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

After battling adult hormonal acne for almost ten years, I think I have found something that actually works on a consistent basis. This product is seriously the REAL DEAL. Not only does it moisturize, but it clears your skin. I didn't think there was a product on the market that could do that! I am IN LOVE with this. I do want to emphasize that because this product is not harsh at all, it takes a really long time for your pores to purge completely. That being said, your skin will appear to get worse, and stay bad for a few weeks before you really begin to see improvement. Also, if you are a compulsive skin picker like I am, I advice you to really make an effort not to pick while using this product. The AHA is continuously removing the top layer to your skin, so picking at acne underneath the skin is going to increase your chance of spreading bacteria to surrounding areas of your face. Good luck :)

Give it a try! It's inexpensive, and works really well. You can't lose! :)

a good buy

This is a great product especially for spot treatment. It can make your face a little red, so I only use it at night when I am having a break out. Be careful on putting this on the more sensitive areas of your face as it can make it burn and itch. ALWAYS WEAR A GOOD SUNSCREEN IF YOU ARE USING THIS PRODUCT AS IT MAKES YOU BURN EASIER!!! My only real complaint of this product is that it is only available in a super huge tube. I don' t use that much total product, and would love to be able to buy a 2-3 oz. tube so that I don't have to have such a large tube to store and so that it doesn't lose efficiency before I can get it used up.

Great product does exactly what it says it does.

when i first started using this, like others, my face would turn a bit red and would burn. but, believe me - the sensation will go away with regular use and it is WORTH getting through that initial adjustment phase. depending on how i feel, i use this product either every night, or every other/third night, and it leaves my skin feeling insanely smooth and also looking very clear. i definitely also notice the "glow" that other reviewers have mentioned. if your skin really gets irritated (sometimes mine does, if i haven't used the product for several days and then i try to use it again, or if my skin is feeling particularly dry), then i mix 1/2 AHA with 1/2 moisturizer and use that instead of the full dose of AHA alone. overall, this is seriously a miracle product in my book!

i just have a question about this product, my skin is sensitive and most likely I don't have acne on my face just one or two on the side of my face, but i have a lot of scars red marks from an acne before , can i use this product without the bp ?, because i have seen in a lot of reviews that people use it with bp, or do i have to use bp since I don't have breakouts ?, I'm welling to buy the product because i want to get red off the redmarks and scars,

About a year ago I broke out with horrific bumps (large, red, sore) all around the right side of my chin and under the right side of my nose. I have no idea what caused it, but I found the acne.org site and was reviewing products and decided to try this. I was also put on Acana. Within about 1 month the sores were gone. I still have one red mark from the one under my nose, but I have no other sign that I got this strange breakout. I have never had bad acne so this was pretty bad. I had to get 7 cortisone injections and this caused severe indentations in my skin (normal for cortisone injections). It took 8 months for the skin to return to normal. I am convinced that the alpha hydroxy helped in that process as well. It is very worth a try.

This is another great product from Dan. This product along with the benzoyl peroxide has made a huge difference in my skin. I'm not sure if I would say it's a great spot treatment, but it definitely helps to improve skin tone. Highly recommended.

I DO really like this product. I use it any night I look at my dry, cleansed face and there's a decent amount of flakes. You can literally rub the dead skin from your face after using this. The burning is pretty bad but it doesn't last long. I use an ice cube in a baggy to cool my face down. This is definitely either a night-only product or to use on days you're staying home the entire day, because it makes you so vulnerable to the sun and it does make your face red for a while. Buy I end up not looking ragged! =D
