Pros:

speeds up healing process, clearer skin tone

Cons:

Not terribly hydrating, sour smell

I got this product because it was the only AHA I could find. It works pretty well at speeding up the healing process and helping red marks go away. It also makes my skin really smooth, improves the quality of my shave, and prevents ingrown hairs. I do think the 12% is a little much though, so I would recommend a smaller concentration.

Pros:

Has reduced my acne significantly; acne shrinks faster & scars seems to be fading with constant use

Cons:

Stings when used after clindamycin phosphate

Works, but painful. I think that has been keeping my skin in decent condition over the past year. My skin was horrible before I found this product last year.

Pros:

very light, smells nice

Cons:

a bit tingly when you put it on

quit using retin-a and renova; this is cheap and does the same thing without making your skin peel

Pros:

Seems to speed up zit process, almost overnight or 1-2 days

Cons:

Stings fore a few minutes after putting it on.

My Rite Aid didn't have the advanced so I got this 12% version. I'll deal with the moments of stinging if it's exfoliating and quickening the zits. Still have redness from old zits so hoping continued use will help them fade.

Pros:

dab a chunnk on a dark scab and sometimes by the end of the day the scab just comes off..

Cons:

does nothing to preexisting or forming acne, just makes it bigger puss filled cysts.

if it stings, it means it's working.
