| ALPHA-H Liquid Gold
Alpha-H Liquid Gold is an award-winning solution that works like an overnight facial to boost radiance and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, hyper-pigmentation, scarring and breakouts. It is suitable for acne-scarred, mature, sun-damaged or aging skin. It can be used as a toner, exfoliator, serum or moisturiser for the purpose of achieving a youthful-looking complexion.
Enriched with 5% Cosmetic Grade Glycolic Acid and liquorice, Liquid Gold aids in the removal of dead skin cells and minimises pigmentation. It also delivers intense hydration for a smoother, decongested skin.
Instructions for use: Apply using a cotton pad to cleansed face, neck and décolletage, avoiding the eye and lip areas. Once your skin is dry follow with moisturiser. An intensive overnight treatment can be applied and left during the night without the application of moisturiser.

My two cents:
When I read the title of the product, I had automatically assumed that this product contained some bits of gold (disclaimer: it doesn't). When I read the description, it sounded really amazing and got me all excited. When I finally tried it, I was stunned by the overwhelming alcoholic scent – it smelled more like a bottle of Jack Daniel's than a beauty product.
I will be honest and admit that unless a product is a makeup remover, I personally dislike using a cotton pad to apply any form of skincare product. Reason being that no matter how well you keep your cotton pads, they will never be as clean as a pair of freshly-washed hands.
That aside, let's talk about the actual product. I tried it on for about a week. The first day of usage, I did the intensive overnight treatment and felt that it was a tad too strong and drying – checked the ingredient list and realised that "alchohol denat" was the second component on the list. Hence for the rest of the nights, I followed up the usage of Liquid Gold with my own moisturiser.
I didn't see a big difference in the firming or removal of scars, however I did notice that my face was a lot more soother and appeared to be clearer and fuller – brownie points for that!
Is it worth paying sixty over dollars for this product? I'll leave you to decide on that.

My two cents:
This is one product that I would like to rave about and STRONGLY encourage that you try!!!
As I enter the last month of my second trimester and creep into my third, I am beginning to experience poor sleep due to my baby's kicks or pregnancy insomnia. I started to develop horribly dark eye circle – they are so bad that the veins under my eyes were visible.
I hadn't a solution before, none of the other eye creams that I possessed did a thing. Thus I could merely tolerate and dab on more concealer so as to avoid looking like ju-on.
It all changed when I tried out this Caudalie Eye Cream. I was skeptical at first, but all it took was a night to make me a strong believer. The fine wrinkles around my eyes vanished, the puffiness had significantly reduced and the dark circles faded.
I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me, and so I roped in my husband – who has serious eye bag issues – to be the second guinea pig. After his first trial night, he too was converted and became a loyal fan of the product. His eye bags were GONE!!!
If you are looking to get an eye cream, invest in Caudalie VineActiv Energizing and Smoothing Eye Cream.
