Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)

Pros:

Sulfur and salicylic based = less redness (gentle)
Pretty consistent
Good alternative if sensitive to benzoyl

Cons:

Dry sometimes but then use morad lotion

Tried Proactiv, the benzoyl made my few pimples more inflamed so Morad is a good gentle alternative. Sulfur products are unbelievable in combo with salicylic

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)

Pros:

does not dry up face. reduced DEEP zits.

Cons:

it gives me more white heads.

i've tried proactiv for 3-4 months and it was drying my face so i switched to murad acne complex. i did not experience the "purging" process. my face became better in the first few week and then it was all down hill from there. i've now used murad for 4 months and never lived a day without a white head(well i guess it's better to get white heads than deep zits). anyhow, i like the spot treatment, it works to some degree. i'm going to cancel my membership and go see a doctor cause i'm getting a lot more acne recently. murad does not work very well.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)

Pros:

shiny packages, auto-pay, infomercial inspires me to wash my face

Cons:

burning of the skin, reptile face, puss land mines have been left behind by this evil army of capitalism.

There is a cure for acne,just like cancer, but the rich swine have found it more profitable to sell rubbish that preys on our insecurities. The burn from this product comes from the high content level of mind control serum. FTW, wear your pimples with pride!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Refining Mask)

Pros:

Practically instant results. Redness went away quickly and acne is far less apparent. ^.^

Cons:

There aren't any I don't think.

This product is completely worth the money and works extremely well. I'm very happy with it.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Refining Mask)

Pros:

It works especially after PMS and those unwanted bumps appear.

Cons:

Such a small amount for the price the refining mask is worth every penny; however the other products can be substituted at your local drug store.

If you love your face (which I do) you shouldn't worry touch about the cost ... after all it is your face, the refining mask is worth every penny! p.s Drink lots of water for clear skin it's cheap and you don't have to order online. Also Olay has great products as well

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.
