GREAT VIDEO !! the dedication you put into your videos is impressive! 6 months is a long time. I admire the time and effort you put forth. You really go above and beyond...thank you!
This is an amazing video. the glycol acid is the one with better results. Thank you for sharing this kind of video. Congratulations for you and all the women that put excellent information through their channels. I am applying the retinol A 0.25 on my elbows with good results.
Not all hero's wear capes, but you my dear is a She-ro! This video was so needed by countless women from all over the world! And for this, we salute you! Thank you graciously for sharing.
I really commend you for taking those photos, it's a very brave thing to do. I'm in my early 50s and hate how my skin is starting to look. I appreciate your product reviews because it's so hard to invest in a product and then find out it either doesn't work or there's something better at a more affordable price. I think women over fifty should strive to look the best they can and not be inhibited about age. I've been writing about and posting pictures on my blog and Instagram account about how to remain dressing fun and trendy at 50-something. Your videos are inspiring, you look great!
The glycolic result was really amazing! I'd have guessed retinol would do a better job but clearly the glycolic was the winner. I'm sold. Thanks for this innformative and the outcomes based research you do. I'm in medical research and you definately are an outcomes based researcher! I love it!
I think it's wonderful how you take such TIME and EFFORT into testing so many products and putting yourself out there the way you do. Your a lovely woman and what you do is TRULY appreciated by SO many! I started copying your morning and evening skin care routine last year and my skin has never looked better AND you have saved me SO much money, I can't thank you enough. It is simply exhausting, constantly trying new products and continuously wasting money, so I personally want to thank you, for ALL you do!
Thank you for your excellent video. Skincare and the advances that have been made to repair and care for our skin are so needed for those of us that are fighting to keed our skin as healthy and young looking as possible.
I so appreciate your videos. I'm 60+ and you're one of the very few that address concerns that we all have due to aging. I've come to rely on your tips and suggestions and have been extremely happy with the results. Thanks again for all your research and testing and for sharing it all!
You are so brave and we love you for it! You are truly a beauty inside as well as outside. Thank you for bringing us so many answers - almost therapy - for our worries about aging.
I found your information in Woman's Day. I'm two yrs from 50 and ugh. my skin has changed my body and hair. So I'm glad to have found you on utube. Thanks for the information.
I agree with the other comments - no one else puts in the time and dedication to truly show the results of products like you. You're our aging scientist!! Thank you! Great video.
This is why your channel is popular and very much loved by many!!......because you do put yourself out there and always have great information for all of us to hear and see. You are gorgeous Angie......plus let me not forget to tell you that we all appreciate you. I know when I come to your channel I will be getting honest reviews. Trust you completely!! Thank you for doing this!!! you are an amazing lady!!! xxx
Angie you're awesome for doing this, literally! You hooked me for the glycolic lotion! My legs are looking horrible 😔 and have noticed a lot more cellulite as well 😢 Thx for video.
Angie! This video and your dedication are so awesome, and I am incredibly thankful! The results you've had are so impressive. This is, again, something I'm going to be adding to my routine thanks to you. I'm not yet over 50 (36), but I do have crepey skin and laxity issues from losing a large amount of weight. So much of what you've recommended has helped my skin so much. Thanks again for all your hard work!
I'll just say this - keep doing whatever you're doing. After looking back at some of your videos from 5 years ago it's clear that you are looking younger. I really appreciate that you are sharing what works - and what doesn't. Thanks so much!
Hi Angie. I just wanted to say thank you so much for doing this video for us. I hold my breath every time I do a tutorial and try to get the foundation on as fast as I can...I know this can't of been easy to do this, but you did it to help us and I for one, would like to say thank you so much....hugs...Bella xxxx🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃
I use the 12% glycolic acid lotion on my body and Face. It works SO well!! I love it because, as you said, there's no fragrance & my skin is super soft. The price has gone up to $20 since your review, but it's worth it!! I highly recommend it too!!! Thank You Angie!
Appreciate your patience to go through the test for good 6 months . And coming with a satisfactory n obvious results to show with quite an inexpensive product has helped immensely.
