Pros:

Dries up pooped pimples, helps with inflammation. No dramatic results but can be a good spot treatment.

Cons:

Stinky, but it's sulfur so it comes with the territory. Might be irritating to those who have a problem with essential oils

Good spot treatment more than anything ele. It takes me 6 months to go through a tub. So decent value for the money.

Murad cleared absolutely NONE of my pimples and I broke out even more! Salicylic acid has never worked for me, but I never thought it'd ever make things worse. And I'd believe the whole purging process explanation had Murad actually cleared up some of my old acne while "purging" the rest of my face by bringing up new acne. But it didn't get rid of anything. Benzoyl peroxide is the only over-the-counter stuff that has ever worked for me.

Pros:

Leaves skin feeling soft and healthy. Reduces redness. Can use as an overnight mask or just as spot treatment. Will not dry skin.

Cons:

Doesnt do much for really irritated areas, like pimples that have been popped already. Not as strongly medicated as other brands (could be a good thing or bad thing)

I would purchase this product over the entire 3 step program because it has the healing effect of all three with half the effort and a fraction of the price. Dont use everyday or WILL dry the skin. Worth the money!

Pros:

Works great and fast!

Cons:

It's hard to find - had to order online.

If you want a quick solution, get this! It started clearing me up in a couple days! I'm getting rid of all the Neutrogena and Biore stuff as Grandpa's blows all them out of the water.

Pros:

Really Works!!

Cons:

Nothing

I have tried Proactive and Serious Skin Care. I bought this product as a last resort and I am glad that I did. I agree with some of the reviews that it is expensive but there's a price to pay if you want clear skin. I have been using this product for 8 weeks. Yes, the product did make my skin worse as stated in the brochure but a few weeks later my skin was actually clearer. I don't feel the nasty bumps under my skin anymore. It feels smooth and healthy. I am 38 years old and have been battling acne ever since I turned 25. I never had a zit until I hit my mid-twenties. I am so grateful for this product. I don't care how much is costs ... it works and I will continue to use 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.
