Acne.org AHA+ (10% Glycolic Acid) 16 oz. - Pharmaceutical Grade Exfoliating Lotion

I used this lotion in combination with the AHA body wash from Mario badescu and the Touch 2.5% benzoyl peroxide lotion. I was so close to making a dermatology appointment because I was so sick of the painful, nasty looking cysts all over my back, but within a few weeks of using this combination of products the cysts were gone. I use the body wash every day, and after washing I alternate between this lotion and the benzoyl peroxide one I mentioned before every other day. The glycolic acid is very exfoliating and brings existing acne to the surface so it can heal faster, and the benzoyl peroxide lotion kills the bacteria causing the cysts and is also anti inflammatory. One thing to keep in mind is this product might tingle/burn slightly when you first put it on. I do not have sensitive skin, so for me that sensation was very brief upon initial application only and I had no issues. It may also cause the acne to seem worse at first since it does bring existing cysts to the surface faster, but give it a few weeks before deciding it doesn’t work. I’m so happy I discovered this product, I definitely recommend it for people suffering from hormonal acne.

This is such a good product and I would deffo recommend to anyone who has acne whether it is light or severe acne. I suffer from severe acne and it really got me down when I was at secondary school and then when I got a job. My acne makes me very self conscious as I work in the kitchens where it is virtually impossible to wear make-up as the steam, dirt and things from dishwashers, ovens etc make your make-up slide off.I bought this product about 2 months ago and already noticing a big difference on my face. I apply this with my moisturiser every night and it burns for about 15/20 mins and then it dies down. I would advise to only use this product at night as it makes your face SUPER red and very shiny. A lot of people don't like the burning sensation but I actually do because then I know that it is working as it's not going to do anything if it doesn't, just think, this is acid that is trying to remove scars so you will feel a slight burning feeling. It's cheap, lasts for ages and the tube is a lot bigger than I expected (its the size of a deodorant bottle), really good product that gives smooth skin and I would deffo be buying again!

I have been using this product for about 3 months, and the difference in my skin is incredible.I don't use the Acne Regimen. I have really dry skin and back in January my face was completely broken out and flaky.I was able to control most of my breakouts after I started using noble forumla's soap, but I still had a lot of hyperpigmentation and blackheads.I started using this glycolic acid three days a week. I put it on after washing my fact and before my moisturizer.At first it did cause a stinging sensation but that goes away quickly. It does make your skin suspetible to burning so invest in a good sunscreen. I use Cotz.I wouldn't recommend using this product more than 3 or 4 days a week because it is very potent.My skin looks incredible now. My blackheads have cleared up and my hyperpigmentation is mostly gone. When I get zits now, I use glycolic acid as a spot treatment.

I love this stuff! I finished a accutane course almost a year ago. When I finished it I was left with uneven skin tones and a decent amount of Hyperpigmentaion. My dermatologist prescribed me Retin A and Hydroquinone cream which is supposed to be the good standard of Hyperpigmentaion removal. Not the case for me, I used that combo for 7 months and I didn't see a budge in the marks.After hearing such positive reviews on Acne.orgs AHA I figured I would try it even though I was skeptical since the "gold standard" didn't work I had doubts about this. It came quick, nice little bonus and it was larger than what I expected, another nice little bonus.So I used this for a couple of days mixed with a moisturizer like they recommend. The feeling of this going on your skin is like a little piece of heaven. It just feels nice, the gentle way you apply this just makes it feel like a treat every time I use it. It makes your skin so soft and brighter looking, it really does even out the tones of your face. Also it gets rid of that dullness your face has after recovering from acne. Now to get to the most important part, my marks. I see a 70% reduction in my Hyperpigmentaion and just over a months use!!! Amazing! I am thrilled and I now consider this a product that I never want to go without. Give this a try!

Have been using this as an alternative to the suddenly high priced Alpha Hydrox, which I used for years until they got too greedy. This product is a decent alternative to that product. It can make face feel momentarily hot and red but that will disappear in minutes, so no need to panic or rinse off. The product states it has an ingredient to reduce redness and swelling of blemishes and that does seem to hold true; after a few minutes any red, raised spots or pimples will appear smaller and less red/pigmented. I would buy again, but do think Alpha Hydrox is the best product but too pricey now.

I love creamy serums like this. My skin is a peel veteran (Aha/Bha peels and cleansers, acid serums with lactic acid, salicylic acid, glycolic acid, phytic acid, etc). I have acne prone skin and it’s sensitive to lots of stuff that helps with acne, so it’s a balance. This is super anti-inflammatory but also super potent. Do NOT use with any physical scrubs if you dont want it to sting; some acid serums are fine to do that with but this one is really strong which I love! I use it with a gentle cleanser from Sephora and the Thayers alcohol free toner, and follow with a rich moisturizer from Laneige and that has my skin so perfect. Like glass skin perfect. Always use sunscreen when you’re using this for suuuure. Even if you use it at night like I do. This is my 2nd time purchasing and my mom loves it too.

This AHA is just not the same as it used to be since the color changed from yellow to white. Idk what it is but it doesn’t clear my dark marks anymore.
