Acne.org : AHA+ (Glycolic Acid - 10%)

I would recommend applying this to any new red marks or pimples that are developing, and on old red marks a few times per week. This can also be used all over your face as a good moisturizer/ and can help you exfoliate, but be prepared for redness for several hours!

sadly I won't buy this again. I didn't feel like it exfoliated enough and left a super greasy sticky residue. I use it as a foot/hand cream for now but I hated the feeling of it on my face. After about one weeks use I ended up breaking out. I wish this worked for me as great as other people.

This is probably the best moisturizer I have tried. When I first started Dan's regimen, my skin was EXTREMELY flaky and dry; it has never been that dry before in my entire life. This product moisturized my skin better than any moisturizer I tried. However, it is extremely greasy, and I cannot wear makeup over it because the makeulp starts to run later on in the day. I also tried it as a spot treatment-it DOES NOT WORK. There was no noticeable decrease in size or redness. Addittionally, I did not notice any decrease in fine lines (I am only 20 though, so maybe it just won't work until later on). I also didn't notice the nice "glow" that some people claim to get from using AHA. Bottom line though: it's a great moisturizer, and if that's what you are looking for, this is the best one out there.

First of all, if you are just starting the regimen PLEASE remember to wait a few weeks before you use this! I didn't read that part and used on about day 7 and whoa the burning and red face afterwards!! :( Completely my fault! I really like this. I was using Avon's glycolic acid pads and really liked them. I have to say I like this better and it is much more affordable. I use it every other day or so at night as my moisturizer and my skin looks and feels so much better in the morning. I read a few reviews and do agree it can ball up (mainly at my jaw line) but since it is the last step and I use it at night mine doesn't unless I rub it in too much.

I love this stuff. I use it on my t-zone every night and it stops pimples developing further. I haven't had any massive pimples since i started using it. Get it!

I think I've found my cream! Its helped me find that happy medium by helping killing those spots and mousturizing at the same time! I'm extremely happy with this product and if all goes well when I finish the tube, I will be buying more in bulk! Haha, happy days!

Hi, I've started using AHA after 2months of using the acne regime. My face started to clear up and I didn't have any breakouts just scars around my chin/cheeks and forehead. Since using the AHA I've started to breakout and get pigmentation around those areas. Is this normal and should I discontinue the product?

After some trial & error and research, I've concluded that I'm allergic to one of the ingredients: Glyceryl Monostearate/Glyceryl Stearate. Less than 1% of people have this reaction. I'll explain a little... I had been using this with Acne.org's AHA and BP with MUCH success for about 6 months with no reaction. So, when my eyes swelled and got scaly, red, & sore patches around them along with dry, cracking and bleeding skin in the corners of my mouth, I didn't think these products were the culprit. Eventually, I did change everything... No bp, no aha, changed make-up, changed everything. My skin started to heal. Because I had been using my products for a long time before this reaction, the culprit became difficult to pinpoint. I always remember my mom having sensitive skin. I discussed my new issues with her, and she revealed that she didn't have any skin sensitivity issues until sometime in her 30's, which was when I started to have problems. So, it would seem possible to develop an allergy and become sensitive to something that never caused issue before. Over the next few years, I developed a completely new regime that wasn't as effective as the Acne.org's BP/AHA/moisture but also didn't freak my face out. My initial thought was that it had to be the bp or aha causing sensitivity. AHA is notorious for being intolerable to some. When I would get a break out, I'd spot treat with acne.org's AHA and BP, and I'd start to feel the inklings of a reaction- patches under my eyes, itching, watery eyes... Then, I started just spot treating with the BP; that was ok. Eventually, I worked back up to using it all over every night. Other than normal BP dryness, I experienced no allergic action. I came to the (false) conclusion that it was AHA causing harm; however, I still longed for the BP/AHA results I had before my skin went crazy. I did some research on AHA's and found that people could better tolerate them when a blend of AHA's were used. I started on the (ridiculously expensive) Drunk Elephant Glycolic (AHA) serum. I've used that for months, until my first bottle was gone. Things were going well. No reactions. And now, we come back around to the Acne.org moisturizer. After months of being on the same regime (BP/Drunk Elephant AHA/same cosmetics, etc), I decided to revisit Acne.org's moisturizer. Last night, I used the moisturizer, and I woke up with swollen, watery eyes and itchy skin- all the same reactions I had years before and with Acne.org's AHA. I compared the ingredient list of both harm causing products (Acne.org's AHA and Moisturizer), and found 3 common ingredients: Butylene Glycol, Licochalcone, and Glyceryl Stearate. Butylene Glycol was also present in Drunk Elephant's AHA; I ruled that ingredient out. I researched Licochalcone and found no evidence of it as an allergen. Additionally, it's a great product for soothing sensitive skin reactions. When I researched Butylene Glycol, I found that some people can have terrible reactions. It is rare, but if you find yourself reacting to Acne.org's AHA and/or Moisturizer. This very likely could be the culprit.

I tried out using the acne.org regimen products (Cleanser, BP, Moisturizer, and AHA). I've been using them for 3 months straight. The positive side was that my acne cleared up! I have occasional breakouts, but they're just minor spots from that time of the month I guess. The downside is that my skin has been so dry. It never got used to the BP. :( My skin had been flaky and tight for a couple of months despite being clear. So I stopped using the BP all over my face, and used it for a spot treatment instead. Then I've been using the AHA every night. NOW my skin is CLEAR, SMOOTH, and SOFT. :) So happy with the results!

After using the product for 7 months, I can notice that my acne bumps and scars (which were left behind by previous acne) have faded away. Just, wow. I used to believe that nothing would make the horrible scars fade away, but this product proved me wrong. But you do have to use it everyday to see results. Promise u that after 6 months of everyday use, your marks will have faded way significantly. I first apply the acne.org benzoyl peroxide treatment, then wait 30 min.; then I apply acne.org moisturizer and AHA. I then apply the jojoba oil all over my face to avoid dryness and to smooth my skin for the next day. Lastly, I wait 10 min. and then apply the acne.org AHA as a spot treatment on all of the scars. *U have to use this product about 2 to 3 months after beginning to use benzoyl peroxide -otherwise your skin will burn too bad, and I mean it.* I have using this for 6 months, and my acne scars have significantly faded away; to do the whole regimen is annoying, but u stick with it and get your reward. I used to get embarrassed every time I approached a makeup counter at any store (because of my scars); but not anymore! I look more like myself now. You could too if u use this; but remember that it will work best and give dramatic results only if u use it every day. Oh, and it also helps the benzoyl peroxide zap zits much faster. Get it now!
