Gianna, New York, NY Jul 28th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: It does bring all of the dirt that is in your skin to the surface, as it said it would. The acne will look worse at that stage, but in about a week, it will almost completely clear out. The skin is left in pretty good shape. Cons: Excessive drying OR very oily at times. Does NOT prevent more acne from forming. Overall, not that much of a difference. Bottom Line: There isn't that much of a difference in my skin. I've been on it for a full month. I actually had high hopes for this; Unfortunately, it's not the 'miracle cure' we're looking for. Recommended: No Usage: Gianna has used this item for about a month. Acne severity: light Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Anonymous, Mecklenburg, NC Jul 27th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Cons: Makes avne worse (at first i understand) Bottom Line: I have been using this stuff for a week or so and its making me break out much worse. Everyone says to stick with it and it gets better but its so discouraging!! How long until things usually turn around?

Nikki, Minnesota Jul 25th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Made my skin clean almost completly after one month. Cons: The first week iyou break out really bad. Makes my skin peel a little. Bottom Line: This is the best acne cream I have used. The first week or two are going to be hard because you break out, but after that your skin is clear. My skin peels a little with it, but I put on mostirizer in the morning.
