New formula and some weird logistics things.
So I have been ordering the treatment from the official website for years. The latest order has something that caught my attention. 1. The order takes faster to arrive in my country. Previous orders took about 3 week but this one took only 1 week. 2. I received an email saying I will receive two 8 oz products instead of one 16 oz I ordered. But in fact I did receive one 16 oz. 3. The consistency of the benzoyl peroxide gel is different. It's thicker, whiter, more lotion like. It no longer burns when I first put on like it burned before. And no irritation whatsoever if I leave it on my face even for hours. I almost think they put the moisturiser in the bottle by mistake. I will keep using and see if the new formula works.

Effective against acne.
I have a lot of acne on my back and chin and it has improved a lot since I started using this product. Benzoyl is a tricky ingredient for skin, so make sure you do your research before using it.KakaoTalk_20240520_145320095.jpg

What do you mean it no longer works? It does work. In fact, it works better than ever as of just a few days ago. I launched a new ultra-micronized benzoyl peroxide that will blow your mind. You should try it if you haven't already. I made a YouTube video about it actually. I agree that I should be more communicative with you guys. Point taken.

Acne.org product no longer works
Acne.org has changed the formula. It no longer works. It smells, feels and looks different from their products from years ago. What used to work amazingly well is now nothing more than a white paste.

Dry skin and increase acne over long-term

Irritating and drying, moisturizer didn't help
All it did was dry up and irritate my skin even though I used it with moisturizer. Using it for a longer period, my skin just got worse. I have severe acne.

Simply the best!!
This has been a holy grail product for me since I started using it in 2020. As an adult acne sufferer in my 40s this has been the only line that keeps my skin consistently clear. I admit m, there are times when I get influenced by the internet to try a new product and when I do and have a breakout I come back to Acne.org and my skin is right again. Bottom line, this is the o lu skincare you need!

What happened to Dr. Sheffield's Zit Acne Cream?
Dr. Sheffields Zit Acne Cream with Benzoyl Peroxide was the best and now I can no longer find it. I wonder where it went. It worked better than anything else.

Finding a Doctor

The right dermatologist can make a big difference to your patient experience and the success of your acne treatment plan. Here are the steps to find a dermatologist who is a good fit:

  1. Use the search feature on the American Academy of Dermatology website to look for board-certified dermatologists in your area, and filter the search results for doctors with a special interest in treating acne.
  2. Read online patient reviews of any dermatologists you are considering and ask people you know whether they have any experience with these dermatologists.
  3. Do your research and go to your first appointment with questions prepared.
  4. Listen to what your gut feeling tells you once you see a dermatologist in person. If you are not completely comfortable, try a different dermatologist.

Finding a Doctor

Only a select few plastic surgeons specialize in acne scar revision surgery. Be certain to find a provider who specializes in acne scar repair and who is passionate and experienced in this area.

Be sure to:

  • Look at before and after photos, the more the better, especially patients with similar scarring to your own.
  • Be realistic about results. Look for improvement, not a cure.

Questions to ask a potential scar revision specialist:

  • Are you board certified? Be certain that they are board certified.
  • How long have you been performing these procedures? Normally, the more experience the better, however, some younger surgeons may be more on top of the latest procedures.
  • Can I speak to some of your other patients? Ask for references for several patients who had similar scarring and speak to them about the process and their satisfaction with results.

Red flags:

  • Their story changes: As you discuss different treatment options, if they tend to change their mind easily, or agree with whatever you say, consider this a red flag. A confident, experienced surgeon will possess strong, unwavering opinions.
  • Your gut tells you "no": Trust your gut. If you just don't feel that the doctor is the right fit, trust that and move on. On the other hand, if you feel they are the perfect specialist for you, trust that feeling.
