Rodan + Fields : Unblemish

Let me start off by saying that I suffer from extremely oily skin and cystic acne. I started getting cystic acne at 25 years old. I'm now 30 and found my staple face regimen. Yes... It took 5 years of dermatologist visits, prescription topical creams and gels, oral antibiotics, and many different high end creams from Sephora and Ulta. Nothing worked. I was very close to starting Accutane. So I was bombarded on Facebook by multiple sells reps about me trying their products and selling their products. To be honest, I never took their product reviews serious because I thought all of the good reviews came from the sellers trying to make money. I thought it was a gimmick. But... I thought I'd try it because Rodan and Fields are very experienced dermatologists. It worked so well for me. My skin is less oily. I've only had 2 pimples since I started using unblemish. I've been using the products about a month. I gave it 4 stars because I expected larger bottles of product for the price. I always remove my makeup with neurogena makeup wipe before starting the regimen, as I do not think the face wash will remove makeup. Another pointer for anyone thinking of using these products is that I sometimes let the sulfur face wash sit my on skin several minutes, like a mask. I hope this review will help someone with chronic acne. I do not currently sell Rodan and fields, however, the quality of the unblemish line has gotten me interested. I just wish it wasn't so expensive to get started. I also use the PMD microdermabrasion weekly to help with exfoliation which is so important for oily skin. The combination of all these products have worked wonders on my skin. I'm so happy!

Dried my skin out and caused my acne to reappear (which is more cystic in nature). I am going back to using a combo of Burt's Bees acne face wash, tea tree oil application and Clearogen acne lotion 2x a day, plus the Clean & Clear Advantage mark treatment as needed. This has been the most effective solution I've found to date, resulting in very clear skin 3/4ths of the time (...just haven't figured how to prevent breakouts during that one week of each month yet...)

I have been struggling with acne ever since I was 13 ( I am now 27) and have taken acutane and tried many other pills and dermatology grade creams. I was very hesitant to try this product because of the price and not having good luck with pro-active (same doctors). I only tried it because my neighbor sells it and I saw a few other people's results first hand. I always thought I would just never be the girl who had nice skin and would always struggle with break-outs, but this product really worked for me. I am not saying it will work for everyone, but that is why you get the 60 day money back guarantee so it is worth a try.

Worst product ever! Causes skin to break out in blackheads. Skin became increasingly worse as use continued. Don't recommend product or company. Satisfaction guarantee, they don't believe or follow their own words. Product ONLY has a 60 day refund. They tell you to use it, be patient, give it more time, then it is past refund and they will NOT stand behind this defective product. Don't use it, for $170.00, really?! Don't make this expensive mistake. Worst customer service I have ever encountered! We gave this product over 3 months and the what started as minor acne turned into the worst case acne I've seen. One month after stopping this product skin is finally clear. Therefore we wasted $170.00, three plus months and an acne ridden face. Again, don't waste your time, money or the sacrifice of your skin!!

This product has not helped my skin since mid March. I seem to be breaking out more than usual and i have been getting more white heads more than anything. I'm very dissatisfied with the product.

