How many of you guys use AHA as a nightly moisturizer, somewhere around once every 3 days and have gotten nice results from it? Or is it better to use everynight, every other night, once a week, twice a day. Ah im just bored, im sure it varies between people, but go ahead tell me how you use your AHA and how well it works for ya ; )

I use it twice a day morning and night but not on my acne just where i have red marks left over. Been using it for about 2 weeks now and have seen slight improvement in red marks, but nothing significant.

I find that the best way to use it is two or three times a week, at night. I used it every day when I first got it, and my skin got a wee bit irritated, so I cut back a little, and found that it actually worked better for me when I only used it a few times a week. A few other people have had the same experience.

I wouldn't recommend using it twice a day as a moisturizer. There is such a thing as over-exfoliating. If you're only using it for spot treating, though, I suppose you could get away with doing it twice a day.

Even if it is where BP is not applied? I will go to use it only 3 or 4 times a week and see what happens. Last thing i want to do is create more irratation :S

Yeah I think im going to do it once every other day, sometimes skipping a day. I really do enjoy the AHA as a nightly moisturizer, it feels great. The tingling sensation is also very pleasant haha.

Yeah, BP or no BP, AHA is strong stuff, and it can be irritating if used too frequently.

I use it every night. It works well for my red marks.
