| Pros | NONE. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Will burn your skin, literally if you aren't careful. |
| Bottom line | This product burned my skin. I'm not sure how, but it did. I am using Tazorac at night and have been for several months and was going to use an AHA moisturizer in the mornings as a way to fade pigmentation, and oh look what it did? BURNED MY FACE. BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN USING THIS PRODUCT. If you are on ANY retinoid (differin, tazorac, or retin-a) DO NOT USE THIS. Mine is healing now thankfully, but I am going to try and sue this company for NOT displaying the percentage of glycolic acid in the lotion. |

| Pros | Clears up acne Makes skin smooth Could be more expensive |
|---|---|
| Cons | Smell is a bit off-putting Initial sting |
| Bottom line | Using this lotion (in conjuction with a gentle cleanser) twice a day has quickly cleared up my acne. I have been seeing a dermatologist for almost 12 years, and nothing has ever worked this well (including accutane!). I even strayed from the routine for about a week, and I broke out significantly. I definitely recommend this to someone with light-moderate acne that hasn't been able to be solved with any thing else. This really worked miracles for me. |

| Pros | It works!!! Smooths and clears skin Evens out skin tone Reduces time it takes for pimples to heal |
|---|---|
| Cons | Burns at first (a lot the first couple of days, then not so much) If you use too much, it will make your face really oily |
| Bottom line | I highly recommend this product. A couple of months ago, I stopped using Proactiv. It just wasn't working for me anymore. I was experiencing more breakouts, dryness, and an uneven skin tone. To add to my frustration, I started getting cysts, too. I started doing research and read the reviews for this product. I was a bit scared to try a new moisturizer because every other moisturizer I had tried in the past made me break out. Not this one! Yay! I also bought the Anti-wrinkle, Anti-blemish face wash/cleanser (about $7.00 at Walmart). I have been using both products for just over two weeks now, and my face is really looking great! I will say that the moisturizer does sting for a few days when you first start using it - but that goes away by the end of the first week. Also, I only used it at night for two weeks, and then worked up to both day and night. You don't need much. A little goes a long way. Some people say it makes their skin too oily. At first, that happened to me, too. I tried using less product, and that made a huge difference. Bottom line... my acne was what I would consider moderate 2-1/2 weeks ago. Now it is very light. |

| Pros | ? |
|---|---|
| Cons | I applied it. It stung at 1st, now burns. My skin had no problems other then dullness from age and too much oil on my nose. But after few days of using this mornings, my face started drying. My face was soft before, It looks and feels dried out and flaking all over. If I feel my skin, its dry & coarse & rough like craters. I am on here looking up what to do to undo the damage done. I did find the ageless intensive deep wrinkle syrum was great, so I decided to try the others. Hope heals/corrects. |
| Bottom line | Dangerous medicated cream if you appreciate your looks. I wanted to improve my skin not worsen and damage it. I clicked on one on rating system only to allow me to post this review. I don't recommend it at all. |

| Cons | it burns, dryness and roughness on skin |
|---|---|
| Bottom line | so i started breaking out and i would spot treat a few areas with bp then after i would apply this stuff. it burns yes, first few days it did get rid of the redness i had from previous acne (which was about a yr ago.), but after few days of using this morning and night. my face started drying. It might have been due to the lemon and sugar scrub I used to exfoliate my face which might've intensified this product (because lemon also has AHA. But my face looks somewhat even but if you feel my skin, its not soft, its somewhat dry and coarse..or rough..point is.. its not smooth like it was before! So i stopped using this stuff last night, and will continue to monitor my skin. |

| Pros | Clears up acne. Light but effective. Anti-aging formula. Relatively cheap. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Stings initially. |
| Bottom line | I love this stuff. It's literally the only thing that keeps my adult acne at bay. I've been using it for years and I won't switch. It's cheaper than a lot of moisturizers and you can find it anywhere. It keeps my dry skin moisturized without being thick and heavy. While it does sting initially or if you haven't used it in a few days, it's really not that bad. No worse than eyebrow plucking or razor burn, and it goes away quickly. It claims to be anti-aging, and while I haven't conducted a scientific study, I know that I at nearly 30 years old still get ID'd at the liquor store every now and then. And the legal age is 19! So while I can't prove it's helping, it's certainly not hurting. |

| Pros | none |
|---|---|
| Cons | stings, makes your skin red, burns, expensive,doesnt help with flaking, irritates skin, will make you break out and leave red marks |
| Bottom line | I tried using this and I have pretty sensitive skin, used at night after bp which I use twice a day and it burns,stings and made my face really red. seemed to irritate and caused major breakout. beware if you have sensitive skin!! I now use the CereVe skin products which were recommended by my derm and work a lot better then this stuff |

| Pros | It contains Alpha Hydroxy and Vitamins, but this didn't work for me. |
|---|---|
| Cons | -It STINGS, especially when put over inflamed areas. -Thick and will leave face a bit greasy but not too much -Will not remove complete dryness -Face felt itchy after I put it on |
| Bottom line | I bought this item because I read such great reviews about it. It sounds awesome with the Alpha Hydroxy and Vitamins in it, but I had a HORRIBLE experience with this. My acne got worse after I bought it and my face become more itchy and dry. I believe it irritated my face too much. The reason could have been because I would put BP cream on areas before I used this, so perhaps the combo of this made my face react badly. Still I don't want to use this anymore. It doesn't get rid of dryness and itchiness completely and it leaves a bit of a greasy feeling on your face. If you're looking for Alpha Hydroxy use Organic Apple Cider Vinegar instead of this. It would be a good idea to test this out on your skin before you put it all over your face. Test it for a week on a certain patch of your skin to see if it makes it better or worse. |

| Pros | Quick-acting formula Clears acne Softens skin Smooths complexion |
|---|---|
| Cons | STINGS! |
| Bottom line | This is an extremely fast-acting face lotion. I was a bit sceptical at first, but ended up buying it for the hefty price of $19.20CDN (incl. tax). I used it after cleansing my face just before bed, and when I woke up this morning, MAN. I was shocked. A lot of my redness had settled down, and even though I could still feel slight bumpiness of my acne, it looked like it had cleared at least half of it. The con is that it does sting, like many people have said before. I thought my skin was going to burn off my face, which isn't the best feeling to go to sleep with; but I was in such a great mood in the morning! :) No pain, no gain. |
