I WISH I WOULD HAVE LOOKED AT ALL THESE REVIEWS BEFORE I STARTED USING THIS CRAP! THATS WHAT IT IS CRAP!!! FIRST OF ALL I AM COMPLETELY CLEAR NOW THANKS TO THE REMARKAMBLE PROACTIV SOLUTION!!! I STARTED USING PROACTIV IN FEBRUARY OF 2005. I STARTED USING IT BECAUSE I HAD BEEN USING PROACTIV AND WAS ACTUALY ON STEROIDS FOR A SICKNESS WHICH GAVE ME A FEW BREAKOUTS NOTHING MAJOR SO I AM THINKING MAYBE THE MURAD WILL HELP CLEAR IT UP BETTER THAN THE PROACTIV. BIY WAS I WRONG!!!!! I BEGAN USING IT AND THE FIRST WEEK I REALLY SAW NO IMPROVEMENT OR ANY BREAKOUTS AND THEN BY THE SECOND AND THIRD WEEK MY FACE WAS COMPLETELY OVERED IN TINY BUMPS IT ACTUALLY LOOKED LIKE A HEAT RASH ALL OVER!!! I WAS INCERDIBLY PISSED OFF!!!! I CALLED THE MURAD PEOPLE AND THEY SAID THAT THIS IS THE PURGING PERIOD, BULLSH*T!!! YOUR SKIN IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BREAKOUT ALL OVER THEN CLEAR UP. I RETURNED IT. NOW I AM BATTLING SOME MILD SCARRING AND HAVING TO GET GLYCOLIC PEELS. USE PROACTIV NOT MURAD!!!!!!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Refining Mask)

Pros:

It doesn't have any wierd side effects and it doesn't irritate ur skin

Cons:

It didn't really do much for me, not worth the 70 bucks.

I've been using the stuff for about 3 years now and i haven't really gotten much of a result. Though its the only stuff that has even the slightest impact on my acne. For me, this stuff isn't worth the 70 bucks i'm finally gonna quit and move to accutane.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)

Pros:

ha!

Cons:

glad I didnt order after reviewing all of these.

I called and the first thing they asked me was my credit card type and card number. I then said WOW can you tell me about this product first and they said ' well what do you want to know mam, didnt you get all of the information off the info(on TV)' .....How unprofessional and sounded like a scam. Will never order from a business like that. BYE!

Product used: Grandpa's (Thylox Acne Treatment Soap)

Pros:

helps to lessen break outs

Cons:

causes me to get those annoying little hard milia bumps

this soap does work well to prevent break outs. when break outs do occur this soaps helps them to go away quicker and not become so big and inflamed. however this soap causes me to get milia. nothing helps the milia to go away except for going to the derm for extractions. so for this reason my grandpas soap went in the garbage and i have switched to joesoefs sulfur soap. this soap blows grandpas out of the water. it doesnt cause break outs of any kind for me. works really well at keeping me clear. there are some harsh reviews on here about joesoefs shipping and customer service. the company was just having some issues for a few months. ive ordered from them numerous times and only had a problem once and that was back in november and the co. did issue a refund and an apology.other than that i have always received my products rather quickly and the customer service has always been amazing.i have seen much better results with the joesoefs soap and i highly recommend it over grandpas.

Pros:

nice tingly feeling i guess.

Cons:

Using Murad, i have worse acne than i probably ever had using acne free, clean and clear, proactive, zeno...ect. It's bad. Don't buy it. plus I am out of it and they automatically ship it to me and i should have gotten it over a week ago.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)

Pros:

None

Cons:

Everything...I broke out in places I never did. It's been 2 1/2 weeks and I'm still purging??? I don't think so! I went back to Proactive and see an approvement already. I just returned it so hopefully no issues with my refund

If you don't want to break out more than you already do don't use this!

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.
