20 Best Skincare Regimen For Acne (2023 Updated)

I used the full set of acne products from Acne. Org 3 years ago. My skin condition at that time had tiny hidden acne and inflammatory acne, I used the full set of 5 products of the company including: cleanser, special treatment, moisturizer, Ahas exfoliation on the skin’s surface to support Helps to reduce dark spots after acne has been reduced, a combination of jojoba oil and cream helps my skin reduce dryness during treatment when applying the special treatment product Benzoyl Peroxide 2.

5%. Its products have helped my skin improve better, reduce acne and dark spots by 90%. To this day I still use their facial cleanser because I like the smooth foam as well as the good quality and really reasonable price.

If you have an acne-prone skin and do not have time to learn much about skin care, you can refer to this product set. However, during the use of the product, you should use a water-based makeup remover in the evening to support the cleansing step and a toner to soothe the skin and combine with a serum to help restore moisture.

during treatment if the skin is too dry. In particular, you should use more sunscreen in the morning to protect your skin, because during the treatment process may occur dry skin peeling, so your skin needs to be protected.

You can refer to serums containing Vitamin B5 Panthenol from brands such as: Skinceuticals, Medik8, cosmetics, The Ordinary. Sunscreen you can refer to sunscreen from brands such as La Roche Posay, Skinceuticals, Elta Md, Rilastil.

I hope the information I share from my experience can help you choose the right product and improve your skin condition better. Note👉: that when using Acne. org products, you should carefully read the instructions from the company when using the product during your acne treatment because during use the company will guide you to increase the dosage of the specific product.

treatment to be effective.

This acne treatment regimen is great stuff. I’ve been using the products in this kit for the past 8 months. Prior to starting this regimen, I was on prescribed acne medications to fend off my super painful breakouts.

They eventually became ineffective and I had to search for something else. I found the acne. org regimen through search and it took me a couple of weeks of researching and re-reading reviews to convince myself that I had to try this regimen.

I followed all steps and I was surprised at how clear my skin was after about a month of consistent use. No more painful breakouts!The third step of the regimen, the moisturizer, has quite a strong scent that may take some time getting used to – it was strong enough to make my eyes irritated even though it was not around the eye area.

Ironically, the moisturizer is to help sooth the skin after using the cleanser and gel cream. :)The treatment kit has a good amount of product for the price. Definitely worth every penny. The only downside to this product is that it is not easily accessible.

It is only sold in the acne. org website and I feel like not too many people know about this amazing treatment kit.

I have PCOS and due to hormone imbalance, I had many breakouts. When I say breakouts, I mean various kinds on different areas of my body. My face was the worst. I decided to try this product out after seeing someone with cystic acne review it.

I had tried everything and was at my wit’s end. I ordered this product and I can’t say enough about it. It not only eliminated my acne. It kept it away. Even after stopping, my acne never returned to the same state that I started.

I have now learned to control my PCOS hormone imbalance and no longer use this product. however I wouldn’t hesitate to go back if need be. Highly recommend!!.

I have been using this for a week or so and so far I’m liking what this product does to my face. First the gentle cleanser: its doesnt really lather up and get soapy like most, this one you rub all over and rinse off.

My face felt squeaky clean and hydrated. My face felts smoother and tighter, as well as healthier. Day- calming treatment you use in the mornings after you wash with the cleanser. It works very well at keeping my face hydrated all day as well as keeping it less oily.

Night- retinol treatment you apply at night after washing your face with the cleanser. It has everything for acne as well as retinol for my old age. This keeps my face moisturized all night and has me waking up with a bright and tight look.

No tired looking or saggy looking face in the morning. All these products work really well together and really help with my acne and keeping the oil at bay. These also are fragrance-free.

Just finished my 2nd bottle of this Acne Relief Calming Treatment Hydrator tonight. Really enjoying this one. Already purchased my 3rd one. I have combination skin and and get consistent mild acne on my chin, jawline and sometimes cheeks.

