Make sure you aren't rubbing it in to hard. At first I slightly massaged it in and it worked great but I figured if I did it harder, the red marks would fade quicker and I broke out a little bit. I would try to be easy with the stuff and depending on your skin, continue to spot treat with what ever product you use prior and moisturize.

/Prone, a MIN?

A minute???

 

Well, I hope to keep using AG for at least 2 weeks before deciding whether or not I should drop it or not.. I'm using this product morning, after sports, and before sleep.

And it makes me look great... Red marks ARE fading a bit, I can tell, but I'm still breaking out in little whiteheads around my mouth and near my cheeks.. Oh well, it's only been 3 days.

Yeah, I think it was just a typo....

alex, washing 3x= no..... Try washing only 2x a day, morning and bedtime, just wash your face with water after sports....

are the brown and black marks acne related?

if yes, then it will work because the discoloration is just a build up of dead skin cells and aqua glycolic lifts off the dead skin cells.

Yes, it's not just for red marks, I myself have brown marks and not red marks.

Ok, so I have been using just Dan's cleanser and BP for a while and have had pretty good success keeping down the acne, but obviously the redmarks remain. If I do this cleanser, will I have good results with just the cleanser? Nothing else, my acne isn't severe so I don't need too much stuff but I was wondering if the cleanser can keep acne down with the same results as BP?

I use the cleanser and face cream, lol I think I'm the only person who even got the cream. Sometimes cleansers only do so much, you need something that stays on your face for hours. BP and glycolic acid are quite different, you should just get it to see ifyou get the same results, some say you don't and some say you do, but yeah you'll have to do a trial with it. GL

Ok, I have to say I'm not quite getting the results I get from Alpha-Hydrox from the face cream, I don't think I see any results actually, from the face cream or cleanser. As for the cleanser, after rinsing I don't really get that clean, un-oily feeling I do when I use Basis Cleanser, my skin still feels the same as when I didn't wash it with AG cleanser. HMMM>>.<<<..

I finally received mine several days ago.. First time I used it, I noticed the incredible smoothness of my skin. A couple days into it (Just after I had gotten my hopes up) I began to have a slight IB -- Which I had completely expected. I mean, there's crap in your pores, it has to go away somehow, right?

 

I use J&J Baby Wash to remove my makeup (I just feel more comfortable knowing my skin is clean before exfoliating with the AG, you know? Plus, I wear lots of eye makeup..), wait for my skin to dry, then apply the AG as directed. While my face is still wet, I massage in 3-5 drops of Jojoba Oil and then massage a drop of Tea Tree Oil over that (Applying TTO first burns my skin)

 

Each day since my mini-IB, I have been noticing the best looking skin I have had in YEARS. Small bumps are smoothing out, skin is tighter, pores are shrinking, and best of all .. Those horrific redmarks left behind from my recent BP obsession are already beginning to fade! I pray to any existing God that I am not jinxing it by even mentioning my results thus far..

 

If this continues to work, I'm going to write to the company, write to .. Lots of people. Everyone deserves to have clear skin. Everyone should know about it. It's worth a shot, if anything.

It depends where you live. I would try walmart, check the pharmacy...I live in Texas and they didnt have it at walgreens.

call me a pussy but...i stopped use of this product. I couldn't take it anymore. i used it for 1 week and each day it broke me out with atleast 2 more lesions each day. so i switched to my normal head and shoulders shampoo cleanser (the onyl thing that has EVER worked on my face) and i haven't broke out since so I think I'll keep it that way.

I use it twice a day, and its great.

Though I got my first breakout on sunday... but I think it may be because I skipped out that morning on washing.... but I doubt it. I havent gotten any breakouts since I started, so this is expected... On the whole though, its working great. I sure hope this can end my acne, im tired of this shit.

so let me get this straight..... u squeeze it out of the bottle, apply and work it in on your skin without water..... then wet your hand and face and continue to work it in, and then rinse off?

 

Ive read that people leave it on for 5,10,20, even 30 minutes before rinsing.... can anyone elaborate? or can all the sucessors tell explain how you guys are doing it currently?

I keep it on for a few minutes before rinsing off.

Not 30 minutes, but a few minutes, just until it starts burning.

I massage it in for maybe 30 seconds or so, add water to my hands, massage again, then rinse. I don't leave it on for any longer than that.

I've been using the cleanser for exactly 1 week now. After an amazing initial improvement, the past three days I've been breaking out pretty badly. My red marks are healing much faster by using this cleanser but I am worried with the amount of new acne I am getting. Suggestions? Should I keep with it or should I heed the warning signs and stop? I've ordered the Aqua Glycolic Toner as well, it should be arriving tomorrow. Aqua Glycolic recommends the toner as a solution for problematic skin.
