Pros:It's not a cure all, but can make skin smoother and clearer.
Cons:May take a while to work. Can sting.
Bottom Line:When I started using this years ago, because nothing else was working, it did help my skin become smoother, which I was very happy with. However, it did not clear it up entirely. I do have a LOT fewer blackheads and whiteheads,my skin is smoother, and I have been happy with the result. It can work well-- to the individual that asked, presumably it causes renewal of the skin, which is why it can help clear up the skin, and/or keep skin fresh vs. wrinkles.
I HIGHLY recommend it, but want to stress it's not a cure-all, it takes some getting used to, and it requires use for more than a couple of days.
Recommended:Yes

Pros:feels like its working when it stings a bit
Cons:hmm none
Bottom Line:i didnt use the enhanced lotion i went to rite aid and saw the souffle' 12% glycolic acid and used it last night on two underground spots that i created when there was nothing there to begin with...stupid i know...anyways, they ended up being balloon sized at the end of the day, so picked the souffle' up and this morning all better already, well they're almost gone! it's great stuff and it's only been one night. wow hopefully it works well for every1
Usage:ariel has used this item for a day or two.

Pros:no pros
Cons:way too thick and smell is so so
Bottom Line:I used the souffle as a spot treatment and it was horrible. A pimple I had grew into a huge cyst that took almost 2 weeks to go away and now I have a dark scar left over. I probably should have tried it on less noticeable pimples first. I tried it as a moisturizer as well and it was too thick but it didn't really stop the flakes either. I'm trying cetaphil moisturizing cream now and so far it has been doing well but in the neck area. I'll let yall know how it works in the face area. Later

Pros:Helps fade remarks
Cons:burns a little
Bottom Line:Ok this is my update i've been on it for over a 2months now and my red marks are fading little by little. I have now instead of just putting this one by itself put BP then 1 hour later this lotion but be warned this will make your face turn red but once you wash it off in the morning its not that bad. i'd so go for it people but for those with deeper scars i'm not sure if this will really help but its worth the try.

Pros:Parts of my skin that don't have acne it looks amazing.
Cons:it does feel like my skin is purging quit a bit. I'm not sure if this is normal but I will continue to use for a couple weeks.
Bottom Line:My skin does feel much smoother and I have a lot of hope for the acne to disappear. I haven't been using it long enough to really see if it works. I will write back in a couple weeks. The packaing does state that some blemishes my occur.

I wouldn't really recommend this for the entire face at once its more of a spot thing. If you put it on a pimple it will grow basically it feeds it from the looks of it. Though it didn'tat all break me out.

Pros
leaves skin smooth

cons
only had it for 2-3 weeks now i'll tell you if it really helps with red marks later on

I've been using this line for 10 years. I'm 48, and not a line on my face. Can I attribute this totally to this line of products? I don't know, but I'm not about to find out either!

I was having a terrible time with flaky skin, so I decided to try the souffle AHA. This is the second day and I've noticed a huge difference in my skin. Already much smoother and hardly any flakes! It did sting like hell the first time, but I think I used too much. My skin is pretty sensitive, so I'll probably only use this in the morning and use the BP at night. But so far so good :)

actually instead of buying the aha enhancing lotion, i bought the aha soufle 12% glycolic acid and am using it for body and neck acne. i've been having amazing results, no redness whatsoever, a little itching initially. it's helped eliminate old scars and has really dramatically improved the clarity of my skin. i've yet to have these kind of results with any other product prescription or nonprescription that i've ever used. 3 days and i'm almost entirely clear!
