I have been suffering from one of the most perplexing, persistent cases of acne since I turned 18 (an odd age to begin, in my opinion...). Ten years on, it's STILL a battle. Everyone who has this disorder just KNOWS. Sometimes I feel like a leper. So I just covered it with lots of creamy makeup. I looked fine in the daytime...until I came home and removed it, and realized it was worse. The oh-so-holy ProActive was no match for my angry skin.
So I tried this, seeing the title of "Severe." Yes, finally, a difference! I LOVE the cleanser (it feels great on my often-painful skin, and even has very gentle abrasion to help get that dirt and oil off), LOVE the toner (SO soothing, and yet effective) and LOVE the nighttime retinol complex (again, feels great). The daytime 10% BP repair lotion, however, I am not a fan of. It does NOTHING during the day but dry my skin...without clearing anything up. So I searched for something to replace it.
The 2nd tool: I came across a site called ACNE DOT ORG, and my life was changed. It's a site started by one obsessive acne sufferer who tried something weird. He completely blasted his face with 2.5% benzoyl peroxide, and got amazing results. I tried this, adding LOTS of 2.5% BP (Neutrogena)on top of the retinol complex at night. I also replaced the 10% BP daytime lotion with acne-friendly Olay lotion and some more 2.5% BP.
The 3rd tool: Switching from cream makeup to mineral makeup.
The result: My skin is looking sexy and smooth!! I still have occasional flare-ups and some marks, as I will probably always have acne. But I now have pretty, matte skin much more than ugly skin! I am ELATED!!
Hopefully this info works for you! And check out that site if you're curious! :-)Get more detail about AcneFree Severe Acne Treatment System.
