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!

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.

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

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 :)
