Pros:

Very effective on both acne and acne marks. Great moisturizer to reduce dry and flaky skin

Cons:

Stings slightly after using, but I don't mind because that means it's working.

I use this every morning and night after applying the 2.5% BP. It stings at first but isn't too painful. With this daily routine my skin has transformed and is more even and clear. It's great as an additional treatment for acne as well as moisturizer. I can't live without it.

Pros:

Helps with flakiness
Brings acne to the surface
Helps with cysitc acne

Cons:

I seemed to break out every time I use this
Makes my skin oily
Made my skin red

I used this for several months and I found that I kept getting minor break outs every time I used it. I have used other AHA creams before and never had this reaction, I'm thinking the concentration of glycolic acid may have been too much for my skin. It did really help with the flakiness and dryness, but once I stopped using I didn't get anymore breakouts.

Pros:

Smells great, lots of product for your money, great packaging, fast absorbing.

Cons:

Broke me out! Felt just like regular lotion.

Experienced many clogged pores after using this. Tried several times, but each time broke out in clogged pores. Very sad. Wanted it to work

Pros:

loved the consistency and packaging, somewhat cleared my skin up

Cons:

very irritating, my skin would sting for hours! lactic acid is not as irritating and safer to use than glycolic acids.

It's an okay product, but I agree with those who say there are much less painful ways to clear skin than this product! I've had better luck with the Reversion Acne Control System.

Pros:

Pleasant scent, evens skin tone out nicely.

Cons:

Doesnt seem to fight acne and has a terrible balling up effect rendering it almost unusable during the day.

The AHA has nearly no effect on acne but does give the skin a certain glow after applied. The balling up effect it suffers from is horrendous and makes me regret my purchase entirely. Its a useless addition to the Regimen.

SERIOUS QUESTION//
I just bought this and I have a question is it a gel? Do you leave it on your face or you rinse it after a few minutes??? I'm confused

can i still get dermabrasion done while on AHA+
i just had a quick question i just started the regime about a week ago and i know i have to wait a month before starting the AHA+ but just curious I've been getting micro dermabrasion once a week for the past couple months ,that has been helping with my scarring of pervious acne and hyperpigmentation .So my question is can i still do that know or is my skin too sensitive and can i still do the micro dermabrasion when i start using the AHA+ next month .

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:

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:

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.
