Pros:

I believe it moisturizes. Not sure if maybe I'm not consistent with this product, however, I dont break out from it.

Cons:

I'm not impressed with this product, very small changes (if any), it burns when it is applied but nothing too crazy. Was led to believe I'll fall in love with my skin but I'm not impressed.

Not sure.

Pros:

- smoothes skin tremendously
- in my opinion, it smells good.
- diminishes scars and red marks.

Cons:

- purging period

I have been using bp for about 2 and a half weeks, and I started using this a week ago, first without bp, then both at night. I dunno, I guess you're not supposed to.. but it didn't burn that bad for me. However I only use bp at night. Anyways, this product is amazing! And since bp is claimed to have aging effects on the skin, I love this because it counteracts that. On my scars, I've seen some improvement.. but not much yet, I'll see. For acne overall, I don't feel this helps much, but the flakiness from the bp is gone! Thanks Dan for sharing this amazing product, I love it! :)

Pros:

Smooths skin tone, evens complexion

Cons:

Balls up sometimes (maybe I'm using too much), makes you more prone to sunburn, leaves yellow marks on clothes

I tried using this instead of BP + moisturizer in the morning, and I stayed clear for about a month. Then I suddenly broke out very badly. Using BP + AHA in the morning and at night, my skin is clearing up very fast, and it's almost perfect now.

Pros:

Works on Back acne

Cons:

Doesn't work on face

Worst mistake of my life was putting this stuff on my forehead. It has caused dark spots which won't go ahead and cause my forehead to keep breaking out.

Pros:

moisturizing

Cons:

too moisturizing for people are not using BP and dont have the flaky skin issue.
with the same reason, I can't increase amount of AHA without getting greasy.

I think I am better off with salicylic acid. will never purchase this again, I will consider if it come up with another AHA product without moisturizing feature.

My skin burned, itched, my entire face swelled and I couldn't sleep for days! The area around my eyes swelled and I looked like a monster. I thought I was going to die from the burning. Even though I washed it off, it continued getting worse for the next 2 days. Then it started getting a little better... I just regret it so much now! It's a stupid idea to put acid directly on the skin. AHA is acid! Maybe it helps a little if you have wrinkles, but it makes acne worse. Don't use this stuff! Read the FDA reports on this stuff BEFORE using it! IT'S ACID. IT'S AN ALARMING IDEA TO PUT ACID ON THE SKIN.

Pros:

it has Alpha hydroxy acid

Cons:

IT IS ESTROGENIC.

Why would you add licorice estract, which is estrogenic? As a guy, I don't want more women's hormones.

Use it if you want, but there is a correlation between todays generation of ultra feminine men and the use of these estrogenic topicals/foods. F'ing waste of my money
