Pros:

Smooth + soft skin, gets rid of flakes from BP, super exfoiliant,great for fine lines on forehead, reduces spots

Cons:

can ball up a little, can give face looking like it's got a shiny film on it - so would only use it extremely sparingly in dayime i.e.on any potential flaky patches

I use the AHA after application of Dans BP. I love it because it has eradicated the problem of flakes I was getting from BP usuage. Any post pimple brown marks have reduced dramatically to the point I can now go foundation free, skin looks even toned and "glows". It really has been the icing on the cake after success with Dans BP. I use pea sized gloops all over then glide it in before bed and after BP. Bottle has loads - brilliant value - you must try!!

Pros:

I loved how it went on smooth and left my skin smooth too.

Cons:

I was 99% clear and thought I'd try this--YIKES!! Broke me out all over..I'm just now recovering. It also balls up if you dont let it dry completely before applying makeup, etc.

I had to stop because I couldn't deal with the breakouts. I liked how it exfoliates--but my face was all broken out. YUCK

Pros:

Makes my skin look amazing, goes on smoothly, absorbs quickly

Cons:

Can't use in the morning

I've been using this product for about two weeks, and I LOVE it. Previously, I had used Neutrogena's Healthy Skin lotion, which I liked, but I never had as good of a result as I do with Dan's AHA. It smoothed out my skin, reduced some red marks along the sides of my face, and it even seems to reduce my current acne. The smell is a bit strong, but I don't find it unpleasant. And since I only use a few dabs at night, and the bottle is huge, it'll probably last a long time. I def recommend this!

Pros:

Within days of trying this product, I fell in love with it and will probably buy it again. I use it as a moisturizer, too. It is very gentle, makes complexion feel smoother within days, moisturizes, exfoliates, fragrance-free yet smells nice.

Cons:

I cant think of any. If you are looking for a strong peel, go to a professional skin care salon. But if you are looking for a gentle AHA peel, this is probably the best stuff out there.

This stuff is addicting! I'll definitely be buying it again. It didn't burn my skin (well, it tingled when I applied it after exfoliating =P). If you are trying to save money, this product doubles as a moisturizer!

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!
