20 Best Facials For Cystic Acne (2023 Updated)

So I got this for my teenage son, he is going through typical teenage breakouts, nothing too crazy. I wanted something gentle for his skin, and also saw this has both tea tree oil, eucalyptus oil and lemon oil.

these three ingredients work wonders on common plantar warts, so this is double action for me, my daughter has plantar wart I’ve been using this on and its working magic without causing her pain that the salicylic acid treatments do to her skin.

Ironically, or not so ironically, salicylic acid does not kill bacteria unlike tea tree oil, and this product smells wonderful. My sons outbreaks are shorter and his lesions are not getting as big when we stick a small amount of this on.

What you do is take a toothpick and pull out a small amount of this product and then pull off the cream from the toothpick to the area being treated. If possible leave on all night depending on how open the sore is or isn’t.

Otherwise leave on for five -ten minutes and then remove with warm water. With the plantar wart I add a small amount and rub onto the wart, and then cover with either a duct tape or bandage (best to do this after the wart has been cleaned and soaked in water) This is a very small bottle but a little goes a long way.

I just received this product for an honest review. I will come back and review it further since I just tried it for a first time, just now. So far, I really enjoy this spot treatment. The smell is refreshing and smells like a minty toothpaste.

It tingles and makes your skin feel great and as soon as you rinse it off your left with extremely refreshed skin! It felt so clean once I was finished. The feeling is definitely worth 5 stars. I only put 4 down just because I don’t know how well it will remove any marks on my face.

I will come back to further review this!!.

I’ve just received this natural cleanser on Monday, and I have used it at least four times by now. I wash with it at night and in the morning and it has already worked on my skin. I have been suffering from acne, pretty much since I hit puberty and I am 23 now and absolutely tired of dealing with it.

I brought this product, because I have decided to change my lifestyle completely. I wanted something natural to use on my skin and kind of walk away from all of the medicines and products that promise a difference and don’t.

I brought the complete set of the face wash, herbal toner, and the Acne Eliminating cream and I am amazed at the results already. I am hoping that I reach my goal in having soft beautiful skin with the product, because it would be relieving to know that I have finally found something NATURAL that has worked for my skin.

I will add that I have changed my diet and have been taking natural daily multi-vitamins that could have some effect on how my skin is turning out however I do believe with TreeActiv it’s improving faster.

I’m an 18 year old girl who started this when I was 17. My skin is extremely sensitive so I was looking for something that would take care of my acne without making me break out worse. There are a lot of reviews here about how they saw results within a month but I want to tell my story, that it took around 9 months for my skin to clear.

The basic kit comes with a little packet that says that your skin and acne will most likely get worse before it gets better, and let me tell you, they are absolutely right. I went from a few pimples here and there to just being covered in them.

But now, after sticking with it for almost 2 years, I can say it absolutely works. My skin is completely clear, except for an occasional zit from my period. My only warning is that this is not a good product if you are insecure about your acne or if you want immediate results.

This is something that will give you great long term results with a painful process to get there. Good luck.

I came across a magazine ad of Exposed Skincare system when I was on the verge of giving up all hope after using Murad’s system for one year without any success, and hearing negative reviews of the over-drying side effects of Proactiv from family and friends.

I read the product descriptions and thought why not switch over at a much lower cost and see if its claims are true by trying out the system for a while! Well, that was April 2013 and I’ve been a devoted Exposed Skincare user for more than four years! This system WORKS!! You must be very diligent using all products in the system (Exposed Expanded Kit ) for a least one year.

As time went on in the 6th month mark, I began to notice my skin gradually cleared up from existing acne with very rare new acne formation. By one year time, my face hardly had any acne at all! It is an amazing system and I have very stubborn skin.

I’ve been battling acne since puberty. I am pushing 50 this year and I still have an occasional breakout from time to time. Thankfully, I did not have severe cystic acne, but I tend to breakout on both sides of cheeks with one or two juicy pimples and little zits on chin the T-zone.

Thank to Exposed Skincare system, my stubborn acne issues drastically subsided and under controlled, and I’ve tapered off the the system a bit, but I do use the face wash and the clearing tonic religiously on the daily basis.

Whenever I get a little breakout on my face or on my back I’d use the Clear Pore Serum and Acne Treatment twice per day for one week. It ALWAYS works like a charm!! I absolutely love the Moisture Complex, makes my skin feel soft and supple without greasy sensation! Sadly, it is not included in the Basic kit after I decided to downgrade the kit early this year.

