Most effective acne solution!!!
By J. Yang
I have suffered from adult acne since I was 21 and tried so many products, including prescriptions ones, that I have lost track. The only reason I bought this was because it was on sale at Target for 16.99 and I thought what the heck. My expectations were beyond low. To my surprise, by the next day, my blemishes have either cleared or the inflammations went way down. After a week, my skin was almost flawless. Needless to say, when I went on my trip to Asia, I bought it with me. I shared it with two of my cousins who were both suffering from severe adult acne. Two days later, both of them came back to me with amazing results. I would recommend this to anybody. I would however suggest that additional moisturizer is needed afterwards.

Works so fast!
By D. Wahn
I have been using this product for two weeks now, and I am amazed already at the improvement in my skin. I am 25, and only this year have started having terrible breakouts with whiteheads, blackheads, and milia centered mostly on my cheeks right below my cheekbones. The hyperpigmentation (red marks that stay long after a blemish is gone) has been terrible! After just two weeks with this product already I am getting far less red, inflamed breakouts, and the hyperpigmentation from the previous blemishes has faded dramatically! My whole face feels much smooother and is starting to look even-toned again. The smell is kind of funky, and I find the moisturizer to be a bit greasy for my tastes, but as you put it on at night, these are not deal-breakers, you just go to sleep and forget about it, wash it off in the morning. Bottom line is, after all the peels and “intensive” products I’ve tried, this one works the absolute best, giving me fast, dramatic results.

Amazing
By Lilypad200
I am in my mid twenties and have had acne for years. Have used a million things in the hopes of clearing up my face, including Proactive and prescription drugs, with little to no results. My Mom bought this for me on a whim. I tried it with absolutely no expectations whatsoever, thinking it was going to be like all the rest, lots of hype and no results. I did the peel at night, the next morning I woke up and I noticed some of the redness was gone, and the acne was significantly minimized. I was completely floored, after putting on the peel three times in one week I saw results I have never even seen with prescriptions.

Fantastic device – pick your Kindle!
By Amazonoholic
Having been a little overwhelmed by the choices between all the new Kindles and which one to get, I ordered this new basic $79 Kindle first to take for a spin. So far, I like what I see. I also own a Kindle 3 so that’s the only device I can really compare it to at this time (I think a comparison between other tablets and this Kindle is meaningless, this device is all about content and delivery):

Stress and Health

Paige Anderson — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 12:58:30 +0000

They call it karoshi in Japan: death by overwork. But even in Japan, most people don’t rather die from working too much – they just get sick and suffer. And suffering, year after year, may be a prescription for career disaster…

We get stressed when we work too much or under bad circumstances, and it’s not news to any person that such stress may make us sick. But there’s a wrinkle that flies beneath the radar in the stress and health discussion: Not only may an excessively stressful career make us sick, but once we get sick, our lower energy levels affect the quality and amount of the work we may do, and sooner or later, our impaired performance may in turn destruct our careers.

Excess stress on a each day basis is something that’s unluckily very mutual for a large total of people. And for all too many, it has already resulted in an potpourri of health problems, ranging from the plainly annoying, embarrassing, and somewhat painful, such as cold sores, acne, neck pain, headaches, and hair loss, all the way to obesity, heart attacks, and even death.

Sometimes things may get so bad, that karoshi may seem like a merciful way out. But let’s focus on the kinds of health aftermaths that result from stress that doesn’t rather kill you and on the affect they may have on your career in turn. If the stress is ongoing, and it ordinarily is, you may well end up suffering for years, alive but not so well.

We recognise that when the body experiences stress, it releases adrenalin and cortisol as percentage of our primitive fight-or-flight response. These essential hormones help increase the oxygen level in the blood and boost the sugar in the blood – preparing us to either flee or fight.

That reaction may have been utile in an era where fighting or fleeing would have been considered reasonable options. But if your boss is yelling at you, neither bonking him on the kisser nor running away screaming qualifies as suitable behavior. Instead, there you are, a sitting duck, flooded with stress hormones that have no place to go and serve no aim except wreak mayhem on your well-being.

