Pros:

It contains Alpha Hydroxy and Vitamins, but this didn't work for me.

Cons:

-It STINGS, especially when put over inflamed areas.
-Thick and will leave face a bit greasy but not too much
-Will not remove complete dryness
-Face felt itchy after I put it on

I bought this item because I read such great reviews about it. It sounds awesome with the Alpha Hydroxy and Vitamins in it, but I had a HORRIBLE experience with this. My acne got worse after I bought it and my face become more itchy and dry. I believe it irritated my face too much. The reason could have been because I would put BP cream on areas before I used this, so perhaps the combo of this made my face react badly. Still I don't want to use this anymore. It doesn't get rid of dryness and itchiness completely and it leaves a bit of a greasy feeling on your face. If you're looking for Alpha Hydroxy use Organic Apple Cider Vinegar instead of this. It would be a good idea to test this out on your skin before you put it all over your face. Test it for a week on a certain patch of your skin to see if it makes it better or worse.

Pros:

Goes on easy.

Cons:

This stuff hurts, i have sensitive skin and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Does nothing for flakes.

i wouldn't use it again it burns bad and for a while like at least an hour, i made the mistake of getting this when i started the regimen and it was a big mistake, will be switching to cetaphil.

Pros:

?

Cons:

I applied it. It stung at 1st, now burns. My skin had no problems other then dullness from age and too much oil on my nose. But after few days of using this mornings, my face started drying. My face was soft before, It looks and feels dried out and flaking all over. If I feel my skin, its dry & coarse & rough like craters. I am on here looking up what to do to undo the damage done. I did find the ageless intensive deep wrinkle syrum was great, so I decided to try the others. Hope heals/corrects.

Dangerous medicated cream if you appreciate your looks. I wanted to improve my skin not worsen and damage it. I clicked on one on rating system only to allow me to post this review. I don't recommend it at all.

Pros:

The tiny bottle lasts for quite a while, and it doesn't take you ages to rub it in.

Cons:

a wee bit stingy but nothing too bad and you can't get it in the U.K :(

I've been using the night one for the last 5 months and I can honestly say I see a huge improvement in my skin in comparison to what it used to look like. The doctor said that my acne had caused 'significant' scarring and that they would never go away. So I read about this product and bought it when I was on holiday in America. Obviously you can still see my scars a tiny bit if you look up close but the red marks have lightened dramatically since I've started using this!

Pros:

since I've been using it it has kept my sensitive skin acne breakouts at bay. My skin also looks younger and more youthful. I even go out in public now without makeup and feel confident!

Cons:

It takes a bit to get used to. About a week of consistent application every night before your skin fully adjusts to the hydroxy acid.

Wonderful product. Affordable and does its job WELL.

Formula change? broad Spectrum added
I have used this for 5+ years with excellent results. Following the acne.org regimen using Neutrogena on the spot, Neutrogena Gentle cleansing wash, & this. Last month I bought this and noticed that the ingredients had changed and it now says broad spectrum. That made me nervous bc my skin has been clear for a while and I know how any little change of product can affect things. The first couple days of using this I had a rashy scaly feeling on my face (not red just rashy to the touch) then that went away and I started getting a few hard cysts under my skin in places that normally don't break out (my chin is usually the problem area) but this was on my hairline, by my eyebrow, around my nose. Has anyone else noticed the formula change? Its making me crazy. I just want my old lotion back. I have to stop using it, I'm afraid of what my skin will look like if i don't. I guess I will go back to using a gentle moisturizer like cetaphil. But wont get all the benefits of this lotion-- the exfoliating, decreasing red marks fast). i give the old formula 5 stars. This new formula 0 stars or 1 if i have to! I would recommend the old version in a heartbeat! but stay away from the new!

Pros:

Clears up acne
Makes skin smooth
Could be more expensive

Cons:

Smell is a bit off-putting
Initial sting

Using this lotion (in conjuction with a gentle cleanser) twice a day has quickly cleared up my acne. I have been seeing a dermatologist for almost 12 years, and nothing has ever worked this well (including accutane!). I even strayed from the routine for about a week, and I broke out significantly. I definitely recommend this to someone with light-moderate acne that hasn't been able to be solved with any thing else. This really worked miracles for me.