I could always use the coupons included in each kit to purchase the Moisture Complex separately. Thank you, Exposed Skincare, for making a truly amazing product!!.

i have dry, sensitive, cystic acne skin. my acne is hormonal as well so the past 1-2 years i’ve felt forced to accept the fact that no product will really be able to minimize the amount of acne i get due to the fact that it’s an under the surface type of problem.

i’ve been to dermatologists, i’ve tried retinoids, antibiotics, prescription topicals. a lot of which just ended up making my skin worse; either super irritated, red and dry, more acne, etc. so when i tell y’all that this is the best thing i have ever used and my skin is clearing up for the first time that i can remember.

even if i do get a new blemish/bump it goes away so quick. areas of cluster pimples i had for a month or two went away or were almost gone within a week of using this. NOW- i see a lot of ppl saying don’t use for sensitive skin.

i definitely have very reactive/sensitive skin and this is not bad on your skin. ultimately it 100% depends from person to person, just don’t not try it because you see reviews abt ppl saying so. i would recommend reading the ingredient list and feeling out for yourself if you know or think your skin might agree w those ingredients.

the one thing i will say is that every time i use it *it DOES make your skin tingle*. i think this sensation is possibly what /some/ people might interpret as burning. it even makes my skin slightly red upon application but i know both of these reactions are not bad for my skin bc both aspects go away within an hour or so of being on your skin, AND by the morning my skin tone is more even n doesn’t feel too dry or anything.

the first couple times i used i found my skin was a tiny bit flakey in a couple areas but was not accompanied by any redness or irritation (and it hasn’t done that anymore). my last thing is i’ve found it helpful to put it UNDER/before your moisturizer (i’ve read this can somewhat minimize the “harshness” of a product or ingredient if you have sensitive skin bc you’re diluting it a little w moisturizer layered on top).

i also use this all over my face for best results. only things i use for night time routine are this and ponds moisturizer! but bottom line what im trying to get across is don’t always listen to reviews since i have the same skincare traits as some other ppl that don’t like this product, but it has worked better than anything else i’ve tried.

find what types of ingredients your skin does like so you can really decide for yourself if something will work for you! :).

I used to struggle with cystic acne in college but it eventually went away. I’m now in my early 30s and they’re back! Last year they were so bad that I went to get steroid injections and antibiotics so that they would go down and not scar before my wedding.

I did a bunch of research and this product continued to make all the lists so I thought I’d give it a shot. I was so pleasantly surprised by the results. The size went down significantly in one day. I think I got too eager because of the results I was seeing that I applied too much of it around my face.

After 3 days, the cystic pimples were basically gone. However, my face is now very dry and scaly where I was applying the cream. Almost like I got a laser facial treatment or chemical peel. I will only use for spot treatment moving forward.

Like other reviewers have said, be sure to use sunscreen and moisturizer with this product. A little goes a long way and no matter how bad it is, start with once a day for a week to see how your skin reacts.

This stuff is great! I’ve been using it for years as recommended by my Dermatologist. Very gentle and effective to not lead to additional breakouts on my sensitive skin. I feel like so many of the bad reviews are people not understanding how products work or how this product works.

This product will not work for you if you are mostly dry. And will backfire on you, causing other skin issues and leading you to think it’s not working, when really you are using the wrong product for your skin type.

This product is pretty gentle. So for those saying they didn’t feel “clean” afterwards, it’s because you’re most likely use to bad products stripping the natural good oils from your face. Your skin should never feel tight after using a facial product; tight skin does not equal clean.

Also please consult a dermatologist before choosing products that are right for you.

As of the last few months I’ve been having more breakouts than normal. Usually, I’ll get maybe one or two pimples but lately it’s been 4-5. It’s mostly been on my chin and my t-zone area and it worse around my period.

I decided to give this a go because I have used it before a long time ago and as far as I can remember, my skin was quite clear then. after a couple weeks of using this, I can honestly say it’s been doing it’s job.

Again, I usually break out right before my period but this time, my acne was significantly less than what it was before. I only had one major blemish but it cleared up pretty quickly. The cleanser is a bit drying (I knew that would be the case) so I use my Mario badescu toner and some moisturizer and my face is glowing.

Please give this a try and just remember, if you have drier skin, invest in a good moisturizer.

I used this for awhile and then started getting clogged pores everywhere on my face. They aren’t pimples but bumps all over my face that are the same color as my skin. I am still trying to get rid of the mess it made to my skin.

It doesn’t foam whenever you are washing your face so it just made my face feel slimy; probably not the best description, but it just never felt clean. Then the pimples started and it was everywhere.

I eliminated all products and this is the one that was doing it. I would not use this is you have combo, oily, or acne prone skin. Definitely just get medical grade skincare and safe yourself the trouble or having to fix your skin.

Amazing starter kit for people that suffer from acne! The Blemish Balm has a gritty texture but not rough at all. It doesn’t leave that nasty film that a lot of other cleansing balms leave and it’s scentless.

