I have struggled with moderate acne for over 18 years. I have tried every product on the market from Proactive to home remedies to expensive prescriptions. Finally, finally, finally, something that gave me beautiful, glowing, fresh skin.
I love every product in this line and can't say enough good things about it. I use a Clarisonic Mia to wash with the Raspberry bar (it lasts a lot longer than way!) and the Cranberry grommage, and apply everything else as usual (so I don't know if that is helping the results).
I was skeptical about spending this much money on skincare products, but I can say it is worth every penny. There IS a period of time where your face "purges" and I got lots of little pimples and my face felt rough -- I almost gave up, thinking it didn't work, but I stuck with it and WOW! My face is finally how I always dreamed of it being! THANK YOU ARCONA!!!

After reading the positive reviews on this webiste and others regarding the Arcona line, I was really excited to try this line. Since starting the program 2.5 weeks ago, however, I have not noticed any significant difference between using this product and other, less expensive products--except I've had more breakouts since beginning the Arcona line. I am going to keep with the program for at least another 2-4 weeks, as suggested, to see if I have any improvement. Will update results later.

I purchased this travel kit in order to test the Arcona acne regimen. I like to give new regimens a very good, long try, so I decided on 6-8 weeks. Unfortunately, after about 2.5 weeks, most of the products in this kit run out, so I had to purchase another travel kit (it was more cost-effective to purchase travel kits to give the products a try than to buy the full-size items). Anyway, I'm at week 6 and counting, and it is clear that this is not working for me. It is too bad, because I actually like the textures of the serums, they dry quickly and you wouldn't know that you had anything on (it is not bothersomely heavy throughout the day/night). Since the products are salicylic acid/glycolic acid based, they just aren't strong enough for my moderate acne. If you have acne during your menstrual cycle, or breakouts only once in a great while, these serums would probably work. However, I have persistent problems areas and I think the products may have actually caused more blemishes. Despite its drawbacks, I think I need a benzoyl peroxide based product. Perhaps those who are BP allergic would like the Arcona brand.

This skin care regime is suitable for acne breakouts and i do feel a difference with my skin after using Arcorna. I would recommend this to anyone who has ongoing breakouts and if fed up of the medical products, the doctor etc. The only problem is that the quantity is too little in the bottles and tend to run out in a period of two weeks. I wish they could increase the quantity.
