Pros:

makes my skin soft; brings a few white/blackheads out onto the surface so then it's easier to extract them from the pores; helps reduce whiteheads

Cons:

makes the oily areas of my skin a little greasy (unlike with salicylic acid) after several hours; causes a little sting on non-acne-prone areas

I use it only once in the evening but I apply sunscreen both in the morning and evening. I can see that, very slowly, it helps improve my skin by slowly reducing the whiteheads on my forehead and back. It took around 2 weeks to notice small improvements. On my cheeks (front) and nose, blackheads become more noticeable as if they move up to the surface. Unlike the whiteheads on my forehead, I feel the need to manually extract the blackheads on my cheeks and nose simply because they're noticeably unsightly. I notice that it also softens my skin even without the addition of moisturizer/jojoba oil. However, it makes my forehead, nose and cheeks (just the oily front area) greasy when I wake up in the morning, especially during the first days. With chest acne, it works a lot more slowly. The only improvement I've seen is that it has dried out small papules but the bumps (with the whiteheads) are still there. I haven't seen any improvement with my hyperpigmented

Pros:

it has worked almost immediately. i have noticed my skin tone is starting to really even out. the scars are starting to fade and my skin looks more supple. i really, really like this stuff.

Cons:

none

GREAT STUFF. I highly recommend. It's only been about 2 weeks, maybe less, and results are highly noticeable. I am very impressed. It definitely calms the skin and you can see the difference on active acne almost immediately. MUST HAVE

This was the key to my great skin
After suffering with acne for so long this moisturizer and dark spot treatment literally took my skin from clear to perfect and all my really really dark spots are pretty much gone. I suffered with cystic acne all down the side of my face and they left these horrible marks. I literally regained confidence again after using this for about 4 months

Holy Grail
I've been using the regimen for a year now. When I say I have tried every damn thing on the market. From doctors to expensive over the counter items. I didn't believe this would work even after seeing the Youtube videos. In my mind, these products were too affordable to actually work but I was wrong. I had severe cystic acne that whether I popped them or not they left a dark mark on my face. I was using a clarisonic for about 3 months and I have always felt like if what I used wasn't rough on my face it wouldn't get rid of my acne. Long story short, I came on this site from hearing about it on youtube and did some research and I read that the the clarisonic was making my acne worst. I ordered the 3 step regimen and I didn't see much of a difference in the first couple of days but 1 week went by and my face started severely peeling and that's when I knew I was on to something good. I still used makeup to cover the scars. I also went from using my clarisonic every day to only once a week to get rid of the peeling skin and one month later my face started looking much better. It has been 1 year and 4 months and I've got very very faint marks from recent acne but it has been a complete 360!!! I also just recommended the Glycolic Acid to my aunt who got burned from laser removal and it's been 2 months and she can't believe the results. No doctor could do for her what acne.org did! You guys rock!

AMAZING
I've been using glycol acid with my bp for a little over a month and my skin is doing so much better! I had HORRIBLE red acne marks that would not go away; I used everything under the sun and this is the only thing that is finally fading these marks! The entire regimen is honestly amazing. I've been using acne.org for two months and I can't believe how quickly it is clearing my skin

Excellent Product
I looove this product. I was dealing with an awful bout of adult acne and in the 3 weeks that i have been using it i have seen a marked improvement on my skin. the marks are definitely fading. and it does amazing work on new pimples. I just apply the benzoyl and let it dry then add this after - it gets rid of the pimple super fast!

Don't give up!!!!
I am a veteran at the acne care regimen. I developed acne 2 1/2 years ago when I was pregnant with my son. It was my first time ever getting acne in my life. I thought my acne would disappear once I had my son, but it continued to get worse and worse. I tried different products and my face looked awful. The acne left behind dark spots and my self esteem went down. My face is very oily !!!One day while doing research, I came across this regimen. The benzoyl peroxide did wonders to my face. It is important to know that even though I have oily skin it is still extremely important to moisturize. Now after 2 1/2 years I decided to try the AHA glycolic acid. I hope it improves my skin even more. I still get breakouts from time to time, especially when I stray away from the regimen, but for the most part my skin looks beautiful. I hope one day I will eventually outgrow acne, being that I'm 28 years old and been dealing with it for years. Thank God for the acne regimen !!!!!

AHA burn
I've been using the regimen for a month and yesterday I put on AHA, but I didn't dilute it and it "burned" my skin. What should I do? Do I treat it like a sunburn?

Hold off on AHA until the burn goes away, once you start using it again dilute it with your facial moisturizer/oil. use it every other night once a day. best of luck to you!

What you can do is use just a pinch of AHA with your moisturizer. So about a nickel size amount in your palm but having it consist of half AHA and half moisturizer. Works great for me

aha can sting, i dont think it burned, the ph isnt low enough to cause a burn. stinging with aha is common the first few uses. i would ease into using it or even apply a light facial serum (if you use one) before using the aha
