Details & care

What it is: The cult AHA exfoliating treatment helps increase luminosity, improve elasticity and even tone and texture.

Who it's for: Ideal for combination skin types.

What it does: The treatment is now supercharged with vitamin C. The powerhouse duo harnesses the exfoliating power of glycolic acid and brightening effects of vitamin C, enhanced by its unique low-pH delivery system. The result is brighter, more radiant skin.

How to use: Apply the treatment at night, after cleansing your face. Use it three alternate nights a week. Saturate a cotton pad with 1–2mL per use or dispense the equivalent amount in the palm of your hand. The treatment can be applied to the face, neck, décolleté and body. Introduce the treatment gradually. For an intensive treatment, do not follow with moisturizer or serum.

LIQUID GOLD + VITAMIN C

I tried this as a sample which was x1 single use facial pad. There was ample product to use on my face, neck, and décolletage. I initially felt some minor tingling but this quickly subsided and my skin instantly felt tighter. I was tempted to moisturise afterwards but the instructions stated for an intensive treatment to not follow with a serum or moisturiser so I left as was. In the morning my pores were visibly tighter and my skin looked bright and hydrated...I was impressed after one usage and will be tempted to purchase this.

Allergic Reaction

Received a free sample in my last order, tried and in experienced my face and neck slightly swollen and red the next day. However, 2nd day I'm experiencing extreme face swelling and redness and broken out in little spots all over my face. Needless to say, the product doesnt agree with my skin, hoping the extreme rash, swelling and redness goes down soon as its extremely uncomfortable.

Exfoliating

Received a single use sample that was a cotton pad soaked in the product. I used in the evening after cleansing. There was an immediate tingling effect around nose, I find it much harsher than the original Liquid Gold, which I really enjoy using, and more drying on my skin.

Liquid Gold Exfoliating Treatment

I received it as a sample and thought I try it even though it did not sound as a treatment I would normally use for my maturing skin. The sample was a cotton pad soaked in the treatment. It was quite generous to use on my face, neck, décolleté. As it was a pad, I could only use it once. This is a liquid which has a texture of a spirit and a smell of a spirit. Quite strong. The instructions said that I should not use a moisturizer with it if I wanted an intensive treatment. So I waited for 10 minutes. But after a while my skin looked sagged and dehydrated and obviously in need of support. So I did use my restoration oil afterwards. In the morning the skin was quite soft to touch. But it did not look any better. So it is quite harsh thing to use with no visible improvements to bring with it. I won’t recommend it.

Alpha-H Liquid Gold + Vitamin C

I'm like the Alpha-H Liquid Gold and this version is just a good with the extra Vitamin C  It didn't leave my skin feeling blotchy, sticky, or dry.  I find this formula helps to brighten my skin and unblock pores. It doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin. Highly recommend.

Bit too strong

I'm only reviewing a single use sample of this, so can't comment on longer-term effects. Worth noting that I already use a daily exfoliating cleanser in the mornings, which I skipped the morning that I used this. When I first applied Liquid Gold with the wipe, my skin tingled a bit. I noticed that there was a red flush on the inner sides of my nose. My skin felt a bit tight until I moisturised. In the morning, my skin was fine - it looked quite shiny and pores were tight - but felt a bit thirsty. I think the Liquid Gold pads were a bit too strong for me or I had used them too close to other exfoliating products. it's definitely effective but maybe more suited to oilier skin?

Beware of sensitive to Vitamin C

I'm sure this may be great for people without sensitive skin but I woke up the next morning bumpy and red. I have sensitive skin and am eczema prone but then had to spend 3 days battling my breakout. So I would not recommend to people with any type of skin sensitivity. I received this as a sample.