What havoc? For example, the immune scheme is suppressed or damaged, which compromises your body’s capacity to protest infection. So you’re the firstborn to catch the office cold and the last to recover from it. And then there are a number of chronic health conditions are either caused or made worse by stress, including high blood pressure, high blood sugar, migraine headaches, and heart disease. Some exploration proposes that stress may even cause cancer – or push the body over that critical hurdle where our immune system is just no longer strong sufficient to fight it off.

There are likewise somewhat less apparent conditions, less apparent at least to the outside observer: depression, fibromyalgia, insomnia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and adrenal burnout.

They all have in mutual that they’ll sap your energy and make it very difficult to get much work done. Come performance review, you’ll have a good deal of explaining to do. And if anything, that’ll make your stress-levels even worse.

Can you see where this is heading? Stress may hurt your body, but it will likewise injure your career if you don’t manage to get on top of it. Ratcheting down your stress levels has got to be a top priority, because it may not only cost you your health but your occupation as well. And then, what will you do for health insurance?

Proactiv Solution 3 Step System Kit 2 Month

Jace Williamson — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 21:03:29 +0000

There are galore acne treatment productions you may find exclusively on the internet. This review will focus on two ordinary acne merchandise that are sold on the internet, Proactiv solution and Exposed acne solution. Which product provides you with better value and more importantly, better looking skin?

When comparing two productions it’s indispensable to look at a merchandise value. Is it worth the price you remunerate for it and are you getting what you pay for? Both productions in this review are priced around $60 for the greatest acne starter set. Exposed’s larger kit comes with 6 productions and Proactiv comes with 5. If you looked at the scheme based on all that you receive for the cash it would seem like Exposed gives you a little more. But, is Exposed’s acne system worth $60.00?

Second, we may valuate a product based on treatment regimen. Both merchandise in this review use a proprietary formulation for getting rid of acne and preventing new acne from returning. The initial step is washing the face, toning it and then using a oil free moisturizer. Both companies suggest the use of a great deal of further and added merchandise to go along with the three step process, however, each day cleansing with each of the skin care merchandise are advised.

Next we look at the type of ingredients to genuinely see if there is a divergence amidst the two products. This is where Proactiv and Exposed Acne start out to percentage ways. Proactiv holds typical ingredients that could be found in mutual over the counter products. Benzoyl peroxide is the main active ingredient in Proactiv solution. It is normally used in acne merchandise for it’s capacity to kill bacteria and efficaciously treat acne.

Proactiv Solution does integrate more benzoyl peroxide (2.5%) than you may specifically find in the stores and they may assert that it’s the way it’s formulated that enables Proactiv to work so with great success versus frequent acne outbreaks, however, this type of medication may not be suitable for all skin types. Those that have sensible skin might find their skin more arid and irritated after using a product such as this. The Exposed treatment does comprise a special kind of benzoyl peroxide in the morning serum that they assert won’t arid your skin out.

Proactiv, on the other hand, requires you to use benzoyl peroxide on your skin two steps out of three. Furthermore, there is no other product in the Proactiv line of productions that allows you to treat acne internally. Exposed acne care offers a probiotic internal supplement that isn’t included in their main kit, but may be purchased separately that will attack acne from the inside out.

Finally, you must always check out what type of a guarantee a company will give you when attempting a new product. Because everyone’s acne is different, not all the merchandise you try will work for you. Proactive gives you 60 days to undertake the product and get your cash back if you are dissatisfied. This might sound good, but it specifically takes that long or longer to determine if a product is working or not. On the other hand, Exposed offers a full 1 year cash back guarantee which gives you a great deal of time to see if the product is genuinely working. There are likewise other incentives Exposed offers such as free bonus gifts and credits on your next buy that make it a product that’s at least worth checking out.

Overall, while Proactiv has had a good deal of endorsements by celebrities and has become widely known it would appear that Exposed’s acne solution offers their customer’s a better value, a better guarantee and ingredients that are beneficial for all skin types. When it comes down to dissimilar types of merchandise to treat acne, ultimately the choice is yours.

