Pros:

Helps fade red marks quickly, helps popped zits and small whiteheads disappear fast, dries very fast so I can sleep with it on, also it doesn't make my face red on contact like other AHAs so I can go out right after applying it.

Cons:

May clause slight purging (I've experienced a little bit on my chin), it balls up if you rub your skin after it dries (makes it a little hard to apply makeup if its on my skin).

(my skin has fairly light acne with a lot of red marks and some shallow scarring) Overall I'm really happy with this product. I think its definitely worth the money for the shipping. Ive been using it for about 5 days and I can already see my red marks starting to fade away as well as the overall tone of my skin improving. I cant wait to see how my skin progresses over the next couple of weeks, I definitely will continue to use this.

Pros:

Nice consistency,spreads easily.Exfoliates well

Cons:

A bit drying and irritates my skin if used more than once a day

It could use some more soothing ingredients like Aloe in it as it is a bit harsh on Sensitive skin. It does it's job but there are others out there that don't irritate so much

Pros:

lightens past marks (hyper-pigmentation) from past acne, makes skin super smooth, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, provides a glow to the skin

Cons:

NONE

this product is amazing! i use it at night as part of dan's regimen. it leaves my skin so soft and the pores have been reduced to nothing. even my skin seems visibly younger! i also put in on my chest at night due to sun exposure and have seen a great difference in appearance and fine lines. this is worth its weight in gold!

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:

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:

Light consistancy, smells neutral (not bad), works really well, absorbs easily

Cons:

none at all

I have used this 3 times and have cleared up all but the three bad zits I had. While I love the regimen, I find that the BP can literally be aging. This seems to bring me back, if you will, to looking 30-ish :) I love how this sinks right in and is a great night moisturizer. I am ready to pull the trigger and buy another. Dan we need a travel size!

Pros:

Very moisturizing, light, effective!!

Cons:

I don't so much like how fast it comes out of the tube, but it's not that hard to just be patient with it.

I bought this stuff because of the reviews I read on here, and have been using it for about a week. I bought it so I could try to heal my back, which frequently breaks out. You guys, I've used this for a week and already my back is almost all the way better!! This morning I woke up to find all the newest zits gone and the old scars have already begun to fade! This stuff is a miracle, and I would recommend it to anybody who wants to make their back look amazing. I've just begun using it along with my moisturizer on my face and will post another one about how that goes ;) YAY for AHA!!!

Pros:

its a great moisturizer, and it makes my skin look great most of the time.

Cons:

it smells bad! like bad mustard or something (it looks like bad mustard too). it also- due to the low viscosity, comes out of the bottle too much and too fast.

if you can deal with teh annoying factors, then its great ( i can) but if you have a sensitive nose do NOT buy this.

Pros:

Fades red marks, prevents new pimples from forming

Cons:

smells terrible, tastes terrible, balls up

Be patient---It works. I saw no results the 1st month, but decided to stick with it and it was worth it. I saw amazinf results the 2nd month. Red spots I thought were scars began to fade and breakouts stopped. There is an issue with balling up, but I use it seperate from the BP. I don't reccomend using it at the same time. Apply the AHA, wait 5 minutes, and then apply some moisturizer, and it won't ball up. It only balls up when you put the AHA on top of a product---not undernearth. It does smell and taste awful, but the results make up for those.
