Great product minus the expiration date

I was so glad to get this product based off a YouTube review and I'm glad I did. It makes my face soft and moisturized and also does great before makeup primer. I hope to see some dark spots go away eventually. The only thing I'm bummed about is the expiration date for 6 months after I purchased it...good thing I used it right away.

Clears dark spots!

I've had acne all throughout high school and into my college. Once I started to use this product all of my dark spots have gone away. I've been using this product for about 2 years now and my skin is clear and smooth with no dark spots. This product is the best thing that has happened to my face! I recommend getting it with Acne.org's Benzoyl Peroxide treatment, but DO NOT use both on your face. I will use the treatment in the morning and at night, but every other week, for one night, I would use the glycolic acid, instead. Only use this product once a week or once every 2 weeks, this product is strong especially when you are using the benzoyl peroxide treatment. But using these two together is what helped my acne and skin clear up.

looking for help
I have been using and loving the three core products for about two years. Just like everyone else, I want something to clear the dark spots on my face. About a month ago, I began using the AHA and unfortunately it seems like all my progress I have made has gone to waste. I have breakouts almost everyday and my skin is dryer than ever before. I make sure to use sunblock every morning and understand there is suppose to be backlash period, but I'm wondering when I should see results. Also, anyone know of any other products to clear up dark spots?

I don't know much about your detailed usage. But I do have some solid experience with this product. This product is on the higher-ish spectrum of AHA concentration, so some caution should be used. For example, when starting out, maybe once a week is best for application. Also, consider adding in some Allatoin powder, and definitely an amino acid like Arginine. That will slow down the absorption and make it a bit more gentle. I've been in the same situation and I found that overall, less frequency and less amount of it is so much better. Feel free to track me down and pm me if you have any more questions. Good luck!

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

Made such a difference
Alright so about a year ago I had severe acne around my jawline and chin area. It got so bad that I went on accutane for 6 months to clear it, although right before I went on it I ordered this product. I never ended up using it since using it with Accutane would completely destroy my skin. Long story short I've been off accutane for the last 6 months and my skin was doing fine, I had no breakouts for the whole of those 6 months. Only the occasional pimple here and there. Then about two weeks ago I suddenly started breaking out around my chin, now having been free of acne for so long having this happen to me was really demotivating and stressful. I then remembered that I still had this tube of glycolic acid I bought, at first I was super super sceptical of it. I was concerned that it might make my skin worse and then I might not be able to go back, but in fact the exact opposite happened. I've been using it on my breakout (and all over my face mixed with a moisturiser) for the last week and my breakout has completely stopped. The dark spots are fading quickly and my skin overall is just looking healthier. Hopefully it continues to improve (Also I really urge those of you stuggling with acne to cut down on your dairy intake, I realised that as soon as I drink a lot of milk or have a lot of dairy products my skin starts to breakout. Try replacing your milk with almond or coconut milk)

Just tried on my back. Very very good results!
I started this treatment on 12 July on face and back. Firstly, I had a little break out on my face at the second day so I decided try it just on my back for the moment. I worked perfect! My back was always with acne but in 2 weeks it was cleared. Just some marks but it is smooth and that with 5 weeks. I will try on my face and after at least 6-8 weeks i'll post the results. Thanks!

Wish I could give negative stars
I started using this product because I had a few dark spots from little bumps that I get in my T zone. This made me breakout on my entire face. Places that I never get acne I started to get acne. I thought it was just the product working and my skin getting used to it so I gave it a full month. I wish I had never used this produt. My face is full of dark spots now. I can't go anywhere without makeup anymore I am so depressed. PS. I have used a different brand glycolic acid before and it was amazing to my skin which is why I gave this one a try since it is such a large amount. Worst mistake ever will never buy again

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!

youre most likely purging, which is a natural process of skin healing after introducing an AHA

AHA treatment
I combine this with my benzoyl peroxide when applying to my skin and leave it over night on acne prone skin and it works wonders!! Usually gets rid of all the bacteria causing me to break out and its gentle enough for my skin. Love it.
