unsure about the product
when i started using clearogen i got the one month three step system with the sulfur cream. At this time i was desperate for a quick fix as i was suffering from a major hormonal breakout. In the past i had suffered with mild to moderate acne vulgaris and had managed to treat it with over the counter creams and antibiotics. This breakout would not budge and got to the point that i had around 5 cysts on each cheek and several small pimples surrounding the cysts. I finished the 30 day trial and my skin was a lot better. I had around 10 small pimples on my face but for me that was the best my skin had looked in months and i was thrilled. My dermatologist them perscribed me with the benyzol peroxide cream and in the space of four days i had super irritated red cheeks with two cysts on one cheek and several dozen tiny bumps all over. It has been around a month since that initial breakout and my skin is relatively clear on one cheek but the other cheek still has a good 10 big pimples. I spoke to my dermatologist about the reaction as i received a chemical peel a week ago and she told me to start using the benyzol cream again. I am so nervous to try the product again as my acne has affected my mental health hugely. Does anyone have any advice for me?

Pros:

1)Easy to use. 2)My skin wasn't dry during using it. 3)Skin became softer and smoother. 4) It didn't make my acne worse.

Cons:

1)It didn't help me with my acne. Not a little bit.
2)When I applied it my skin got red and itchy (but, funny, it wasn't dry).

I paid 150€ for Clearogen(!!!) and I really believed that it would help me. I was so positive about it. I trusted Dr Khadavi and I respected him as a doctor but I think that changed. I am not as naive as was before. That was the last thing I bought from somewhere that are just trying to earn money. Instead of buying some olive oil and vitamins for my skin I bought this product. And believe me-it is not worth to buy it-not mather what other people may say. Maybe it works for adults with some pimples-but for people like me (my acne is hormonal; I am 17 years old)-there is only one solution. Derm and his perscription.

Pros:

I use this along with retin-a and have only gotten two pimples in the last 6 months. Works great. Love the cleanser. Had used everything else prescription and over the counter and this has worked the best!

Cons:

I have very sensitive skin so the product burns and leaves my skin dry and flakey, especiall the lotion, which smells like play-doh (but pimple FREE!)

Product works like magic but can make your skin really really dry.

Pros:

The "time-released" 2.5% BP lotion with moisturizers is excellent. I've tried all sorts of combinations of BP lotions and moisturizers and this is the only one that doesn't irritate my skin. It does help to "control" my acne somewhat.

Cons:

All of the anti-DHT ingredients etc. to reduce oilyness is a load of crap. Good idea and all, but I'm still just as oily. The cleanser is too overdrying.

This product is essentially just an over-priced fancy BP lotion. Skip the cleanser and toner (buy something else cheaper) and just get the lotion for $25, they have a 60 day money-back guarantee. Within the first week this product really calmed down my breakouts; however, after that I saw no further improvement (its been over two months now). I tried going back to some other BP products, but soon realized how much I missed the Clearogen for how soothing, non-irritating it is and will continue to use the lotion. I have persistant moderate acne and I'm still just as oily as before and far from being clear. The bottom line is in most cases sorry, topicals alone are not going to clear you long-term unless you have very mild acne. Acne is only a symptom that something internally is out of whack (hormones, liver, digestion, food allergy, poor diet, etc). If you have a love-hate relationship with BP I'd definitely recommend this as the hate is a little less since it isn't as irritating.