Proactiv Solution 3 Step System Kit 2 Month

Works for me, but is kind of like flipping a coin between Clear Skin or Not
By S. Coleman
Though Proactiv Solution works pretty well for me, I have never seen a product vary so drastically from one user to another. I started getting terrible acne in the 9th grade, and it had a major effect on my confidence. People would stare at my zits–and not into my eyes–whenever we were having a conversation, and my 10th grade history teacher even held me back at the end of class specifically to recommend a skin care product that she had ordered from Avon. If that were not embarrassing enough, my acne reached a peak during my senior year of high school–the primetime of every young woman’s life. Every inch of my cheeks was covered in bright red, pus-filled pimples. It was so terrible that some people looked disgusted to even stand near me, and I had to wear a TON of concealer for my senior photos–which only exacerbated the problem as soon as picture day was over. After my high school graduation, I started spending a lot of time out at the pool, and (despite what the experts say), the sun drastically improved my skin. My face turned really red one day when I forgot the sunblock, and the next day, all of the zits were gone. However, when the summer ended and I went to college in the fall, the zits came back. It was then that I decided that I need something stronger than an over-the-counter medicine to deal with my skin. After watching a commercial for Proactiv Solution, I ordered it over the phone on a whim. The first few weeks didn’t give me any results, but after a about a month, the product worked to its full potential. I have been using it for almost two years now, and I am very happy with my decision to purchase it. Though it has not provided the magical results that are showcased in every commercial (I still get a couple of pimples every couple of weeks, my face is not the horrible red mask that it once was. Unlike some reviewers reported, the product does not dry my face out at all, and I haven’t experienced any redness. The most redeeming product of the entire system is the toner. Though it does not smell very potent, it succeeded in removing from my hands and forearms a botched application of self-tanning lotion that almost a week of constant scrubbing did nothing to help. For me, this is very good stuff. Unfortunately, as I stated, this product varies so widely from customer to customer that it is hard to determine the effectiveness of its use. In my circle of friends, three girls (myself included) are using Proactiv. My skin reacted very nicely to the product, but the other two weren’t as lucky. One of the girls had mild acne and experienced no change in her condition. Another girl had moderate acne and experienced such severe burning and redness of the skin that she discontinued usage and even voluntary went through the seven levels of Hell (also known as Proactiv Service) to get a refund.

Overall, here are my basic recommendations for those considering using Proactiv:

1.) Since results vary so widely between each user, buy the smallest amount of the product that is available. That way, if it does not match your particular needs, you are not out an arm and a leg on something totally useless

2.) Beware of the freebies/extras. The basic three step Proactiv system and the Daily Oil Control lotion work wonders (compared to the “before” situation), but the other items in the Proactiv line were actually pretty damaging. As a “free gift”, I received a tube of the Refining Mask. I applied it according to the directions, but approximately twenty minutes after I removed it, my face was covered in large red, itchy blotches. I immediately threw the tube in the garbage, and by the time I resumed using my regular system the next day, the spots were gone. So, if you get extras in the mail, proceed with caution.

3.) DO NOT, under any circumstances, tell the representative that you want a free month’s supply VitaClear Vitamins with your purchase. First of all, the vitamins are disgusting. VitaClear comes in a box with thirty individually wrapped packets of 5 vitamins. After taking that first packet of five vitamins one morning, I had to make a run to the restroom to vomit. The next day, I had didn’t throw up, but I did a second time after using the vitamins a few days later. Though I followed the direction to eat before usage, no matter how much or how little I ate, I would puke at least twice a week. If this is not enough, as soon as you agree to accept a free order, you (unknowingly) sign yourself up to receive auto-shipments of Vitaclear every two months–which means that your credit card will automatically be charged $29.99 every six or weeks. I have no idea how to cancel an account with VitaClear (which is sold by a different company than Proactiv). The only reason I stopped receiving shipments was because I changed addresses and my credit card just happened to expire that same month. So, if you like swallowing five vitamins each day that will make you puke, feel free to sign up for auto shipments of a product that is impossible to cancel.

