Used Benzoyl Peroxide? Rate It:
This regimen not only worked for me, but 3 of my friends who all have different types and severity of acne. This photo is of my skin now. Nothing else ever did the trick like the regimen. My friends and I always joke how we are "slaves to the reg" because we need it so badly and we can't ever skip it.
READ: My acne did not go away until about a month - month and a half. I only get pimples if I skip the regimen a few times or half-ass it for a while. Even on nights where you are super tired, drank a bunch, or mornings you want to sleep in and skip it.. remember you are a "slave to the reg". It is VERY worth it though.. nothing like smooth skin! If you do decide to try this product, be sure to use it consistently and follow the instructions very closely for at least a few weeks. I am SO glad I did.
My biggest question is why this regimen isn't as popular as these other super overpriced acne products? Oh wells more for us people who know about it haha. Acne.org gives large quantities of their products for an accurate and realistic price. I usually don't use the whole pump of the lotion and cleanser so I can last about 4-5 months with one regimen purchase, and it is super worth it! My skin has never been clearer, glowier (is that a word?) and healthier. Even if I get a random pimple I apply more of the benzyl and AHA and the buggah is gone. I started the regimen about 2 years ago and I had moderate acne, but sometimes would get cysts that would hurt, so this product truly has eased my pain and given me confidence. I also get compliments on my skin now, like how I used to in middle school before acne happened haha. I would add a pic of the results but some people are scary and I don't want my face over the internet, Ill add this smiley face though :)
Hi all! I don't usually write reviews but I know the bane of trying to find honest reviews, especially when trying to cure our face. So I am going to be as accurate as possible!
For years, I tried most stuff for my face (products to natural ingredients) and found a routine that finally works for my face after 2 years of really bad acne. So, I thought of sharing.
When I got this kit, I used it diligently. I usually leave the foam on my face for 2 minutes before washing it off.
Then I dab about 2 pumps of the toner and wipe my face with it.
For daytime, I use Clinique moisturiser (but honestly there are better ones out there, I rate the moisturiser 3/5). It does work well when I am putting makeup though.
At night, I'll use a "heavier" moisturiser since the toner can be a little drying for the face. I like to add a pump of argan oil for extra moisturising effect.
I don't usually use the toner every day, instead I alternate every 2-3 days. But I definitely used the cleanser everyday.
My face has improved tremendously. I hardly get breakouts (especially on period) and on occasions, pimples do appear but they go away really quickly.
I really recommend people trying this kit to help our faces get better. Highly recommended! For those going through the process of finding your routine, don't give up. I know it's tough but it will get better, I promise :)
I’m three months in and have noticed a slight change not enough to give a full 5 star review. My acne is not as bad anymore and I still have blemishes that I’m trying to banish. Like in the whole three months there has never been a day or days that I haven’t had a breakout. I’m going to push through and finish the kit and give an updated review later.
When I started using this regimen I almost gave up. My face got worse, I bad terrible acne and I felt so ugly. As I write this I'm so happy I didn't give up. It is a lot cheaper than frequent dermatologist visits and experimental regimens. Thanks so much for wonderful products.
This stuff actually works pretty well to calm enflamed, red, breakouts. I put it directly on my individual pimples on before bed. It doesn't do anything to prevent acne, and also it's annoying having to go to bed with white dots all over your face, not very sexy and inconvenient for your significant other.
I've had acne breakouts for 8+ years and NOTHING has worked as a spot treatment better than this product--it's absolutely phenomenal! I recommend this to anyone and everyone who has surficial whiteheads or deep cysts, this product minimizes redness and inflammation without drying out or stinging your skin. 10/10!
If benzyol has not helped you in the past, it will not now. I was very hopeful about this product and it is not to say it doesn't work for people, in my experience it was no different from cheaper more accessible creams like proactiv which for me did nothing. I acknowledge that this is something I observed with my skin, and this will not be the case for everyone. Never the less, I spent $30 on this product and it made me break out and dried out my skin. I even tried the 2-minute leave on method which is shown to reduce irritation, but until I cut out this ingredient from my regime my skin was stuck in severe (keeping in mind I had other treatments going on like salicylic acid and retinoids, so benzoyl might have been too much on top of my regime).
I've been using this for several years & finally found something that worked. The new formula breaks my skin out and I'm glong to have to stop using it. It causes acne even where it had not been a problem. The new formula feels very greasy and slick on your face. It's back to square one. Maybe if I find something new it'll rid the acne that this new formula has caused. Absolutely horrible!
I love this product!!!! I recommend this regimen to everyone I meet. I get so many compliments on my skin. I started this regimen over 3 years ago and like it says in the directions it took about 3 months of discipline and strict following of the rules and since then my whole face cleared up of all acne, along my scars disappearing. I'm so happy I found this product, it really changed my life. My boyfriend has severe acne all over his face and neck, very bad scarring and I just started him on this regimen a little under a month ago when i got a re-up of my kit! Ill post some pictures of his face to show progress since I don't have and before pictures showing my acne before use.
