Pros:

reduces pimples and marks
helps to minimize wrinkles
Skin feels smoother/softer and looks brighter.

Cons:

increase in pimples over the first week or so

I'd used this for a couple of years as part of a regimen - salacylic acid wash in the am, followed by a light Benzoyl Peroxide coating or spot treatment as needed. At night another sal acid wash then the Alpha Hydrox. After a while, I thought my skin had cleared up, so I stopped. Big mistake. I'm going to order more of this product and start up again. There is a BIG difference.

I have used this lotion for over 6 months, and I have seen a dramatic change in the overall appearance of my skin. I use it every night on my face and back. I have less acne and my skin just glows. It is definitely the best product that I have found.

Pros:

- combined w/ AHA souffle -> beautiful glowing skin
- lightweight
- absorbs easily, as long as you don't smear it on in large amounts
- making my skin look much healthier and brighter
- helps fade red marks left over from previous acne
- gentle enough for dry skin
- improving overall texture of my skin

Cons:

- tingling sensation on face that last about 10-15 min.
- smell is a little strong

I am in love with this product and the 12% Glycolic Acid Souffle. I have tried many natural remedies like turmeric, honey, olive oil.. but this product is the only thing that seems to be working for my skin. I have only used this product for about 2.5 weeks, but I am already noticing a big difference in the appearance of my skin. It looks healthy, feels soft, and looks bright and even. Also, since my skin is improving, I'm finding that it takes a lot less time to apply my makeup. I no longer need heavy foundation AND powder to cover my red spots. Instead, I dust a few layers of loose powder on my face, and I am ready to go. The recommended time to use this product is about 8-10 weeks, and I have only used it for *about* 3. I will continue using this product since I am already seeing results. I hope they never discontinue this or the souffle because I will continue to use both of those products to maintain the illuminated, radiant skin that I have now.

Pros:

Keeps acne under control... helps shrink new pimples faster... a little goes a long way. Helps with clearing dry skin and making skin tone even and smooth!

Cons:

Stings a bit- do not apply too much or too often. Work up slow. A little runny- if you apply too much, you will look oily.

I used this before with the Regimen (BP) and it worked wonderfully. I had stopped for about 2 years and my skin started breaking out again. I am going to be using this again but not with the BP Regimen- instead I am going to wash less and just use mainly this AHA lotion instead of piling on too many items at once. Hope it works- Update in a few weeks...

Pros:

This is a great product. I noticed results within two weeks of nightly application. My skin is smoother and seems to glow. It really helps to exfoliate my skin. I love it and I use this everyday after my benzoyl peroxide treatment gel.

Cons:

If you use too much then there is a burning sensation. But it usually goes away. I think you have to build up a tolerance for this product so don't use too much at once.

Give it a try. It's affordable and the bottle will last you a long time. It's been 4 months and I still haven't finished half the bottle.

Cons:

None

I have been using this product for years (at least 10) for adult acne. I am 51 years old and am told all the time I don't look a day over 30. This product not only keeps your face clear and glowing, it helps prevent aging!
