All right, cool. I think we nailed the glycolic acid (AHA).
I got another 10% glycolic acid sample about two weeks ago and have been using it since then. It’s perfect in my opinion. It goes on like a dream, absorbs quickly and well, leaves no residue, stings just the right amount, and does not leave a prolonged feel behind, which is very hard to achieve. They are sending me a couple dozen samples which I will send to moderators and our usual testers and with their go ahead I will start bottling it, perhaps in a few months. As with all of our other products, the price to produce it is high because I’m using the best stuff available. So I will probably need to charge about the same amount that I do for the moisturizer. For instance, I’m adding in lichochalcone, a very powerful anti-inflammatory which is $3000 per kilogram. I know that’s crazy expensive, but I have a very good feeling about this stuff, and we only need to use it at a very low percentage to achieve the desired anti-inflammatory action. It may be incredible for acne prone skin. I have a sneaking suspicion that this glycolic may be a great solo body acne product. More to come…

What does AHA do? Is it to be used in addition to Dan’s regimen (which I love and follow faithfully) or does it replace his moisturizer?

I wouldn’t mind testing trial products either, like Christopher. Please send me an email, i don’t want any cash for it aswell. Just need something to clear my skin as i have had this for so many years now.

Sounds amazing, Dan!

Awesome Dan, I like the approach you’re taking with the acids of glycolic and salicylic. I would prefer to use these instead of benzoyl peroxide as they are great for the skin, I know many others who will become interested in these products when they’re available.

You had mentioned that the price for this would be about the same as the moisterizer (which, btw, I find very reasonable). Would the bottle size be the same too?

Hi Dan
I’m currently using an AHA that I found in the UK (where I live) and it works REALLY well so I’m looking forward to trying yours. Do you think we can use it over the top of the benzoyl every day on the areas that we are prone to spots or do you think that would be too irritating? Also is the SA coming out soon as I’m really keen to try that too
Thanx

Salicylic Acid really is the best way to treat acne. It causes dryness and irritation with some people though, I was searching through google for a alternative solution for acne that wouldn’t cause as much redness and i found this site:
