I read the reviews for this product I had high hopes. Unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to my expectations. I have been using the product for a about 3 months.My acne has been flaring up and this product didn't do much to help. I have been suffering from acne since high school and am now 25. I still get breakouts along my jaw and chin. Not as bad as when I was a teenager, but its still ever-present.
“i don't know how this stuff works...”-April 7, 2009
but it is pretty amazing. i'm in my late 20's and over the last year i've had a horrible time with breakouts on my chin, and tried lots of other stuff- proactiv, dermalogica, acnefree. either things wouldn't work at all, or they would completely dry out my skin, or smell horrible, etc. this stuff is great. i'm usually pretty sensitive to drying, but i didn't have any problem with this stuff. i definitely recommend it.
I bought this product based on the great reviews from others who seemd to have a lot of the same issues I have-- oily skin, acne, scarring, large pores. I've only been using it for a couple weeks, but my skin looks great already. I am 37 and thought my skin was permanently damaged by 20 years of moderate acne, but this product has changed all that. I have smaller pores, no breakouts, fading scars, and much smoother, less red skin. Thank you to the others who took the time to write the reviews that convinced me to buy this product.
I have super oily skin with large visible pores and get some pretty bad acne - this shrunk the size, reduced the redness, and sloughed off the overdryed skin from previous treatments that didnt work in under 2 hours. yup. this is my new otc acne treatment ill use in the day time with sunblock.
This is the best all around product, hands down. It is the only thing that clears up those horrible cystic lumps and the scars within days!! Now that I am 49, I really love the anti-aging benefits and my skin glows. Listen, I have had problem skin since I was 12 so I think I have used them all..Dont be over zealous using this and you will be blown away!!!
This is one of the best products I've ever used, and I've used them all. It clears up zis in a *day*. I have very problematic skin and this has just been amazing. Gets rid of blackheads too. It's better than any Rx or OTC product I've had.
This product does wonders for oily skin with larger pores. I have used it for only 1 week and have noticed a significant improvement in my skin's overall appearance. No need to use anything else. I have waited long to find a product like this and it's not harsh or overdrying for the skin.
I have had severe acne since my teens and years later i still get mild acne on my chin and blackheads. No other product has worked like this to reduce my pore size and when i applied it to a white head it disappeared instantly. :)
I have used this for well over a year, after searching for several years to find something that would combat the big pores and ever-proliferating blackheads. First there were just blackheads in the usual areas, but by my early thirties, they were all over my forehead and mid-face, even the jaw; tiny clogged pores everywhere. This is the only thing I've found w/ 5% Salicylic; which eliminates the need for all that tiresome face scrubbing. It also seems to firm the skin. I can not say enough. I hope they never stop making it.
