Alpha Hydrox White Basic Face Wash — 

I first tried Alpha Hydrox Face Wash about twelve years ago and I have been using it ever since. I can't imagine ever switching to something else. It is a very effective cleanser at a very affordable price. I love the way my face feels after washing with it. It is very soothing to my dry, sensitive middle-aged skin. What makes it a really amazing cleanser is how gentle it is. It does not hurt at all if I get it in my eyes. That is gentle! I wear make-up including waterproof mascara on a daily basis. I never use make-up removers. AH Face Wash doesn't completely get rid of the mascara but it easily removes all the other make-up. I am usually okay with the residue but when  my mascara build-up is too much I work some Vaseline into my lashes and remove that with a tissue. Other than that, this face wash is the only product I need to cleanse my face. It's worth much more than the price. Don't let that fool you. Expensive doesn't always mean better! I would be devastated if they stopped making this product. I love it!!!

If both are 12% GA, the only difference is the texture. I use 10% as well. I even have 8% bur prefer at least 10% GA as it really makes me glow.

I think the lotion is just as good as the souffle. It has the same ingredients and it lasts longer. Both are great but I really think they're exactly the same so I go with the cheaper lotion!

I started using the enhanced lotion at the same time I tried the cleanser and it was my saving grace! Recently, I switched to the souffle and I'm still on the fence about which one is better. The lotion spreads more easily than the souffle so I need less and it's less expensive to begin with, so would only stick with the souffle if it's more effective. I'm not sure yet, have you found it to be?

I love ALL the AH products. I have them all from the cleanser to the foot cream to the souffle for the face etc. Inexpensive but so effective!