Oh Angie...girl...it only gets worse as we get older! OK, going to purchase this glycolic right now!!!!! Thanks for doing this video for us. xoxo patti 🎀
Fantastic video as usual! I actually prefer to use glycolics on my body and retinols on my face. I go back and forth with my neck. You should try Donell AHA 20% Body Tingle. I've been using it for over 10 years, and I love it!
Thank you for taking the time to do these experiments and provide pictures. Your presentations are so professional. You provide good info, you get to the point (unlike many other TH-cam presenters who ramble on and on before getting to the point of the video).
for the first time (at 55) , I very started to take care of my skin, thanks to you, and your trials, I know what products to look for. . I should have started 20 years ago, but I didn't think I could understand look worse, ha I was wrong!
Your attention to detail always impresses me, Angie. Your photos speak volumes!! Hooray for the less expensive, and more effective product. Blessings...MaryEllen
The Alpha skincare line is a really good & affordable line of products. I especially like their glycolic serum. It works great at an amazing price. Seems ridiculous to spend upwards of $50 for an AHA imo.
Thank you Angie, for experimenting on yourself and guiding us to the best products. So if we use the glycolic (which I will), do we put spf all over our body after the glycolic? You are using it in the AM, right? What SPF would you recommend for the body as some of the SPF's that you like would be too expensive for all over the body. Thank you!
Good god NO, those mineral face sunscreens are way too expensive to use on the body!! I use a standard chemical sunscreen for body. My fave is Banana Boat Sport Ultra SPF 50. I use the moisturizer after I shower in the morning, but it can be used in the evening instead.
This reply is great, ha. I'm still trying to figure out what in the flip I can use on my neck that won't irritate it! I know you have the same issue and have been back and forth. Can you tell me what you have decided on? Can you use the glycolic there - or are you still using something else? I feel like my skin is pretty tough overall, but my neck is SOOOOOOOO sensitive! Frustration central! I thought I saw you recommend a retinol OTC product for the neck, but I can't remember which it was. Thanks in advance.
Lori I have the same problem with my neck, so sensitive! Ugh! I think it was a cerave skin renewing skin serum that she uses on her neck but my neck can't even tolerate that! :( I think I may try the glycolic since I'm going to buy it anyway for my arms and legs!
Hallelujah! I've been looking for something that actually works for my body skin! I am 72 and my hands, arms, and legs...heck...my whole body is showing more aging in the last year! I'm going to try the Alpha product! Thank you Angie!
I truly appreciate your transparency AND your willingness to use scientific methods to try and review these products. Love that you found a reasonably priced hit!
I love the Alpha Skin Care line. I use the Alpha Intensive Rejuvenating Serum with 14% glycolic acid and I started noticing results very quickly. Obviously, you have to be vigilant about maintaining consistent use, but at their price point, it's so worth it.
Oh my gosh, Angie girl, my hats off to you for your bravery! I have resorted to Capri length shorts, nothing above the knee & 3/4 sleeves. I am soon to be 58 young, 5'6", 115 lbs. I exercise, eat well, have used almost every cream & lotion with false promises for improving creepiness! I saw the results for you, how so amazingly impressive! I ordered a bottle, right away! Thank you so much for your realism! 💋 Please keep us posted on your progress.
I LOVE that glycol lotion, I just bought some for my parents yesterday, my dad has the KP on his arms and I want to see if this helps him~ great video!! ❤️ Lisa
Sarah, I took a spot off my arm with compound W. (I have a video.) It has come back a little..so I need to do it again. Also, the retinol lotion has decreased my KP on my arms.
Thanks, i will try that. The spot is about the size of a pencil eraser. It gets darker when i self tan but is barely noticeable when im not tan. Im 32 and i gave up on the sun in my early 20s!
Glycolic acid is my favorite anti-aging ingredient. I have been using it for years. Thanks for the test which proves to me it is superior to the retinol.
I just love your chanel! I think you are doing an amazing job and I am so thankful for the information and the knowledge you're giving us! I will definitely buy the glycolic lotion! Keep up the good work! Love you!
Ironically the alpha hydroxy brand, now rebranded as Alpha, was always Paula's best choice in the "Don't go to the Cosmetics Counter Without me" books.
You’re absolutely right! I kept trying to remember how I got started on the Alpha and why I stopped! As a less expensive product, I think I’ll try it again as a body treatment.
