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.

Pros:

calms skin, reduces flakes, helps acne

Cons:

makes me a bit shiny when the weather is hot (or maybe just doesn't combat shine?).

This is a very gentle product; even if it tingles a bit, it doesn't irritate the skin. It also works great as a spot treatment as well as for the chest, back and arms (I love it for my arms, it keeps them really smooth, none of those little bumps at all!). I have only used it for a few weeks and need to use it longer to know all the results.

Pros:

Clears up my red marks, and also kills any new forming acne.

Cons:

The burn, but it is a good burn!

It will probably take a month for you to see results. I have been using it for 3 months and I just found out the more the merrier!

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!
