Pros:

I'M 40ish. NO ACNE BUT DO HAVE SUN DAMAGE& SENSITIVE SKIN . THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST PRODUCT I HAVE EVER FOUND. NOT TOO DRYING OR GREASY. EXFOLIATES AND BRIGHTENS. I've ALSO TRIED EXPENSIVE DEPT STORE CREAMS BUT NOTHING ELSE I'VE FOUND COMES CLOSE.

Cons:

CAN BE HARD TO FIND.WALGREENS WILL BE OUT OF IT FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. THE PACKAGING ISN'T SECURE WHILE ON THE SHELF. THERE'S NO PROTECTION EXCEPT A LOOSE SCREW ON TOP AND SOMETIMES IT LOOKS LIKE ITS BEEN SAMPLED.

I USE THE CREAM ONLY & WHEN I DON'T HAVE IT I CAN TELL A BIG DIFFERENCE IN THE SKIN ON MY FACE. EVERYTHING ELSE I HAVE TRIED EITHER DOESN'T EXFOLIATE WELL, DRIES MY FACE OUT OR IS TOO GREASY AND CAUSES BLEMISHES. THIS PRODUCT IS THE PERFECT BALANCE.

Pros:

Makes skin smoother, helps clear up pimples and red spots. Helps prevent ingrown eyebrow hairs!

Cons:

A little stinky. Jar packaging is not a sanitary way to keep face cream.

I can see results from this stuff within about 4 days of consistent use. I use it nightly after washing with Purpose, but I'll admit I need to be more disciplined. Use sunscreen with it. Amazing product. Sad to hear that it's so hard to find.

Pros:

It makes my face softer and I notice a difference in that there are less fine lines on my face. Now why did they stop selling this in the stores? Maybe the dollar stores have it.

Cons:

A little tingling and best used at night.

Bring this back into your stores!

Pros:

light, absorbs quickly, really affordable

Cons:

doesn't moisturize enough

I tried this a few nights but it doesn't moisturize enough. I use dan's bp and this is just too light to keep my combo skin moisturized. I now use dan's AHA instead and it works great!

They now sell it under a different name!
This is both me and my mom's favorite cream. The PH balance is perfect for acne prone skin. It helps your skin remain soft under treatment with BP, and also reduces scars overtime. I just wanted to let everyone know that Walgreens no longer sells it under this label but instead sells it under their "Studio 35 Beauty - Alpha Hydroxy Face Cream" label (which is a walgreens brand). I use this AHA cream in 2 different ways. Option 1 AHA cream at night Dan's BP gel in the morning Option 2 Layer AHA cream first (AHA helps other products penetrate through the skin) and BP cream ontop - wear it over night and wash it off in the morning before putting your favorite moisturizer (SPF preferred - you need SPF when using AHA) and makeup. Be careful when using Option 2 because the combination of AHA and BP cream can burn your skin. BP dries out the skin, but the AHA cream helps it remain supple. If I only use BP, my skin will break out under the dried skin, so I use AHA cream to help it remain soft and gently exfoliate in the morning. Use Option 2 every other night if the treatment is too rough.

Pros:

It works! I use it daily at night time. I do my nightly washing and scrub and then put it on! It reduces my bigger zits one to two days, smaller ones in about a day. A little goes a long way. I have had the same bottle for the last couple of months.

Cons:

It stings a little on opened zits but it helps reduce them quicker. [pain is gain. (ha!)Also, I had to go to two stores until I found it, its not discountined its on the website even.....Packaging isn't the best either.

Get it. It works!

Pros:

Smooths skin

Cons:

very oily, will definitely clog pores.

This was great for smoothing skin and creating a more even tone. But no matter what, every time I'd use it at night, I was 100% guaranteed to break out the next morning. I tried it by itself, with moisturizer, with bp, after a shower, after washing my face, morning, night, everything. It has a very oily feel, it's no wonder. Really, I'd break out every single time I used it.

Check Ingredients!
I thought it was good, too. However, do we "really" know what is inside it? Usually, more than half of the words that we cannot even pronounce it. However, I research a plenty of these ingredients and guess what... In Europe, they have banned anything that has gasoline called, "PROPYLENE GLYCOL." There is even alcohol that has this inside, for instance, Fireball. Now look or search in the back of this label and we will see is in the list of number TWO! This why my skin would get red spots after using this. I research everything I put onto my skin and inside my body because it affects me for the rest of my life. I know you would say it's probably annoying to research all of them or you do not have any time, but you will get the hang of it of knowing these ingredients (trust me knowing more is better). Knowledge is power. In addition to well-known brands, we are brainwashed to think that are good and have the "top-quality" everything (wrong!). The ingredients will tell you the truth if it has high-quality on demand to your fingertips. P.S. If you are on this page called, acne.org don't you want to be more cautious what you put ONTO your skin or inside your body causing these problems? Because at the end you want to cure it. I hope this is good information to all of you, enjoy!

Pros:

My skin is fabulous since using the cream. I have been using it for about four years..

Cons:

Stay out of sun when using product.

I have tried many AHA creams and didn't get good results but when I found Walgreens AHA I was so happy!!!! Its still a good face cream for the money and beats any other expensive creams that don't even work!!! All my friends and work associates comment about my skin.. Thank You Walgreens!! P.S. I use rosewater as a toner at night before I apply the cream..