Bless your heart... doing this for all of us. You are fearless. I've been searching all the TH-cam ladies channels for crepey skin posts... couldn't find anything. I watch you pretty regularly and must have missed the one six months ago. I really appreciate that you used the word in the header...so helpful.
LOVE your videos!! SO many people either forget or WANT to not think about them and hide these problems of aging, but I love that you tackle it head on, full force and test just what shows results and not just results but the BEST results and having it be affordable makes it even sweeter! Love that we have someone who knows what we are dealing with and helps us not just look our best but be and feel our best!
Based on this experiment, I might start recommending glycolic acid over OTC retinol for the face, but neither should be used directly on the eyelids. The best thing for my crepey lids has been using prescription Retin-A for the last 4 years. I don't put it on my lids, but a tiny (non-irritating) amount of it gets smeared there when I put my next serum or moisturizer over it (and put that on my lids)!
Nice to know that it doesn't have to cost a fortune to get good results especially when my $$ are short and every penny has to be spent wisely and with good value. Thanks Angie.
Vanessa Prado de Sauerbrey Hi ! I just clicked on Angie's link for Ulta and found out that they now ship to Canada !! YAYY !! On amazon.ca I saw the price was as high as 60$, even more, and on Ulta it's not even 25$, so it is pretty darn good !! Happy Ulta shopping !! 😉👍
I really thought before watching this that the retinal side would work better, but after watching this I think that they both worked but the glycolic side worked even better. Thank you so much for all that you do! Your dedication is outstanding! Don't feel worried about your before pics because your beautiful and probably look better than most women half your age.
Walgreens has a dupe for the ALPHA HYDROX face cream, 8% acid, I think it is? 12 or 8......... Just test it in a small patch first, because AHA can cause irritation if you're not used to it, I don't remember if it has avocado oil, in case anyone is allergic. But it's really great!
I use that one on my face and neck and really like the results. The cream is Walgreens brand, 7.8% glycolic acid, I believe it is a 4 oz jar and very affordable at $10. A little goes a long way.
Wow Angie! How sweet of you to go the entrails for your viewers and we really appreciate it so much. thank you so much. The Alpha is the winner for me. 👌💖
Just placed an order thru yr link for the Alpha gycolic. Thank you so much for yr honest review and photos. Real people real photos with no filter or touch ups are very rare these days on you tube Angie, and I am sure all yr subscribers appreciate yr honesty xxxx
I've been using the Alpha glycolic acid for two months, and wow! Yes, I noticed a difference in my skin right away... much smoother. I bought mine on Amazon. 👍🏻 Thanks Angie!
I've been waiting for this video since you mentioned it months ago!!! I've already ordered the glycolic lotion. I think you are stunning, but I know it's hard to put your picture out there for people to scrutinize. Thank you for your thorough reviews. You are the best!
I just noticed this on my thighs this month! WTH! Just purchased the Donell AHA 20 Face and Body Care Exfoliating Body Moisturizer Body Tingle. Only because of the higher glycolic acid percentage.
Angie I’ve been using Amlactin with good results, it has 12% lactic acid; but I don’t like its amonia- like smell so I’ll try the Alpha instead. I love your reviews!
I am glad you posted this. I am 39 and starting to get more serious about my skin care. I have been wanting a good lotion to keep my skin looking young. I unfortunately don't have the best skin on my arms or legs or hands I don't want to loom older than I am. I will be trying this soon. Thanks again. love that I can get it from Amazon to.
I love glycolic especially on my heels and 12% is the best!! It just makes rough feet disappear! Thank you or showing this product cause the value is amazing ! Thanks again Angie!! And your pictures were great...You are very dedicated! And we all appreciate it!! xoxoxoxoxo Hugs!! Carol
I just love you and your channel, Angie, but I think you are too hard on yourself. You said your knees looked horrible, but mine look worse and I didn't they think they looked too awful until you called yours horrible lol!! Now I need to learn to not compare or get a boatload of that lotion hahaha
You’re the best ! I use the Alpha one thanks to you. It helps me with my solar keratosis. It makes them less rough and bumpy. I am very bad to forget to put it on. I hate that the price is so high. But it does last a while. I think I’ll try both now. It couldn’t hurt. Thank you for all your time and hard work 🥰
Thank you! I purchased the Alpha skin care and I see a difference! Love you! I work out, eat right and the crepe skin was making me sad. I am smiling again! THANK YOU!
