Pros:

Helps fade remarks

Cons:

burns a little

Ok this is my update i've been on it for over a 2months now and my red marks are fading little by little. I have now instead of just putting this one by itself put BP then 1 hour later this lotion but be warned this will make your face turn red but once you wash it off in the morning its not that bad. i'd so go for it people but for those with deeper scars i'm not sure if this will really help but its worth the try.

For those who suffer from Keratosis Pilaris
I have KP (Keratosis Pilaris) and have used the 12% A.H.A lotion. It has worked miracles on my arms, and shoulders. I will combine with the Alpha Hydrox Foaming Face Wash and exfoliate with it. Then apply the lotion. It has completely smoothed out the bumps and skin texture has softened incredibly. The only con about it is that it's thick and will leave a slight stickiness to your skin but it moisturizes wonderfully. I don't recommend using the 12% if you have sensitive skin or are just starting out. KP sufferers usually can tolerate stronger things on their skin because of the build up of keratin and dead skin.

Pros:

cleared up dark acne marks and other hyperpigmentation on my face; affordable; lasting product

Cons:

found only on [link removed]

I started using this product about two weeks ago and I can tell it's working. BP has helped control my mild case of acne but occasional zits cause hyperpigmentation and stays for months! I hated this so I tried the Alpha-Hydroxy to speed pass this process by Dan's rec. I see the dramatic improvement in my dark marks clearing up faster than without this product. I did go thru some mild purging that I think is seasonal more than anything. I didn't have an burning or stinging since my skin has been trained by habitual use of BP. These two products together are a double punch to acne and dark marks. I'm going to dry this lotion for other older hyperpigmented scars on my body.

Pros:

I am 45 and have used this line for 7 years. I do not have wrinkles and have a perfectly smooth neck. Love the 12% soufle (sp). Don't know what I would do without it. I use it after every shower, on moist, warm skin. I don't wear makeup.

Cons:

Hard to find. Walmart stopped carrying it. I get it at Walgreens.

I don't know what I would do without it. I am asked constantly by new people, how old I am and stun them everytime. I don't use soap on my face. Just the Alpha Hydrox products after I shower.
