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:

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!

Pros:

Smoother complexion, better tone to my face, less red marks, no need to exfoliate anymore.

Cons:

Not good if sunbathing.

Received a sample of AHA in the post a couple of weeks ago, and was excited to start using it. I use it in the evenings after bp. My red marks from previous acne have visibly faded, and my whole face has a much better tone to it, my family have agreed and I feel a lot more confident going without makeup some days. It's not good to use if your sunbathing at all, something I tried recently and my skin went really flakey afterwards. It's great at moisturising, I was afraid it wouldn't hydrate my skin enough but it's doing it's job well! This has been a great help for me because I've recently come off dianette and my skin has been breaking out loads just before I received the AHA, so it's new hope that I can finally get clear and I may not have to consider accutane.

Pros:

Within days of trying this product, I fell in love with it and will probably buy it again. I use it as a moisturizer, too. It is very gentle, makes complexion feel smoother within days, moisturizes, exfoliates, fragrance-free yet smells nice.

Cons:

I cant think of any. If you are looking for a strong peel, go to a professional skin care salon. But if you are looking for a gentle AHA peel, this is probably the best stuff out there.

This stuff is addicting! I'll definitely be buying it again. It didn't burn my skin (well, it tingled when I applied it after exfoliating =P). If you are trying to save money, this product doubles as a moisturizer!

Pros:

One of the best AHA so far !! Very light and doesnt irritate the skin and I never broken out from using it.

Cons:

ALWAYS wear sunscreen before going outside because 10% glycolic acid is pretty strong.

I been using many type of AHA, and they all do the job at making the skin softer and fade red marks. With AHA+ I could see improvement within 2 weeks rather than the NHSL took around 3-4 weeks to see results. Whats amazing about AHA+ is that It can clear bumps or marks that I couldnt with other AHA products....

Pros:

A MUST! bring blemishes to the surface and make skin softer. it also is good to use exfoliant when using it so all the dead skin goes and it makes your skin really even! :)

Cons:

haven't stumbled upon any

It really refines your skin. if you have a few zits here and there just a dab and the next day it will appear and from there you do what you want.if you want perfect skin you need to buy it. :D

Pros:

Smells great, nice lotion texture, a lot of product for your money, flip top cap dispenses just the right amount. Dries fairly quickly.

Cons:

Sometimes it balls up on certain parts of my face. Not sure why-it's totally random. would not recommend using this during the day due to the balling up issue and the sensitivity to the sun factor.

I use this after I apply the BP. I wait 10 minutes to let the BP dry, then apply the AHA all over my face. I use about a pea and a half. I havent noticed anything major on my face, but i have only been using it for a week. I did not feel a sting or anything. I am using it on my neck too and it SEEMS a bit smoother? My neck creases don't seem to be as noticeable? I don't see any lighting of my dark spots (yet) though. Not sure if will repurchase.