The Healing Dots are so good for those pesky pimples I get right before that time of the month. Ill leave it on overnight and the amount of gunk it sucks out is insane. They’re all amazing products but the serum is definitely my favorite.

The Acne Serum cleared up my cystic acne in about a month. That’s never happened before with any serum I’ve used. I wish the Peace out Acne Champs was around when I was younger because it would have saved me a lot of money on products that didn’t work.

I highly recommend! And it’s only 25 bucks at Sephora! *sorry about the photos. They keep getting cut off for some reason*.

First I want to say that I am a fifty yr old woman who suffers from a mild case of acne. I was satisfied user of the Peace Out dots so when they came out with this trial set of the acne balm wash, cream, and dots I knew I had to try it.

When you wash with the balm it feels like your giving your skin a gentle scrub. My face feels clean and refreshed. Not dry at all. After I use a little of the cream, then if it’s night time, I add the dot.

By the next morning, the redness of the acne is not as prominent, and if I had a painful one, that also is gone. If I had a whitehead, it clears it and let’s it heal without leaving a scar. I can honestly say I am truly satisfied with this set and would definitely recommend it.

Time I’ve been using it: 2 months.

Using the dots from peace out skincare over cvs hydrocolloid bandaids was far better for my skin. It drew more out and was painless to take off next morning. The serum has also helped my skin alongside the face wash which has a subtle exfoliation that you can really feel getting into your pores and clearing everything out.

I’ve become an immediate big fan after trying every product and home remedy under the sun this has finally made me have faith in getting my acne under control again. My skin is better than when I used curology and proactive.

I will be ordering from the Peace Out Skincare website more often!.

I use to love this stuff, until the formula changed. This use to be a clear gel like substance and absorbed great. I reordered a few months later and the formula was completely different, it was a white lotion cream and left my face feeling greasy.

It didn’t absorb well at all and didn’t clear my acne up like the old formula. I won’t be buying again. I bought off Amazon. #influenster #voxbox.

I love this product! I have the entire kit, which includes: cleanser, serum, and a moisturizer. Along with that I received a derma roller. I don’t have very sensitive skin, which is why I think this product has worked so well for me.

The cleanser and the serum are pretty mild but the tea tree oil when the moisturizer on can be a little intense. It feels a little hot when I put it on, but this slowly fades after a little. I haven’t noticed any redness or irritation on MY skin, so I would definitely recommend if your skin isn’t that sensitive! My acne has almost completely cleared up!.

Ordered this from Amazon after a coworker recommended it! Great for acne and overall skin health. Put it on before bedtime, but be careful about over applying. Teatree oil is intense and you only need a little.

learned that the hard way after my skin turned red and just irritated when I got too excited about results and overapplied.

My cystic acne covered my jaw line several times a month – it was painful – ugly – and embarrassing. Around my T zone my acne was so prominent at times that I couldn’t make eye contact with people – it was a very depressing time for me.

I had an occasional pimple in my teens – but at age 30 I was living what other teens endured throughout their teenage years. I tried every product available to heal and prevent cystic acne – I eventually had to use Accutane – twice.

I still have painful bumps under my skin – not as severe – but just as unfortunate. My esthetician introduced me to Lerosett clay masque – for me it is the only product that heals cystic acne and lessens the pain overnight.

I no longer have the urge to pick at the bumps and create large sores because I know this mask will stop the bumps from growing – even if it takes several days for the bumps to go away. I have peace of mind that the mask is going to work and I don’t stress out over the bumps like I once did.

If I use too many product on blemishes I risk over drying – I can use the mask under a stronger mask to lessen the drying effect and to help re-balance my skin. It can also be used as a face wash whenever I am already using a lot of strong product on my skin – so I don’t over dry or have to use a moisturizing wash.

If I have a severe break out – I can feel my skin throbbing under the mask – I know it is working and it puts me at ease. I do not have any other product in my skin routine that I have used for 15 years – it is a must try for everyone with cystic acne.

I highly recommend Diva products! I love them! They are priced very reasonable and I always receive my order fast and without any issues. I will continue to order from this product line. Everytime I order something new I get so excited to try it.

I see great results with each product that I have ordered, as well as the free samples that they send, which is such an added bonus! Thank you so much for your great product line! I look forward to trying many more of your products in the near future! If you have not tried any Diva products yet I highly suggest that you do.

I promise you that you will not be disappointed!.

I have cystic acne. The area affected is so deep and everything I’ve tried before seem to only address the surface. This product seems to be reaching deep and activating healing. I’ve over used the treatment and my skin is very sore.

Once the pain subsides, I’ll start using it again with moderation. This vendor sent a gift sample of ACNE Gel Spot Treatment. Thank you! I love it and plan to purchase some.

I’ve suffered from the occasional cyst or blemish since my teen years. And I have never found a better product than this. It’s the best treatment I have ever used.

