Pros:

Moisturizing, clears, no fragrance

Cons:

None yet :)

I remember some years ago...i was in my mid teens...Vaseline intensive care had lotion that had AHA in it...(they don't sell it anymore) and i put it on my face...and my acne was horrible. That stuff worked for me...helped clear it up some. So I was glad that years down the line, with my acne coming back, this stuff is available. I use it at night in replace of the moisturizer and I really think it helps ith the clarity of the skin. I'm a beliver. I've just started using it so i'm going to give it 4 stars for now.

Pros:

improves skin texture through gentle chemical exfoliation, moisturizing

Cons:

increases sun sensitivity, may irritate skin, online only, expensive shipping cost, has not faded red/dark spots

I've used this regularly for at least three months, morning and night, immediately after cleansing. I use less than a dime size amount, concentrating on applying the product to my problem areas, then I smooth the excess onto the rest of my face, until the product is nearly absorbed into my skin. I then apply sunscreen, then my foundation. I have not experienced a significant change in my dark spots, but I have noticed a great difference in my skin texture. It's very smooth and soft, and my breakouts don't last as long as they used to, though I still get a few monster zits that hang around for more than a week or two, usually during my cycle. This is a great moisturizer, and I find it just as effective as BP in treating my acne. It was recommended to my by my best friend. She was able to fade her red marks after a month of regular use. I don't seem to be as fortunate, but I would still recommend for gentle chemical exfoliation.

Pros:

Love the product & have used it for 1 week, morning and night. Love it. Cleanse and then use this as moisturiser. Skin looks better already. Exfoliation rate seems faster than scrubs. Light powder tones down shine. Mac Studiofix applied with a brush

Cons:

Takes 10 to 15 mins to sink in so I apply it, do my hair and then apply make-up. Easy. May sting a little on application but it's mild and passes in seconds. Looked a little shiny at first so now use a little less product.

Great product. Use to spot treat or every day twice a day. Also use as a maintenance treatment after using the regimen.I've stopped the regimen for a while and find this keeps spots at bay. Use it on my face, neck and chest.

Pros:

It is making my skin tone a lot more even and I can already see the annoying body scars going away. It's also helping immensely with the active pimples.

Cons:

It doesn't smell great, getting the stuff out of the bottle is a pain, and it takes a -really- long time to fully absorb into the skin (we're talking an hour or more!), so you have to start getting ready for your day earlier.

So far, so good. The smell fades after a while and you can cover it with perfume/hair products/non-scented moisturizer. So not a big deal. The biggest issue I have had is the drying problem, since the video says you can just apply and get dressed, but I have to wear an oversized t-shirt while I wait for it all to fully absorb, because I don't want to ruin any of my nice clothes. It is a little sticky after applying and doesn't make me feel clean and I am not using a very large amount.

hey girl! it is suggested to begin using the AHA one month into the regimen. I've been on the regimen for about 3 months now and I just started using the AHA two nights ago and I can already tell in difference in my skins texture. it is so smooth and even looking already. but I'm experiencing some redness/itch here and there. but im sure that's normal with my sensitive skin. hope this helped!

Please use AHA. 1 Pump of AHA + 1 Pump of Moisturizer + 10 drops of Jajoba Oil. You will not feel much sting. Please Please avoid direct sun exposure while using AHA. Use Sun Screen ..If you use the way i mentioned, you will not have single issue. AHA is excellent product ..

you can always ease into using it, helpful tips, make sure your skin is 100% dry, your rubbing it in lightly, you can always apply a light oil or serum before applying the aha

helped a lot!
I'm always nervous to start using a new product, but this one paid off. I had been using the basic regiment for a while, and found that I still had all these bumps on my forehead, like a permanent breakout. Using the AHA has completely cleared my forehead, which is amazing. I use half and half AHA and moisturizer in the evening, and I feel like it's definitely helping, while not drying out my skin. It's also helped as spot treatment, and shortened the duration of a new pimple. I'm continuing to have some breakouts on my chin which is strange, but I'm going to continue with the regiment plus AHA and hopefully in a little while my whole face will be as clear as my forehead now is.

Really good

Pros:

Cheap compared with other products to help with red marks, and just as effective

I was a bit nervous about using this after I read experiences of people who had gotten clogged pores from using it... my skin seems to clog with just about anything. But I was lucky to not have any clogging with this product, and no purging either. It makes my skin very soft. I have seen a bit of improvement with the red spots on my face but they're definitely still there. However, they were super red, and all over my face (basically like a huge sunburn) so I can see it is going to be a while till they fade entirely. But this product is certainly helping.

Pros:

Puts a halt to all new zits, smooths skin texture, moisturizes, evens tone. Perhaps even works better than BP (gasp)

Cons:

None, I love this stuff

Awesome stuff, everyone should try it.
