Muy buen producto.
Si ha funcionado para mi piel. Ya no tengo granitos, y muchas marcas rojas ahn desaparecido. Todavía tengo hiperpigmentación, no mucha, pero realmente ha cambiado mi piel. Al principio fue muy duro, picaba mucho y estaba roja, pero ahora, luego de tres meses de usos, mi piel esta suave y ya no esta seca. Solo recomiendo que se use despacio. Yo tuve una pequeña irritación en un granito y ahora tengo una marca roja grande, está desapareciendo, pero mi piel era sensible y yo fui muy rápido. Tal vez solo eso, para personas con problemas de hiperpigmentación las marcas rojas no son fáciles de ir aún usando el régimen. Creo que incluso hay una sensibilidad mayor. Claro las marcas luego desaparecen, y hay unas que no son graves. También me di cuenta que la mente tiene mucho que ver en el acné. En general es un excelente producto para el acné, y su página muestra de forma sincera los tratamientos e información sobre el acné. Me ayudo mucho y estoy muy contenta. Ahora probaré AHA para las marcas rojas.. y veremos. Recomendado!

It works but,,my eyes..
I have been using this for about a month, twice a day. I started with small amount and gradually increased. It works great but I can't put anything around my eyes. it dries my face out like crazy, but I don't know what to put around my eye area. It stunk my eyes so bad since the beginning and it got a lot better but it still stinks my eyes. I am very careful when I apply this and tried several ways to apply moisturizer for my eyes, still not 100% satisfied. I would like to know if someone has same problem like me, and what eye cream and how do you apply eye cream so it doesn't stink my eyes. Thank you

Actually I do too! Even now, entering my second month with BP, it still does. But I know it's working so I just bare with it utnil you really get used to it. To reduce it's dryness, i put a bit of vaseline petroleum jelly after the BP & moisturizer dries.

Receutics
I have moderate acne, nothing too bad, but I wanted to try n clear my skin. I tried two other products before this and they didn't work. Then I tried receutics and after one night there was a notable difference. It does burn the first couple of times that you apply it but that goes away. Id also recommend getting a good moisturizer that won't clog your pores because this will dry out your skin a bit. I didn't use the moisturizer everyday though. This product probably isnt good for sensitive skin but if your skin isn't sensitive then this should work wonders. After acouple months I noticed small breakouts and I started to use it every other day and that helped. Also, I didn't use the skin toner corrector part very much, maybe once every other week. So you can just buy the parts separate and save money.

The best regimen ever!
So in December my acne was freaking horrible! Hyperpigmentation, white heads, blackheads a couple of cysts. I was literally using everything because I had nothing to lose from black soap to scrubs nothing worked. I had heard about this way before I decided to dish out $120 for the whole kit, I started using the kit just as the instructions follows. Washing my face twice a day and using the BP after, following up with the moisturizer, jojoba oil and a basic $20 SPF from Sephora that doesn't leave that white tinted finish. I will say at the beginning this was stressful, waking up 30 mins before I should to make sure I had time to let everything absorb. The burning WILL SUBSIDE! This was the worst part for me for the first two weeks, the BP will burn and so will the moisturizer until your skin adapts, I sat in front of a fan and waited until it dried lol! But it does work and it works fast, I've literally recommend this to all my friends who suffer from acne. Don't let the bad reviews stop you because your skin may react differently than theirs. I'll post pics to my account!

Disappointing
I was so excited to try this product, because I had heard that it did wonders for a lot of people. I don't usually have sensitive skin. However, I I reacted quite badly to this cleanser somehow because my face went really red, itchy and a bit swollen. Maybe I'm allegic to benzoyl peroxide or something else in this cleanser, but all the sideaffects I got didn't go completely away until three days later! My face went a tiny bit dry, but that wasn't really a problem at all. It didn't break me out or anything either. I don't think I'm going to try this again because I'm afraid of the side affects and my face getting so irritated. Maybe I just used to much of it, but if you would like to try it I recomend you to do a spatch test first. The smell was really nice though.

Pretty good
This is the only cleanser with salicylic acid I've found that doesn't make my skin dry, irritated or worse. I don't use it as my everyday cleanser but when my skin is really bad and it seems to start looking better by the next day. Of all the drugstore brands; Neutrogena, Oxy, Clearasil, Aveeno, Biorre, Cetaphil ect. this brand and this particular cleanser has worked the best. ***EDIT*** After a couple months my skin has gotten more oily from using this so the last month I've been using Clean and Clear's triple treat cleanser, the one with the blue bottle w/pump and it is amazing and recommend it much more than this. No Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate in triple treat cleanser. I will write a review soon.