I’m very happy with this product. I tried so many others that either just don’t work or severely dry out my skin or have other side affects. This is different because its’ effective and doesn’t have any side affects that I can determine.

I have deep cystic acne and some that have been there months and nothing worked until now. It started showing results in a week and noticeably better after a month. I purchased more and figure it might take a couple of months and then maybe a little here and there for maintenance.

It’s a bit expensive and the jar is very, very small but considering the results it’s worth every penny to me.

Throughout my late 20s and early 30s, I had terrible cystic acne. The ten years I was pregnant or nursing cleared my skin up. I thought I was through with acne. Now, at 43 (and finished with babies), it started coming back.

I’ve been using this face wash for 4 months now, and I can it absolutely has cleared my face up! I still have the occasional pimple, but nothing like before! I also use the face cream at night. I can’t say enough about this face wash!.

I love this contains ingredients that’re found in chemical peels & can save a lot of money. I had one 8. 5 years ago when turning 40 end of May & went to mountains with family. I will caution to make sure that you wear sunscreen everyday & reapply if spending longer time outdoors plus wear a hat ! I am fair skin & when I did this before didn’t reapply or have hat on figuring I was in mountains.

It’s the alpha hydroxy acid content along with being a glycolic lactic acid peel which means it’s exfoliating away dead skin cells & toxins while rejuvenating new skin cells plus stimulating collagen.

That’s how you can get sunburn & did get a bit of sunburn. Main issues I have with my skin are : dry skin, hyperpigmentation with some freckles, uneven tone, concerns with fine lines, wrinkles & lately have had oily area on forehead.

I noticed a improvement much like what I saw doing chemical peel but for a lot less money. Skin looked like it was not tired. It felt better & didn’t like the pale tired self I’d seen. I like that bottle last for 20 facial peels.

If you have other skin care regime with cleanser, mask, moisturizer & night cream. I would use it 1 time a month & maybe 2 times a month when skin is in need of it due to being more dry. I like that this comes with 90 day money back guarantee made in USA in FDA facility, cruelty free.

Dislikes/disadvantages ~ consider your age & skin type. if you’re younger & skin produces collagen this is not really necessary as you’re not target market for this. If you’ve had skin damage early due to tanning which has changed skin or other skin conditions mentioned it may be a good thing for you.

Try a test to see how your skin reacts.

this mandelic acid for chemical peel makes the biggest difference for me here. A friend of mine was using it and let me try. I am using it to address my whiteheads and larger pores. I never had many blackheads in the first place.

I believe whiteheads turn to black ones. The peel slowly cleaned my whiteheads but I did not want to use it too strong. I followed the instructions for the final solution I used finally. I don’t want it to be too strong for my first time.

Now that I have experienced it, I can increase its strength as needed. It works even if I did not use it at its full strength.

This is actually the second bottle of the stuff that I have purchase. That is how much I love the stuff I actually bought a second bottle. When I first got it it took me awhile to use it. I was a bit intimidated at first because of the instructions and I had never done or used any kind of chemical peel before.

So fast forward to about two weeks after I get the first bottle. To me sitting at my vanity with a bowl of baking soda and water, a timer, and my bottle of Divine Alpha hydroxy acid skin Rejuvenation therapy.

I reread the instructions just to make sure that I don’t do anything I shouldn’t do and I decide I’m going to test a very small area on the bottom of my jaw. I dab a little bit on and wait two minutes.

I’m not feeling any pain so I went one more minute. Then I wipe it off with plain water. I decided to wait about half an hour before I made a decision. About a half an hour later, since I did not have any discomfort, I decided to test a little bit larger of an area.

I applied about a 50-cent piece size on my cheek and jaw. I waited 3 minutes and wiped it off with plain water. I did not experience any discomfort or any burning sensation so I decided I would do my whole face and neck.

The results were RIDICULOUS! It made my face look softer, cleaner, brighter! I wondered why I was so worried LOL. No seriously the instructions are scary, and I definitely recommend that you read all the instructions twice and follow them closely to make sure you do everything right.

Even though it is SUPER EASY, and very fast. At first I did not really notice any wrinkle reduction, but I’ve used it for quite some time now and it really does make a difference in the wrinkles as well.

As I said in the title description I LOVE this stuff! Seriously do yourself a favor and get this stuff. It does a great job and it’s not that expensive!.

I lost the beautiful skin gene lottery and I have had acne since I was 10 years old to now 30-something years old. Trust me – I have tried all the BP products and this one is the best and only one I will use.

It is non-irritating but stronger than the 2% normally offered in the drugstore. After going to dermatologists, estheticians, etc. and paying for over-counter, high-end, and prescription (i. e. retinol) skincare products, I have found that using a salicylic acid (2% for me but 1% would probably work for others) during the day and using this benzoyl peroxide (no higher than 5% and applying after moisturizer) at night works the best.