WOW! The glycolic performed better all the way around! Love the price point as well!! Thank you for taking the time and tracking your results over 6 months. You must be a very organized and detailed person! I really appreciate your efforts Angie! Thanks for showing the pictures! Huge hugs!!
I use the alpha and I love it! I have also used the Paula,s choice, but it did nothing for my skin. Thank you so much for the closeup pictures! Do not feel timid,,,even young peoples skin looks eerie closeup!
As a young person, I decided to follow you because I have EDS. I don't have much collagen in my body naturally. Retinol saved my life! :0 Thank you for talking about all things anti- age!
Aloha Angie! This is a very impressive video. Thanks so much for your dedication. My legs have always been one of my very best and sexiest "features" but I have to say now that I'm near my 70 year mark, I have to admit I cover them up more often than not. So sad...mostly because I really don't like my vanity regarding my crepey skin, something so trivial in the big scheme of things. I really do admire women who go out with arms a flapping and legs a waving in the breeze full on. That is confidence in and embracing their True Feminity. I keep working on it. Getting better.... thanks again!!!!
MUCH credit for seeing your honesty (embarrassment?) on camera in disliking your 'old person's skin' and doing it anyway. You really have helped me and continue to help me with your suggestions and comparisons as I try to keep my skin youthful. Thank you so much Angie. You are wonderful! {{Hugs}}
My Alpha came in the mail today! Thanks for the recommendation... I used it today and love it...my Skin still feels moisturized 10 hours later. Can't wait to see the long term results. Love your reviews, so informative and appreciate the REAL reviews with detailed before and afters.
First let me say that you are looking fantastic Angie, the years seem to be falling away and I'm sure that many others would totally agree. This video is really great and at 4 mos short of 70 the skin on my body needs help. I will certainly give it a try, probably the glycolic because of the price difference. Thanks for going out of your comfort zone in showing these before and afters, seeing is so much more helpful than just hearing someone's verbal recommendations! 🤗
Thank you very much for your seriously professional commitment to bringing us the most honest, tried and tested reviews. I also loved your camera and light set up video. Something about it was so much more encouraging to someone who would love to start a channel. Having watched others as this is something I'd love to do, I've always felt they were sort of either holding something back or could have explained things much better like you did eg how the auto focus actually works rather than just saying it. Thanks again, from Australia xx
I had to stop the video half way through to order the Alpha skin care lotion from Amazon! My skin looks exactly like your before photos. Thank you for this great video. Take care - Barbara
GREAT VIDEO !! the dedication you put into your videos is impressive! 6 months is a long time. I admire the time and effort you put forth. You really go above and beyond...thank you!
This is an amazing video. the glycol acid is the one with better results. Thank you for sharing this kind of video. Congratulations for you and all the women that put excellent information through their channels. I am applying the retinol A 0.25 on my elbows with good results.
Rhonda hello...I use retinol on my fac= dr. prescribed...I have very rough elbows. I never thought about using the retinol before..Ty for info
Thank you so much. That was very brave.
Ditto!!
jkhjj
you are in a league of your own. no one does what you do... absolutely the best! thank you :)
I love you for putting yourself out there to help your subs make smarter choices ..You look absolutely beautiful ..inside and out. thank you.
Not all hero's wear capes, but you my dear is a She-ro! This video was so needed by countless women from all over the world! And for this, we salute you! Thank you graciously for sharing.
Your skin in light years better than mine, and I'm only 46. You are gorgeous, and I can't thank you enough for being so brave and informative.
That blue blouse you are wearing is absolutely perfect for you. You look stunning!
Aging on the outside, while internally still feeling 27 is so hard! Thanks so much for all the time, & great info you put out! Priceless!
I applaud your confidence in doing this for us. It's the glycolic for me for results and cost.
I really commend you for taking those photos, it's a very brave thing to do. I'm in my early 50s and hate how my skin is starting to look. I appreciate your product reviews because it's so hard to invest in a product and then find out it either doesn't work or there's something better at a more affordable price.

I was just wondering what to do about the skin on my arms and legs. Now I know! Alpha Glycolic Lotion! Thank you!