So I just lost my extremely long, detailed review when I signed up to publish it (dang!)... but the bottom line was that this is amazing! So don't listen to all what I have to say (because I'm not retyping all that right now)... Just get out there and try it yourself! It's worth the try, especially if regular acne washes and regimens haven't worked for you, or if you have moderately sensitive, scarred, combination skin like me. I've suffered from mild to moderately severe acne since age 11, and now I'm 20, and this is the only thing I've tried that I would ever highly recommend to anyone. Screw the details, just take my word for it, fellow-acne and scar suffering friend! It felt like a miracle after all those years of feeling like a leper... and I'm only less than a month into it! TIP: If you are somewhat sensitive to benzoyl peroxide, use the 3rd step only every other day. I use the rest of the steps only once a day, as I know my sensitive acne-prone skin wont' tolerate more washing than that. Now, my skin looks brighter, smoother, pores smaller, no blackheads, no new zits for a couple weeks, almost all of my awful jawline acne scars/peeling sores have disappeared. The wash feels great, not over-drying (I can stand to wait awhile to put moisturizer on afterward, rather than needing moisturizer instantly afterwards). The sulfur is much nicer and gentler than salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide in a wash. There's absolutely no burn and you don't have to use hardly any, just a nice sized dot on your fingertip, so it's very cost effective. The toner doesn't burn either, and it feels clean, refreshing, brightening, and minimizing of pores. The dual treatment feels amazing, even though I can only use it every other day. It evens and brightens and somewhat even somehow seems to deeply moisturize my skin like nothing else, be sure to let it penetrate and dry a minute or two before applying moisturizer so they don't mix together and make a roly-poly, peely, white sunscreen mess.. It makes my skin literally glow all day. The moisturizer is the nicest I've ever encountered, it doesn't make my skin itch nor shine, and it doesn't make me want to rinse it off either. There is a sort of "residue", kind of like some primers, but it's not an irritating one at all. I really really like that the white of the zinc in the sunscreen further evens and brightens my skin tone. It feels more like a nice primer than a thick greasy lotion. The best parts about this regimen is the lack of discomfort, itchiness, irritation, burning, sloughing, peeling, tiring, dehydrating, and drying and merely managerial abilities of harsher meds, and the effectiveness of keeping acne from surfacing or appearing to begin with... None of the useless spot treatment mentality!

My skin feels smoother, however I am now getting blackheads on my cheeks rather than white heads... I don't understand why. I've never gotten blackheads there before. It's almost like its making my pores bigger in order to not trap in oils, but instead dirt & such is just settling in my pores! I wish someone would explain the logic behind this phenomena.

This stuff is the first acne treatment that has ever worked for me. I've been on antibiotics for 8 years, Bactrim, doxycycline, monocycline, tried proactive, over the counter facewash, prescription acne cream, nothing worked. I was so sure this wouldn't work, but nothing else was working and my acne was getting worse at 25, until my boyfriend said it had helped his friend. It is super expensive but honestly it the clearest my face has been since I was like 15, so it's worth it to me.

First, lets get the facts out of the way, I am a 33 year old female. I have had hormonal cystic acne for several years now. Recently I have had a ovary removed and undergone a hormone suppressing drug therapy. In other words, I have no estrogen in my system. Now, the story. I started using this line right after I had the one ovary removed. I started with the recommended build up routine. My skin had seemed to clear for two of three weeks. Then boom! It was worse! Acne in areas of my face that previously never had it! Once I had started the twice a day regimen my skin dried out and every pore on my cheeks, jaw and hair line got crusty and burned all day. My consultant warned me that some people find it too strong and have to back off to once a day. She warned me that after four weeks I would likely see a purge and it was perfectly normal. I decided that I was over doing it and backed off to once a day. I have been using this line once a day for more than 60 days and have had little to no results. At times I feel like my skin is looking better but most of the time I feel it's worse. Today I was contacted about refilling my order. The consultant told me it might take 90 days before it clears up. WHAT?! NO! Now, I KNOW THAT I have no estrogen in my system, so it can't be hormonal fluctuations at this point. I don't feel that this product was worth it's cost. I have taken pictures along the way and am sad about this experience. I have one good thing to say about this product. All my tiny black heads are gone. But all in all this product did not work for me. There must be people that it works for because I see positive reviews on all the sites that I visited to find some sort of answer to why this product is not working for me. I just hope that all these scars heal and that my previous care routine can bring me back to the skin I had a few months ago.

I'm really trying to give this product the benefit of the doubt. I tried it because I would always have 1-2 pimples on my face at any given time, and I'm sick of looking like a teen (I'm in my early 20s). However, I've been using the product for exactly 3 weeks and have gone from 1-2 pimples on any given day to 8-10. They say this is the "purge" phase and it'll all get better, but if it doesn't start to work in the next two weeks I'm giving up. Sincerely disappointed, as this is something I've struggled with for a couple years now and am starting to get desperate.
