Pros:

-Smooth/Soft skin!
-Prevent acne!
-Skin tone looks great!

Cons:

-Can't enjoy the sun... :(

I LOVE this product! My skin looks great! I have used it as a moisturizer at night for a whole week. After putting the AHA+, I notice that my red bumps (acne under my skin) disappear! It's great! Not only it give my skin a beautiful glow, it also prevent acne if you catch them fast! This product is a must! You will love the AHA+. It works great with the Acne.org BP too. The only problem is that you can't enjoy the sun when you use it! :( So.. I only use it once in a while right now.

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.

Pros:

makes my skin soft; brings a few white/blackheads out onto the surface so then it's easier to extract them from the pores; helps reduce whiteheads

Cons:

makes the oily areas of my skin a little greasy (unlike with salicylic acid) after several hours; causes a little sting on non-acne-prone areas

I use it only once in the evening but I apply sunscreen both in the morning and evening. I can see that, very slowly, it helps improve my skin by slowly reducing the whiteheads on my forehead and back. It took around 2 weeks to notice small improvements. On my cheeks (front) and nose, blackheads become more noticeable as if they move up to the surface. Unlike the whiteheads on my forehead, I feel the need to manually extract the blackheads on my cheeks and nose simply because they're noticeably unsightly. I notice that it also softens my skin even without the addition of moisturizer/jojoba oil. However, it makes my forehead, nose and cheeks (just the oily front area) greasy when I wake up in the morning, especially during the first days. With chest acne, it works a lot more slowly. The only improvement I've seen is that it has dried out small papules but the bumps (with the whiteheads) are still there. I haven't seen any improvement with my hyperpigmented

Pros:

It does an extremely good job of taking redness out of my face and off the pimples on my neck. I use it in conjunction with ACV. I do my ACV treatment and then just before bed I use AHA+ sparingly and gently. It works for me.

Cons:

I have only used it for two weeks.

Give this a shot!!! It is worth the price.

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.
