Pros:

Moisturizes well, keeps skin clear

Cons:

has a funky smell

This is an exceptional product. This is the best AHA product I have tried so far. It keeps my combo skin moisturized, helps keep my skin clear, and helps to lighten my acne scars. Thanks Dan!

Pros:

The first spot treatment I've ever used that actually works. On stubborn spots it often takes a few applications but seems to clear up almost all spots for me - miraculous. Skin glows and is smooth when used as moisturizer too

Cons:

Can sting a bit, cause some irritation but ONLY if u use too much/apply it to often. Others might take issue with the smell but i happen to like it.

A really great product - having tried so so so many spot treatments I can't belive how well this works -if you put it on a spot early the post doesn't appear. It Sometimes clumps fi you put a lot on (is that my skin or the product!?) but the benefits far outweigh this. The first few times I put it on at night I couldn't believe my skin in the morning - I actually looked younger! - this of course is only temporary but is still quite amazing! - go get yourself some. I'd say this WAS essential. Don't worry about the jojoba oil - get this instead: STOPS FLAKINESS/STOPS SPOTS FORMING/IMPROVES SKIN TONE!

Pros:

- GREAT STUFF for after BP Moisturizer, Spot, & body treatment
- Worth the $$
- VERY Effective, Powerful, and CONSISTENT

Cons:

Stings a little, especially if used as a moisturizer, but it gets better with time and consistent applications.

Benzoyl Peroxide is more of a "maintenance" drug for acne. it CAN clear up mild or light stuff, but it's really best just for keeping new acne from forming. but if acne is winning the battle for ground over your face, this is what you need to use. this AHA+ is the heavy artillery. i use it as a after BP moisturizer at night and a spot treatment in the morning. i believe i owe about 80% of my progress in kicking acne's a$$ to AHA+

Pros:

This product is great for treating acne and evening out skin tone and texture. And it's affordable! It's definitely my secret weapon against acne!!!

Cons:

Only available online...but it's really no big deal to me. It arrives very fast anyway.

You must try this! I was using Mama Lotion for six months and I saw no big results, which was very disappointing because of all the positive reviews. So I decided to give this a try. And I'm glad I did! Glycolic acid is so much more effective. Yes, it may sting at first, but just be patient and eventually your skin will get used to it. And make sure to wear a sunscreen during the day. I use SPF 30. My cheeks get a little red, but makeup covers it up.

Pros:

great consistency, very effective, gentle

Cons:

none

I've used this product with or without BP, and I feel that it works great either way! Despite the high % of glycolic acid, I didn't ever feel a burning sensation, but I know it works because it left my skin soft, smooth, more even toned, my acne marks faded in like 2 weeks, and my pores are smaller! I had some initial purging at first, but after that it's all good. I now use this by itself without BP and I haven't had any problems. I did have a little balling up, when I applied a lot, but I only apply this at night so it doesn't matter to me. The addition of the lichochalcone is great because I feel like it really did help calm down redness. I don't mind the smell, and I love the huge economical size of this product. I use it on my elbows and knees as well to smooth out rough patches. Overall great product!

Pros:

Smells good, goes on clear and smooth. Fades my red marks faster than with nothing. Great value also!

Cons:

Makes you susceptible to sunburn. SPF up!

I would recommend this product once you have gotten your acne under control, and are searching for a light scar/red mark remedy. Try it out, you wont be dissapointed

Pros:

Couldn't live without it! Makes skin SO smooth. Great morning and night. Has helped clear acne. Skin looks and feels soft and smooth and best of all my skin looks clearer everyday! it took the redness out of my skin too. I love it!!!

Cons:

kinda stings or tingles in areas where you are broken out or where the skin is thinner. But it is no biggie

Try it! You have nother but 20 bucks to lose. I put it on in the morning after I wash my face and apply my BP then after my BP dries I put on the AHA+. Sometimes I apply some moisturizer too, but only if my skin feels dryish. I wear it under my make up and it works well and makes my skin look dewy all day. At night I do the same thing wash, BP and AHA+. And in the morning when I wake up my skin feels clean and smooth and so soft! And if i have a break out it is minimized and half way gone by morning. The best product I've ever used!!!!

Pros:

One of the best AHA so far !! Very light and doesnt irritate the skin and I never broken out from using it.

Cons:

ALWAYS wear sunscreen before going outside because 10% glycolic acid is pretty strong.

I been using many type of AHA, and they all do the job at making the skin softer and fade red marks. With AHA+ I could see improvement within 2 weeks rather than the NHSL took around 3-4 weeks to see results. Whats amazing about AHA+ is that It can clear bumps or marks that I couldnt with other AHA products....

Pros:

It does an extremely good job of taking redness out of my face and off the pimples on my neck. I use it in conjunction with ACV. I do my ACV treatment and then just before bed I use AHA+ sparingly and gently. It works for me.

Cons:

I have only used it for two weeks.

Give this a shot!!! It is worth the price.
