Pros:
- Has decreased my bacne
- Relatively inexpensive if you do it yourself
- Few side effects if you follow the protocol and start carefully
- Easy to apply (but for bacne you'll probably need some help with the brushing)

Cons:
- Didn't take away all my bacne, so I started using AHA cream daily too.
- The stronger concentrations sting quite a bit.
- No permanent effect. The acne will return if you stop with the treatments
- Not suitable for summer sun and bathing
- Takes a while to work, but so does pretty much all effective acne treatments
- I always break out slightly after each peel

Smooth skin, lightening of dark spots, tightening of pores, wrinkles look less noticible

evens skin tone and texture
Cons:
20-30% can cause serious irratation and flare ups
Pros:
Good, sterile exfoliation for your face so your acne products can be absorbed
Cons:
It's not a cure-all. I wouldn't do this on a face with lots of active acne. Doesn't help with scars.
Pros:
I had moderate acne which was getting worse every single day. I had 6 70% glycolic peels done over a two month period and my acne went away completely. I haven't had a single pimple since, not even hormonal pimples.
Cons:
I did get scarring here and there due to my skin peeling, but it is slowly going away.
Pros:
Reduces signs of scarring
