Oldddd scam product. Doubt youd be able to find this anymore (Thats a good thing)
Cant post a photo because I literally bought it in like 2007…but holy hell what a journey. This stuff had GREAT reviews at the time, so i figured id buy it to pair with my proactiv toner and w.e moisturizer I was using at the time. Honestly….I really liked it the first 5-6 days or so, smell was somewhat pleasant and it seemed to exfoliate well and make my skin very soft. However, after about a week-the nightmare began. Underneath my left eye, I ended up developing the biggest pimple (Believe it was Cystic) That I ever had in my life. Not just bigger by a little bit, bigger by a LONGSHOT. HUGE. It took like 3 days of hot compress and switching back to what had been semi reliable facewash to get it to a whitehead. I was able to pop it, and alot of pus came out, but I can tell there was alot more where that came from. I also got alot of other pimples and my skin was very oily with large clogged pores and blackheads for the next week as well. Finally at day 6 of having the monster pimple, it came to another giant whitehead….my god, this time 3x the pus came out-but it was finally flat. I wish the story ended there, but unfortunately for my entire freshman year of High school summer, and up until about april-may of sophomore year, I had a scar on my face about 1/4 inch im diameter, maybe a little less. I probably made it worse by using chemical peels, and different scar treatments. So all in all I bought this in June 07 and was left with lingering remains until may 08…quarter of my HS career. TL;DR: This stuff was a scam, website looked shady as hell so i would know now, but at the time I was a 15 year old kid with a small-moderate amount of acne. However this stuff took me to a whole new level and did a number on my self esteem that whole summer and the first half of that school year. Lesson learned-If your acne isnt that bad, and you have it pretty well managed, don’t look for that “miracle in a bottle”. It doesnt exist, and usually it will only make things worse while your body adjusts to a new facewash.

Pros:

i have been using burts bees sensitive skin cleanser. i have suffered from acne for 2 years and it was getting worse. after choosing a natural remedy, my skin is clearing and looks healthier and brighter. it does not contain harsh chemical, parabens, etc. PLEASE JUST TRY ALL NATURAL ORGANIC METHOD. you will not regret it, its natural so it cant hurt.

Cons:

I haven't tried it, but no one should bother.

As i was reading reviews, i noticed that this must be a scam because so many real people say it doesnt work and the guy of the website cop&pasted one of his reviews he made up for the website on acne.org. its the exact same paragraph, stupid.

Pros:

Great Exfoliator

Cons:

Did not have any effect on my acne.

This product did absolutely nothing to clear my skin. I have not seen effect from this product on my acne but on the plus side, it makes for a great exfoliator and makes your skin feel smooth. If you are looking for a product to clear your acne, then I don't recommend this product.

Pros:

The smell is decent. Not harsh on the skin

Cons:

can leave a residue. Expensive!! Doesn't work

I bought this in hopes of having a one stop shop for eveything natural. Using it as a wash, toner and moisturizer is what got me to want to try it thinking I was possibly using too many things on my skin. I thought it was going to be worth it when you think about buying all those other products seperately. NO! I broke out more with this product than when I didn't use it. I don't think this is worth trying at all. It claims to be all natural but when you receive the bottle on the label you notice a few ingredients not listed on the site, one of which is a form of formaldihyde.

Pros:

Gentle exfoliation, leaves skin feeling soft and smooth, reduces redness, smells good, lasts quite a while

Cons:

didn't help with my nodular acne (but didn't really expect it to)
a bit pricey

I've just run out but also just started on generic accutane... I actually like the product well enough that I plan to reorder. Because of starting accutane, however, I'm going to avoid exfoliating for awhile until I see how my skin reacts to the accutane.

Pros:

good exfoliator, cool looking bottle, natural, not too expensive in the long run

Cons:

after about three days my acne just got worse and worse, until i finally gave up about two weeks in.

When i used this, i had moderate acne.. i had just gotten off of murad, which caused me to break out horribly. Before, I'd been on Proactiv, and had mild acne. I used Proactiv in between for about four or five days while i waited for the Acnexus to arrive. It calmed my skin/acne down considerably. Then i proceeded with the acnexus, which worked nicely for like the first three days. It was downhill from there. I only used it for two weeks, and every product i tried i used for anywhere from two weeks to a month.. i think i just need to stick with anything for months to see results. I've always been afraid to pay for return shipping, because i don't think i will get a refund.. the company's pretty shady lol

Pros:

Smell

Cons:

Everything

Stuff sucks. The man that makes it creates fake acne.org user names, and makes fake reviews. Don't buy it unless you hear good stuff from a person, face to face.

Pros:

it has a nice smell, yeah it made my skin softer

Cons:

honestly im serious, this product didnt really clear up my pimples, my skin cleared up when i stopped using it, and when i use it i get one or two pimples

i dont know u cant just buy this product on ratings evryone has different skin, no one has the same. i bought this because it had a lot of good comments, but i was really stupid because i should know my skin type, and this product didnt do anything, but idk dont base it on my rating

Pros:

makes your skin feel good

Cons:

doesnt help existing acne and gives you more

i highly do not suggest using anything with lots of aloe vera gel in it simply because it only clogs up your pores. Sure, they say it gets rid of your scars but its not worth the acne you get from just using it. Sucks. Mid way through using this i had the worst break out ive ever had in my life and now im left with a bunch of red marks on my face, not that i didnt already have enough =[ this stuff sucks
