Pros:

Smells great, nice lotion texture, a lot of product for your money, flip top cap dispenses just the right amount. Dries fairly quickly.

Cons:

Sometimes it balls up on certain parts of my face. Not sure why-it's totally random. would not recommend using this during the day due to the balling up issue and the sensitivity to the sun factor.

I use this after I apply the BP. I wait 10 minutes to let the BP dry, then apply the AHA all over my face. I use about a pea and a half. I havent noticed anything major on my face, but i have only been using it for a week. I did not feel a sting or anything. I am using it on my neck too and it SEEMS a bit smoother? My neck creases don't seem to be as noticeable? I don't see any lighting of my dark spots (yet) though. Not sure if will repurchase.

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 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.

Pros:

Smooths skin, fades red marks a bit, gets rid of flakes. Goes on smooth and soaks in just quickly enough. Reminds me of pudding. :)

Cons:

If you don't wait long enough after applying BP, it can ball up. Easily fixed by allowing yourself more time.

I noticed results after about two weeks. This stuff does the trick. I use a thin layer all over my face morning and night, after BP and before Moisturizer. My skin is smooth and soft and quite happy. It only stings for me if I have a scratch somewhere or an open spot, but it doesn't bother me when it does. It's a high quality product that hasn't let me down for a very fair price. I spot treat with it on my back and it has helped there, too! Just a little blob the size of a bb works.

Pros:

Very light feel, evens out complexion and calms acne instantly. Moisturizes face very well. Goes on like silk.

Cons:

Tingles a bit when first applying, but only for about 5 seconds. Leaves skin slightly shiny.

Very good product that will even out your complexion and completely soothe active acne.

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

Pros:

This stuff works great. I got my tube last night and used it as a spot treatment. The pimple I used it on had been forming for a couple days. Although it's not completely gone today it no longer hurts and the inflammation has gone down a lot.

The tube is huge for the price. It stings a little tiny bit when you put it on, but it's worth it. I've never had a spot treatment work like this before.

Pros:

Significantly reduces inflammation and improves skin's appearance. High quality, easily applied. No need for moisturizer after using it. Sleek packaging, no annoying smell. Very effective, highly recommended.

Cons:

Depending on skin's sensitivity, brief stinging sensation may occur upon initial applications. Sensation subsides almost immediately afterwards. Stinging can also occur if applied soon after shaving; jojoba oil as pre-shave prep can minimize this.

Get this product!!! The AHA+ worked wonders for my skin! This product can dramatically improve the condition of one's skin and is equally effective for face and body acne. I can't say enough positive things about this product - just buy it!!
