Great for scar reduction -- did nothing for acne
This was a great cosmetic product for enhancing skin turnover, reducing the appearance of scars, wrinkles, and lightening acne related hyperpigmentation. I cannot, however, recommend it for clearing acne breakouts. It appeared to do nothing for either my acne or razor bumps.

Pros:

Great for my extremely oily non sensitve skin. Has the correct ph of 4 for proper exfoliation.

Cons:

Not for sensitive skin. I used to be able to buy it from Walgreens, but now I have to order it online.

This is a great product for my extremely oily non sensitive skin. I use it with the Neutrogena acne kit, oil free acne wash and OC Eight. I highly recommend these products for extremely oily and acne prone skin. See my am/pm routine under Neutrogena oil free acne wash.

Pros:

doesn't clog pores
regular use prevents most acne
makes skin look years younger
erases fine lines
peeling is light

Cons:

drying if overused
can only find mail-order
takes a while to really work 2 months for resurfaced skin

Great for people who can't use moisturizer. I use this or AH souffle every day Others notice my nice skin for the first time ever Order from Neoteric (they make it) it is cheaper, good deals, free shipping over $35.

Pros:

- CHEAP Alpha Hydrox that you can find in almost any drugstore.
- it would be an effective SPOT TREATMENT
- GOOD for BODY ACNE (used on back & chest w/good results)

Cons:

- stings excessively
- doesn't "moisturize" well at all
- IRRITATES skin physically (not just the stinging sensation)

YES IF: You want to give Alpha Hydrox a TRIAL RUN for a spot treatment. NO IF: You want a QUALITY Alpha Hydrox that can be used for a moisturizer, exfoliant, and spot treatment of the FACE. >>> get the Acne.org AHA+

Pros:

Appears to shrink pores and diminishes upcoming breakouts.

Cons:

None so far.

I can't believe how much nicer my skin is with this product. I haven't had a single breakout since I started about 2 weeks ago. I use it in conjunction with a BHA gel.

Pros:

doesn't cost too much

Cons:

gave me a huge rash

I've been applying this for about a week and a half to try to even out my skin tone. At first I saw some improvement, but 2 nights ago I noticed a rash starting to form. I continued using the product and now the rash is getting bigger. I know that usually products make your skin worse before it gets better but I will most likely stop usage. Everyone's different, maybe I had an allergic reaction.

Pros:

Prevents a breakout from getting out of control -helps keep it below the surface.

Cons:

not cheap

I put this on my face after I use Dan's BP. If I see any pimples under my skin starting to rise, the AHA really prevents it from coming to the surface. Also exfoliates. I think it also helps improve the appearance of my scars/pink spots.

Pros:

Cost effective, wonderful results.

Cons:

Stinging on my face afte I apply souffle.

I am still thinking about using this long term. I have seen great results, but I am concerned about the stinging even though it is short lived and not painful.

Pros:

clear, glowing skin

Cons:

small portion, doesnt last long

I love this product. Not only does it clear my skin, it also causes smooth glowing youthful looking skin,
