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

When I started using the benzoyl peroxide on my face, it cleared my skin but made it EXTREMELY dry and flaky. Nothing could help the moisture of my skin, not even adding jojoba oil to my moisturizer. I contacted acne.org for advice on how to help my dry, flaky skin and red marks and they suggested this product. It truly works to help heal scars and red marks and to fix dry skin. The only con I can think of is that sometimes if I don't' wait long enough after washing my face to apply this lotion, it stings a tiny bit.Now that the regimen cleared my skin, I use benzoyl peroxide more as a spot treatment and AHA as a nightly moisturizer. Makes my skin very smooth. I know that Daniel Kern says that this product can be used as a spot treatment, but I don't' really find that it works very well for spot treatment.

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.

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.

OK, I hate BP, SA, pretty muchI hate most all acne products. They usually dont help at all, make skin dry and irritated, and quick working if you miss only one day. This stuff rocks. It is moisturizing, and it clears Acne. I tried the "regimen" and pretty much everything else, to no avail. This stuff is the only thin that worked for me. All I did was wash with Neutrogena Naturals face wash, and this at night. At first, I GLOBBED this stuff on, just like you would with the BP in the regimen and rubbed it in gently but well. Now I use just a little bit, enough to cover. I use it only at night, in the morning I just splash with water to rinse it off. I am outdoor all day, never noticed any increased sun sensitivity but I always use some sunscreen. Bottom line, if you hate BP and it doesn't work for you, this is definitely worth a try. I cleared up within a few months completely, and it has been over a year of clear skin since then. My acne was Moderate/severe before, now it is non-existent. Also, this helps with the marks.

I have been using bp for about 2 and a half weeks, and I started using this a week ago, first without bp, then both at night. I dunno, I guess you're not supposed to.. but it didn't burn that bad for me. However I only use bp at night. Anyways, this product is amazing! And since bp is claimed to have aging effects on the skin, I love this because it counteracts that. On my scars, I've seen some improvement.. but not much yet, I'll see. For acne overall, I don't feel this helps much, but the flakiness from the bp is gone! Thanks Dan for sharing this amazing product, I love it! :)

This works fantastically at preventing spots coming up. Twice this has happened where i feel major large cysts under my skin, i dab some on, go to sleep and next morning it is literally gone. Does not work on red marks and does nothing for existing pimples. period.

when i first started using this, like others, my face would turn a bit red and would burn. but, believe me - the sensation will go away with regular use and it is WORTH getting through that initial adjustment phase. depending on how i feel, i use this product either every night, or every other/third night, and it leaves my skin feeling insanely smooth and also looking very clear. i definitely also notice the "glow" that other reviewers have mentioned. if your skin really gets irritated (sometimes mine does, if i haven't used the product for several days and then i try to use it again, or if my skin is feeling particularly dry), then i mix 1/2 AHA with 1/2 moisturizer and use that instead of the full dose of AHA alone. overall, this is seriously a miracle product in my book!

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 :)

After using the product for 7 months, I can notice that my acne bumps and scars (which were left behind by previous acne) have faded away. Just, wow. I used to believe that nothing would make the horrible scars fade away, but this product proved me wrong. But you do have to use it everyday to see results. Promise u that after 6 months of everyday use, your marks will have faded way significantly. I first apply the acne.org benzoyl peroxide treatment, then wait 30 min.; then I apply acne.org moisturizer and AHA. I then apply the jojoba oil all over my face to avoid dryness and to smooth my skin for the next day. Lastly, I wait 10 min. and then apply the acne.org AHA as a spot treatment on all of the scars. *U have to use this product about 2 to 3 months after beginning to use benzoyl peroxide -otherwise your skin will burn too bad, and I mean it.* I have using this for 6 months, and my acne scars have significantly faded away; to do the whole regimen is annoying, but u stick with it and get your reward. I used to get embarrassed every time I approached a makeup counter at any store (because of my scars); but not anymore! I look more like myself now. You could too if u use this; but remember that it will work best and give dramatic results only if u use it every day. Oh, and it also helps the benzoyl peroxide zap zits much faster. Get it now!

After hearing all those benefits from AHA, I decided to give it a try. For the first two weeks, my skin didn't change at all and was very pink. However, after cutting down the usage to a dime-sized amount for the entire face, it's been working so well! Now I am seeing a difference on my face after a month! I highly recommend it to other people!
