Pros:

Lightens red marks left from old acne! Makes skin moist, Great product if you're looking for a great mouisturizer! Make sure you give this product atleast a week before seeing noticable results.

Cons:

none really, just smells kinda weird.

Awsome product. Huge amount for such a small price paid!

Pros:

Fast acting

Cons:

None so far

I LOVE this product. I don't suffer from face acne (a blemish or two a month), but have extremely oily skin as well as 2-3 blemishes on my back. I have a TERRIBLE time using moisturizers since my skin gets so oily and shiny. This product has worked sooooo well as a moisturizer. It absorbed quickly and DID NOT LEAVE ME SKIN OILY!!! AHHH FINALLY!!! My face is also not shiny at all, but this product is also not over drying. You can feel the exfoliation right away as my skin is super smooth... something I have not felt in so long. PS - Bravo Dan - I ordered this product Thursday night and received it Saturday morning using STANDARD shipping. GREAT service.

Pros:

Huge amount for such a great price, smells good, so easy to put on, doesn't stain anything, very pleasant to use, most importantly... SO EFFECTIVE. It's incredible how fast it starts working and how well it works.

Cons:

Nothing that I could find!!!

I am INCREDIBLY amazed at this product. I didn't think it would work; I've had constant, mild-medium acne on my chest and back, which bp lotion and salicylic acid didn't help remove. I received this product 2 days after ordering it, tried it that evening, and in the morning I was already seeing results. It's so pleasant to use, very nice smell and consistency. For the price, which is around $20 with shipping (super fast shipping), the tube is HUGE. I've never been this happy with anything else I've used. I'm just absolutely speechless, thank you so much Dan, and to everyone who's wondering if this would work for them, trust me... IT WILL!!! Try it try it try it now!!!!!

Pros:

smooths complexion, lightens hyperpigmentation, absorbs nicely

Cons:

smells stank, order off line, leaves skin kinda oily looking for first two weeks.

First off, I"m brown skin and i needed somethin to even out my skin tone. I been using this product for about 3 and 1/2 weeks and my skin is lighter and smoother. Dans BP left my skin so dry with no glow but this helped a lot. The first two weeks i didnt like this stuff because my skin looked oily and it stung (only after putting on after BP, works better alone). But after the 3rd week i was amazed and my face was lighter and no longer felt oily. The trick is i never put it on after BP. I put it on in the morning after washing with Olay for Sensitive Skin (Best cleanser!), apply AHA then moisturize with Eucerin face lotion with Jojoba and I'm done. Sometimes ill leave it on for about 45mins then rub ice all over my face and blot the wetness with a paper towel (the AHA has already absorbed in the skin by now so its ok) and this makes my skin look the best.

Pros:

nondrying, skin feels dewey right after application

Cons:

seems to make my face more oily, does nothing for preventing or lessening acne

I saw all the rave reviews on here and decided to try the lotion. I used it for about a month (earlier this year) and it seemed to do nothing except make my skin oily. I've been trying it again this month (for about 2 weeks) and it's the same story. Maybe this product doesn't work for oily-skinned individuals or something. Maybe I should try another change in diet instead of relying on topical crap...

Pros:

Great product!!!!!!!! Cleared my skin in a few weeks!!! Helped me with my fine lines too.

Cons:

NONE!!!!! IT WORKED FOR ME!

I use this product as a spot treatment and moisturizer. It cleared a zit in about 3 days. I put on in the morning and at night. It really helped my skin!!!! I would recommend to everyone.

Pros:

Awesome product, it helped tone my skin after I applied it for a week, my face looks great now! I will continue to buy this product from Acne.org. Really worth the price. It also helps with whiteheads, but very very slowly though.

Cons:

It leaked everywhere when it got delivered, I hate the bottle version. It leaks easily, my package had AHA all over it when it was delivered to me.

Awesome product, 3 in 1 - moisturizer- really awesome toner, spot treatment cream. I love it

Pros:

Makes my skin glow! Clears any blemishes that are starting up within 1 or 2 nights of use. Has faded some scars and discoloration as well.

Cons:

Occasional mild stinging.

This stuff is amazing - one of the best products I've ever used. I hooked a co-worker on it as well, and she refers to it as my "magic cream". I get red scars very easily from blemishes and it's faded and cleared many of them. It makes my skin super soft and glowy and for me really does stop emerging zits in their tracks. The size and price are perfect. Dan better not ever stop selling this stuff!!

Pros:

You get a lot for what you pay for, and you only need to use it a few times a week. Last forever. Great for your skin!

Cons:

NONE! its amazing! well, you may feel a slight tinghling sensation, but i like it, it lets me know its working.

This may be, hands down, the best product I have ever used!!!.. I too am a sufferer of acne, scars, big pores. Since i bought this, i have literally had not one zit appear! I Use it only like 3 times a week at night, and voila, scars gone too! Face is smooth, pores appear smaller. Its great! I cant stress it enough. I even was able to quit using the benzoyl peroxide everyday.

Pros:

Not as harsh or stingy as the Alpha Hydrox version can feel

Cons:

Very liquidy and dribbly
Expensive compared to Alpha Hydrox version
Absorbs poorly when combined with benzyl peroxide

I love the Acne.org benzyl peroxide but am unimpressed with the AHA+. The performance seems equal to the Alpha Hydrox version, but this has much poorer consistency and is harder to use. It is very liquidy which makes the tube hard to use and means you dribble expensive product on the sink. It doesn't absorb into the skin well. When I use it in combination with the BP, it pills and lumps on my face, and I have lumps of yellow goo all over (bleah!). The Alpha Hydrox Enhanced Lotion is a better buy and easier to use.
