Alpha Hydrox : Enhanced Lotion (10% Glycolic Acid)

This product has worked really well. I've tried literally every over the counter and prescription acne medication (and spent thousands of dollars over the years) and this is the only one that has helped clear up my acne without severe side effects. Now only does it help existing pimples (white heads, blackheads, papules, pustules and the occasional cyst) it helps exfoliate without any flakiness or redness. There was a little redness in the beginning, but not as bad as what other people experienced. I still have scars from past breakouts and they are fading very slowly so this isn't a miracle product. However, I highly recommend it because I saw noticeable improvement without any of the really negative side effects that you get from Retin-A or benzoyl peroxide. I prefer OTC products because even with good health insurance, going to the doctor constantly is expensive. In addition to this lotion, I also use a Sodium Sulfacetamide face wash twice a day and Benzaclin in the morning.

I have oily acne prone veryyyy sensitive skin...i break out daily especially when im menstruating! if you break out i recommend you to follow dans regimen after the bp gell dries dap on some aha and wowww it dries up pimples fasttt andd its fading my acne scars that iv had for years!! i use it in the morning as well but remember to use a moisturiseer with sunblock!! if you notice that applying it all over breaks u out then simply dont use it all over just use it as a spot treatment! i think that at first it will break u out just like at first it really burns but its only temporary...keep to it..use it for at least a month and if you only see negative results then i guess this just isnt for ya butt doo give it a chance =D

Try it - but you need to try it longer than just a couple of days. It takes several weeks to turn your skin around to newer & younger looking. I am 51 and a grandmother of 5. I have used AHA for about 12-15 (I've lost track) years and people can not believe my age or that I am a grandma!

I am almost 47 years old and have been using this product for approx. 14 years. I use it twice a day after washing my face and neck. In the morning I only rinse off my face, no soap and apply AHA. In the evening I remove any makeup with ponds wipes, use a little soap and apply AHA. My skin is even, and soft to the touch. I know it's what's kept my skin clear and younger looking.

Start slowly. My derm advised me to use A-Cute Derm brand B-Kleer Pads (8% AHA) oily skin formula once a day for 8 weeks then increase to twice a day if there are no signs of irritation. A little flaking at first is okay, but major stinging, redness, and peeling are all signs that the product is too strong. Also, if you have massive amounts of flaking this can backfire and plug-up pores even more. It takes a long time to clear up blocked pores so be patient. Also a facial twice a month of steaming and extractions only helps a lot to speed up the results, then the AHA should maintain open pores. This is a great alternative to BHA exfoliants if you are prone to dryness or are allergic to asprin.

You need to use this stuff for longer than a few days to see a difference! Don't discount the stuff until you have tried it for a while. I also had some flare-ups at first, but it did help my skin look a lot smoother. It did not make all of my acne go away.

I am reviewing the aha soufflee at 12% strength. I used benzaclin in the past and it really seemed to damage my skin. Gave me fine lines on my forehead and around my mouth. So I have been using this and my lines have already diminished. I really like it. I use it all over at night and spot treat with benzaclin gel. My skin is looking good so far!

i didnt use the enhanced lotion i went to rite aid and saw the souffle' 12% glycolic acid and used it last night on two underground spots that i created when there was nothing there to begin with...stupid i know...anyways, they ended up being balloon sized at the end of the day, so picked the souffle' up and this morning all better already, well they're almost gone! it's great stuff and it's only been one night. wow hopefully it works well for every1