I’ve seen a noticeable difference in my skin texture and evenness with this Salicyclic Acid Serum. I was skeptical how it could be hydrating but I’ve used quite a bit at times and never noticed any dryness or tightness.

I’ve been using both AM and PM. Calms any redness down overnight.

I haven’t used a 3 step acne treatment since proactive first came out, I was skeptical about starting another; especially since I had never heard of this brand. BUT so far so good. I’ve been using a week now and can already see that my skin looks less irritated, I don’t have any new breakouts, my old breakouts are less red, and look like they are disappearing.

I’m excited for another week, I haven’t had clear skin for a couple years now. I have combination skin. I have an oily T-zone, I mainly break out on my chin/jaw & cheeks. I do not moisturize for the reason being that when I do I tend to wake up with breakouts over night, so I have pretty dry skin as well.

Not to make a horribly long review, but just so you know what to expect. the actual cleanser when you go to lather your face, don’t be shocked that it doesn’t look soapy or even feel like you have anything on your face, trust me you do.

The step 2 & 3 treatments do go a long way with a small amount. Don’t be scared to try this product, you won’t know what ACTUALLY works for you until you try it. You can’t base a beauty/self care product on what other people say.

Everyone is different.

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.

Wash was ok, better than soap but after more research I tried YTTP’s cleanser and it’s far superior. The AM moisturizer is heavy and has chemical sunscreen. After more research I prefer mineral sunscreen and a lighter moisturizer in the morning.

PM moisturizer is ok. Again after further research I’m finding that scrubs are not recommended for your face at all and this pack includes a twice weekly scrub which could actually damage your skin. The eye cream isn’t bad but I didn’t notice much of a difference using it.

I would also note that there is no treatment product in this level two lineup. I like the concept of tiege hanley but I feel like the products themselves are a bit sub par, and although I enjoy Aaron’s YouTube channel I think he stepped a bit outside his knowledge range on this one to make a money making product.

I’m sure the intentions are good, there’s just a lot of information quickly available out there that led me to far superior products actually designed for my skin type and my needs. I’m 47yo and new to skin care by the way.

What I’ve learned is that for $40/mo I could instead buy much better products and could include specific treatments for my skin that TH doesn’t include for less money. Sure it takes a little research but that’s not a big deal.

YMMV.

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!!.

Oh man! How do I even begin. I first heard of Tula because one of my favorite bloggers recommended a sunscreen (she was raving about how well it went under her makeup). I never got around to trying it out but that’s how I found out about TULA.

In the past year and a half I was on and off BC. I was on it for 2-3 months. off of it for two months. on it for 4 off of it for another 3 months and so on and so forth. Obviously i’m messing with my hormones so they went crazy and my skin freaked out.

The mask did not help at all I feel like it was a mix of maskne and my hormones tbh. I tried so many products and nothing worked. I was so upset so many times. I have never had acne like this to the point where my bf even questioned it (not in a bad way) but him even bringing it up made me feel self conscious because he knew my skin was never like this.

I wanted to cry every time I looked in the mirror. My make up looked so different. I wanted to keep my mask on at all times even when i was around people i felt comfortable. As I mentioned nothing worked.

Most products either made it worse, made my skin oily, or just felt like they were sitting on my skin and not being absorbed by it. I came across this routine. I kept the products in their boxes in the ULTA bag I bought them in because I had a feeling I would end up returning them.

Night 1 and the smell was awful I guess i’m not used to the tea tree smell however the following morning i noticed a huge difference in the size of my pimples. Every day I would wake up and notice a difference in my skin.

The cleanser is very drying but it has now been 7 days and my skin feels so different and is starting to clear up significantly. The texture of my skin has changed so much it feels so much softer. In fact, It took care of some acne scars/ texture around chin that I had pre pandemic/ BC.

My skin has never been perfect. I would always get a random pimple here and there especially around my period. I have acne scars but little ones nothing a couple Microneedling sessions might be able to fix since the scarring isn’t too bad.

