Acne.org : AHA+ (Glycolic Acid - 10%)

I would recommend applying this to any new red marks or pimples that are developing, and on old red marks a few times per week. This can also be used all over your face as a good moisturizer/ and can help you exfoliate, but be prepared for redness for several hours!

I love this stuff. I use it on my t-zone every night and it stops pimples developing further. I haven't had any massive pimples since i started using it. Get it!

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.

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.

I have been on the regimen for about a month now and for the most part, the side effects have subsided. I haven't experienced any redness for a while and I ocassionally experience some dryness but NOTHING compared to how dry and flaky my skin was. I would smile and my face would literally crack. I've heard many good things about AHA and I'm wondering if now would be a good time to start or if I should wait a little longer. I'm only doing the regimen once a day as of now and seems to be working just fine. I want to know if I should start AHA already, and how/when to apply it with the regimen. Also the side effect please ! I mostly have scars now but no active acne

ive been using this for a few weeks now. nighttime: - wash off makeup and cleanse - apply bp treatment - apply moisturizer - apply aha daytime: - cleanse - apply moisturizer - apply bp treatment - apply makeup (i let my face absorb the product for about 2 mins before applying the next step) i dont use nearly as much of any treatments (bp or aha) that is suggested because i dont need that much. i get blemishes probably more around my time of the month and aha has seemed to lessen the amount of blemishes as well as accelerated the time it takes for post acne marks to fade, which is great!

First of all, I use about 1/4 to 1/2 the recommended amount. I think they recommend you use a lot so you have to buy more. A little goes a long way, especially when mixed with moisturizer. I was having okay results with the Regimen and got the glycolic acid to try to kick it up a notch. It definitely worked! I get less acne than before and the acne I do get heals faster. It doesn't seem to help wit hyperpigmentation though. The reason I can't give this 5/5 is because there was no warning that it's corrosive to plastic. DO NOT wear your glasses until this stuff is *completely* absorbed into your skin. My black frames now have disgusting white and yellow bubbles all over the parts that touch my face. Frames are expensive and are meant to last years, now I can't even wear mine to work. Also, it is turning my eyebrows blonde at the tips, it looks weird but I don't care because my acne is better.

I love this stuff! It has honestly been a miracle product for my skin. Im 26 and never had a problem with acne until several years ago. I've tried products with salicylic acid, benzyl peroxide, and sulfer, and none of them have done much good. I purchased the AHA lotion hoping it would even out some of the scars that I've been getting due to my acne outbreaks, but it has actually done more than that. It's cured my acne! At night I wash my face with a gentle clenser and use the AHA lotion (every night as it does not irritate my skin at all). In the mornig I use a gentle cleanser again and use cetaphil's oil control SPF 30 moisturizer. I've only used this product for about a month and my skin hasn't looked this good in at least 3 years! Thanks Dan!

I'm 38 years old and have been struggling with chest acne for the last 10 years. Every May/June when the weather gets hot, I start to break out. Got some relief from antibiotics prescribed by dermatologist, but it always came back after they were done. I know that it was irritated by sweat from golfing, running volleyball, and even just being outside on sunny days. AHA+ has completely cleared me up. I apply it every morning and right before bed.

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