Pros:

Affordable, did not sting too much on my skin and was not oily, rather very hydrating. Have only used it maybe 4 to 6 times now, but see a slight change in acne scars.

Cons:

hard to get, but luckily live near an Ulta store.....

I did not have to use a moisturizer on top. The next day however my skin feels a little bit dry but I put more moisturizer on those areas. Lighter acne scars and smaller pores. I think I have to use it longer to see more change so I will come here in a few weeks and post my comments. Note: normal skin type, with some breakouts around my period.

Pros:

This gives an extra kick to the BP in the regimen.

Cons:

Takes a little bit longer to dry than the BP, so getting dressed in the AM and PM is a bit longer than without the regimen, but I'll sacrifice sleeping in for clearer skin!

My back acne is a lot more stubborn than the facial acne, but I'm optimistic that I'll see results soon with the AHA.

Pros:

Works very well with BP to clear up cysts, blackheads, etc. quicker than BP alone.

Cons:

Stings! Takes getting used to even if you've used the Neutragena lotion with AHA

I've only used this with BP and it definately clears up visible acne faster than BP alone. I use it all over my face with BP at night, and on my worst skin areas with BP during the day. However, it does sting and takes getting used to.

Pros:

Gentle on face, neck, and chest
Very moisturizing
Didn't irritate skin or cause breakouts
Fairly cheap

Cons:

Too heavy for day time use
Have to order online

I started using this moisturizer after I had been using the Alpha Hydrox Foaming Cleanser for about two or three months. I had originally been using the Oil Free(also 10% AHA) but had been wanting to find something that gave me the AHA without having to be supplemented with a moisturizer. And though I enjoy this product, I find it is too heavy for my skin during the day. It's impossible to maintain my makeup all day over this base, so I've come to use this at night, alternating between it and the souffle.

Pros:

skin is softer, breakouts happen less often and are less severe, wrinkles are less noticeable, great for resistant skin like mine, skin is less oily during the day

Cons:

can sting/burn if you have sensitive skin, due to exfoliating should only be used at night or under strong sunscreen

I love this product! MY skin is 100% better than it was a year ago when I 1st started using it. The large wrinkle across my forehead is almost invisible and my acne has been brought under control. Also has been instrumental in getting rid of red and pink acne scars. Will use as long as its made :)

Pros:

It's not a cure all, but can make skin smoother and clearer.

Cons:

May take a while to work. Can sting.

When I started using this years ago, because nothing else was working, it did help my skin become smoother, which I was very happy with. However, it did not clear it up entirely. I do have a LOT fewer blackheads and whiteheads,my skin is smoother, and I have been happy with the result. It can work well-- to the individual that asked, presumably it causes renewal of the skin, which is why it can help clear up the skin, and/or keep skin fresh vs. wrinkles. I HIGHLY recommend it, but want to stress it's not a cure-all, it takes some getting used to, and it requires use for more than a couple of days.

Pros:

It did a wonderful job on the pebbly-feeling, non-inflammed acne on my cheeks. It has started improving the uniformity of my skin tone (I have quite a few dark spots from inflammed acne.)

Cons:

Stings a little...but it's working. Slight sunburn once in the 2 wks I've been using it (I added sunscreen in AM now)

Since I've started Dan's BP regimen (almost a month now), I've seen steady improvement. My skin doesn't shed old cells very well & so adding the AHA seemed to jump-start the exfoliation process. It worked a miracle on the embedded non-inflammed acne on my cheeks. Now I don't feel compelled to try to dig them out (ouch!). My skin is much smoother...dark spots fading...I'll keep using it indefinitely.
