Pros:

Smoother, softer skin

Cons:

none!

I noticed a difference in my dry, flaky, red, uneven skin after the first night of applying! After one week of use I am already noticing wrinkles smooth out! Dry patches have softened and redness (from previous acne) is fading. I love this product and will continue to use it. Oh, and the price is fabulous, too! Can't beat it! Thanks Dan!

Pros:

Smoothes skin great!
Kills spots!
Fades red marks!

Cons:

Nothing that bothers me!

I think I've found my cream! Its helped me find that happy medium by helping killing those spots and mousturizing at the same time! I'm extremely happy with this product and if all goes well when I finish the tube, I will be buying more in bulk! Haha, happy days!

Pros:

Super Light Weight
Great Exfoliator
Fantastic Moisturizer
Completely eliminates flakiness

Cons:

Can sting at times
Smells like Honey Dijon mustard

Along with using BP at night, I would have to agree with Dan that this product is fantastic as a nightly moisturizer and as an added treatment for my acne! Would highly recommend as a spot treatment as well!

Pros:

Great moisturizer, especially after using the BP

Cons:

Didn't really fade the red spots on my face

It really combats the dryness you experience with the BP. I haven't seen fading of the red spots from old pimples yet, and I'm sort of disappointed in that, but maybe it just takes some time. I did have some purging when I first used it, which was not so cool. In general, though, I would recommend this at least as a moisturizer.

Pros:

It works like magic. I'm in my 40's and have tried LOTS of acne lotions. I'm only on my second night and had to write immediately. My pores already seem smaller and my skin clearer. I can't even wait to see what a week will bring!

Cons:

NONE so far at all!

The value and quality of this product is amazing. You only use a small amount, yet the tube is huge. I have enough in this bottle for a year! Best value out there. Honestly between this and coconut oil, my skin is FINALLY starting to look amazing. And at a fraction of the cost. I really think your skin is better off basic...not lots of fillers and chemicals. Thank you Dan!

Pros:

Works well as a spot treatment, reduces redness and swelling of large inflamed pimples super fast.

Cons:

Stings really badly when you first put it on, greasy and balls up after drying. Not a very pleasant smell either.

I've been using it at night because of warnings that it increases sun sensitivity. I dab it on a couple of problem areas on my cheeks and forehead and don't rub it in until about an hour later. Whenever I do this it seems to amazingly get rid of the redness that makes my skin look so awful. It also reduced the swelling a large pimple I had on my cheek. The only bad thing I would say is that it is a bit greasy and balls up after drying so I wouldn't recommend touching your face much after applying. Also, it stings A LOT when you first put it on but it's kinda good in way because I feel like that means its working ;) I definitely wouldn't call this a 'miracle cream' but it definitely helps.

Pros:

Gave me near perfect skin, almost completely cleared my light case of acne on its own, I never have cystic pimples anymore, almost completely cured my oiliness and congested pores, makes my skin smooth and soft.

Cons:

Some purging noted at the very beginning, stings on application, only minor improvement to blackheads and oiliness on the nose, daily sunscreen is absolutely required.

In a nutshell, this is the closest thing to a "miracle product" that I have ever tried in my life (much more so than benzoyl peroxide, which just didn't work for me). This AHA+ lotion turned my congested, greasy, sensitive, reddened, gross-looking skin into soft, smooth, feminine, near-perfect skin whose flaws have been reduced to only some oiliness at the nose (as opposed to on the entire face) and some residual, healing red areas (probably from old acne). My skin used to alternate from being a total oil slick to dry and flaky - but now it feels normalized and unnoticeable all day, like the skin on the rest of my body. I remember when I would have given anything to have skin like this, and now I have it. And it is by far the most cost effective AHA product on the market. Thank you so much, Dan!!

Pros:

Reduces swelling of large cystic acne and can prevent one of these large under the skin zits from ever surfacing if caught early enough,.

Cons:

It can irritate the skin if over used.

AHA for me is best used as a spot treatment. I like its ability to help control large cystic acne,

Pros:

very effective, smoothes out skin, speeds up renewal of skin, and dries quite well

Cons:

does tend to sting a little especially on the first application, but not that big of a deal.
does ball up if you keep on rubbing at it, so you have to leave it alone after you feel like the application stage is finished

does what dan says it does, and remember not to use it on a pimple that's coming out, because it will turn into a huge whitehead sometimes which is something someone might not want on the day of prom, but it does increase the speed at which the skin repairs itself. its smell also reminds me vaguely of a jar of dijon mustard i had. maybe it's just the color that's bringing some associations and the smell to my head, but i swear it smells faintly like mustard (not necessarily a bad thing, i like dijon)

Pros:

Helps fade red marks quickly, helps popped zits and small whiteheads disappear fast, dries very fast so I can sleep with it on, also it doesn't make my face red on contact like other AHAs so I can go out right after applying it.

Cons:

May clause slight purging (I've experienced a little bit on my chin), it balls up if you rub your skin after it dries (makes it a little hard to apply makeup if its on my skin).

(my skin has fairly light acne with a lot of red marks and some shallow scarring) Overall I'm really happy with this product. I think its definitely worth the money for the shipping. Ive been using it for about 5 days and I can already see my red marks starting to fade away as well as the overall tone of my skin improving. I cant wait to see how my skin progresses over the next couple of weeks, I definitely will continue to use this.
