On Sunday I used Rodan and Fields "Unblemish" for the first time.Immediately after my skin began to itch, turn red, and burn. I spoke with my consultant and she said that's normal, your face needs to purge. So I followed the directions and applied it again two days later. At this point my face felt like sand paper but I wanted to give it another try. I immediately regretted it. My skin burned as if someone had thrown boiling water mixed with poison on my face. It began to bubble and blister and swell. By Tuesday night my face literally hot to the touch. Wrinkly like an old woman (I'm 28). And itches beyond belief! I can't sleep or smile due to pain and itching. I looked up pictures of burn victims, and it's exactly what my skin looks like right now. My consultant told me to keep going, that it needs to do this to get better. Um, no thank you. This is awful. So I started hydrating last night with lotion, and it can't stay on my skin because it's eating it up so fast. I woke up today completely swollen on my entire face, my eyes look like slits. My consultant offered to swap it out with a different product but I do not trust this brand. It is literally poison. Everyone at work is looking at me like they either feel so sorry for me, or have asked if I had a chemical peel. One woman kindly asked if I was okay, and then asked if their was anything she needs to know, like if I was safe at home..... I told her what happened and she said she thought someone had thrown boiling water on me. All that to say, do not use anything from Rodan and Fields.It's poison.

I had been on Proactiv when I was in my early 20's for a few years than gradually bumped up the Extra Strength (10% Benzoyl Peroxide) line after the 2.5% stopped working for me. I began breaking out with large cystic acne, getting more congested on my cheeks, jawline and although I was always broken out on my t-zone it was still never cleared. Even when Proactiv was working it didn't fully clear my skin up completely as promised. At one point my skin erupted so badly covered in zits and cysts I said enough. I cancelled my membership and discontinued Proactiv right away to get professional treatment by my dermatologist and so glad I did. I will NEVER use Proactiv again....

X out has a ridiculously high amount of benzoyl peroxide in it. This made my face so dry that I could barely move it, and no moisturizer could save me. This is a terribly made product due to the fact that it causes extreme redness and irritation all while it did nothing for my acne. This product may help some people, but overall it does not help the majority.

Let me start by saying for the past 3 years I have had moderate/severe acne--this included at least 2-5 deep, painful cysts (that lasted weeks!) AND clusters of pustules/papules all over my cheeks, chin, and jawline on any given day. My cheeks and chin were LOADED with red post-acne marks from just healed acne and my nose was covered in blackheads. My face was so irritated and red, I hated my skin and bought/tried every product I could get my hands on. Things I've tried: Proactiv, Murad, Dermalogica, Desert Essence, Alba, Clean & Clear, Neutrogena, Repechage, Philosophy, Origins, Clinique... I also tried not washing my face, apple cider vinegar, coconut oil... The list goes on! All the products listed above I tried for up to three months before frustration set in and I switched to something new. I saw Acne Free when my skin was at it's absolute worst, and in desperation (I was having a low self esteem day) forked over the $20.00 for the kit. I had already spent thousands of dollars on products, treatments, dermatologist and esthetician visits, so the price really didn't bother me much. I just wanted relief. The first day was pretty bad. After washing my face with the cleanser (which smells so good!) my skin felt clean and not dry or overly washed. However, the toner and moisturizer BURNED. I almost washed it off because of how badly it burned, but I've used BP products before and knew my skin would need to adjust... And it did! Give your skin a chance to acclimate to the new products and try to add a little more moisturizer each day while your skin gets used to the benzoyl peroxide. My skin did get a little dry, and some peeling occurred, but stick with it because there will be clear skin underneath! Yes, my skin was red and tender for about a week but there was literally nothing you could do to make my skin worse at that point in my life! Stick with it! I woke up after my first full day of use to discover that I had absolutely NO NEW BREAKOUTS! Or even emerging breakouts. I was still pretty skeptical, though, because some products work great for the first weeks and then tend to stop working. I continued using my Acne Free day and night, and every week my skin got clearer and clearer! It's now been a full three months since I first purchased my Acne Free (that's how long all the products have lasted me!) and I am about to purchase my second round. I have absolutely zero acne on my face, even the blackheads I thought were a part of my nose are GONE! I have a lot of acne scars on my cheeks from the past years, but nothing feels as good as waking up next to my boyfriend makeup and acne free, or going out in public with my beautiful skin. Sorry for my novel, but I have cried tears of joy several times since my skin has cleared and felt the need to share my story so that hopefully someone else will find the same relief I have! Thank you Acne Free!!!

