I started using the SA+ lotion on January 3. (I had previously been Purpose Gentle Cleansing Wash 2x/day and Dan's BP gel at night before bed. I simply switched the BP gel for the SA+ lotion.)

I had immediate and dramatic results with the SA+. Tone and texture improved dramatically, the perpetual redness disappeared, my pores were clean (no more blackheads!), and I didn't get as oily during the day. The biggest change was that I did not break out the week before or during my period this month.

However, two weeks later I experienced a full-on breakout. Out of nowhere, my face decided to erupt with several deep, painful cystic pimples that were incredibly resistant to anything that I put on them, including the BP lotion.

As of today (1/26/09) I am finally starting to get that breakout under control. I've settled on a regimen of using the BP gel every night before bed for three days in a row, and then for one night using the SA+ lotion instead. I still wash my face with Purpose Gentle Cleansing Wash 2x/day, morning and night. I think, given that my acne is caused by both bacteria and clogged pores, that interchanging the BP and SA+ is a good tactic.

I will add more posts if anything changes in the future.

This doesn't make any sense. It says there are plenty. What one day everybody stopped posting.


Anyway, if anybody does log on i was wondering peoples experiences with satirilic acid. I am currently on Mynocicline 100 mg a day, and to get rid of my existing acne i am using Proactive sensitive skin facewash (which has satirilic acid) I find that is is helping, although making the skin a bit dry. I don't think it will fix anything though, because it doesn't have enough satirilic acid in it.

I was wondering if anybody here has been using this in order to get rid of red spots and acne. I was thinking of getting a product that has much more of this stuff in it. However i have very sensitive skin and am afraid of only damaging my skin further.
