Gives baby smooth skin!

Pros:

leaves skin baby soft
prevents new pimples most of the time
helps shrink any pimples that have formed

Cons:

doesn't seem to be helping scars

I am absolutely in love with this product! So so amazing, my skin is so soft now that I have been using this. I use this everyday it does not irritate my skin at all. Sometimes I skip the BP and just put this on at night and it still works like magic. I still get like 1 or 2 little pimples nothing like before though, and when I do get 1 I just put this on and boom! gone pretty fast like 1 or 2 days the pimple is gone. I do still have acne scars which aren't really that bad but I wish this would get rid of them, I don't know if it will, but I think maybe giving it some more time will help, I've been using the regimen for 3 months and my face hasn't looked so clean and clear like it does now! I had tried Retin A, ProActive, Contraceptive pills,and other things prescribed by a dermatologist and nothing seemed to work for me and I spent so much money on useless products until I came across this website! Thank God for Dan! Wish I could have found this earlier in my life. I am 25 years old now and finally feel comfortable in my skin after so many years of struggling with acne, there would be days I didn't even want to take one foot out of the door because my face looked so bad to me.I will definitely keep using AHA+ and the BP. I had also bought the Dan's Lotion, which I do not like at all because it does not moisturize my skin, and I do no like the consistency of it, I also have Dan's facewash , which I will not be purchasing again either, the lotion I use is cetaphyl(doesn't clog my pores at all and does very good moisturizing my skin) and I use the brand SIMPLE facewash. I 100% recommend AHA+ it really has been like magic in a bottle for me !

Helps with flakes, skin tone

Pros:

takes care of flakes/dry skin
evens out skin tone

Cons:

makes skin sensitive to sun
stings eyes

Great product. This, along with the acne.org benzoyl peroxide has changed my life! The AHA+ takes care of flakiness once and for all. I used to always have patches of dry skin. I use a small amount of this combined with Cetaphil cream every night, and I never have dryness anymore. I also have some hyperpigmentation, and this helps even out my skin tone. Very amazing product. This makes my skin much more sensitive to sun though. If I am in direct sunlight for more than 10 minutes without sunscreen, my face will feel slightly burned. I do have very fair skin already. Also, be careful not to get this in your eyes or mouth. It seems easy to do, and will sting, especially your eyes. On price, this tube will last you a very, very long time, so it's worth the cost. Thank you so much Dan and everyone at acne.org!

Pros:

great product, works instantly

Cons:

none

works like it says! I noticed a difference after the first use, my skin tone is more even, wrinkles more smooth and less visible. I will continue to use twice a week as suggested. The second use did not sting as much as the first time but was still tolerable the first usage. Definitely recommend!!

Pros:

Moisturizing, clears, no fragrance

Cons:

None yet :)

I remember some years ago...i was in my mid teens...Vaseline intensive care had lotion that had AHA in it...(they don't sell it anymore) and i put it on my face...and my acne was horrible. That stuff worked for me...helped clear it up some. So I was glad that years down the line, with my acne coming back, this stuff is available. I use it at night in replace of the moisturizer and I really think it helps ith the clarity of the skin. I'm a beliver. I've just started using it so i'm going to give it 4 stars for now.

Pros:

Gets rid of redness
Cheap
Large
Removes underground spots developing

Cons:

Does nothing for existing spots
Makes you more sun sensitive
Is quite thick and was pore clogging for me

This works fantastically at preventing spots coming up. Twice this has happened where i feel major large cysts under my skin, i dab some on, go to sleep and next morning it is literally gone. Does not work on red marks and does nothing for existing pimples. period.

Pros:

Lotion spreads easily and smoothly
Dries clear
Exfoliates very well
Seems to help with pimples and scars

Cons:

None

This product does sting some but I am not docking it for that by any means, simply because that is in the nature of the product. It is a wonderful exfoliant and helps with flake control after week 4 of the Regimen, works beautifully as a substitute moisturizer occasionally, and seems to help breakouts clear faster and scars heal much faster. I recommend it.

Pros:

improves skin texture through gentle chemical exfoliation, moisturizing

Cons:

increases sun sensitivity, may irritate skin, online only, expensive shipping cost, has not faded red/dark spots

I've used this regularly for at least three months, morning and night, immediately after cleansing. I use less than a dime size amount, concentrating on applying the product to my problem areas, then I smooth the excess onto the rest of my face, until the product is nearly absorbed into my skin. I then apply sunscreen, then my foundation. I have not experienced a significant change in my dark spots, but I have noticed a great difference in my skin texture. It's very smooth and soft, and my breakouts don't last as long as they used to, though I still get a few monster zits that hang around for more than a week or two, usually during my cycle. This is a great moisturizer, and I find it just as effective as BP in treating my acne. It was recommended to my by my best friend. She was able to fade her red marks after a month of regular use. I don't seem to be as fortunate, but I would still recommend for gentle chemical exfoliation.

Pros:

Love the product & have used it for 1 week, morning and night. Love it. Cleanse and then use this as moisturiser. Skin looks better already. Exfoliation rate seems faster than scrubs. Light powder tones down shine. Mac Studiofix applied with a brush

Cons:

Takes 10 to 15 mins to sink in so I apply it, do my hair and then apply make-up. Easy. May sting a little on application but it's mild and passes in seconds. Looked a little shiny at first so now use a little less product.

Great product. Use to spot treat or every day twice a day. Also use as a maintenance treatment after using the regimen.I've stopped the regimen for a while and find this keeps spots at bay. Use it on my face, neck and chest.