I still get redness because I use both SA and BP but stopping either at this point results in breakouts. For people just starting, I recommend just using BP at night (or even every other night). If you dilute with moisturizer, the redness is minimal (and with this specific product, there is no irritation – peeling – which is amazingly rare for BP).

I hope they restock soon and keep this product around.

I’ve used the Glytone products for years. My skin is medium warm tone with acne comedones and cysts. Glytone Acne Treatment mask cleans deep into my pores, clearing out bacteria. This is the first step in my skin care routine.

I follow with the Glytone Mild Gel Cleanser and Hydra Lipid UV Mineral Sunscreen SPF 40+.

There are four different products in this box and it’s valued at 50 dollars claiming to be a 30 day supply. These are very much travel sizes that would not last 30 days and it seems that only some of the products are available for full size purchase.

I don’t think this is at all worth 50 dollars but I’ll break down each product by itself which may be decent products if individually they are sold at an accessible price point. BP Lotion – By far the most impressive product in the box.

It’s a 2. 5% Benzyl Peroxide lotion which is actually the same level I get from my dermatologist so I was impressed by that! Have been using it to combat chest acne and it’s been gently helping it along.

A better option than a lot of BP face washes like PanOxyl that have become trendy lately because with this it can actually be on the skin long enough to take effect. This is the only product in the box I would consider purchasing full size.

Retinol Serum – It doesn’t tell what percentage this is so I’m not sure how effective it would be. Def had a strong smell that makes it seem more clinical grade but there was nothing to convince me that this is a product that would beat our other market competitors.

Vitamin C Moisturizer – Really like the texture of this, very whipped and creamy. Light but still very moisturizing. I don’t know how you would really get the effects of Vitamin C from this when it’s so distilled and when it’s suggested to be used after the Retinol.

Salicylic Acid Wash – I’m not a huge fan of salicylic acid wash in a cleanser as it can cause over inflammation when being combined with other acne products afterwards so I am slightly cautious with this.

I have been using this on my body and it soaps up nicely and doesn’t leave the skin feeling stripped but using this then the BP lotion right after as suggested feels like it would be too harsh for my face.

This acne system worked pretty well for me. I have seasonal acne so I don’t have that much acne right now since it’s not yet summer but I do have a few minor blemishes here and there. I made sure to note how my skin was before and after use and I noticed it did help clear up the few blemishes I had.

I really like how this acne system includes both salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide which are 2 powerhouse ingredients to fight acne. There’s also a retinal serum which adds that extra punch. Now I’ll review each individual product: the cleanser worked well; the directions say to use it after you already removed your makeup so I only tested its cleansing abilities on makeup-free skin and it cleansed it well without being too drying.

Just a good, very basic cleanser. The BP lotion felt just like a normal lightweight facial lotion; it absorbed easily and didn’t leave a greasy feeling nor did it cause any adverse reactions. The retinol serum had a very nice texture/consistency and absorbed easily.

It was mild enough to be used every night without causing flaky skin. The moisturizer I wasn’t a huge fan of because it was too basic for me. I don’t have overly oily skin so this wasn’t moisturizing enough for me but would prob be great for oily skin types.

Overall I liked this acne system and how well rounded it is with its different ingredients, but I also found it boring. The whole line has a very simple, no-frills vibe which makes it good for those with more sensitive skin esp since everything is fragrance free.

This vibe also extends to their packaging which I found to be very basic and boring and does not excite me at all. So yes I did like this system but I found both the packaging and formulas very plain and boring and wouldn’t be something I gravitate towards or something that would catch my attention.

I was excited to receive this 30 day acne system kit by Dr. Sandra Lee AKA Dr. Pimple Popper. I’ve been dealing with hormonal acne since I was 12 so I’m always looking for new products to help combat my breakouts.

I started this system right before that time of the month and noticed that my pimples healed a lot faster than normal. The Salicylic Acid Cleanser was a really runny so I had to keep it upside down to stop it from pouring out when I opened it.

But it’s a nice gel like texture that lathers nicely and didn’t leave my face dry. It had a bit of a chemical scent but it wasn’t too bad and didn’t last long. The BP lotion was really nice. It had a light creamy texture and didn’t have much of a scent.

The Retinol Serum is a light gel like texture with no scent. I could definitely see my hyperpigmentation marks lighten within the first few weeks of use. And lastly the Facial Moisturizer with Vitamin C.

I really enjoyed this moisturizer. It’s a light texture so it’s perfect for oily skin people like me. This system is very easy to use. The products are even marked so there’s no confusion with which order to use them in.

