Pros:

- Works well with BP in zapping spots
- Evens out redness of spots (doesn't eliminate completely)
- Evens out hyper pigmentation (red marks)

Cons:

- Stings for a second or so
- can be irritating if you use too much at the same time as BP

I use AHA+ as a spot treatment in addition to Dan's regimen. I apply it at least 15 mins after my BP and moisturiser as to avoid irritation. It's not a miracle worker, but I certainly think it helps BP do it's job. I know you can use it all over the face, but I'm reluctant due to the risk of irritation.

Pros:

Evens skin tone, easy to use, great texture, multitasking item!

Cons:

Increased sensitivity to sun

This stuff rocks!!! After years of wearing shirts with high necks and avoiding sleeveless tops, I'm beyond thrilled to have found something that banishes my chest and back acne. I have even been getting compliments on my "beautiful" skin and friends say that my complexion is "glowing". I truly thought I'd never see the day. I apply to my face at night only, and to my chest and back twice a day after using mild cleanser. I simply swap the AHA+ for my night lotion, and in the morning my skin texture is improved and my tone is nicely evened out. It also quickly reduces the size and redness of any pimples that emerge if I slack off on applying :P I love the price, I love the ease of use, and most of all I love that it WORKS! Thanks Dan :)

Pros:

Smoothes + softens skin
Reduces hyperpigmentation
Helps reduce acne
Leaves skin less oily

Cons:

Slight stinging when used on broken skin
Thick consistency, only used at night

I've been on Dan's regimen for about 2 years now. BP really helped with controlling my oily skin and acne, though it didn't fix it completely. I used AHA+ about once a week just to break up my BP cycle. I stopped using BP recently because my skin was rashy from the summer, started using AHA+ every day instead. It made my skin soft and greatly helped reduce my hyperpigmentation, which is a huge problem I have (I have Asian skin). It left my skin feeling soft the next day but I only use it at night because it's pretty heavy and I use makeup during the day. Instead of drying out and "pushing" your pimples to the top to form a head, AHA+ diminishes them and helps with inflammation. Would definitely recommend.

Pros:

Works FAST
Makes skin feel clean
Easy to apply

Cons:

None really...slight stinging, but that's how you know it's working I assumed

This WORKS. I had light-moderate back and chest acne and my dermatologist had put me on pill after pill, to no avail. I tried this on a whim, combined with the acne.org cleanser, and I was incredibly impressed with the results. My face, chest and back cleared up within a month and my continued usage of the products is, I think, helping reduce my scars (which the derm said should fade on their own anyway). I highly recommend this product to anyone with body acne...it could very well be the best solution out there!!

The AHA+ really takes your skin to the next level when BP alone still leaves you with the odd pimple here or there. BP cleared my skin up tremendously, but the AHA+ used as a moisturizer about 10 mins after BP application really helps with controlling flakes and zaps the most stubborn acne that sometimes just seems to linger, even when on a BP regimen. Use it! But make sure to use an SPF moisturizer when using this and/or BP, because they do both make you're skin more prone to UV damage

Pros:

Clears skin really quickly, Can use as a nighttime moisturizer

Cons:

Doesn't wear well under makeup (which is why I use it at night).

It clears pimples really well, so use it as a spot treatment or substitute it as a moisturizer at night.

Pros:

Evens out skin, and fades away the leftover marks and spots from previous acne. Makes the skin really soft and smooth. Often helps in taking away pimples (spot treatment), blackheads, and small scars. GREAT STUFF!

Cons:

It smells pretty bad, but I don't really mind that. It may sting a bit, and sometimes makes my skin a bit red.

And like all of Dan's other products, the main con for me is that it is only available online; the shipping cost and the waiting is quite troublesome for me.

Really, really great stuff. It is almost as important to me as the BP, but I wouldn't use it everyday, because it can irritate the skin a bit. I've seen such a huge improvement in the texture/ colour of my skin since using the AHA+, and my skin has become oh-so-much softer. I highly recommend everyone to buy this product.
