Pros As a SBA for Walgreens I have had a opportunity to try a number of products - This one has been my favorite for effectivenes. Most customers guess my age at least 15 yrs younger than actual. This not only makes me feel good but sells a product that I really believe in. Thanks Walgreens!
Cons slight tingling on first use
Bottom line There are a lot of products that help with skin care and everyone should use one that best suits thier needs. Along with cleansing, toning and moisturizing this one is a very good addition to overall care with great results.

Pros Absorbs quickly, doesn't sting, clears up skin
Bottom line I've been using this instead of BP since July, and have been very pleased with the results! I've had very few pimples since I began using it, and when I do get one it's not nearly as big or painful as the ones I had been getting. I think regular use of this product helps to prevent future breakouts well.

Plus, it's really cheap for the amount you get!

Pros light, absorbs quickly, really affordable
Cons doesn't moisturize enough
Bottom line I tried this a few nights but it doesn't moisturize enough. I use dan's bp and this is just too light to keep my combo skin moisturized. I now use dan's AHA instead and it works great!

Pros Opens clogged pores and releases eventual breakouts before they happen! Eliminates reason to squeeze blackheads. Price is so reasonable! No fuss/expensive packaging!
Cons I agree it's smelly, but a pleasant scented moisterizer put on after it's dried takes care of that.
Bottom line Have used it for nearly 20 years and honestly couldn't get by without it. Gently sloughs off surface skin so pores can release oils. Leaves you with fresh smooth complexion. Have used it on arms & hands for age spots too. Best value around!!!

Pros works fast, does not over dry, works great with oily skin, does not clog pores
Bottom line I am so happy I came across this product. I am 25 years old and I have moderate acne. I have tried many expensive prescription treatments and this is the only thing that has helped my skin. About two months ago I started on the acne.org regimen and it really helped- I would say 90% clear. I then saw that he suggested to try alpha hydroxy cream to use with the regiment. This cream was cheap so I decided to give it a shot and I am hooked! The next day I noticed my pores smaller and no blackheads- my skin is also unbelievably soft, smooth, and bright. My regimen is mornings I wash with Cetaphil and then follow with alpha hydroxy lotion (now skip the BP). Evenings wash w/ Cetaphil, followed by benzoyl peroxide, and then follow with alpha hydroxy. This is also great for controlling body acne on your chest or back.

I'm really amazed at how much better my skin looks!

Pros Doesn't dry your face, makes skin soft, seems to make skin smoother, reduces black heads, clears acne and prevents it, fades dark marks slowly but noticeably.
Cons makes my nose and forehead shiny
Bottom line I have oily skin. I have been using the Walgreens alpha hydroxy face cream for about 3-4 days. I'd been struggling with this huge breakout on my forehead for 2 months, It started with five pimples and increased to like 8 in one day, then it spread to the side of my face. I started using the AH and my skin is clearing up. Just to be specific, I wash my face in the morning with St.Ives Apricot scrub for blackheads and blemishes and Then I use the AH as a Moisturizer, it works so good...no dry or burning feeling at all. At night I wash my face with St Ives Apricot scrub Alpha Hydroxy renew and firm wash, this is also amazing. Then I pop open some vitamin E pills and rub the oil on my face as a moisturizer before bed. I'm happy to say that now My face is pimple and bump free for the first time in a long time. Im just waiting for the blemishes to completely disappear.

Pros I love it for wrinkle control. It smooths the skin and appears to remove wrinkles.
Cons first day or two redness... after that, no problem
Bottom line I am 70 years old and since I have been using this product, people always tell me how young I look. Before most people thought I was quite a bit older than I am. I bought enough to last me for a long long time.... but, I only could get the cream. I loved the lotion even better. Please bring it back or tell me how I can get it. I've been using the lotion (and the cream) for 2 or 3 years now.

Pros amazing results - affordable
Cons a little smelly - open container
Bottom line i get hyperpigmentation from acne and bought this in a feeble attempt to fix the issue. product is amazing! cleared up my face in 3 days! works wonders on big underskin pimples that refuse to clear up (takes half the time for them to disappear)...does cause some redness and stinging on application but its only temporary --- worth it to me! - minimizes pores and cleared out blackheads...i was nervous to use because its a "cream" and my skin usually breaks out from thick creams but it is not greasy and dries quick
