Anonymous, springfield, MO Oct 25th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Easy to use, less steps than other lines, skin is smoother and pores smaller, skin was clean. Cons: Some overdrying if you don't use the moisturizer. The packageing I don't like putting back on the twist lids canisters. I wasnt looking for a miracle fix. Still had to use an extra acne product or use peroxide as a toner during break outs. Bottom Line: Good basic skin care with a little extra for them people that have to have it. I buy the packages which makes it easier. I used it for 3 years then left it to try a couple others, due to excessive breakouts but found out they were due to stress caused hormones, and now have more scars due to taking longer to heal. I'm starting it again as soon as my order arrives. Recommended: Yes Price Paid: 23.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Linda, TX Aug 20th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: gets rid of dry skin, is used on dry to normal skin you need to use a moisturizer afterwards if it dries out your skin. Cons: if you have oily skin and acne, use the Gel it works great, my dd has used everything on her face for acne and she uses the gel twice a day and her face is look great Bottom Line: I am 56 and use the entire line, my dd 15 uses the acne line and we are very satisfied Recommended: Yes Usage: Linda has used this item for about a year.

Guy, LA,CA Aug 15th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Works well, helps clear skin and improve skin texture Cons: smells terrible Bottom Line: So far so good with this product. I don't understand why so many people are saying it burns, I do feel a very very very minor tingling sensation and my face feels a bit tighter but other then that it's all good. I suppose my skin isn't as sensitive as some people, so maybe it's different for everyone. I would recommend giving this product a try if you can find it, even if it doesn't work for you it's cheap so there's not too much of a loss. Just for those who're curious: I have very minor acne at the age of 25, but in the past I had bad acne so I have a good deal of very faded scarring. This product has helped clear up a lot of the non-pitted scars and made the pores on my face much less visible. I can't really say how well this works for active acne, though.

lannin, Canada Jul 6th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: moisturizing, helped with whiteheads Cons: Gave me blackheads!! I used this on my chest and I suddenly got blackheads on my collar!! They are starting to go away now that I am using other products but wft! Bottom Line: I would not use this product. I dont know what it is about this product but if you are blackhead prone I would steer clear. Recommended: No Usage: lannin has used this item for a few weeks.

Mila, Florida Jun 19th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: it cleared up my complexion Cons: down side it caused tiny bumps to come all over my cheeks and forehead, places where I would never get acne before. I would only get cyctic acne sprouts, and since going to the dermatologist they have just made my skin worse. It is now extra sensitiv Bottom Line: I would suggest going back to the basics, my skin everywhere else is clear yet my face which I have been using all this crap on that makes it dry and irritated. It works then as soon as I am off, it stops. Usage: Mila has used this item for a few weeks. Price Paid: 11.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Des, Washington, DC May 21st, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Scars are fade, bump free Cons: Smell Bottom Line: Who cares about the smell. This works. Its working very well. I use it only on my back. My back has had breakouts for years. Leaving behind black spots. I had cystic bumps on my back as well. Painful as well. Three weeks ago I began putting this on my back. I forget to put it on twice a day sometimes. Guess what? I haven't seen a bump since using it. It just does the job. Why does it help reduce spots? I dont know but it does. One day I will be able to wear a tub or halter top again with pride. Recommended: Yes Usage: Des has used this item for a few weeks. Price Paid: 11.99 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

CM, Indiana May 16th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Big bottle for what it costs, easily ordered on the company's own website or drugstore-com, helped clear up my cracked heels Cons: Smells bad to me, feels oily, enlarged my facial pores, packaging doesn't protect contents well from air etc. Bottom Line: First of all, the reviews for this product need to be sorted through, because a lot of reviews under this product listing are actually talking about different products, including alpha hydrox's 12% souffle, alpha hydrox's 8% exfoliating cream, and apparently dan's own aha cream. This makes it confusing to get an accurate impression of any one particular product. I am talking about Alpha Hydrox's AHA Enhanced Lotion: It is more oily than is good for my skin, which makes sense, as it's for dry/normal skin. Within 2 days I had increased blackheads and larger pores, plus red spots. I am 42 and have been using Neutrogena's healthy skin lotion for 10 years, so it's not like I'm not used to AHAs. I am trying to find a replacement for the Neutrogena because they've stopped making the version without sunscreen, and I am allergic to the chemical sunscreens they use in the spf version. This Enhanced Lotion is not going to be a good replacement, I find. Recommended: No Usage: CM has used this item for about a week. Price Paid: 12.00 Acne severity: light Was this comment helpful?

Taylor, Panama city,fl Apr 23rd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Clears acne Cons: Stings if used with some products Bottom Line: Great for acne , but beware of the sting! Recommended: Yes Usage: Taylor has used this item for about a year. Price Paid: 15.00 Acne severity: very light Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Veronica, San Francisco, CA Apr 16th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: this WORKS!! Coming off of birth control made my skin explode and this took me back to normal and fades scars in just WEEKS. Cons: Can't wear it during the day with anything else bc it seems to ball up no matter what. Tube is annoying to use and cap broke off in a place...a pump would be better IMO. Bottom Line: If you're not sure whether to try this...TAKE A CHANCE! It's worth it. Or atleast it was for me. I took a shot and it is now my HG staple in my skin care. Nothing and i mean NOTHING fades scars as well as this has. Also, it prevents pimples from forming into those huge monsters and noticeably shortens the lifespan/lifecycle of the pimple. Thanks Dan! This is by far your best product IMO, you are amazing! I love not worrying about my skin anymore <3 Recommended: Yes Usage: Veronica has used this item for a few months.

AA, NC Mar 21st, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Affordable, did not sting too much on my skin and was not oily, rather very hydrating. Have only used it maybe 4 to 6 times now, but see a slight change in acne scars. Cons: hard to get, but luckily live near an Ulta store..... Bottom Line: I did not have to use a moisturizer on top. The next day however my skin feels a little bit dry but I put more moisturizer on those areas. Lighter acne scars and smaller pores. I think I have to use it longer to see more change so I will come here in a few weeks and post my comments. Note: normal skin type, with some breakouts around my period. Recommended: Yes Usage: AA has used this item for a few weeks. Price Paid: 12.00 Acne severity: light Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)