PROACTIV IS A SCAM!! As soon as you give them your credit card number you are fu*ked! They will charge your card and send you packages you did not order every month. They just keep charging your credit card when ever they like even if you read the fine print and call them to cancel your account. They have illegally charged my credit card 4 times after I canceled my account! The product is maybe not that bad, depending on your skin, but the way they treat customers if awful! I will be seeking legal advise on what to do about the illegal charges they made, and I will certainly not advise anyone to buy their product ever!!!

X out honestly is amazing. It cleared up my skin and worked great. I stopped using X out for a while and my skin has been awful. It clears up my skins and make it bright, awesome, and overall super happy. BTW, I have combination skin

My acne was out of control , I had big huge lumps all over my face and neck, I would cry when I would take off my makeup. I tried every acne soap , treatment , oral medication, prescription, dermatologists , and nothing seemed to work . A coworker told me about this product , I really didn't think it would work , i had lost hope. In 2 days I saw such a big difference ! I am now almost done with the treatment and I have no acne , I get one or two pimples that go away in a day or two . Clinique gave me back my confidence.

I had terrible breakouts for 5 months, and I mean really massive, cystic acne the type that has people staring at you in the street. I was running out of options and never considered Effaclar until I went to a dermatologist. She had want to put me on Roaccutane but I refused. She gave me some samples of Effaclar as a sweetener but I didn't think anything of it, in fact I wasn't going to bother with them at all until I ran out of moisturiser. Anyway, it wasn't instant but it has definitely cleared my acne so much so that I don't come on Acne.org anymore but have today to tell people to give it a shot. I know how upsetting acne can be and how it can ruin your life so I really just wanted to give my opinion in the hope that others get the same positive results and all without having to go down the dangerous accutane route.

DO NOT EVER PURCHASE THIS ACNE PRODUCT. This is my first time ever writing a review, but I feel like I had to get out how I feel about this product. This product made my skin 100x worse. I have struggled with acne all of my teenage years (I'm 20 now). I tried Proactive a few years back and that product absolutely did not work either. It was far too costly and it made my skin worse. I don't know if the acne fighting ingredients just don't agree with my skin or what, but this product is horrible. I wish there was a spot to write reviews on the XOut website because I would. I used it for about a month and had to stop. I had pimples everywhere.. more than ever. Big pimples that hurt! I've never had such terrible skin. I stopped recently and have been using just a Clean and Clear scrub, and my skin is FINALLY back to normal. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT. ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE.

When I first used this product, I was very excited. It seemed like it'd be easy to use, it smelled pretty nice, and when I washed it into my face, an intense, cool feeling breezed into my pores. Before I used to product, I had multiple, tiny pimple like bumps on my forehead that I could not seem to get rid of. I tried, unfortunately, popping them but they didn't seem to go away. I used the wash and they started to go away! Sounds like a miracle wash so far? Oh no no no. I guess since I messed with the pimples, it opened up the skin a little (there were no scabs or redness though??). About a day later, a weird, shiny layer of skin covered, what seemed like, my entire forehead! It was almost like a shiny, clear scab that I couldn't get off. Eventually, about a week or two later, the shiny coating peeled off and the pimples were gone. Although I loved the fact that those stubborn pimples were gone, I was not fond of the shiny skin. It's now been about a month and a half since that event and I am still getting weird patches of shiny skin, but this time, much worse and all over my face. This time, the patches are shiny, a brown/red color (not like a scab), very very big (almost an inch to a centimeter in diameter?), and everywhere! They leave scars and are very unsettling. There are currently 3 on my face and 3 that are recovering. Although I do believe this is partially my fault (I should have just left the pimples alone and let the X Out do it's stuff) but it's getting old.