The only thing I disliked was that there was no SPF included. As much as I liked this system I do miss my long skincare routine and was excited to get back to it once I was finished testing out this system.

I would definitely purchase the moisturizer again. Overall I think this is a great set for people who don’t like long skincare routines or don’t have the time to do long skincare routines.

The A+ Retinol and the UFO Oil in this kit have made some dramatic changes in my skin, and I am really glad I got this kit since it introduced me to these items. I will re-purchase them again, although I only spot use the UFO Oil on problem areas and it will last most likely a year.

The retinol has definitely made a difference in my skin. I look significantly more luminous and glowy and some fine lines have softened, become less noticable. I will keep using this retinol! It is fairly gentle for being a stronger product than the CeraVe retinol I started with.

I am very happy with the changes. The Saturn mask does not seem any different than other run of the mill clay masks, the cleanser is also just a cleanser, and since there are affordable options that can produce the same results, I would not buy those two items again.

I have not been able to use the Good Genes product enough to know if it’s very beneficial to me, because I have been building up my retinol use and using non-retinol days to avoid actives and ensure I am not damaging my skin barrier.

This photo shows my skin on the left on 2/15/22 and on the right on 3/12/22, so less than a month of use! Sorry the light quality is not identical. But I feel you get the idea, my skin is so much more even, some darker spots have also disappeared! and my skin looks more luminous and hydrated, less fine lines and tight areas, less breakout for sure.

For reference, I am almost 40.

We just bought this kit yesterday. I wish I had taken a Before pic prior to using the products on my son’s face last night, but I will take pictures tonight and update as time goes on. My 15yo son has very sensitive skin and he has used the products TWICE with an already drastic improvement.

The skin on his chin was VERY red and inflamed and it is now almost 100% not inflamed. Last night: Cleanser, UFO and Spot Treatment (slept with it on his spots) This morning: Cleanser, UFO and Good Genes We are going to stick with this routine for 5 days and then start adding in the Retinol.

What a small price for self esteem and showing my son his skin needs quality products for his sensitive skin. I’m so excited he has learned about skin care, we have found this product and he will be a life long user! *He has tried, and used a few weeks each to give the products a fair chance; the Equate Proactive knockoff system, the Acne Free system and the Bliss Clear Genius system.

Never had results like he just experienced with Sunday Riley!* *I have the same skin as my son, although the breakouts stopped a long time ago. I’m going to buy him another kit tomorrow so he can have one at his father’s house and I’m going to get an anti aging kit for myself!* -I hardly ever write reviews- THANK YOU, SUNDAY RILEY!!!.

I rarely leave reviews, but for this Sunday Riley product, I will. Usually my acne only flares around the time of the month, but lately, it hasn’t disappeared. My routine prior to purchasing this SR product works for me, but this time, I needed a little bit more help.

I ran across this set as I was Christmas shopping and I have to say. it was definitely one of the best shopping decisions that I’ve made. I just started using this product a few days before Christmas and I already the results are fantastic!! Within 24 hours the affected area was purging and the my face felt a lot better.

it has not been a week, but my face has cleared up and the texture is nice and smooth. I’m a very impatient person when it comes to skincare results, but with Sunday Riley, I was pretty amazed!! I absolutely love this product and will definitely buy again.

I also bought the wake up and bedtime set for later use.

This acne treatment overall had such a great effect on my skin. It worked on the first night to help some of the smaller acne calm and and fade away. On the larger spots, it helped to calm them down and eventually clear up over a couple of days.

The treatment was gentle enough on my very sensitive skin while being super effective. My only comment is about the packaging. I purchased the acne treatment and received a very slim and sleek bottle the first time.

The second time it was a much larger bottle. I understand the need to have all the packaging look uniform for the brand, but the slimmer and sleeker packaging is much better for travel and truly more friendly to use.

So much gentler & more effective than the products my dermatologist has prescribed. Usually I couldn’t stand to use the dermatologist products regularly due to them causing dryness or pealing. I have hormonal acne: cystic & whiteheads in my early 30s & acne on my chest & back.

I use this along with the acne cleanser & tingl pads and have seen improvement in my acne in weeks. It’s brought the acne to the surface so I don’t have the painful cysts & I’m sure I will experience fewer breakouts with continued use.

I’m just thrilled to have an effective product that works for my sensitive, dry skin.

I love this product. After my purging phase I am more clear than I have been my whole life. I wish I had found this product sooner! I love the stinging sensation, feeling it attacking any spots before they even become a problem.

You can really feel it working. Don’t worry- it’s a gentle sting like how you would feel while getting a professional facial and dissipates within moments. I generally use it at night but will also spot treat in the morning.

Be sure to introduce it slowly and have a good DRMTLGY moisturizer on hand so you don’t dry out!.

