Amaaaazing!

I bought this product because I have oily, acne prone skin. The areas where I’m most oily (my t-zone) I have a few closed comedones and my dermatologist told me that glycolic acid is great for treating this problem. This solution has dramatically improved the texture of my skin. It looks and feels so smooth and I get compliments on how great my skin looks. I’d so go for it if you’re on the fence about getting it. My only word of advice is to follow the directions on the box. One night I got a bit too over-zealous and applied way too much and I was peeling for days. Won’t be doing that again.

What happened?? So liquidy!

I have used this product before and loved it so I happily popped it out of the box and threw out the packaging and receipt before realizing, upon using, they must have changed the formula because now when you pump it it's barely thicker than water it's just so liquidy I can't even get it into my hands to rub it in I slipped right through my fingers. Total waste of money and so so sad because I loved it.

Loved it!

I bought this product along with 5 other products from arcona and this was the first one I fell in love with. I have oily/problem skin that is also sensitive and this is strong enough to use on my problem skin but it doesn't make my sensitive skin dry and irritated. It is kind of hard to apply but I just squirt some in my palm and rub it all over my face with my fingertips. As soon as you put it on you can feel the acid in it making your skin tingle. It works well when you use the cranberry gommage the next day to scrub off all of the dead skin... It really makes you glow.

First time...and I love!!

This was recommended to me by someone else who also loved this product. I’ve been using it for about a month and love it! I have sensitive skin and very dry skin after having my daughter and this didn’t dry out my skin or give me any breakouts. I do wish the formula wasn’t as liquidy, was hoping it would be a little thicker in consistency but I love it either way.

Really, The Is The Solution!

I use the entire Arcona regimen daily and I use this a few times a week or when my skin is out of whack. You can feel it working the moment you put it on. It does sting a little, but my skin sees immediate results. Sometimes follow with a Magic Dry Ice if needed.

Amazing product

The Solution Treatment transforms my skin. I can’t live without this product. Reduces pore size, evens complexion, and makes your skin texture very soft!
