Pros:

Fades red marks, scars
Got rid of my acne within a week

Cons:

Your face feels stingy the first week

I have light acne and could never get rid of it. I would breakout weekly with a zit on my face. I bought this after i was doing the regimen for like 6 months. I read that for light acne, just to wash your face with the cleanser and add some AHA afterwards would clear acne. I tried it and my zits disappear just after a week.

Pros:

Makes skin really smooth, moisturizes well, calms breakouts, fades hyperpigmentation, exfoliates wonderfully

Cons:

Burns a bit at first (but not terribly), smells a little funky, makes skin a little sensitive and tender while you're getting used to it

I've only been using this stuff for about 4 days (morning and night), but wow! It's already started to fade my hyperpigmentation from past breakouts, and my skin is incredibly smooth. I can't wait to see what this stuff is going to do in the long run! Oh, and you get a lot of this product for the price! You only need about a thumbnail sized amount to cover your whole face!

Pros:

Made skin feel hydrated.

Cons:

Made me break out worse, no improvement even after sticking with using it until the entire bottle was gone.

I was really hoping this would clear up my light/moderate back acne, but instead it made things worse. It made my skin feel a bit on the greasy side and break outs followed throughout use.

Pros:

great moisturizer, tingles for a sec which means its working its "magic"

Cons:

no change with my acne scars nor does it help as a spot treatment. it never really help in reducing the redness or swelling

i use this product twice a day after being on Dan's regimen for a month and it did help with the dryness of my skin. The other reason I bought this product is because I read the reviews that it does help with the acne scars, but having used this for 3wks now I still haven't seen any improvements with my scars. As a spot treatment, that didn't work for me either. I'll keep using it tho and see if a few more weeks will make a difference. I only use a small amt AM & PM and its enough for the entire face then sunscreen after in the morning.

Pros:

-light mustard-like smell (not uncomfortable)
-NO flaky skin after use
-no animal testing used

Cons:

-greasy/oily
-not an effective spot treatment (see comment below)
-no noticeable decrease in fine lines

This is probably the best moisturizer I have tried. When I first started Dan's regimen, my skin was EXTREMELY flaky and dry; it has never been that dry before in my entire life. This product moisturized my skin better than any moisturizer I tried. However, it is extremely greasy, and I cannot wear makeup over it because the makeulp starts to run later on in the day. I also tried it as a spot treatment-it DOES NOT WORK. There was no noticeable decrease in size or redness. Addittionally, I did not notice any decrease in fine lines (I am only 20 though, so maybe it just won't work until later on). I also didn't notice the nice "glow" that some people claim to get from using AHA. Bottom line though: it's a great moisturizer, and if that's what you are looking for, this is the best one out there.

Pros:

-Dramatically reduces size and redness of inflamed spots, over night!
-Smooths skin (both reducing acne bumps and exfoliating flaky skin)
-Rapidly speeds up the fading of old red marks left behind after acne.
-Gives skin a certain healthy looking glow even once dried.
-Reduces fine lines and wrinkles (I swear!)
-Fantastic value for money :)

Cons:

-Can sting a bit when first applied to skin, especially when you first start using it.
-Can make skin temporarily a little red (though within 10-20 mins your skin looks normal again).

Buy it, use it, love it. I use it all over my face as a moisturizer every night (after BP), and as a spot treatment (if needed) during the day (again, after BP), and my skin's never looked and felt so good. Combined with the regimen it works fantastically :) I don't ever want to be without it now!

Pros:

Lightens pigmentations and acen scars
Smoother Skin
Exfoliates Damaged Skin

Cons:

Slight scent
Makes skin oily while on ( use at night )

My Dermatoligest adviced me on using an AHA product . It's Good for clearing out Damaged skin and lightening the pigmentations . I use it at night , I've been using it for 2 weeks now and I have seen some improvement in my skin , I only have little not so-deep acne scars on my cheeks and some pigementation here and there and it helped me fade those out.

Pros:

stops breakouts
clears skin from acne
dries fast

Cons:

light smell
not for daytime use

After trying practically every over-the-counter product on the market, with no results, i thought i should give this one a try after reading all the good reviews on this site. I'm glad i did. It's a great product and the only one that really worked for me. I use it at night before i go to bed, it dries really fast and the smell doesn't bother me at all. I've been using it for 2 months now and i can really see a difference in my skin. no more acne, no more breakouts. my skin cleared up after the first week of use. I apply it at night after i wash my face with 5% BP acne cleanser. the only downside to it is that it gives your face a light glow so i don't use it during daytime.

Pros:

I have non-inflamed acne, and I have tried EVERY product out there from creams to cleansers and everything else. I'm 22, and this product is the only thing that has been able to get my skin clear. It also has a good consistency and goes on really smooth.

Cons:

none!

This AHA is basically my savior after years of hoping my skin would clear up. THANK YOU acne.org!

Pros:

gives perfect smooth skin,faded my purple-pink marks from older cysts and pimples,i like the cream-gel consistency,does what an aha product should do

Cons:

maybe the smell if you're super sensitive,it doesn't bother me personally, have to use sunscreen

I've been using it for the last 2 months and I love it.It does exactly what I wanted it to do and more.I bought it to reduce the flakiness my skin was under.I used other aha product before this one and it was great too but expensive for the quantity I was getting.This is pretty affordable if you do the math,it's going to last me 8-10 months with nightly use. It gives me flake free,smooth skin,foundation looks great. I also noticed that my purple-pink marks from older cysts are starting to fade so that's great. This cream combined with a sugar-free diet made my acne disappear 80%. I still have oily skin,no improvement here. I was really expecting a strong smell but it's really just a light lemony scent. It didn't burn after application,no redness either. I'm using it only on my face every night,in the morning I use a moisturizer with sunscreen. Definitely a repurchase.