Absolutely love these products! Been using them for 3 years and I love the customer service, the packaging, the ingredients! An amazing, affordable, natural way to cleanse your skin! Super gentle and I highly recommend this to everyone! NxN Acne Treatment 4-Step Clear Skin System with Probiotics, Natural Multi-Fruit Extracts and Salicylic Acid for Acne Blemishes and Breakouts For all Skin Types (Including Sensitive Skin).

THE BESTTT! I swear by this. Never ever used another product. It was love at first sight. Although it’s a little pricy it’s totally worth the coin. SOOOO BOMBB! 12/10 recommend.

This kit was purchased for my beautiful eleven year-old daughter who has suffered with mild to moderate monthly acne for a year now. Knew it was time to get serious about a system and not just try soaps, scrubs, and salves, at the start of the new year.

Nothing was working at random. As a mother and teacher, I feel for young people who live with untreated or serious acne, when there are products at all price points that can help. These three pricy products are gentle, extremely effective, and work well separately or in synergy.

After a few weeks of use, my daughter’s favorite product is the Acne Advanced Clarifying Hydrator; her acne is under control. The foaming cleanser has a fresh scent and is good to start the day. Be advised that the Clarifying Mask (medium tone) is flesh-tinted and can be used as a spot treatment; it works well on the face and back, although my very fair-skinned daughter would not wear it out of the house.

We appreciate the excellent, organic ingredients. Purchased the Eminence Calm Skin Chamomile Moisturizer separately, for myself and when my daughter needs more moisture. Excellent products, clearly visible results, and two out of three items in kit should last several months.

Just wish non-toxic skin care like this was available at a price point more affordable to more people; I do understand why the products are so expensive. If you can, don’t hesitate to order. The confidence of a clean, clear face is priceless.

Best trio you can find for this price. Single items are bit pricier. Cleanser: Great foaming cleanser if you have normal oil to combination skin. 1 cleansing cycle would leave your face fresh. If you have Oily skin then you may need to double cleanse in order to get ris of all oil and gunk from your pores.

( specially if you use makeup). Hydrator: good to use after cleansing although I have not seen any significant change from using this. Not planning on re stocking on this one as I would rather purchase Eminence Probiotic moisturizer as a replacement.

Masque: It smells great!! Works great too as you can really see it pulling oil out when it is completely dry and you leave it for a while (say 15 minutes). As a Spot treatment- it works OK although dries out the zit.

I would rather not use this as a spot treatment as it may dry out the spot causing scarring.

This kit is great! It’s a great value and it works! I’m approaching 40 and still have acne prone, oily skin but it’s gotten more sensitive with age. These products caused absolutely no irritation and because the salicylic acid is encapsulated it is more effective than other treatments I have used in the past with more/higher actives.

I have been able to cut back on multiple acne serums, acne creams and acne lotions by using these products. I use this face wash the 8 greens serum, this lotion and the marine peptide lotion as my day and night routine and my skin is happy and acne free.

I’ve tried everything over the years as I’ve struggled with acne and then hormonal acne my entire adult life. I’ve been using it for exactly one month today, and I’ve seen a huge improvement. I started to see significant improvement that first week.

I’m still getting a little acne now and then, but it heals so much faster. I read that it can take up to 3 months for your skin to fully adjust. If you struggle with hormonal, cystic acne, you must try this!!!! It was a little drying at first so I started with applying it only in the evening which I read other people tried.

I was able to increase it to morning and night applications. I figured out how to use the benzoyl peroxide for me since it’s so strong and burned my skin – I apply moisturizer after washing my face and using thr toner.

While the moisturizer is drying, I apply the benzoyl peroxide lotion as a spot treatment, only on my acne spots. It burns only for a few minutes and hasn’t dried my skin out doing it this way.

I was struggling the last 2 years with adult acne. I had switched from rogan and fields to philosophy clear and then tried to just use a soap and this caused some serious adult acne. I tried pretty much everything and even got my Kaiser doctor to prescribe me face creams and that helped a little, plus using philosophy clear face wash twice a day.

My mom had told me to use SkinMedica. So when I was researching SkinMedica for acne they didn’t have anything and lovely skin recommended Obagi CLENZIderm MD System. After reading comments & research I decided to give it a chance.

I’ve been using the full product (3 bottles) now for over 3 weeks and my face has made it 180 turnaround. I’ve seriously have very NO acne and only my old acne scars. I would hands down recommend this to anyone that is struggling with acne.

Heads up it does burn for the few days just a bit. If it does burn than just put less of the product on was my trick. Until your face can adapt.

With Obagi products, you always have to spread the product across the face, never rub it into the skin. This will give the most optimum affect. My pores are enlarged in certain spots, so I noticed that if I wash with cold water it doesn’t burn as much.

