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

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

This is a great product especially for spot treatment. It can make your face a little red, so I only use it at night when I am having a break out. Be careful on putting this on the more sensitive areas of your face as it can make it burn and itch. ALWAYS WEAR A GOOD SUNSCREEN IF YOU ARE USING THIS PRODUCT AS IT MAKES YOU BURN EASIER!!! My only real complaint of this product is that it is only available in a super huge tube. I don' t use that much total product, and would love to be able to buy a 2-3 oz. tube so that I don't have to have such a large tube to store and so that it doesn't lose efficiency before I can get it used up.

I LOVE this stuff. And this is coming from a person who HATES lotions and moisturizers. This stuff is great, it treats pimples, clears up acne, prevents breakouts, and evens skin tone. It has made my skin a little red/sensitive, but well worth it. I also HATE the regimen, cant stand it, this is the ONLY acne.org product that I like, but he did get this one right.

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)

Great product does exactly what it says it does.

Use it if you want, but there is a correlation between todays generation of ultra feminine men and the use of these estrogenic topicals/foods. F'ing waste of my money

As a kid I spent a LOT of time out in the sun and worked as a lifeguard throughout high school and college. As a result, my skin built up some extreme durability to the elements but with one major problem: my skin has trouble shedding dead skin cells and, as a result, ends up clogging my own pores (only whiteheads, no blackheads). My oil production also went way up to protect my skin and this contributes to not being able to naturally shed dead skin cells. I've tried manual exfoliants in the past (Burt's Bees Citrus Scrub) which worked with moderate success, but it ended up being too abrasive for my skin and cause inflammation if done too frequently. I have had far better results with improving skin tone and texture by using AHA+; it is less abrasive on my skin but exfoliates more efficiently. I'm not able to use most moisturizers or sunscreen anymore because my skin isn't very good at shedding its layers, so I use this AHA+ in place of a moisturizer day and night in combination with benzoyl peroxide. Since getting off of Proactive this has been the only combination to help my skin so far. I essentially looked at the major factors/ingredients of Proactive and how it helped my skin (exfoliation with glycolic acid from their toner and bacteria/oil control with benzoyl peroxide from their repairing lotion) and duplicated that in a much easier and cheaper routine. I use Burt's Bee's Orange Citrus Cleanser (which is actually made up of olive and citrus oils), and I have NOT broken out but rather this specific cleanser helps moisturize my skin (thus no need for an extra moisturizer other than AHA+). I do not necessarily recommend using AHA+ everyday or in place of a moisturizer, but for my particular condition this application works. Once my skin has been rebalanced I hope to reduce application while also regulating exposure to the elements (sun, wind, pollution, etc) for long-term prevention.

After battling adult hormonal acne for almost ten years, I think I have found something that actually works on a consistent basis. This product is seriously the REAL DEAL. Not only does it moisturize, but it clears your skin. I didn't think there was a product on the market that could do that! I am IN LOVE with this. I do want to emphasize that because this product is not harsh at all, it takes a really long time for your pores to purge completely. That being said, your skin will appear to get worse, and stay bad for a few weeks before you really begin to see improvement. Also, if you are a compulsive skin picker like I am, I advice you to really make an effort not to pick while using this product. The AHA is continuously removing the top layer to your skin, so picking at acne underneath the skin is going to increase your chance of spreading bacteria to surrounding areas of your face. Good luck :)

If you are considering an AHA, but want a gentle one that is not too harsh you should really try this one. I have tried many expensive brands and most of them either caused me to break out or burned real bad. This one is gentle yet effective, so why not give it a try.

cleared my light case of acne, mainly blackheads and a few whiteheads. used it every night for 2 months but my skin started to look quite leathery and damaged so switched to 3 times a week and it looks much better.
