<p> I use this as part of the acne cure, and have found it to gradually fade acne scars (gradually is the key term here--it has taken over 2 months). I am not sure whether I would wear this under...

This stuff is great! It really helps to soften my skin and even my skintone. And since I began using AHA's, the "permanent crop" of zits on my forehead have disappeared. I also like that its a...

Strangly I have noticed little when applying the BHA lotion which is suposed to be stronger. But this 8% AHA does it all. My skin is very smooth and it glowes the next morning. I use the hydrating...

This is a hideous AHA product. I had some success with the 2% BHA solution, so I thought that I would give the AHA a go. I didn't like the texture, a thin gel that sat ontop of my skin. Even if I...

Hi - I've had quite a time trying to find the right match for PCs AHA or BHAs. The BHAs didn't agree with my skin, so I tried this. It does sting (YOW), but it does seem to make my skin smoother....

Stings sometimes, but it's worth it. I found I have to use it at night because little bits of skin roll off during the first couple of hours I have it on. Using this at night and 1% BHA in the...

PC's 8% AHA has helped to fade the acne scars on my chin and leaves my skin glowing. The solution is somewhat sticky, and that's why I apply it at night. I recommend purchasing the pump dispenser,...
