Pros:

evens skin tone and texture, reduces pore size, reduces appearance of red marks/brown spots, moisturizes

Cons:

balls up! can leave skin shiny/oily, excessive use can lead to breakouts

I use this product about three times a week and only at night because it can leave your skin sensitive to sunburn. At first I tried using it after the BP but it would ball up really badly and kind of clog my pores which is what I think led to a small breakout. I eliminated using the BP before or after applying the AHA and it seemed to fix my problems because it no longer balls up nor does it cause breakouts. In the morning my skin looks refreshed and kinda glows. Red marks/brown spots are diminished and any faint pimple is gone! A little goes a long way and sometimes it does sting a tiny bit for a few seconds, but it's never harsh or irritating. It can cause some shine, so I make sure to not overdo it.

Pros:

Easy to spread on, smooths the skin.

Cons:

Sometimes tends to bead up at the edges of the face.

It worked exactly how he said it would. My acne cleared up after using his regimen but after using the AHA, the texture of my skin was improved. My face has never felt this smooth before. I use it as a moisturizer at night after I apply the bp treatment.

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:

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:

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:

Works well on my body.

Cons:

Did little on my face.

It's worth it to use this AHA on the body rather than the face. For me, it did not work too well.

Pros:

Helps skin exfoliate beautifully. Gets rid of those pesky tiny flesh bumps in a flash.

Cons:

It's a bit runny, but nothing flipping the tube over can't fix.

I've been using Retin-a Micro for over a year, but still had tiny flesh bumps near my hairline. After using Acne.org's AHA+ twice, they're GONE! Also, since my skin is used to tretinoin, the AHA+ doesn't burn or turn my skin red. This stuff is fantastic!!

Pros:

Easy to apply, Leaves skin glowing

Cons:

None

I would recommend this product to everyone. I have been applying the AHA before going to bed for a month now and have not touched my BP gel and it has really helped the look of my skin. I have been receiving compliments from my friends and family as it leaves my skin glowing! I used to have such terrible skin... the BP helped get rid of it all, i then started using the AHA and it has completely cleared me. I need not apply any foundation anymore and i love how i can just walk out the house without worrying about my skin. Thanx Dan you've changed my life haha keep up the good work

Pros:

Fades red marks, helps to clear acne fast, good as a spot treatment alternative to BP spot treatments

Cons:

Slight tingling/burning sensation

Awesome product, I found it worked better when I only used a tiny bit, and rubbed it in until it was fully dried. When I used too much, it wouldn't fully absorb into my face, and wasn't as effective as when I only used a small pea sized amount.
