Product used: KAVI (Coral KAVI)

Pros:

I really liked that I got three Coral Kavi soaps in one order...a great bargain! I use it everytime I shower or bath. The acne is clearing up and the keratosis that I had on my upper arms is gone. (I only had a minor case, but the soap worked!)

Cons:

Smells a little like sulfur, but there aren't any added fragrances to work up my allergies.

What can I say? It works, is way cheaper than prescription sulfur, and doesn't add any extra steps to my routine!

Pros:

nothing

Cons:

expensive, just takes out your pimples, whiteheads, and makes it stay there.it does nothing to reduce it.

its not really a great product. its expensive and doesnt really help. ive taken it day and night for 2 months straight and no effect. and the sulfur acne spot treatment smells a little and burns ur face a little. it doesnt even help. i apply that 3 times a day and the acne spot is still there.it used to be light acne now its all the way to moderate.

Pros:

This is the first product that has been able to keep my acne under control.

Cons:

I don't find the Acne Spot Treatment as effective as products that use benzoyl perozide. My face does get a bit shiny during the day.

I love this product. I tried Proactive, but it did nothing for me. Murad works great for me. I love the alpha hydroxy Exfoliating Acne Treatment Gel - that has been the key to keeping my breakouts at a minimum. The Skin Perfecting Lotion makes my face feel hydrated, although makes my face a bit shiny. Still, it's nothing like the oil that I had prior to using the product. I also use St. Ives Blemish Control Apricot Scrub a few times as week, and Smashbox Anti-Shine mattifier every day to keep the shine down. I still break out around my period, but get 1 or 2 zits vs. the 30 I got before. Even dealing with Murad has been great. I don't use the products as frequently as they are mailed out, so I requested a hold be put on my account - and have had no issues. Trying to quit Proactive was a pain in the ass - they kept sending me more products, expecting me to pay for them, or pay to ship them back. The price-point is fair, as well. $60 for two months worth (which last

Pros:

The spot treatment is good at soothing blemishes

Cons:

Neverending purging

The cleanser is fairly well however I have seen better results from the Neutrogena oil-free acne wash. The exfoliating gel makes my face feel nasty and is probably the cause of my neverending purging. The skin perfecting lotion makes my face way too shiny and I only squeeze a pea sized amount of lotion out. Basically, I would not reccomend this regimen.

Pros:

it works!

Cons:

can be a bit drying when used togeter.

Best thing I have ever used on my acne prone skin. I only use the cleanser and body scrub. A little goes a long way so the price becomes reasonable.

Pros:

It smells good, the cleanser works good and doesn't scrub your face like proactiv.

Cons:

IT MAKES YOUR FACE BREAKOUT REALLY BAD. WHITEHEADS EVERYWHERE!

BOTTOM LINE IS DONT USE THIS PRODUCT UNLESS YOU CAN WITHSTAND A COUPLE OF WEEKS OF BAD BREAKOUTS. I USED PROACTIV FOR AROUND A YEAR AND I HAD MY ACNE UNDER CONTROL. I STILL BROKE OUT LIKE 1-3 PIMPLES A WEEK OR SO BUT SINCE USING MURAD I GOT 5 PIMPLES A DAY FOR A WEEK. I CAN SEE MORE DEVELOPING SO I AM DONE WITH THIS STUFF. WARNING!!! DO NOT USE THIS STUFF!!! TERRIBLE OUTCOME!

Pros:

i noticed that my skin wasnt ever oily anymore, and that it was softer and more even.

Cons:

the purging process never stopped and you just keep breaking out.....

after reading hundreds of aweful reviews from people who used it over a long period of time, and being asked if i had herpes because of the horrible breakouts it gave me, i decided to quit using it. i used it for 4 weeks, and i just couldnt handle the breakouts anymore...

Pros:

It dries up acne really fast, I use it as a mask and spot treatment. My skin LOOKS and FEELS as if you were to touch a 6 year olds face.

Cons:

It smells weird, it's a super long process about 3-5 minutse to wash it off. If you don't put lotion on right after drying your face gets really dry.

I suggest you drink alot of water before trying this product, It's an amazing product and I totally love it.

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.