For 7 days I am so impressed and so thankful. I plan on sticking with TULA and trying their every day skin cleanser and more products. Thank you TULA for saving my skin. I will be making another review in the long run with pictures once my skin looks like porcelain again lol.

Been using this set for the past month so I’m gonna break this down a bit, so here goes. Foam cleanser: it’s fine. makes my face feel a lil tight and it feels a bit like it’s trying too hard to fight my oily skin.

Might try adding in a hydrating toner to counteract that. 3. 5/5 Spot treatment: again, it’s fine. it’s supposed to help even skin tone and fade old acne scars but maybe I just have some really stubborn scars, bc even after a month my maskne spots all over my chin are… still there.

it does seem to help with my active breakouts maybe? also might be wishful thinking. 3. 5/5 the moisturizer: can you ever call this a moisturizer??? It sinks into my skin almost instantly and feels like I didn’t even put anything on.

while that’s fine for the AM, I’d like something more heavy duty to keep my skin hydrated at night. I’ve been layering in the PM with the a sample moisturizer since this is a little too lightweight for me.

3/5 Yeah, so. Overall, these are fine and they get the job done, but I probably won’t be repurchasing when they’re done.

For twenty years I used a three step system for acne. Throughout the years, I tried different products but always went back to my three step system. I decided I needed to use something better for my skin, especially as it ages, so I after reading many reviews decided to try Tula’s Level 3 Acne Clearing Routine kit.

I read on many websites that skin purging is normal when changing products and could take around eight weeks. Sure enough, within days of making the switch, my skin started to purge. I decided to trust the process.

I could tell it was not reacting badly to Tula, but working. Just at the eight week mark, I stopped breaking out and my skin was clear. Most of the acne that occurred were small and disappeared as quickly as they came.

Overall, my skin looks and feels better. I am very happy with this product line. The face wash does not over dry my skin and the lotion is very nourishing.

MY HOLY GRAIL. This first 2 weeks will have you iffy but once you pass that hump you will be fine. I’ve been using it for 4 months now and I’ve noticed drastic changes I get a pimple around my cycle that doesn’t last long.

My hyperpigmentation are lightening up. My skin looks and feels smooth. I have no complaints. SIDE NOTE : I mix the moisturizer with the jojoba oil and apply to my face. This helps a lot with the dryness and peeling!.

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!.

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.

I spent the last 4 weeks trying out the Honestly Pure Retinyl Serum and you can see my skin looks more radiant and refined than ever. The formula has a thick oat milk consistency and is unscented. On application, I didn’t have any irritation and it felt soothing.

The formula went on smoothly in a thin even layer but dried down tacky and felt as if there was a film over my skin, almost giving you a tight mask sensation. Once I applied my moisturizer on top, the sticky residue dissipates, and my skin is left feeling hydrated and almost dewy looking.

Overall I would rate this serum a 4/5 – while I wasn’t a huge fan of the tacky residue feeling on my skin during application, I can say I thoroughly enjoyed this serum and will most likely be repurchasing when I can get my hands on it.

The ingredients were simple, clean, and effective and it made my skin feel happy. I noticed a difference in my skin texture so it did what it said it would do and would recommend it to those who are looking to incorporate retinol into their skincare routine, minus the irritation and dryness that comes from pure retinol.

It appears they have changed their packaging and is going through a rebranding stage but this is the Honest Beauty’s Honestly Pure Retinyl Serum. The second image is my after photo of clean skin after 4 weeks of usage and is unedited.

The first time I started using this it was AMAZING. Made my skin tone even and removed all the scarring and dark spots from acne. My skin had never looked better. BUT after my first bottle ran out I stopped using it for a bit.

Recently I started using it again but it doesn’t have the same effect on my skin anymore. It’s not damaging my skin but it’s also not improving it like it had the first time. I had high hopes from how amazing it was the first time but am looking for a different retinol now.

Yessss!! I 100% love this kit! My favorite of the 3 is the cleanser! I love it the most. I feel like I get a good squeaky clean cleanse, I love how it suds up unlike most cleansers, it targets my adult acne, it leaves my skin feeling refreshed and clean.

