Pros:

doesn't clog pores
regular use prevents most acne
makes skin look years younger
erases fine lines
peeling is light

Cons:

drying if overused
can only find mail-order
takes a while to really work 2 months for resurfaced skin

Great for people who can't use moisturizer. I use this or AH souffle every day Others notice my nice skin for the first time ever Order from Neoteric (they make it) it is cheaper, good deals, free shipping over $35.

Pros:

Prevents a breakout from getting out of control -helps keep it below the surface.

Cons:

not cheap

I put this on my face after I use Dan's BP. If I see any pimples under my skin starting to rise, the AHA really prevents it from coming to the surface. Also exfoliates. I think it also helps improve the appearance of my scars/pink spots.

Pros:

It is like some kind of magic bullet for an upcoming cystic blemish. It either never appears, or cuts the recovery time in half.

Cons:

I use the souffle which is a little thick.

I wouldn't be without it. Love it.

Pros:

great product. all the reviews got me curious. after a week an old friend stopped by work and commented on how young i look!!!!! i can see a definite difference in the size of my pores and the clearness of my skin

Cons:

so far, no problems here. some slight stinging but nothing drastic.

bottom line is that it is worth the low cost in comparison with all other high priced products; this is a definite must in my beauty treasures. i have been through some different items and i don't think i can find anything better right now. i love it!!!!!!!!!!!

Pros:

Works great on my face; really affordable!

Cons:

Souffle testure is kind of like whipped moisture cream (though it's oil-free)

ALERT: I am writing about the new Alpha Hydrox 12% souffle, which is much stronger than the traditional 8%. I have contacted Dan so he can make a new category for this item. I am 45 but have the skin of a teen, always have...the trade-off for bad acne when young is that you have far fewer wrinkles when you are older! Anyway, this product clears my acne AND my deep cysts, I always seem to have at least one deep cyst somewhere on my face at all times. Additional benefit is that tone and texture improves. For me it took about 4 days to start to "see the glow". Reminder: drink lots of water and cleanse your colon!

Great for scar reduction -- did nothing for acne
This was a great cosmetic product for enhancing skin turnover, reducing the appearance of scars, wrinkles, and lightening acne related hyperpigmentation. I cannot, however, recommend it for clearing acne breakouts. It appeared to do nothing for either my acne or razor bumps.

Pros:

doesn't cost too much

Cons:

gave me a huge rash

I've been applying this for about a week and a half to try to even out my skin tone. At first I saw some improvement, but 2 nights ago I noticed a rash starting to form. I continued using the product and now the rash is getting bigger. I know that usually products make your skin worse before it gets better but I will most likely stop usage. Everyone's different, maybe I had an allergic reaction.

Pros:

Cost effective, wonderful results.

Cons:

Stinging on my face afte I apply souffle.

I am still thinking about using this long term. I have seen great results, but I am concerned about the stinging even though it is short lived and not painful.