You are so brave and we love you for it! You are truly a beauty inside as well as outside. Thank you for bringing us so many answers - almost therapy - for our worries about aging.
I found your information in Woman's Day. I'm two yrs from 50 and ugh. my skin has changed my body and hair. So I'm glad to have found you on utube. Thanks for the information.
Thanks for your always helpful information and for being fun and honest about aging and caring about aging well!
i used the Glycolic 12% lotion last night for the first time and ALREADY IMPRESSED! Smooth skin
I agree with the other comments - no one else puts in the time and dedication to truly show the results of products like you. You're our aging scientist!! Thank you! Great video.

Angie you're awesome for doing this, literally! You hooked me for the glycolic lotion! My legs are looking horrible 😔 and have noticed a lot more cellulite as well 😢
Thx for video.
You are the bravest person I "know"! Thank you for braving all the testing and the modeling!
This was great! I am going to get that aha body lotion. Thanks for doing this, it's very helpful! xoxo
WOW! The glycolic side was DEFINITELY the winner!!!
And this is why I always check for the "Angie seal of approval" before buying products! Great video!
This is one of the best product reviews I’ve ever seen. I mean that. Succinct, unfiltered/useful before and After’s, unbiased... 🙏👏🏼
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I didn't know there was any hope for my crepey skin. I'm going right out to buy the glycolic.
Wow! Thank you so much for the comparison. Being 60 yrs old i am looking like a wrinkled dry orange peel. This gives me encouragement.
Angie! This video and your dedication are so awesome, and I am incredibly thankful! The results you've had are so impressive. This is, again, something I'm going to be adding to my routine thanks to you. I'm not yet over 50 (36), but I do have crepey skin and laxity issues from losing a large amount of weight. So much of what you've recommended has helped my skin so much. Thanks again for all your hard work!
I'll just say this - keep doing whatever you're doing. After looking back at some of your videos from 5 years ago it's clear that you are looking younger. I really appreciate that you are sharing what works - and what doesn't. Thanks so much!
Thanks Angie! How often did you use these lotions? I'm going to get on board with the Glycolic Acid.
Every day after my shower.
Great. Thanks for the info!
I just can't thank you enough for your research. You save us so much time and money.
Hi Angie. I just wanted to say thank you so much for doing this video for us.

Thank you for taking the time to do these experiments and provide pictures. Your presentations are so professional. You provide good info, you get to the point (unlike many other TH-cam presenters who ramble on and on before getting to the point of the video).
excellent video. I work at ulta, on the Prestige products and was using Exuviance. I will definitely be buying the Alpha lotion instead!
I love the exuviance toner. That's all I"ll continue with. LOL
for the first time (at 55) , I very started to take care of my skin, thanks to you, and your trials, I know what products to look for. . I should have started 20 years ago, but I didn't think I could understand look worse, ha I was wrong!
I'm so glad you did this. thank you. I have the glycolic but was gonna order the Paula's,choice next. I think im changing my mind..
Your attention to detail always impresses me, Angie. Your photos speak volumes!! Hooray for the less expensive, and more effective product. Blessings...MaryEllen

Katie J. I love it too! I've been using the 10% Gel, but want to try the 14% serum.
Do you also use retin a? Does glycolic acid give the same reults without peeling and redness?
Katie J. I Love Alpha Skincare
Oh my gosh, Angie girl, my hats off to you for your bravery! I have resorted to Capri length shorts, nothing above the knee & 3/4 sleeves. I am soon to be 58 young, 5'6", 115 lbs.

I LOVE that glycol lotion, I just bought some for my parents yesterday, my dad has the KP on his arms and I want to see if this helps him~ great video!! ❤️ Lisa
Hi Lisa~ You can also try Amlactin for the KP, it has salicylic acid instead of glycolic. They have it at costco! xo ~angie
HotandFlashy i should try this, i have a spot on my arm that bugs me!! i dont know if its an age spot or birth mark!!
I'll get that one, too! Thank you! 😊
Sarah, I took a spot off my arm with compound W. (I have a video.) It has come back a little..so I need to do it again.

