apple49 0 Share Posted September 29, 2004 It doesn't have anything new that isn't in other proven products:sd mysalicylic acid, sulfur, and 2.5% BP.I saw the line on Gloss.com and it was rather pricey. I would pass on it. If someone thinks these ingredients would help their acne, I would go with DDF, Murad, Peter Thomas Roth, and Beauti Control which all have a longer track records and the Beauti Control is a quite a bit cheaper.I think it is a marketing ploy to appeal to a different demographic than the Proactiv. I have not used the line, but I am really into the Nucelle products. Six weeks and my stubborn cysts are a lot better and my skin is really soft and smooth. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

junkeroos 0 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Technically it's just a BP kit with added botanical and medical ingredients that help with the skin. I do not see any irritants and most ingredients you'll find in many other skin products. In my experience, it didn't do much, however, $40 for 60 days is not too expensive if you look at it. The first one that goes out first before 60 days is the cleanser, then the lotion. It's an impressive formula i just I don't know why it will not work. Maybe they should add tea tree oil, green tea extract, and Vitamin K in their toner. Salicylic Acid for the active ingredient in their cleanser then add vitamins A, C & E for their lotion.
