I am a 25 year old female. I never had an acne problem until I was out of college. (about 22). One day I noticed a lymph nod just below my jaw was swollen and the nest day my whole chin and cheek area was in pain with multiple clusters on cystic acne. I could not understand why it was so bad. I eat very healthy. I would make sure to decease stress. Wash twice a day but they would continue and it was a very embarrassing thing to live with. Its on your face! I am very careful about the ingredients I use when I try a face system. This program has so far been really wonderful. I have been on it now for about 6 months. I have to stick to the routine and sometime hormones come into play and I will breakout. But they are nothing like they were.

Advantages: Seems to really be working! No more pain, embarrassment, hassle of trying to cover the up the acne. I look forward to trying the Glycolic Acid Peels and see what I can do about my scaring. I will give the acne treatment another 6 months before I change it to much.

Disadvantages: My face tends to feel dry after washing and using the hydroponic acid is not enough moisturizer. I will use another moisturized in addition at night and a primer during the day before I put on make up.

I had done some research earlier this year on glycolic peels and opted for a less-expensive product from a different company. That product stung like a hornet's nest and left my face red for almost two hours. The next day, my skin was a little blotchy and sensitive, but I could see improvements to overall texture.

Even though I liked the KAVI site better, I figured glycolic acid is glycolic acid, and I wouldn't pay a premium for nicer marketing. But, I did some thinking a few weeks ago and figured a spa treatment wouldn't do to my face what that first glycolic peel did, and for $15, I'd try a sample of the KAVI glycolic peel to see if there was a difference. Well, I am here to tell you the difference is pretty big. The 40% did sting, but it had a ceiling to it (like a pain limiter), and my face wasn't red for longer 10 minutes afterwards, and as I expected, no blotchiness the next day, only smooth, bright skin. The product itself was also creamy like a gel, not watery like the other company's peel. My husband's comparison was moonshine made in a tub vs a single blend scotch in a bottle. They'll both get you drunk, but one does a gentler job of it.

Honestly, for a little more money, I feel far more comfortable putting KAVI products on my face than a no-brand Internet alternative. Just thought I'd share my experience with anyone else who doesn't want to throw their money away if they're not sure of what they're getting.

Advantages: Quality.. not just acid in a bottle, but a complete spa-like experience.

Disadvantages: You have to pay more to get more.

This has drastically helped my hormonal acne that has been resistant to other forms of treatment. It really speeds up the healing process and for me, also helps to fade dark spots faster.

Advantages: Works very well for resistant acne
Works faster and better than other treatments

Disadvantages: Dries out skin. However, I wouldn’t recommend following up with a moisturizer because it reduces its effectiveness. If it’s too drying, Apply a smaller amount, less often or when you don’t mind or won’t notice the dryness (eg at night before bed or just relaxing at home).

I used this product before and went back to it a couple of years later. It works to keep my face clean without being overly drying. It leaves my skin very soft as well.

Advantages: Works well with oily and acne prone skin.

Disadvantages: None.

I have only used this product for a couple of weeks, and I am really enjoying how my skin feels.

Advantages: My skin feels clean and soft.

Disadvantages: I associate "suds" with soap, and there is a lot of sudsing while using this soap. I have not used long enough to know if this is going to be too drying.

This is great stuff. I liked it and bought some for my sister after I tried it. It didn't work overnight, but I get super anxious for results. I am seeing results. I wish I could use it more than once a week, and I wish I wouldn't need to stop it for a month. But I really do love it!!!

The only product that works for keratosis on my arms. I apply once a week with gauze right after a shower, wait 10 minutes, and remove with a wet wash cloth. As easy as that!

Advantages: Easy to apply

Disadvantages: A little bit itchy and prickly while it's on, but no big deal

Glycolic acid samples sizes are totally enough in amount for someone using the products for at home treatment.

Advantages: Fast shipping/trust worthy website/ helpful directions (follow them)

Disadvantages: None