Hi Angie,
I agree about the glycolic. I think it looks better than the PC. You look great as always
Hugs, Stacy
LOVE your videos!! SO many people either forget or WANT to not think about them and hide these problems of aging, but I love that you tackle it head on, full force and test just what shows results and not just results but the BEST results and having it be affordable makes it even sweeter! Love that we have someone who knows what we are dealing with and helps us not just look our best but be and feel our best!
Any advice for crepe eye lids?

I have to say I've noticed some improvement in my crepey eyelids also from retin-a and using the SkinCeuticals A.G.E Eye Complex :)

Nice to know that it doesn't have to cost a fortune to get good results especially when my $$ are short and every penny has to be spent wisely and with good value. Thanks Angie.
I've been using the Alpha lotion for a couple of months and love it. Great price point too! ☺~Holly
I was glad to see the results. I love glycolic acid products.
Excellent video !! For such an inexpensive product this glycolic lotion is impressive !! Hopefully I can get it in Canada 😉👌 Thank you Angie xo
Marie Josee Pitre , if you get in Canada, would you let me know where. I will try to find out for myself as well of course
Vanessa Prado de Sauerbrey Hi ! I just clicked on Angie's link for Ulta and found out that they now ship to Canada !! YAYY !! On amazon.ca I saw the price was as high as 60$, even more, and on Ulta it's not even 25$, so it is pretty darn good !! Happy Ulta shopping !! 😉👍
Marie Josee Pitre , I am in Canada too, if you find it please let me know. Thank you.
Suzanne Marie Ulta now ships in Canada !
Good to know- I am a fellow Canadian.
I really thought before watching this that the retinal side would work better, but after watching this I think that they both worked but the glycolic side worked even better. Thank you so much for all that you do! Your dedication is outstanding! Don't feel worried about your before pics because your beautiful and probably look better than most women half your age.
Walgreens has a dupe for the ALPHA HYDROX face cream, 8% acid, I think it is? 12 or 8......... Just test it in a small patch first, because AHA can cause irritation if you're not used to it, I don't remember if it has avocado oil, in case anyone is allergic. But it's really great!
I use that one on my face and neck and really like the results. The cream is Walgreens brand, 7.8% glycolic acid, I believe it is a 4 oz jar and very affordable at $10. A little goes a long way.
Pickled Ginger can this be used with retin A
Terri Endley - no idea. Google probably has info on it somewhere. Sorry.
Wow Angie! How sweet of you to go the entrails for your viewers and we really appreciate it so much. thank you so much. The Alpha is the winner for me. 👌💖
Bought the alpha with your link. Thanks for the recommendation and all you do.
Thanks for using my link Shelley! I hope you like the lotion!!
I will give you an update once I have used it for a month or so Angie.
Just placed an order thru yr link for the Alpha gycolic. Thank you so much for yr honest review and photos. Real people real photos with no filter or touch ups are very rare these days on you tube Angie, and I am sure all yr subscribers appreciate yr honesty xxxx
Thank you Angie very helpful.
I've been using the Alpha glycolic acid for two months, and wow! Yes, I noticed a difference in my skin right away... much smoother. I bought mine on Amazon. 👍🏻 Thanks Angie!
I love the WD Own your age. I like the outfit and the beauty tips.You look great. Have a good day!
Thank you! It was so exciting seeing the full page feature!!
I've been waiting for this video since you mentioned it months ago!!! I've already ordered the glycolic lotion. I think you are stunning, but I know it's hard to put your picture out there for people to scrutinize. Thank you for your thorough reviews. You are the best!
I often look down at my arms and think, "Who's arm is this? This can not be mine!"
DITTO
I think that when i look in the mirror! lol
Same with my thighs!
I just noticed this on my thighs this month! WTH! Just purchased the Donell AHA 20 Face and Body Care Exfoliating Body Moisturizer Body Tingle. Only because of the higher glycolic acid percentage.
Angie I’ve been using Amlactin with good results, it has 12% lactic acid; but I don’t like its amonia- like smell so I’ll try the Alpha instead. I love your reviews!
Ugh I can't use retinoids with my medicine so it's glycolic for me anyway!