I have extremely sensitive skin and the honest beauty brand has never irritated it all. I love this brand! Definitely one of my top favorites! 💕 I did find that the cream moisturizer in this kit was too much for my skin type, I use the honest beauty everyday brightener moisturizer instead! Love that one.

It’s light weight and my skin loves it day and night!.

About 6-7 months after coming off the pill I started to suffer from hormonal acne. It started with just a spotty forehead, but then it changed to angry red and sore ‘bumps’ around my mouth and on my chin.

I tried supplements, a chemical peel, derma rolling and also duac, which was prescribed by my doctor. Nothing was working and around my mouth remained sore, red and dry. After many hours spent researching skin care solutions suitable for hormonal acne and dry skin, I came across the Mario Badescu acne starter kit.

The majority of reviews were good, with the exception of a few (like most products), however I was concerned about some of the bad press surrounding MB not disclaiming certain ingredients in their products.

After researching the ingredients used in the acne starter kit, I decided that the recent bad headlines has probably made MB become more stringent with disclosing what is in their products and figured that as the kit isn’t overly expensive, it was worth a go.

I’m so glad I gave this set a chance! I noticed the difference 2-4 days, especially after using the drying mask! It dried out my bumps/spots and reduced their itchiness and soreness. It’s only been a week and a half of using this product and all the little ‘bumps’ around my mouth are almost gone.

I’ve only had two new pimples since I started using the set and the products dried them out straight away. I will definitely continue to use these products as long as I need them and the next thing I will be looking to address is the scaring left over from my spots that have cleared up.

My only criticism is that I wish there was an oil free moisturiser without sunscreen in it, because at night time I find the sunscreen gets in my eyes. So at the moment I’m just using a hyaluronic acid at night after cleansing and toning and apply the drying cream on my problem areas.

If you’re on the fence about whether to buy these products, I hope this review helps you to make a decision!.

Was sceptical about this set as I have tried many skincare brands and nothing seems to help my skin. I have combination skin, so my face is both oily on my forehead and then dry on the area between my brows and nose.

After using this set on my skin for a week my acne has already cleared up and I’ve noticed (and so have other people) that I have a glow! The only product I haven’t used yet is the mask as I felt like the other products have done the job so far – will look at using the mask soon! Will definitely be purchasing the full sized version of these products!.

This acne kit actually helped my skin and I couldn’t be happier. I have to say what were/are my biggest problems: pre period break out, problematic tzone (feeling oily and dry at the same time which resulted in constantly ‘flaky’ nose), huge pores.

I’d tried so far SO many products and results were mostly meh and I couldn’t say any difference and I thought ‘yeah that’s it, that’s your skin, stop trying’. But reading many positive reviews of mb products I decided to give it a shot.

We need to agree this kit is not the cheapest and once I got I felt like it’s pretty small for its price but it is said it’s a starter for you to see if it works. For me it definitely works and after 3 weeks of using it I must admit I see and feel huge difference.

Facial cleanser – really gentle but effective, doesn’t leave the feeling of tightened and dry skin, skin feels soft and clean. Cucumber lotion – LOVE IT, it’s fresh and cooling, skin even softer. Moisturiser – absorbs super quickly (big +), no sticky feeling.

Mask – fact is a fact, it definitely doesn’t smell like flowers but i personally only can smell it when applying, then gone. Drying cream – literally life saver, noticed difference after one night. It can be just a tiny sample but you only use it at night and on spots so it probably will last much longer than other products (after 3 weeks I almost run out of lotion and cleanser since I use them twice daily).

To sum it up: my skin looks healthier, glowy but not oily and haven’t got my usual pre period huge break out. Already ordered full size of cleanser and lotion.

Drying Lotion (pink) For me I would say the most effective of the three. It was suggested that buffering lotion and drying cream should be used together to get the same effect of the drying lotion. Buffering Lotion (white bottle) Easy to use.

