Cons:

Doesn't work, i've used it for 3 weeks and have see if any to no results. i don't think it works at all, people always say give it time give it time. well i would think by third week it would have been better or i have seen results but i haven't.

Doesn't work.

Pros:

cleanser is great and will last for a while. Buy the set, it will save you money.

Cons:

- spot treatment is VERY stingy, and may dry out the skin around the acne.
- purging process really tests your patience! I was horrified after the 1-2nd week of usage..pimple mayhem.

I'm really glad i stuck it out and kept using it for a few more weeks after my crazy breakout (crazy because I have never broke out like this in my life). Started getting a lot of tiny acne on my forehead (which NEVER happens), but its clearing up now. It seems to dry out, harden, or push the dirt in your pores up to the surface. I started noticing my blackheads crusting and it was so easy to just pick away the entire blackhead out. My pores are definitely cleaner. I use it with Clarisonic, and it seems to be working really well. I feel like the longer you use it the better the results. I still have quite a few pimples around my cheek and forehead, and some of them are red bumps that take much longer to heal (and are actually painful-feels like a swollen bruise on your face) and seem to scar/turn into a sizable brown blemish when they do. The difference in skin is most noticeable when I wake up in the morning-all the acne and redness has been reduced.

Pros:

I have no Pros. First time I used the product, the third step, I wiped my hands in a green towel, left the bathroom, when I came back the product bleached the towel. So I discontinue using it. If it bleaches the towel then what is it doing to my face

Cons:

And I have no cons, but sometimes I use the mask overnite, and thats the only product in the kit that works for me.

Some acne kits are not for everyone. I even tried Murad acne treatment, and saw no results. But the product burns liikkeee hhheeellll. Oh my gosh, it hurts. So I had to stop that too. With my kind of skin, my best result was at a dermatologist office. So find wats best for U

Pros:

I started using it about a year ago i was always worried about my acne but now i hardly ever breakout.

Cons:

I cant use the lotion my skin is very sensitive to it.

I would recomened this to anyone that worrys about there acne. I got the 6.75 oz bottle of cleanser that has lasted me almost a year now and i wash my face at least once a day but sometimes 2 or 3. Its totally worth the price if you use the right amount. I dont think i'll go back to any other cleanser.

Pros:

works good maybe not the best thing but i would still recommend it

Cons:

depending on your skin it will work perfectly fine.

Product used: KAVI (Coral KAVI)

Pros:

Remarkably effective

Cons:

none that I can think of.

After trying the soap alone, I switched to the anti-acne system which also comes with a toner, moisturizer, salicylic acid peel, and sunblock. I really couldn't be happier. Had I known about KAVI 8 years ago, I would have gladly paid them $100 per bar to get those years back. If you have moderate to severe acne, you need to look into 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.
