Pros:

Couldn't live without it! Makes skin SO smooth. Great morning and night. Has helped clear acne. Skin looks and feels soft and smooth and best of all my skin looks clearer everyday! it took the redness out of my skin too. I love it!!!

Cons:

kinda stings or tingles in areas where you are broken out or where the skin is thinner. But it is no biggie

Try it! You have nother but 20 bucks to lose. I put it on in the morning after I wash my face and apply my BP then after my BP dries I put on the AHA+. Sometimes I apply some moisturizer too, but only if my skin feels dryish. I wear it under my make up and it works well and makes my skin look dewy all day. At night I do the same thing wash, BP and AHA+. And in the morning when I wake up my skin feels clean and smooth and so soft! And if i have a break out it is minimized and half way gone by morning. The best product I've ever used!!!!

Pros:

One of the best AHA so far !! Very light and doesnt irritate the skin and I never broken out from using it.

Cons:

ALWAYS wear sunscreen before going outside because 10% glycolic acid is pretty strong.

I been using many type of AHA, and they all do the job at making the skin softer and fade red marks. With AHA+ I could see improvement within 2 weeks rather than the NHSL took around 3-4 weeks to see results. Whats amazing about AHA+ is that It can clear bumps or marks that I couldnt with other AHA products....

Pros:

It does an extremely good job of taking redness out of my face and off the pimples on my neck. I use it in conjunction with ACV. I do my ACV treatment and then just before bed I use AHA+ sparingly and gently. It works for me.

Cons:

I have only used it for two weeks.

Give this a shot!!! It is worth the price.

The consistency..

It works well on my Keratosis Pilaris.  The pigment in my bumps lightened and it smoothed my skin. However the smells is not pleasant and it's very runny, it's like water. I do not believe it's supposed to be this way.

I achieved clear skin with the acne regimen and decided to incorporate AHA lotion to my routine but it broke me out bad :( any tips? Is this a normal reaction to the product?

That is normal at first, but if you stick it out your skin will clear and normalize , as in not be dry.

Excellent for keratosis pilaris

I’ve had keratosis pilaris on the back of my arms for decades. I did not know what it was for a long time and was only recently diagnosed by a dermatologist, who suggested that I try AHA on the affected areas. Within two weeks of applying acne.org’s AHA, I saw the number of bumps decrease, even though I was only applying it once every 2-3 days. It has been several months now and my arms are almost completely smooth, leaving behind just the hyperpigmentation that remains from years of picking at the skin. I hope that the AHA will even out the skin tone with time!

Best Treatment For Back

I've been using the AHA+  for 8 yrs  and it has kept my back acne free.  I'd like to note that my back acne was at the very least moderate.  I used to get painful dime sized pimples on my back.

Amazing, when used with caution

I have been using this product alongside the acne.org regime and I am SO BEYOND THANKFUL for the results so far! No only had my severe cystic disappeared, but my awful hyperpigmentation is slowly starting to fade! 

So I have been using the regime for two solid months, and the AHA for a solid month from today! My face went from a textured, red, lumpy mess to being soft to the touch with only a few under the skin non-infected cystic bumps that should eventually fade away by themselves. These bumps still have some hyperpigmentation to them, but so far they are now pink rather than an angry red! 

I will warn. START SLOW. Once tontwoce a week for the first week or so. Don’t do what I did. I used it three times in the first week, saw my face redden, and thought that this was normal. Then I applied it everyday along with the moisterizer. I went BEET RED for about a week. I pushed through and now my face is back to normal skin tone. However, just last night, I used a little too much AHA and not enough moisterizer to help dilute it and After I applied the BP (just two thirds of a fingers length) my face again went beet red! It went away after a couple of hours, but I was freaking out! 

Slower is better with AHA. And I can’t wait to see how far I can go with this product!

Love it!!

I use AHA+ mainly as a spot treatment and I swear by it! When I see or feel a zit forming, I apply AHA+ at that area after applying moisturizer, by the end of the day or morning after, it’s either barely there or gone! I also use it occasionally in place of moisturizer to help even out my skin tone. AHA+ is definitely worth it!
