduce the pimple and whitehead on my forehead.

I have sensitive skin, I can only let it sit on my face around 8 minutes. Otherwise it makes my skin sting and painful.

The smell also no good. It is too strong to my nose.

That would be the high content of glycolic acid irritating your skin. Keep using this product but remember it contains what sounds to me as a very strong AHA for your skin, so if you continue to use it do not use other peels in the mean time.

Neostrata has some products that have less of a % of acids.

maybe try using those more often instead of a high % of one item just once a week??

I used to use the Neostrata blemish serum, it is 2% salicilic and has other stuff.
you can use it twice a day.

or else they have AHA/glycolic with sunscreens.

I really like the Neostrata eye creams,but only the ones without acids.

A beauty consultant recommended this for my dry sensitive skin. AWFUL - had alcohol and is extremely irritating and drying. Now I use it on my hands and fingers just to use it up. I like Neostrata but so many of their products have alcohol.

Neostrata site recommends this for dry skin too.

The salesperson had similar skin and she uses it for 2 minutes a day as a mask and loved it so bought it. There are better glycolics available for that purpose.

Do you use it both in morning and evening?
Do you wash it off after 8 minutes? Any other moisturizer in addition?

Did you try any other Neostrata anci-acne products,like Oily Skin Solution - AHA 8?
Have you used its cleanser? I am interested in its NeoStrata Antibacterial Facial Cleanser and Foaming Glycolic Wash AHA 20.
