"The Alpha-H Liquid Gold is a glycolic acid product. Some people say it works and they love it, but others say it's disappointing. One review mentioned it was cheaper before at 59 dollars and now costs 72, which is expensive, and they didn't see a difference after finishing the first bottle."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Alpha hydroxy acids

Alpha hydroxy acids loosen the bonds holding dead cells at the surface. The evidence supports smoother texture and more even tone over time, and they can leave skin more sensitive to sun.