Drying Cream (cream) The most difficult to use. Very thick to spread. Feels greasy. It doesn’t dry fast enough that it is all over my clothes and pillowcases. I don’t like the smell. Although, I have no plan of purchasing another buffering lotion and drying cream; I really like the drying lotion.

I am on my third bottle.

I made the huge mistake of not doing my own research, learning in depth about skincare and ingredient lists before buying this acne starter kit. I’ve always had one or two pimples here and there, some of which become cystic, and since working as a healthcare worker full-time during the pandemic I’ve noticed more breakouts in my chin area.

I decided to switch from my Cetaphil gentle cleanser and moisturizer routine to Mario Badescu’s acne kit hoping it would target my recent breakouts. I was so committed to these products for 8 weeks, using them exactly as directed on the product labels.

My skin broke out SO horribly on my chin and jaw that it literally hurt to move my face. After doing further research, I discovered that the ingredient lists in this product should have stopped me in my tracks.

These products are NOT good for your skin, both short-term and long-term, and as soon as I switched back to a simple gentle cleanser, moisturizer and retinoid, my skin immediately began to heal and my face finally doesn’t hurt anymore.

It is safe to say I will absolutely never buy anything from this company ever again.

I’ve been struggling with stubborn acne since I was 13. I am now 25, and have tried so many things. It was embarrassing having huge red bumps that were itchy and just wouldn’t go away. I’ve tried many over-the-counter cleaners, using them twice a day, but never cleared up fully or even came close.

I’ve had several visits with a dermatologist, paid over $100 for medicated acne solutions, and still they didn’t work. I decided to go to Ulta and see what they had, and spoke to someone who led me right to this product.

I cleaned with the facial wash, then used the drying cream, applied the drying lotion right after, then the buffering lotion last. After using these for just 3 days, morning and night, my face is almost completely clear and feels great! I have NEVER had these results with any other product, and am shocked at how fast it worked! I am ecstatic beyond imagining, and am so glad I found this product.

I’d recommend it to anyone!.

I bought this thinking it would be nice and gentle on my skin. I followed the instructions and put it on a clean face, let it sit for about 10 minutes then washed it off. But, when I washed it off, it left a very think greasy film on my face.

I had to rewash my face to remove that think layer of grease. It was more than just a little oily. I felt like I used it and then washed away any benefit because I had to wash my face with my face wash again.

I definitely don’t like it. I’d love to return it but, I have to pay shipping and that defeats any refund I’d get. Oh well. My loss I guess.

I have sensitive skin, and am going through hormonal changes, hence have had cystic acne for a few years now (primarily in the chin, with random regular acne along the edges of my face). I have not had bad acne growing up and into adulthood.

Then I hit mid thirties and have been suffering the month long cystic acne on my chin plus started having extra oily skin. Ive been using this product for about 2 months now, and it’s a bit harsh for my skin to use every day.

It completely dried it out and I have extremely dry patches around the acne area. So, only spot treat as precisely as possible if you have sensitive skin! Works well on moderate acne and some under skin whiteheads.

Sped up cystic acne process, but doesn’t prevent further acne and I still get my weekly cystic acne on my chin. This is a remedy, not prevention. I still haven’t found anything that really works for cystic acne on my chin (the super painful, lasts one month, deep under skin kind) and scar treatment, including the fact that I have tried retin-a and have been going to a dermatologist as well.

I think this is a great product for normal acne and normal skin folks. I just have the rare sensitive skin and abnormal hormonal/cycle related cystic acne.

I bought this in October, a little bit before Halloween, and I decided to let my skin be itself for a month so I could see more visible changes once I start using the product. I actually start using it a few days before Thanksgiving.

At first, I *could* see visible changes in my skin. Some of the acne on my forehead was clearing up, so did some of the ones on my chin, and it was even helping my blackheads! But. on the third week, the moisturizer was starting to burn me.

