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

Pros:

Made my skin noticeably smoother and more even-toned. Doesn't make my skin feel oily or greasy. Absorbs nicely. Sits well under makeup.

Cons:

Increases the skin's sensitivity to sunlight. Always wear sunscreen!

I have oily skin. I bought the AHA lotion after reading rave reviews on this website, and I must say that after using it for only a few days, I've really enjoyed it. I used to moisturize with Proactiv's Repairing Lotion (benzoyl peroxide formula), but this has been much more affective. I only have to use a little amount for my entire face -- this tube will last a long, long time, so you've got more bang for your buck. Great price. A must-have for acne-prone skin.

Pros:

Skin did improve on the majority of my face

Cons:

It caused big red bumps on my chin, I only used it twice and had to stop using it, the bumps are now beginning to clear up

I was 99% percent clear before using it, I just wanted a good way to exfoliate my skin, but unfortunately this wasn't for me, my super sensitive skin couldn't handle it and it caused cystic acne on my chin. It is an excellent product though if your skin isn't as reactive.

Pros:

Clears up skin better than benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid or retinol.

Cons:

Flip lid is difficult to open, slight stinging upon application but ONLY for a few seconds.

I've had acne since I was 15, I am 31 now and alpha hydrox products are the only thing that keep it under control. I'm so glad I stumbled upon this website. I don't follow the regimen, I only wash my face with the Alpha Hydrox soap free cleanser and alternate that with an exfoliating scrub a few days a week, and I apply this lotion nightly. I also use the Alpha Hydrox peels once a week to keep acne at bay. This alpha hydrox lotion works as well, if not better than the Alpha Hydrox Souffle or Lotion. Awesome!

Pros:

Smells great, lots of product for your money, great packaging, fast absorbing.

Cons:

Broke me out! Felt just like regular lotion.

Experienced many clogged pores after using this. Tried several times, but each time broke out in clogged pores. Very sad. Wanted it to work

Pros:

Amazing product for treating acne and red marks, smooths skin

Cons:

a little too shiny to use in the morning

This is by far the best AHA I have ever tried. It works the best at reducing inflamed and non-inflamed acne of any product I have ever used. It even zaps red marks fast. This product has given me my first two weeks that I was 100% clear in a long time. It complements the regimen so well that I highly recommend it to everyone. Plus, it has a light fruity smell that I like.

Pros:

Makes my skin look amazing, goes on smoothly, absorbs quickly

Cons:

Can't use in the morning

I've been using this product for about two weeks, and I LOVE it. Previously, I had used Neutrogena's Healthy Skin lotion, which I liked, but I never had as good of a result as I do with Dan's AHA. It smoothed out my skin, reduced some red marks along the sides of my face, and it even seems to reduce my current acne. The smell is a bit strong, but I don't find it unpleasant. And since I only use a few dabs at night, and the bottle is huge, it'll probably last a long time. I def recommend this!