I am glad you posted this. I am 39 and starting to get more serious about my skin care. I have been wanting a good lotion to keep my skin looking young. I unfortunately don't have the best skin on my arms or legs or hands
I don't want to loom older than I am. I will be trying this soon. Thanks again. love that I can get it from Amazon to.
thanks Angie for being our "boots on the ground"
I love glycolic especially on my heels and 12% is the best!! It just makes rough feet disappear! Thank you or showing this product cause the value is amazing ! Thanks again Angie!! And your pictures were great...You are very dedicated! And we all appreciate it!! xoxoxoxoxo Hugs!! Carol
I just love you and your channel, Angie, but I think you are too hard on yourself. You said your knees looked horrible, but mine look worse and I didn't they think they looked too awful until you called yours horrible lol!! Now I need to learn to not compare or get a boatload of that lotion hahaha
You’re the best ! I use the Alpha one thanks to you. It helps me with my solar keratosis. It makes them less rough and bumpy. I am very bad to forget to put it on. I hate that the price is so high. But it does last a while. I think I’ll try both now. It couldn’t hurt. Thank you for all your time and hard work 🥰
Thank you! I purchased the Alpha skin care and I see a difference! Love you! I work out, eat right and the crepe skin was making me sad. I am smiling again! THANK YOU!
Another research and review that truly showcases why I have such high regard for your opinions and recommendations.
Thanks so much for this. I have searched and searched for something to help with my crepey skin!!! Very helpful.
Thank you for trying these over a longer time period and posting your results. Much appreciated!
Can I use one day glycolic and the next day retinol and alternate between the two?
WOW! The glycolic performed better all the way around! Love the price point as well!! Thank you for taking the time and tracking your results over 6 months. You must be a very organized and detailed person! I really appreciate your efforts Angie! Thanks for showing the pictures! Huge hugs!!
I use the alpha and I love it! I have also used the Paula,s choice, but it did nothing for my skin. Thank you so much for the closeup pictures! Do not feel timid,,,even young peoples skin looks eerie closeup!
As a young person, I decided to follow you because I have EDS. I don't have much collagen in my body naturally. Retinol saved my life! :0 Thank you for talking about all things anti- age!
I'm getting the Alpha Skin Care Re=vitalizing Body Lotion today. Amazing results! Thank you!
Aloha Angie! This is a very impressive video. Thanks so much for your dedication. My legs have always been one of my very best and sexiest "features" but I have to say now that I'm near my 70 year mark, I have to admit I cover them up more often than not. So sad...mostly because I really don't like my vanity regarding my crepey skin, something so trivial in the big scheme of things. I really do admire women who go out with arms a flapping and legs a waving in the breeze full on. That is confidence in and embracing their True Feminity. I keep working on it. Getting better.... thanks again!!!!
MUCH credit for seeing your honesty (embarrassment?) on camera in disliking your 'old person's skin' and doing it anyway. You really have helped me and continue to help me with your suggestions and comparisons as I try to keep my skin youthful. Thank you so much Angie. You are wonderful! {{Hugs}}
Angie I love the way you do the comparision with pictures, you really put some reasearch, thank you very much. 😘
My Alpha came in the mail today! Thanks for the recommendation... I used it today and love it...my Skin still feels moisturized 10 hours later. Can't wait to see the long term results. Love your reviews, so informative and appreciate the REAL reviews with detailed before and afters.
Yes, your video was very informative. Just goes to show you... more expensive doesn't mean it's the best. Thank you, Angie.
First let me say that you are looking fantastic Angie, the years seem to be falling away and I'm sure that many others would totally agree. This video is really great and at 4 mos short of 70 the skin on my body needs help. I will certainly give it a try, probably the glycolic because of the price difference. Thanks for going out of your comfort zone in showing these before and afters, seeing is so much more helpful than just hearing someone's verbal recommendations! 🤗
Thank you very much for your seriously professional commitment to bringing us the most honest, tried and tested reviews. I also loved your camera and light set up video. Something about it was so much more encouraging to someone who would love to start a channel. Having watched others as this is something I'd love to do, I've always felt they were sort of either holding something back or could have explained things much better like you did eg how the auto focus actually works rather than just saying it. Thanks again, from Australia xx
Wow. Sold on the Alpha !! I have never once used a product like this on my body but I need to start, I will be 42 this summer!
I had to stop the video half way through to order the Alpha skin care lotion from Amazon! My skin looks exactly like your before photos. Thank you for this great video. Take care - Barbara