I didn’t think too much of it at the beginning because it was a mild tingly feeling and I figured it was working as it should. It got to the point where it eould sting so badly, I’d regret to put it on.

Not to mention, I noticed my skin was beginning to peel. badly. I couldn’t brush my hair back or a small patch of skin will peel and it became this domino effect with the rest of my face. I’ll admit that it was really the drying mask, despite the awful smell it had, and the acne facial cleanser that helped me.

I encourage extreme caution towards the moisturizer. I will not use this product again.

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 set is perfect, and easy for on the go. I love the clarifying lotion and the spot treatment the best. However the face wash is also nice and velvety rich. Definitely leaves a wonderful clean feeling.

I have a couple of difficult hormonal acne spots that are very stubborn however one side has cleared up for the most part. Now working on shrinking my pools and declogging. However I still highly recommend this set, especially starting off.

It’s a great value and lasts quite some time, although the sizes of the items may appear small.

I picked this up after a recommendation from an Ulta employee and it started working immediately! My acne significantly went down within a few days HOWEVER I started to develop itchiness on my neck. I reduced how often I used the products, and I’m still dealing with the itching.

I don’t consider myself to have sensitive skin, but maybe I’m just reacting to something in the products. But I love how it controlled my oil production and reduced my pores! Just be careful if you do purchase! :).

Acne prone skin✅️ Oily Skin ✅️ Sensitive skin✅️ I’m talking about the Clinique All over treatment moisturizer, an absolutely beast on it’s class. This was actually discontinued by clinique, brought back by social clamor.

it is absolutely a masterpiece for oily acne prone skin. it unclogs my pores and my skin is very smooth, brighter, and with less wrinkles and dullness, incredible but true. of course there is no perfection, if you use to much or too often, it can either dry or irritate the skin, so be proceed slowly.

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 bought this kit from my local Ulta and have been using it for about 7 months now and I think I finally found product that work for my skin! I breakout heavily around my period and have painful cystic hormonal acne.

When I consistently use these products (twice a day), my skin is soft, smooth and clear which is something I have never experienced before! Everyone’s skin will respond differently but i typically give facial products 2-3 months to really see if it works.

This does my for me at least. My skin type is combination/sensitive. I’ve always struggled with AWFUL breakouts and cried so much during middle school and highschool cause of how bad I felt I looked and was embarrassed.

I put a before and after picture, neither one has any type of filter or edit on it. My skin isn’t perfect now and I still get breakout around my period , that’s normal! BUT, I finally can manage my breakouts and this system helps clear up my skin within a day or two if used correctly and consistently.

I read EVERY oily/combination sensitive skin review I could possibly come across and was STILL nervous about purchasing this product until I finally bit the bullet and did it. I’m SO HAPPY I took a chance and now I’m hooked on this product line and can’t decide what I want to try next.

It wasn’t by any means a fast acting product line for my sensitive skin that breaks out if you look at it the wrong way. YES, she’s THAT TYPE and if I’m stressed about something, it’s written ALL OVER my face, I don’t have to say a word! As a matter of fact, she’s itching right now because she KNOWS I’m talking about her and it’s just sad.

I digress. Okay, I’m back. I love the face wash because it feels like a cool cucumber and the toner feels clean and very refreshing as well. I know I’m probably over using them but I love these products and look forward to my skin care regimen throughout my day, and the best part is they have no smells! I use them in addition to The Ordinary’s Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA, The Ordinary’s AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution (twice a week, the AHA, BHA) and Cerave’s Resurfacing Retinol Serum (every night) for now because I’m not going to waste my products and I was very eager to try La Roche Posay because of their reputation within the skin care industry.

I developed Milia on my eyelid and was searching for ways to get rid of it when I happened upon this line of products. My skin has improved within the two week timeframe they stated it would, and that’s a plus for me (no solution found to get rid of this Milia yet short of going to the dermatologist).

I just ordered plenty more of their products so I’ll follow their directions and hope to see good results just as I’ve obtained with these, if not better because I’ll transition fully over to their entire line of products to see how they all work together.

