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

Pros:

works fast! Its keeping my skin clear, and soft. I just use it on my chin as thats where i break out,.I get huge cysts, but using this i just get small little pimples that clear quickly. For me, it works better than RX meds.

Cons:

Little stinky, but not bad. Not even bad enough to call it a con.

Try it! If it works, great. You will only be out a few bucks if it doesnt.

Product used: Bye Bye Blemish (Drying Lotion)

Pros:

This stuff works better than anything over the counter I have tried and believe me I have tried everything. I saw results within two nights when I first bought it. It was great.

Cons:

Can only be used for spot treatment and it smells a little funny. Also you can't put it under foundation.

This stuff WORKS and it doesn't feel like your face is burning off like most acne treatments. It's great for light to moderate acne, but I'm sure it would make a dent in severe acne as well. If you have dry skin like me, but still want to use this product to clear your face, I will tell you my regimen. At night first I use an exfoliating scrub like St. Ives Apricot without any medicine in it. Then I use Noxema cream cleanser. This will get off the dry skin and prevent breakouts. Then I put on an oil free moisturizer. Then I use the recommended cue tip to apply the byebye blemish to any spots that are broken out or look like they're breaking out. In the morning I exfoliate, moisturize, and usually put on makeup but I don't use byebye blemish. The night is all you need and unfortunately you can't put it under makeup. It has worked so well and I'm really happy about my new skin. Good luck! BTW get Lancome's new liquid foundation (and brush) and powder. Beautiful and no break outs so far.

a lot of people don't like the smell, I'm not really lovin it but I don't mind it.
the cost(34 dollars for me) but there's a whole lot in the jar so it'll last forever lol

awesome product, if you can afford it then I'd definitely recommend it.

this product can be costly if you are having to ship it in from usa like me as i can not find it in solihull. also the bottle does not last very long.

Product used: Bye Bye Blemish (Drying Lotion)

Pros:

Clears my stubborn zits. Crazy as this sounds, this stuff clears light moles, if u use this product consistentyly on the mole.

Cons:

pricey item at my local grocery store

I have oily skin so i didn't get any bad reaction using the product. It cleared my whitehead type acne really quick by shrinking the infected area. It also cleared 2 moles on my neck, which were small ones. I applied on the mole for 2 months at night everyday, and it dissapeared. Amazing product :)

Product used: Bye Bye Blemish (Drying Lotion)

Pros:

Excellent product. Dries those zits right up before they have a chance to peak.

Cons:

None for me.

Better than any topical RX doctor's had given in the past. Plus, if you do a spot treatment during the day, you can blend it nicely on your skin after it dries. If you skin is dry, apply and oil free moisturizer first.

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.
