Review: Alpha H Liquid Gold with Glycolic Acid.


Alpha H Liquid Gold - £31.50 (ON SALE - £26.77)

This is another product I've had on my wishlist for some time, it has had mixed reviews so I didn't rush in to buy it, but after a lot of thought, I decided to purchase and add it to my skincare routine. I've heard great reviews about this product, Ruth and Meg (who both have perfect skin!) are big fans and it aims to improve everything I have issues with (large pores, blemishes, scarring, overall complexion etc.) 

Liquid Gold is a powerful overnight treatment which contains Glycolic Acid (exfoliates and brightens), Licorice Extract (soothes and reduces dark spots & pigmentation) and Silk Proteins (smoothing). It aims to firm and resurface the skin, leaving it looking clearer and more even, whilst also helping with enlarged pores, blemishes and scarring.

My skin isn't great, the normal/combination (slightly oily) skin type means I'm prone to blemishes which leave scars and my overall complexion could be better.
I use Liquid Gold every second night, I apply it to a cotton pad and sweep it over my face after cleansing. I aim to leave it at that as these treatments are meant to work better neat, but I find moisturiser is needed as it's quite drying!

Now, the results. I've been using this for roughly a month and noticed my complexion looking better from the first application. My pores looked less noticeable and my overall skin tone looked more even and brighter. I also get fewer blemishes now and they clear up quicker, and the scarring seems to have improved.

I'm definitely going to keep at this, my skin has seen a huge difference and looks and feels a lot smoother and even. I'd recommend this for all skin types, especially for those who have dull or uneven skin tones or are prone to blemishes/scarring.
It's slightly on the pricey side but it's definitely worth it and you only need to use a small amount to notice a big difference.

What are your thoughts on Liquid Gold?

Note: You can hear my thoughts on this product in my June Favourites video also.

  8. I've never heard of this product before but I've got terribly red skin so I'd be pretty interested to see how it would affect that. Might have to look into it a little more. hmmm, interesting.

  10. I'm obsessed with this! Oddly, on the first run of using it I didn't really see much of a difference and stopped for a month or so, then on the second run I noticed a difference within a few uses! Crazy.

  13. Ah I have been using this for a few weeks now. I am still on the fence with it so am going to persevere for a few more weeks prior to airing my final thoughts in a review however having said that I have noticed a dramatic reduce in breakouts so far which can only be a good thing!

  14. Sounds like a good product, think I'd be scared of using it and my skin reacting badly since it's quite strong x

  15. This sounds like such a good product! But its so expensive and if my skin broke out from using this it'd be so disappointing xxx

  26. I've also had my eye on this but concerned about the drying effect as I have super thirsty skin! Do you find it works as well with moisturiser on top? x

  28. I've read a ton about this product but it has gotten some mixed reviews about the ingredients. However, as the positive reviews are considerable greater in number, plus yours :), I definitely going to have to give it a go and see if it does anything for my hyper-pigmentation.

  30. what makeup do you use? Seriously, I swore by this awesome skin regimen and I still broke out. The makeup makes a difference! I just use this stuff for powder and foundation and it's made a huge difference.

    I know, nobody's ever heard of it and it's impossible to find reviews for it, but I got it from my esthetician at a spa by my house and it's seriously made such a difference. Enjoy!

    Love your blog. xoxo