Right now my skin is glowing. Just a few more acne to get rid of and some hyperpigmentation.

I lost all hope when it came to my acne. I read up on my acne issue- all around jaw line and came to the conclusion that it’s hormonal. Acne got really bad over time. used St. Ives then started using CeraVe.

It kept it somewhat not really under control. I ended up making a dermatologist appointment- then I came across this face wash kit. I heard good things but I wasn’t sure. I went ahead and gave it a try.

My face did get pretty bad after usage- experienced drying and irritation but only on the parts I broke out on. Decided to keep on using and my face has absolutely noticeable change for the better. I get little ones here and there but one sided definitely cleared up and couldn’t be happier.

Bought my second kit. As long as you keep on using and use a really good water based moisturizer with it I think you will definitely see changes. I don’t use the cream everyday but every other day and it helps.

I love it. Best Buy I’ve made for my acne. My face is healing if anything. Does get worse before it gets better.

First off, love Dr. Sandra Lee! I’ve been following Dr. Pimplepopper since like the first year they put videos out. But it was really important to me to also find products that were backed by a dermatologist and specifically wanted someone who was Asian and understood skin care/ sensitive/ combo skin types.

I haven’t had massive breakouts and in fact, really controlled my acne more so around when I had my period. Which is wild, I usually get hormonal breakouts and produce more oil. But this has my skin glowing and almost acne free.

I recommend for sensitive skin to get the acne system and the radiant cleanser and alternate. I’m a Massage Therapist and sweat a lot for work— so well tested!.

So this acne system saved my skin. I randomly started getting serious acne at 29. I tried so many different over the counter and prescribed stuff and per a derm was using Panoxyl and a retinoid cream that was HORRIBLE.

I felt absolutely horrible. My acne was not clearing and I was just peeling to the point I couldn’t go anywhere. I tried this acne system pack and cleared up my skin so fast. Love everything I use even the acne wipes and toner along with the set.

This has become my ride or die skin care routine and worth the money – HOWEVER they changed the size of the moisturizer to something much smaller for the same price point and feel like I have to be so much more conservative.

Only part that I’m not happy about.

I suffer from hormonal acne ever since I had a hysterectomy. As a teenager I had acne but started taking birth control and it cleared it up. Now I don’t have a need for birth control, my acne has came back and I was searching for something simple that will work.

I went to a dermatologist and was placed on retinol A which help a bit with my acne. I took a chance with this product line because there were clear directions that I could follow. I used it for over a month and I’m on my second 30 day package.

It has helped with my stubborn acne and the only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because my skin is not completely smooth and clear; and I’m not sure if it will ever be completely clear.

I’ve been dealing with bad hormonal acne this past year, and was spending so much money on other brands trying to find something to clear my face up. Then I saw this set on Elf and thought I should give it a try.

I am so glad I did because in just the first few weeks there were visible changes, my face feels so much nicer, smoother, and even ! I have combination skin, with my t-zone being oily and the rest dry.

However, the face wash did not dry my skin out, nor did the moisturizer ! I’ve also been using the Elf acne spot treatment alongside this. For the price, it’s absolutely worth it. I ended up ordering the full sized products since I’m almost out, so these small trial sizes actually last a good bit !.

When this skincare line first launched, I was a bit skeptical about uts effectiveness but I decided to give it a try as my skin was flaring badly with acne breakouts. And I must say that these products have been life changing for me.

The cleanser really does its job without making my face feels dry, the serum is my fave, its gently exfoliates my skin overnight and brightens/smoothens it when I look in the mirror the next morning.

And the moisturizer is lightweight and doesn’t clog my pores as described. Im so happy I bought it, I plan on buying the full size soon!.

I have bought my 12 year old daughter so many different products to control her acne problems and nothing worked till I purchased this set for. Her face is so much clearer and looks amazing. I couldn’t be anymore happier for her she is now more confident in her own skin now that her acne issues are resolved.

I will most definitely get her the full size of these products very soon.
