I bought this in the hopes it would help clear my skin and fade old scars from acne. It didn't perform miracles but it did help! I apply this at night, and in the morning my skin is very soft. It got rid of my flaky patches that I occasionaly get too! I might not reccomend this to people with very senstive skin though. Mine is a little sensitive, and it tngles when I first put it on, but has never irritated the skin. This is a very nice AHA lotion!