I’ve been using Obagi products for a while so my skin can take the toughness this one dishes out. If you wash face and then wait 10-15 min like it suggests, I put my face in front a fan to cool the skin, then I apply the two remaining products.

Then I go back in front of fan to let the product dry faster. This way, it doesn’t burn as long and as much. I’ve been using for a couple weeks, so the intensity of this product is starting to subside.

It is a very strong product to let you all know, but it works very well at making acne disappear! I don’t use it every day, just every couple of days. In the beginning I used it in morning and at night straight for three days to get the acne under control.

I’m 6 weeks into using this and don’t want to review prematurely, but absolutely already see and love the results and I didn’t expect a change so quickly. My face is very oily and acne prone. I use liquid extra strength salicylic acid AM only & 5% benzoyl peroxide serum AM & PM.

I’ve been using that routine of treatments for acne/oily skin for about 10 years and it kept my skin looking good, but not great. My oily skin started looking dull over the last few years and then I developed a bout of hormonal acne for a few months before starting this adapalene.

I first started using this product every other night and for the first 2 weeks my face peeled a min/mod amount, it never felt irritated and easily washed off AM/PM and my face never felt dry/peeling throughout the day if I stuck with my AM routine.

After about 2 weeks I was able to start using this 6 nights a week and one night off a week with an AHA mask that night and I’ve been doing that routine for about 4 weeks. My skin has never looked better.

My hormonal acne dried up within the first two weeks and after everything healed my skin now looks so smooth and glowing. I still am peeling a tiny bit some mornings and my skin is still looking better each day.

Areas that have been dull for years look so much more smooth and glowy and my acne has been very stable. I highly recommend adding this product into your routine or starting a routine based around this product.

I wish I had started it years ago.

I started using this product about a year and a half ago. I discovered it on this Ulta website after viewing my face wash product, which is the La Roche Posay foaming facial cleanser. I was struggling with acne at the time and needed a good product to help with it.

I cam across the La Roche Posay Effaclair Adapelene Ance treatment. It is a light gel like cream that you apply directly on the acne. Overall this product changed my skin for the better ! The main strengths of this product are how it is effective, light weight, and long lasting.

I found this product to be very effective on my skin. My skin mainly struggled with blackheads and acne on certain areas of my face. It didn’t go away over night, however within weeks of using this product my skin improved a lot.

This product is also light weight. It is a gel like treatment, so it is very refreshing on the face when it is put on. I only use it at night due to its minimal exposure to the sun. Not only is is refreshing but it also tightens the skin and it feels smooth.

I find the acne treatment to be long lasting. A little goes a long way with this treatment. I use about a pea size amount for my entire face, so the entire thing lasts me about 4 months, sometimes more.

All of these factors really helped me continue the use of this product. This product also has it weaknesses, which are its side effects as well as its price. The product is effective, but that is because it is strong and that means there can be side effects.

When I first started to use it, it made my skin extremely dry. It makes it a lot more dry in the winter as well, so I avoid using it on my entire face. If it is too strong on the entire face, it is a good idea to just use it on the areas with acne.

The product is on the pricier side. It costs a little over 30 dollars for only one tube of the product, which can be a lot. Overall, the product will vary from person to person. Everyone’s skin is different, so what worked me might not work for you.

I really do like this product though, and will continue using it for my acne prone skin. I would say my overall evaluation of this product is a B. I wouldn’t rate it an A solely because there are some cons about the product such as price and it’s side effects.

Acne affects up to 50 million Americans each year, according to the American Academy of Dermatology. Despite the fact that acne is the most frequent skin issue in the United States, many people still have trouble finding the appropriate acne treatment for their skin.

Prescription drugs, both topical and oral, as well as over-the-counter (OTC) skincare products, are used to treat acne. We recruited the help of board-certified dermatologists to help us narrow down the huge array of possibilities.

While their initial recommendation is usually to see a dermatologist, some mild acne types can be treated with over-the-counter (OTC) medications. Prescription-strength acne treatments and specialist consultation may be required for moderate to severe acne.

I am french a 52 yo man and have been struggling with acne since I am 14 oy. I wanted to get rid of my with acne scars, and improve my cystic acne. Jessner’s peel did quite a nice job on my skin at a time when I thought everything is lost !! Skin tone is more even, scars are less visible, micro cysts have desapeared and.

look a bit younger they say ;)) I think that at least 2 other peels will make this very good job perfect.

I am super excited about the results that I received from the application of my Jessner’s Peel. My skin looks amazing. I am three weeks post peel and I have not had a blemish yet. This is an amazing product for a fraction of the cost that you would pay to go to an aesthetician.

My skin is far from perfect but this peels gives me a clean fresh glow .Many notice and compliment the soft and younger looking skin .I love it thank you!!!
