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

I wanted to like this so much, but sadly I break out whenever I try to use it. Perhaps it's because my skin is so oily, I don't know. I'll still be keeping it for those flaky skin emergencies, but with regular use it gives me spots in places I've never had them before. Still, it gets three stars for doing what it says it will. I think it's me that's the problem here rather than the product! Ha.

It stung a bit when I first put it on, and my face turned a little red for about a minute. After that, I forgot I had it on. I haven't really decided how often I should use it; when it first came, I was excited about trying it and used it three nights that week. However, I've only used it a few times since then, since I've been focusing on using BP to clear my acne. Now that I'm all clear, I'm thinking of incorporating it into my routine again a few nights a week. If you have oily skin, I would definitely recommend this.

I've used AHA before and it has always been a pain to work with leaving clumps behind. The first few times I used this there was a layer of dead skin cells that came off so you might want to only apply it at night. My skin is smooth again! :) This literally eliminated my need to exfoliate, and does less damage to the skin because there is no harsh rubbing. Be careful of the sun because this does help take the pigment from your skin. When I tan I just add a mild sunscreen to my face.:)

Well, I'm reviewing this product a second time. For some reason, I decided to try the "natural" route, and to not use any chemicals, but facials. Big and expensive mistake. The facials weren't cheap, and my acne kept getting worse and worse, some eventually developed into cystic, and some scarring. Finally, I decided to go back and start using this again. I think my problem was that I was using it too often. .applying it two or three times daily, instead of once. I went to see my dermatologist, and he recommended accutane, which I didn't even want to consider. (Have been on it twice already). He did put me on retin-a micro, so between that and the aha, has cleared me up considerably over the span of a couple of weeks. By the way, I also eat healthily. .avoiding processed foods, chicken and fish instead of red meat, lots of veggies, limiting the sugar intake. Cutting out dairy seemed to help, too.

I don't think I can express how much love I feel for this product. AHA has totally changed the look and texture of my skin post acne. As someone who is pretty pale by fault every discoloration on our faces are more noticeable. Not only is acne more obvious but then we get clear and are stuck with red marks that are just as bad. I started incorporating AHA into my regime a month into the Acne.org regimen. I mixed it with moisturizer a few nights a week. Then slowly that graduated to using it every night with moisturizer then eventually only a full face of AHA a few times a week. Before I knew it the red marks were gone and most of the time people can't even tell I had acne to begin with. It is a process yes, but with results I got from this stuff I make sure I always have some on hand for any minor breakouts that I get. Tip: If you are on the regimen my advice would be to spot treat the red marks before you apply BP. For me this made the redness go away much faster.

AMAZING! I had been using Dan's regimen but after three months my face was still incredibly red and flaky, albeit without any zits. I ordered the AHA in hopes that it would help and now it is the ONLY facial product I use. I was my face with his cleanser and then apply the AHA morning and night and my skin is incredible and hasn't look this good in years. THANK YOU DAN

When I first received this, I seriously wasn't expecting the tube to be as big as it is. Definitely worth the price tag as you won't find a product of equal value for that kind of price. I've not used it for a long time, just nightly for a few days, but it's already made a huge impact on the condition of my skin. It gets rid of all the little scaly flakes BP leaves me with, and it only stings for a little while... nothing horrendous or too bad to deal with. My skin feels so smooth today that I have to stop myself from touching it, it's almost like it's not even mine. AHA is a little miracle in a tube. The price I've listed is inclusive of shipping, if you get it in the US it'll obviously be cheaper for you.

i use this product twice a day after being on Dan's regimen for a month and it did help with the dryness of my skin. The other reason I bought this product is because I read the reviews that it does help with the acne scars, but having used this for 3wks now I still haven't seen any improvements with my scars. As a spot treatment, that didn't work for me either. I'll keep using it tho and see if a few more weeks will make a difference. I only use a small amt AM & PM and its enough for the entire face then sunscreen after in the morning.

Buy it! You won't regret it.

It really combats the dryness you experience with the BP. I haven't seen fading of the red spots from old pimples yet, and I'm sort of disappointed in that, but maybe it just takes some time. I did have some purging when I first used it, which was not so cool. In general, though, I would recommend this at least as a moisturizer.
