Anonymous, Washington, DC Jun 30th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: I've been using this for about 4 days. May have slightly helped a couple of dying zits on my face. No fragrance. Light lotion that absorbs fairly easily and quickly. Cons: Stings slightly. Turns my skin red. I put this on a couple of newly forming zits and it seems to have made them bigger and redder. I'm hoping that it's just accelerating their progress... fingers crossed. Bottom Line: It's a nice light lotion that absorbs well, but also causes stinging and redness. I guess it's a little too early for me to tell exactly how well this works, but so far I've been a little disappointed, given the rave reviews many other people here. Usage: Reviewer has used this item for about a week. Price Paid: 8.00 Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Pros: It made my blackheads disappear, thats the only good thing about this product. Cons: It made my pores big & when i got a pimple it just got bigger. Breakout alittle. Made my face very oily. Bottom Line: I won't prefer it if you have combination & acne-prone skin like me. I'm goig to try the Alpha Hydrox AHA Souffle 12% Glycolic AHA. It got lots of good reviews from people with the same kind of skin like me. Usage: Reviewer has used this item for a few weeks. Price Paid: 16.00 Was this comment helpful?

Pros: I haven't seen a difference Cons: leaves your skin feeling oily, but I have oily skin so I guess it always feels oily. stings in the beginning but goes away Bottom Line: I've been using the souflee 12% for about a few weeks now and i haven't noticed really any difference. i have combo skin with lots of little scars and dark spots from when my acne was really bad, and lots of the usual blackheads on the nose cheeks and forehead. I break out a lot around my chin, and the souflee didn't really seem to do anything. it didn't do anything bad either, but i've also been changing my birth control recently so i'm wondering if that affected my testing of the souflee. i'm going to keep with it though so hopefully it'll have results!

af, texas Apr 10th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: the lower 8% strength works just as well as higher strengths and will eventually clear out pores (blackheads, whiteheads). Cons: Can cause some acne flaring unless you have been using an antibacterial product for a while first. Bottom Line: Start slowly. My derm advised me to use A-Cute Derm brand B-Kleer Pads (8% AHA) oily skin formula once a day for 8 weeks then increase to twice a day if there are no signs of irritation. A little flaking at first is okay, but major stinging, redness, and peeling are all signs that the product is too strong. Also, if you have massive amounts of flaking this can backfire and plug-up pores even more. It takes a long time to clear up blocked pores so be patient. Also a facial twice a month of steaming and extractions only helps a lot to speed up the results, then the AHA should maintain open pores. This is a great alternative to BHA exfoliants if you are prone to dryness or are allergic to asprin. Recommended: Yes Usage: af has used this item for a few months.

Wendy, Indiana Apr 8th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: I am 45 and have used this line for 7 years. I do not have wrinkles and have a perfectly smooth neck. Love the 12% soufle (sp). Don't know what I would do without it. I use it after every shower, on moist, warm skin. I don't wear makeup. Cons: Hard to find. Walmart stopped carrying it. I get it at Walgreens. Bottom Line: I don't know what I would do without it. I am asked constantly by new people, how old I am and stun them everytime. I don't use soap on my face. Just the Alpha Hydrox products after I shower.

Dave, Ira, MI Feb 11th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Anonymous, Boston, MA Dec 12th, 2006 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: It does help renew and smooth out skin, and get rid of blackheads. Pores are smaller. Red marks go away faster. Cons: The slight stinging. Hard to find-- it was really fashionable for a while, but fell out of favor for some reason. (Annoying: more stuff to put on your face!) Bottom Line: You need to use this stuff for longer than a few days to see a difference! Don't discount the stuff until you have tried it for a while. I also had some flare-ups at first, but it did help my skin look a lot smoother. It did not make all of my acne go away. Recommended: Yes Price Paid: 12.00 Was this comment helpful?

Kathy, Atlanta, GA Dec 9th, 2006 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Doesn't overdry, leaves my skin glowing and smooth. Got rid of stubborn comedones that have been on my forehead almost immediately. Cons: Hard to find, packaging could be better. Burns a little bit. Causes a bit of purging, nothing to cry over when the rest of my skin looks smoother and clearer. Bottom Line: I am reviewing the aha soufflee at 12% strength. I used benzaclin in the past and it really seemed to damage my skin. Gave me fine lines on my forehead and around my mouth. So I have been using this and my lines have already diminished. I really like it. I use it all over at night and spot treat with benzaclin gel. My skin is looking good so far! Recommended: Yes Usage: Kathy has used this item for a few weeks.
