Acne.org : AHA+ (Glycolic Acid - 10%)

this product is amazing. i have been using for 2 weeks or so and using it as a spot treatment for my dark brown spots from my acne scars and let me tell you, it has been the only thing i've used at home to reduce these spots. they are MUCH lighter and i can't stress that enough. if using it on your entire nightly and daily it will even your skin tone and make your lighter. this is an excellent product, thanks DAN!

I added this treatment to my regimen about 2.5 months into using the BP. I have reactive, sensitized skin & wondered if this would be too much. It's completely amazing! This completes the regimen by smoothing out the texture of your skin. I use the BP morning & night, everyday. Once I added this in, I use this instead of the BP every 3rd night. I know some people use this layered over the BP but I haven't tried that because the method I'm doing is working. I can't recommend this enough. I get zero irritation from this & couldn't be happier. I am an esthetician & have worked for several medical grade skincare companies & this is the best I've personally used. Simple & effective without the frills that can be irritating to some people.

I am dealing with some very mild (yet highly irritating acne) in my 40's. After a trip to my dermatologist, I started doing my own homework on the recommendations he gave me, and ended up (again) at Acne.org. I thought I'd try this AHA before trying the $$$ routine that was recommended to me. Only a few weeks into it, so far, so good. This Acne.org AHA+ is definitely exfoliating my skin effectively and gently. Currently I use this product after my PM routine which is: Wash with Acne.org facial cleanser (using Acne.org Jojoba Oil for my eye make-up remover first). I then mix a few drops of the Jojoba Oil with my CeraVe PM moisturizer and apply that to my face and neck. After the moisturizer absorbs, I work a dime sized amount into my face and neck down to my décolleté (avoiding my eye area and lips). I let that absorb into my skin. I apply it over my moisturizer to buffer my skin, as I want to start out as careful and gentle as possible to see how this product reacts with my skin and to see how little I can use to achieve the results I hope for. My skin feels smoother and looks less 'congested' than before. This is an economical way to buy such an effective product. The higher percentage of Glycolic Acid make this more versatile, as you can cut it or use it full-strength (less often/2-3xs wkly).

Burns and itches a little when I apply it but it's over a week and I see results. Have bad cystic acne on my back and get occasional breakouts on my face. Cystic acne is subsiding already. And face has stayed clear. Try this out if benzoyl peroxide didn't work well for you. Also I've only been using the this product. No combination of products.

What I do before using AHA is put on an aspirin mask (4 crushed up aspirin) for about 20 minutes and then use this. I do this every other night, give or take. The result is probably the best skin I've had in years. The combination of salicylic acid and AHA seems to do wonders when it comes to active pimples and even red marks and scars. Though the latter two takes considerably more time to see results. It does makes the skin red for a bit afterwards but that's part of the reason you use it at night. It'll also sting slightly as you apply it but that's normal for something that exfoliates. I've dealt with acne for well over a decade now and have tried more than a few products (including accutane twice) and this one-two punch is something I can't do without now. Regular aspirin costs nothing and Dan's AHA is fairly cheap as well considering the size of it. Give it a try if nothing else is working. Good luck (:

After trying practically every over-the-counter product on the market, with no results, i thought i should give this one a try after reading all the good reviews on this site. I'm glad i did. It's a great product and the only one that really worked for me. I use it at night before i go to bed, it dries really fast and the smell doesn't bother me at all. I've been using it for 2 months now and i can really see a difference in my skin. no more acne, no more breakouts. my skin cleared up after the first week of use. I apply it at night after i wash my face with 5% BP acne cleanser. the only downside to it is that it gives your face a light glow so i don't use it during daytime.

I ordered the whole regimine after pricing out what I was paying for OTC products. So much cheaper but I wanted to wait and see if the program would work for me before I ordered because I have done Proactive, Dermatologist recommended stuff and Rx's including very expensive $175 a tube gel that did exactly nothing. I think ProActive is just too harsh between the BP cleanser, astringent toner and BP treatment. I had immediate results at first but than my face just got irritated. So far the super gentle cleanser approach of this program is working well. I found that you need to follow the directions to the letter to avoid irritation...10 seconds to wash, no wash cloth, wait in between products, etc. etc. and do not forget to use a moisturizer.

This product is amazing and unlike anything I have ever used before. My skin looks clean, fresh, and has developed a natural glow. Thanks, Dan!!!

I bought this product because everytime I used a product to exfoliate my skin it made me break out. I currently use Benzaclin for adult acne that I have been suffering with for 14 years and my dermatologist will soon be putting me on accutance. Not for the severity of my acne but for the stubbornness of it. AHA has reduced my pores, it has evened out my skin tone and made my face so soft. I am an African American woman and normally my skin tone is about 3 different shades but this evened it out so nicely. It also works as a great spot treatment for acne. I love this product. I use it twice a day. In the morning I wash with DOVE soap, apply benzaclin, apply the AHA, then apply sunscreen. At night I do the same minus the sunscreen.

I have used this product for 2 months now and i love it! I use it at night in place of my moisturizer. It makes my skin soft and my acne has really improved! Plus it also reduces the appearance of my scars. Great product!
