Pros:

Removes flakes
Soft skin
More even skin tone

Cons:

Stings a little sometimes
Pricey

I have used this liquid for a few weeks now and my skin is so much softer! I use Differin at night and this product makes my skin flake a lot. I had a thick layer of dead skin cells (yieks!). But since I've been using the 10% AHA the flakes are gone. You can rub your dead skin cells of in the shower and your skin feels nice and soft again.

Best. Decision. Ever.
I bought samples of a bunch of Paula's Choice products before committing because of the price. I knew I had to get the aha and it's easily the best money I spend on myself. It's non-irritating on my generally oily, cystic acne prone skin. I've started out slowly with an 8% gel and have worked my way up. I use this three times a week right now and literally look forward to my scheduled days because of how great my skin looks and feels. Any zits I get last no time at all and my skin is already evening out in terms of tone. Love love love.

Changed ingredients!

Used to love this BUT at some point they added other acids into this product and it broke me out worse than anything has in a looooong time. Buyer beware.

Pros:

smooths complexion, kills/prevents acne

age 21, male, sensitive skin

Cons:

make sure you od on sunblock.

aha is by far the best acne treatment if you have mild-moderate acne. you're supposed to use this 1-2x/week but i use it every other day now. the first time i used it i washed it off after 15 minutes - did nothing. 2nd time i left it on overnight. looked in the mirror in the morning and was literally yelling "WOW WOW WOW OMG!" only product that ever made me do that. it looked like i had just gotten the results of a full glycolic peel without the week of redness and peeling. after that i haven't seen too much improvement...weird. still highly recommended. i might stop using it in summer though.
