Pros:

I have seen a dramatic improvement in my red marks, beginning in the first month. I am very pleased. It does not aggravate my sensitive skin.

Cons:

It balls up a bit if you put on too much, and I can't wear it during the day underneath make up. No biggie.

This product works to moisturize skin while reducing red marks and smoothing out your skin. Use this product and stay out of the sun (wear SPF) if you want to fade the red marks.

Pros:

Makes my skin smooth, a better overall tone, heals up popped pimples fast, gets rid of old marks/scars

Cons:

It has a slight mustard smell, and I especially don't like mustard

This is a prett good product. I've been using it for about 2 weeks now, but at first, it made me broke out a little (i guess it's from all the exfoliation that AHA causes) but after the first week or 10 days, my face is starting to clear up and my old pimples are healing much more faster than it used to. I'm using it twice a day but i think that might be a little too much, but it seems to work. I'll write another review a few weeks later just to let u know how consistent it will be.

Pros:

Skin will look smoother and it will fade dark marks.
Tube lasts for a long time.
The price is so cheap for the amount of product/quality you get. and

Cons:

You have to buy online, but the shipping service is so fast.

I waited over a year to write this review. I really wanted to make sure this product worked and it does! If you have sensitive skin, or you never used glycolic acid before, your skin will sting for a couple of seconds and look pink (where applied) but after your skin is used to the product then it feels like your rubbing on a gel-cream. A little bit goes a long way and when you use this product over the BP, your skin will look so smooth the next morning. I also use this as a spot treatment and when I do, the dark mark ALWAYS seems lighter and will fade much faster. The bottom line is to try it and just order one tube and you'll be glad you did. I'm placing a new roder for this prduct today =)

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.

Slight itch but it's well worth it.

Get this stuff. I wish I had heard of AHA+ sooner.

Pros:

I have a lot of redness in my face, and AHA has worked wonders to tone down the blotchiness. It also gets rid of any old scars or discoloration. And, as an added bonus that I discovered with this product, it firms up my skin.

Cons:

You may not be too fond of the smell--it's hard to describe. It has kind of a vinegar-like aroma.

This product is amazing and unlike anything I have ever used before. My skin looks clean, fresh, and has developed a natural glow. Thanks, Dan!!!

Pros:

gets problem areas to form whiteheads and eventually fade away. Great for spot treatment after i moisturize

Cons:

burning and stinging senation lasted for an hour. it took a little long to dry

great product, like nothing else out there, if you have problem zits this should take care of them in a week or less. Just the burning is worse than any other product out there, so its not for people with very serious skin.

Pros:

formula is pure, and strong! Nothing beats it for back acne in summer. I alternate it with BP -that way I can wear something besides white Tshirts-and the combination is perfect.

Cons:

somewhat too strong for my face. Tends to very quickly "peel" the skin, so don't use it right before a massage, or your therapist will have globules of formula/dead skin piling at his/her feet!

I love this formula for the body..it makes skin smooth as butter and gets rid of all the bumps and scaly bits. I still love Dan's SA for my face, but the AHA definitely has an important place in the product lineup.

Pros:

Works amazingly for me...

Cons:

smells bad...balling effect? Not if you know how to rub it (easy as f!@#)

I've used Dan's regimen since 2005. I decided to try this because his other stuff worked. And let me tell you! This stuff made my skin improve dramatically within 3 weeks of use. I'm in my 3rd week now. Most noticeable thing about AHA was it faded scars FAST (1 week) and red spots also disappeared FAST. I use the regimen as directed, then I use this in place of moisturizer every night. It smells bad, and stings a tiny bit, but I'm going to sleep. No one's watching. Who care's. When I wake up, my skin literally looks better. No joke, and no exaggeration. This stuff works like Dan said. Maybe it's not for everyone, but you HAVE to at least try this. I would strongly recommend using Dan's products before over the counter SH!T. And no he didn't pay me to write this. I just believe in products that work.