Try this! Run do not walk
I started struggling with acne in my late 20's and I am now in my late 30's. I had a major painful outbreak of persistent acne for the last two years and this kit has transformed my skin in about a months time. Today my skin is beautiful, clear, and luminous. I was afraid to try this because of bad experiences with proactive years ago and I thought benzoyl peroxide was not for me, but I was wrong. Upon first application the pain and irritation my skin was immediately soothed. I have very sensitive skin and knew this going in, so I adjusted the regimen. first day I applied twice a day, ( soothed skin what a releif!) next day once a day and then a two day break then two days on once a day Then two days off I applied once a day two on two off for the rest of the month. I did not increase application to every day because I was experiencing progress and I did not need to use the treatment every day for results. For me using the treatment to often causes irritation. today I use the treatment once or twice a week to maintain my results. I love the cleanser and moisturizer and I use these every day. This is a very effective system and I could not be happier!

Help needed!
Help, please! I did the test on this page and according the results I bought bp together with AHA (no face washer or moisturiser), as I have acne only on and under my chin. So I started to use bp in the morning for the first two weeks, and only on the third week I managed to put it in the evening as well. Now it's been three weeks since I started to use it on affected area and my skin looks terrible. It's all red and it looks burnt, it seems like wounds opened on my chin. The skin peals off all over that area, feels so itchy. It hurts so much when I apply bp after the shower or moisturiser after bp. I haven't started to use AHA yet, and I take the moisturiser everywhere with me and use it few times a day (I have Neutrogena spf15). Has anyone experienced anything similar and could advise what shall I do? Should I stop using it at all? Or should I do a break? Or should I continue? I am afraid the damage will be worse than having acne..

Hi, I did get flakes, extremely dry skin, skin discoloration when I started this regimen, bp is harsh on my skin so, I started alternating it.. I do once a day a day off but once a day when my face got used to the irritation I sometimes do twice a day but not regularly.
April 6, 2017
My skin looks reddish after I apply it but it goes down not long after. I have extremely dry skin because of this product though, my skin literally flakes. It was irritating when I first started a few weeks ago, but I persisted.. only sometimes after I put the soother on does it sting for a little bit, I just ignore it. It did break me out, but I read that was normal.. that it was your skin purging.

You need to alternate days. Or use less product. Two days on....Two days off! Be patient! 😊

Mirena & Acne
Hello All! I am a 30 year old female with combo skin; I was also born, raised, and reside in Arkansas. I'm not going to blame my embarrassing acne on the weather or what Arkansas offers on a daily basis, but I will say I've been battling this embarrassing stuff since I was 13 years old. TMI: I was considered a "woman" at the age of 9 -- so this may have jump started this war zone. Either way, a cure for acne sure would be nice. Hah! I have been on gels, creams, medications, birth control, proactiv, melaleuca products, Rodan & Fields, charcoal, oil cleansing treatment, baking soda, Avon, clarity, Clinique, Mary Kay, some other off brand treatments or even very high end treatments, and all the essential oil treatments that are supposed to work wonders.. well... here I am. Writing this review... I will say the Mirena is my worst nightmare.... I never knew that kind of acne existed. I've always had every kind of acne you could think of on my face. I like to think of it as identifying what kind of trees are in the woods. My face is the woods and the acne on my face is the trees. So much variety! Hah! I have seriously dealt with them all but dealt with more cystic acne. The black heads and white heads can kick rocks on a daily basis, but the cystic keeps kicking my tail end day in and day out. I have lots of scars but it is getting better with this regimen. Is it clearing up my skin? Yes it is, but it's doing the best it absolutely can. With Mirena, it's an endless maze with too many dead ends. The pimples I do get fade extremely quickly. The pimples I do get form to a head faster so the cystic acne doesn't try to stay at a Mount Olympus status as long. Which is nice! Lol! Yes, I should get rid of the Mirena, but I'm doing what my doctor is telling me. I have another couple of months to see how this works and if I'm not seeing any change, then the Mirena will go. I have been on the regimen since the middle of January and it's the end of March. I'm going to keep this regimen close to my heart for the next couple of months.. I have pictures but I don't see a place to post them. I will keep updating this along my battle/journey. Any tips would be much appreciated. Oh, and yes, I know there are many options of different forms of birth control. I am very aware and weighing my options AFTER my doctor and I decide this just isn't working. Best wishes to those who have a similar situation. We can get through this, some how and some way!

it seems as if your issue lies with your birth control, not the regimen. your rating can be misleading to others who are looking for something that will finally clear up their skin. whenever I'm considering purchasing something online I always look to the more negative reviews to shed some light on what may go wrong. I hope you can change your rating or edit your review to focus on the regimen and its effectiveness, not the birth control.

UNETHICAL COMPANY
never got to try the product and it's a shame the company selling it is very unethical and i really mean that, at the end of their order process from their site it makes it sound like with the coupon you are getting a second bottle for 5 bucks, yer not you are ordering a second bottle then the third bottle is 5 bucks, called and emailed many times no way to change the order so my order went from 34 bucks up to 70 bucks and wasn't able to change it the company could care less no replies to emails wouldn't answer the phone or return phone calls few times even sent email from their site to NOT ship the order and called left message and emailed from home still they shipped the order contacting BBB also VERY UNETHICAL STAY AWAY

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.
