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:

Calms my skin down, my acne scars are disappearing... even the old ones, faster than most other chemical exfoliant products I've used. Keeps my skin moisturised without being too oily, sits well under makeup.

Cons:

None I can think of.

For the price, this product is totally worth it and a must try. I can't imagine living without it. Oh but do remember to wear sunscreen. This is also useful for other areas of your body that needs a littls exfoliation and moisturising: eg. knee cap, feet, etc...

Pros:

Makes my skin soft and smooth, reduces acne, gets rid of hyperpigmentation.

Cons:

None so far!

I have used this product for 2 months now and i love it! I use it at night in place of my moisturizer. It makes my skin soft and my acne has really improved! Plus it also reduces the appearance of my scars. Great product!

Pros:

Skin is BEAUTIFUL! Keeps pimples away and reduces redness. My skin looks incredible! My skin has cleared up dramatically in the past6 months (on the regimne) and this is the icing on the cake for me.

Cons:

Balls up after its dried but I can't tell if it my skin or the product...no biggie though!

This product is phenominal! You have to try it!

Pros:

it does its job by exfoliating your skin. reduces dark spots from acne scars.

Cons:

i don't think there is a single one for me. it can sting a little i guess.

this product is amazing. i have been using for 2 weeks or so and using it as a spot treatment for my dark brown spots from my acne scars and let me tell you, it has been the only thing i've used at home to reduce these spots. they are MUCH lighter and i can't stress that enough. if using it on your entire nightly and daily it will even your skin tone and make your lighter. this is an excellent product, thanks DAN!

Pros:

Cleared my skin, yay! Made it soft and smooth, got rid of clogged pores. A little goes a long way.

Cons:

Stings a bit sometimes but nothing too bad. Have to avoid the sun, but one should do that anyway.

I love this product. I use it as suggested in the book "The Acne Cure". In the morning I wash my face in the shower and apply a little bit of the lotion to my wet skin. I leave it on while I shower and wash it off with just water before I get out. I use Avene Clean-Ac Moisturizer mixed with a few drops of water. In the evening I wash my face and dry it. I put a little of the lotion in my hand and add a few drops of water and massage it on my face. I leave it on for 5 mins to an hour depending on how much time I have and then I wash it off with water. After my skin is dry I apply Dan's BP Treatment which I also love. My skin is almost perfect, only left-over red marks are there and a few clogged pores which come out easily. It has also worked great on my back and on clogged pores on my chest and arms.

Pros:

Great exfoliating. Pleasant scent. Easy transition from Neutrogena Healthy Skin Face Lotion (NHSFL), and has a higher concentration of AHA than NHSFL. Economical. I wake up with dewy, smooth skin. Packaging makes it easy to dispense.

Cons:

Texture a little thick, which can make it a bit hard to spread around. It also tends to ball up a bit.

I'm a fan. If it were a slightly thinner texture and didn't ball up, I'd be a huge fan.

Pros:

Evens out my skin tone and fades some new scars (for old scars, not much improvements). Reduces some black and white heads on my cheeks and nose. Controls some flaking issues as well.

Cons:

High shipping cost. Stings a little upon application. Packaging is not so good quality. Some parts of the plastic was split open by the time I received it. But I scotch tape it back anyway. Not a big problem though as the content did not leak.

I've been using it for 2 weeks and I breaks out a little initially. I think the skin needs some time to get use to it. The fragrance might be overpowering initially but after using for a while, it's actually smells nice. :)

Pros:

Reduced acne, smoothed my skin, evened complexion.

Cons:

Makes my face shiny and clumps sometimes

I didn't like it at first because it would clump up and make my really shiny, but I figured out I had been using too much of it. a little goes a long way on your face. i use it after my morning shower, and then spf on top of it. It works very well if your skin is not too sensitive. i did have a pretty bad initial breakout, but i gave it a chance and it is now a staple in my regimen. i tried hundreds of products and i am glad to say i have found a regimen that keeps me 99% clear!

Pros:

I loved how it went on smooth and left my skin smooth too.

Cons:

I was 99% clear and thought I'd try this--YIKES!! Broke me out all over..I'm just now recovering. It also balls up if you dont let it dry completely before applying makeup, etc.

I had to stop because I couldn't deal with the breakouts. I liked how it exfoliates--but my face was all broken out. YUCK
