Acne is a thing of the past but AHA just might be FOREVER
I added this to enhance Acne.org BP effectiveness for persistent adult acne. Acne has been gone for years but this AHA -- I use it once or twice a week all over to smooth, exfoliate and fight dry, aging skin from my face to my feet. The price is right and the ingredients are non-comedogenic. Customer for life, here.

Results in ONE NIGHT!!
I've never had bad skin thankfully however, I've never had great skin. When I was younger, it was pretty greasy but I left it alone. In fact, I didn't actually start using face wash until I was 15. I didn't start wearing make up until I was 25. Even then , the use of both cleansers and cosmetics was pretty unstructured. When I got into my 30's I started "treating my skin right" and it's not been always a big help. I had a proactiv phase, because I had such congested skin. It was a beautiful few years with crystal clear, perfect skin. Then, as the story goes,all hell broke loose and my skin went to s*&#@ and I stopped using it. My skin has never been the same. For years I've spent hundreds of dollars looking for cleansers toners moisturizers and treatments that might bring back that healthy glow I had in my early 30s (unfortunately while using Proactiv) So I ordered this AHA. Salicylic acid and my skin do not get along. I find SA to be irritating and drying. However in the pursuit of clarity I tried many salicylic acid toners from Clinique to Paulas Choice to Stridex. Last night, I used this BHA after cleansing. I mixed it with my moisturizer. I woke up this morning to a more even toned complexion, lighter and slightly rosy, melasma was even faded a bit. Yes, I was dry when I woke up, but I think this aha may be what I havebeen seeking. I'll update in 3 weeks

Pros:

- cleared up my skin

Cons:

- bit expensive to add it to the regimen

Worth the money. When I added aha+ to the regimen I saw results within days. Day routine= cleanser, treatment and aha+. Night routine= cleanser, treatment and moisturizer. Btw I have spent a loooooot of money on a loooot of products and I really wish I had discovered acne. org regimen and aha+ earlier....

Pros:

WORKS WONDERS!
-Helps fight acne, helps take down cysts
-Evens out skin tone and promote renewal of skin
-Helps reduce acne scars
-Feels great on face

Cons:

-Cause temporary redness on face, especially around sensitive skin areas
-Burns if you use too much and if its your first time trying it
-Increases chances of sun burn if no sunscreen is used

I've heard about the benefits of AHA lotions on acne and I have been using Eucerin Skin Renewal AHA lotion for 5 years while on the Acne.org regimen. It was just way too greasy and shiny on my face, and it didn't work as well as this. For the last two days, I first got to try Dan's AHA+ lotion and I was just amazed, it definitely helped with my stubborn chin cysts that massively formed after I tried quitting a regimen for a few weeks (bad mistake). I can't believe I have been missing out on this, I positively think this should be a requirement for the along with the regimen. I use a decent amount (just enough for my face to handle without my face getting too red) along with my cetaphil moisturizer, and then after, I spot treat on the areas where the acne has formed.

Well the only bad about this product is that you cannot use it right away when your starting the regimen because of the pain it causes in the skin( stinging )

Wow I love this product so much I use it everyday almost everywhere lol I recommend this product so badly Is worth every penny including the shipping and even custom The guy you sell this is a freaking genius (Dan)

Pros:

It is VERY effective when bobbed on top of my BP to stop a developing zit in its tracks. It also completely cured these weird rough tiny bumps on the backs of my legs.

Cons:

can't wear it under makeup because it balls up. Can't really wear it in public at all because of that, and because it causes sun burn. It does sting on occasion.

Definitely worth the purchase, you can put it on any flawed part of your skin and it will help in some way. I've used it for little bumps and rough patches as well as a spot treatment.

Pros:

It will not dry out your skin like benzoyl peroxide so you can wear it out in public without any additional moisturizer.

Cons:

It is not as effective at reducing existing acne nor as a spot treatment when compared to benzoyl peroxide.

You can wear it out in public without any additional products (unless you need spf of course). It goes on clear and is absorbed well; only a dime size amount is needed for the whole face. I like it in the morning because I do not need to worry about flakiness. Also, it prevents breakouts pretty well in addition to smoothing out skin. It is not as glamorous as "Dan" makes it out to be. It is not a miracle spot treatment; stick to benzoyl peroxide for that. It is not "powerfully exfoliating"; just moderately exfoliating at best. However, I like that it goes on light and clear and does not dry out the skin while still preventing and treating acne. Considering it's price, which is definitely reasonable, it is effective enough for me to recommend it to those of you who dislike wearing benzoyl peroxide + moisturizer when out in public.

Pros:

You get a lot for what you pay for, and you only need to use it a few times a week. Last forever. Great for your skin!

Cons:

NONE! its amazing! well, you may feel a slight tinghling sensation, but i like it, it lets me know its working.

This may be, hands down, the best product I have ever used!!!.. I too am a sufferer of acne, scars, big pores. Since i bought this, i have literally had not one zit appear! I Use it only like 3 times a week at night, and voila, scars gone too! Face is smooth, pores appear smaller. Its great! I cant stress it enough. I even was able to quit using the benzoyl peroxide everyday.

Pros:

Extremely effective, non irritating, mattifying, inexpensive

Cons:

None!

A friend kindly gave me a sample of this lotion, and I'm so glad she did. I probably wouldn't have bought this if she hadn't done so because I haven't had much luck with AHA creams or lotions in the past. I found them either too irritating or they contained comedogenic ingredients. This stuff is golden! I can't believe how much better my skin looks after such a short time - smoother, brighter, clearer, and it's doing a bang up job of helping to make wrinkles and lines much less obvious. Even though my skin is very sensitive I have experienced no irritation of any kind - just great results. Because this product is so inexpensive I can use it on my face, neck, chest and hands. Don't tell Dan, but I would pay twice as much for this product and would still feel it was a bargain.
