Product used: Grisi (Sulfur Soap With Lanolin For Acne)

Pros:

It really worked for me. It took a while, but well worth it. The price. I have seen it up to $5 dollars a bar at other places.

Cons:

It is discontinued. Make sure you are not allergic to sulfur.

Hard to find. I recommend this product if you are Asian with oily skin. You need to use it everyday, a few times a day. Try to clean your face clean. I bought a few bars at [link removed] for 3.99. I have seen it for $5 on other sites. Get it until it is too late.

Product used: KAVI (Coral KAVI)

Pros:

Keeps my skin clear and oil-free with a natural product I can feel comfortable using for years.

Cons:

It wasn't in my bathroom back in high school...

I get this soap from my dermatologist in SD and I couldn't be happier. I told her I didn't want any scripts for antibiotics and nothing that was going to just make things 10% better. I've been using Coral Kavi for three months now and I can tell you it truly works. Acne is not completely gone, but it's better than it's been EVER. And the best part is that I'm achieving this without using chemicals I can't pronounce.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Refining Mask)

Pros:

reduced redness
reduced size

Cons:

not completely gone over night
hard to remove

I've only used this product ONE night and I'll tell you from other products I'd used over the years this one showed results right away. In one day I noticed a difference in size and redness of a big existing pimple I have. Enough to make me jump up and down. It is not competely gone, but is much lighter and not as bad or noticeable. I am definitely going to keep using it for sure.

Product used: KAVI (Coral KAVI)

Pros:

EVERYTHING

Cons:

Yes it can cost a lot for Kavi acne systems but they last forever! It averages to less than $30 a month.

I am about to turn 30 and Kavi has given me hope. Never had acne until I turned 23. I tried everything. Proactive and every over the counter treatment, lemon juice, honey, green tea, then I spent the big bucks and went to the dermatologist, I was put on pills and creams didn't work and put on more pills and creams didnt work. My life changed when I gave in and gave up all dairy and meat two weeks ago. I was desperate to get rid of my acne I thought maybe I have allergies I dont know about. I started to take B6 and B12, zink, and omega 3s. I have been using Kavi Coral, Kavi Toner, Kavi Hyaluronic acid, Kavi Salicylic acid 8 and the Kavi spf lotion for 6 months and my acne was getting better but not gone so I read up on all of Kavis products. Then last week I ordered more Kavi.My new order was Kavi Derma Wash and I love it. Its a very gentle wash that keeps your skin ph balanced and does not irritate your skin. Next up I got Kavi retinol.3% again love it. Last up are my two moisturizers Kave hyaluronic acid and Kavi spf lotion. After one week I went from getting big red painful pimples that would take forever to go away to a new white head everyday. Its been 7 days and NO big pimples are on my face all have gone away with in 3 days and I can see my old face again.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)

Pros:

Refreshing tingly feeling with the cleanser and toner, good size bottles. Less irritation, helps with red skin. It feels great on my skin!

Cons:

Hate the exfoliating gel. It makes my face red and irritated. Takes a while to put on. For some it takes longer than 4 weeks to see results fast.

I've struggled with acne since I turned 14, i'm 19 now. My mom bought be murad, because my dad got it for me when i was 16, it cleared up my skin super fast. Then I ran out of it and we couldn't afford for another at the time. I realized they change the routine, it used to be the cleanser, toner, and the lotion. Now its the cleanser, the exfoliating gel, and the lotion. When I started using it, the gel made my face red, like sunburn and the lotion was to watery for me. So what I do now, is I ordered the toner, got that. Instead of using the lotion, I bought vitamin E oil. The Vitamin E oil is excellent at helping acne marks. So my routine in the morning is: I wash my face with the cleanser, tone, and use this lotion, thats called Alba. It has natural algae in it, and its really really refreshing on the skin. It doesn't clog pores. At Night: I wash my face with the cleanser, but instead of using my hands, I use this little face buffer I found at Salley's. It's gentle enough for everyday use. Then I tone, after that I use the vitamin E oil. I use very little and gently massage it into my skin. Only when the acne marks are. Since I started using vitamin e oil, my skin is a lot, a lot better than it ever has been before. My skin never looked better. I feel confident enough to walk through malls with my head held high. Good Luck everyone :) Oh btw for those of you sceptical about the vitamin E oil, look at the reviews on this website.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Refining Mask)

Pros:

Refining mask is a great spot treatment overnight or mask.

Cons:

Smells funny but thats ok.

I've had acne since I was 16 years old and now ten years later I finally found something that actually works for me. My skin is sooooo much better than before and the good thing is that you don't even need to use it everyday; it last a long time so you get your money worth. Try this if you haven't yet because I promise you it'll work wonders for your skin! If you can't afford it, try just buying the refining mask which you can find anywhere like [link removed] or [link removed] for about $5-$10 for 2.5oz. :)

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)

Pros:

nice smell, nice consistancy

Cons:

i have so many more tiny zits in places i never used to break out in. Also, my face is kind of itchy. However, it has only been 3 day since i stated Murad. I hope this works! I am concerned that this is making my skin worst though.

I'll give it another week and i hope that the so called "purging" process ends. I am skeptical about his product right now. However, ill keep my make up close for time being. My skin is the worst is has ever been since i started using Murad. Perhaps it is purging all the years of abuse and nasty products i have been using. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)

Pros:

smells better then most products and it makes your face feel clean

Cons:

everything did not work at all made my face so bad that i started to get these massive bumps around my checks and chin. they would hurt so bad that i would call my doctor. this never happened to me to this extent until i started to use this product.

I always had acne i used proactive for a long time and it worked wonders for me since nothing else worked. after using proactive for two years i stopped using it and my face looked great well after i had my daughter my face started to break out again like it would when i was 16 so i decided to try murad since the girl at the beauty place i bought it talked me into it she said it was better then proactive. well it made my skin worse i swear it left marks and and made my skin uneven. for someone who already has oily skin it made it shine and left this after feel that i just put grease on my face. i went back to using proactive and over night my face started to clear up so stick with proactive

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)

Pros:

Great cleanser; easy-to-use

Cons:

Spot treatment does not work.

I have been under a dermatologist's care for the past 2 years. In September I had a horrible breakout. My derm tried epiduo, retin-a micro, duac, clindamycin injection, minocin, and doryx---nothing worked. I gave up and decided to use Murad products--in less than 2 weeks my skin became clearer. Hopefully by week 4 my acne will be under control and then I can work on hyperpigmentation.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)

Pros:

The wash feels good to the skin, like it's working.... BUT ITS NOT

Cons:

Made me break out like i have never in my life before experienced. I am still feeling the affects of it and looking to use Carley's clear and smooth to see if it can fix the DAMAGE MURAD has done to my face.

Before purchasing Murad my face wasn't in need of any drastic change i had a few head bumps that i wanted to take care of and in general a face wash i can use to maintain my face. I used Murad for 7 months and didn't improve not even a lil my face broke out in huge pimples and NEVER BEFORE had this happened to me. I wish i read these reviews before trying Murad so anyone reading this consider yourself warned.... Please dont use this product!

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.
