Alpha H Liquid Gold recommendations

Raksha, I haven’t heard of a reaction similar to what you have experienced with Liquid Gold (getting scabs on the skin). The combination of alcohol and glycolic acid in the product could be too strong for your skin. You might want to think about contacting Alpha-H:

Just wanna check in with you ladies on Alpha H Liquid Gold. I’ve recently started using this, and in just 2 days, I’m getting this lovely glow. I was gonna say I really like this product; it’s easy to use (just sweep on and use nothing else after), then my skin starts to dry and crack; I get kinda scabs on my chin, which I tend to pick at…

I’ve stopped using them for now, and the dryness is improving. I wanna know if this is normal, if it’s just a phase I have to get thru (for softer skin). And oh yes, the tingling (sting) is rather uncomfortable too.

Alpha H have also released a less strong version called Rose Gold – this may work better on people that the original formula is too strong for.

I sometimes use it twice a week, just on its own, and it’s great for use when I have left my skincare routine late, like 11 pm so this is super quick for those nights

Also put it on the backs of your hands

I use the liquid rose gold and love it! It’s helped heaps with my redness!!

thankyou so much for all of your advice! i’m currently 2 weeks in using every second night and having amazing results! better than i could have imagined!

I love it but I can only use it sparingly, every few days. They do recommend wearing it overnight with no moisturiser for an intense treatment but my skin can’t handle that; it hurts! It has helped with my pigmentation and my milia. I always apply serum over the top.

One surprising benefit has been with my keratosis pilaris. I use it on my arms (I apply liberally) and it helps immensely with my extremely annoying, stubborn KP!

Some great tips here, I hope it works for you.

I’d suggest if your into acids/ incorporating some look for some others once you finish your liquid gold. The liquid gold contains alcohol denat as the second ingredient which I believe to be harmful long term.

Just my 2 cents worth.

every 2nd night, avoid the eye area, wipe using cotton pads across the face and neck. go straight to bed DO NOT PUT ANYTHING ON TOP it il lessen the effects

I feel the same way about the alcohol content Petal. I have one more bottle to use up and then I’m done. I’m switching to Mizon AHA 8% Peeling Serum instead.

I’ve bought a few bottles of Liquid Gold over the last few years. I haven’t used it consistently because I don’t like how much alcohol it contains, plus I’m always trying other exfoliants. Recently a small patch of freckles (light pigmentation) appeared on my face. I haven’t yet seen a reduction in them by using Liquid Gold.

For me, Liquid Gold is just a great exfoliating product. When I use it, I see a greyish residue on the cotton makeup remover pads. I haven’t seen a reduction in fine lines or wrinkles by using it. Perhaps if I used the product consistently, I’d see more benefits.

Although my skin is dry, Liquid Gold doesn’t dry my skin out, despite its alcohol content. Sometimes I use Liquid Gold without applying another product afterwards. Sometimes I follow up Liquid Gold with something like rosehip oil.

Once I’ve used up my current bottle of Liquid Gold, I will try The Ordinary’s glycolic acid.