4.) As I mentioned previously, Service is Hell (according to the people I know who have tried to cancel). If you want to cancel your account, you have to locate the customer service number from the website or from your previous bill. Proactiv does not allow easy online cancellations or (to my knowledge) mail-in requests to cancel. Then, when you call a representative and mention that you want to cancel your account, you are mysteriously put on hold for an indefinite amount of time–though they jump at the chance to talk to you if you are willing to order Proactiv. If you are not put on hold, the reps will talk in circles and try to convince you to order more products. One of my friends who successfully canceled her account recommended setting up a web count on the Proactiv site, going to the help feature, and then emailing a representative with the question “How do I cancel my account?” A rep contacted her by email a few days later, asked for her account number, and subsequently canceled the account. I recommend following this procedure or continue to receive the automatic shipments each month.
Overall, this product worked for me, but it will not work for everyone. It is kind of like spinning the Wheel of Fortune or flipping a coin…only this time, instead of head and tails, the sides are “Clear Skin” and “Not”.

Buy on Amazon!! Avoid Proactiv.com site at all costs!!!
By Larry Johnston
Hello,

What ever you do, do NOT buy this from the Proactiv web site. They will force you into a auto delivery system that is next to impossible to escape. All the bad things you hear about their customer service is a 100% FACTUAL!!!! However, the products are very good for mild to moderate acne, but some folks do not see the results they had hoped to acheive after all the hype. Your best bet is to purchase the products from a seller here on Amazon at a considerable discount. While you will not get the 60 day gaurantee, you will not be locked into a nightmare dealing with Proactiv attempting to escape the endless automatic purchases they will continue to send you. These products are VERY EFFECTIVE for MOST individuals, but NOT all. I hope this clears things up a bit.

Poor Service
By Ali Loewenstein
I am 28 and had a few blemishes, so I decided to try proactiv. Now my skin is a mess! It seemed like it would work, so I stuck with it for a month, and then I got another box in the mail of more product. Be wary, it is not obvious that once you buy the initial kit you will automatically be signed up to receive proactive and be charged continuously. Perhaps proactiv works for some, but since it was having reverse effects for me I called to return the additional box of product that they sent me. Though I still had 2 weeks left to return proactiv for a refund, the customer service representative said that they take 4-6 weeks to process returns, and so it would not be enough time to get my return order refund! Not only do I now have to pay for shipping and handling which is estimated to be around $10 but additionally for a certificate of delivery so I can prove I sent the product in on time. How frustrating. My last rant is that once the customer service woman heard I wanted to return the product, she tried to get off the phone very fast, and I had to keep asking her not to hang up, since she was VERY short and not forward about how to go about handling the return (ie. address, filling out the return slip etc). I would normally not write any review even if the product didn’t work for me, but the customer service i received put me over the edge.

I was skeptical, but it works!
By Curly Girl
I really didn’t think this thing was going to work…but when you have acne most of your life you will try anything at any cost. I have found that by using the Zeno in conjunction with Proactive Solution I have cleared my face significantly of acne. The Zeno product does take some time to use, as you have to hold it to the pimple for approx. two minutes. It causes redness on that area for about 10 minutes and is only mildly uncomfortable when you first put it on the pimple. After a day or two the acne is gone. It’s weird, but it works! I only gave it 4 stars because of the two minutes you have to hold it on your face, the redness, and the mild discomfort from the heat. Other than that, it’s quite easy to use and requires no clean up. You just have to charge it periodically and after 90 uses you have to replace the tip. Replacing it is so simple. You literally just pull the old one off and snap the new one on. This is a VERY simple device and it does the trick. It does not work very well at all on cystic ance, but for basic zits or pimples it takes care of them in a day or two.

Awesome replacement!

Item works great in conjuction with the Zeno. I love the Zeno, it has greatly reduced my blemishes better than any dermatologist prescribing medication to me could. The 90 tip may cost more but is a better value per tip. Easy to install.

The diet has had galore averse effects on the usual population, and acne is unquestionably one of them. But it is without apparent effort possible to get clear skin through diet and there are a lot of tips and tricks for achieving such an outcome.

Diet is swept under the rug as a possible cause, and heal for acne mainly because of the prevailing notions of innovative science. That is, drugs are the answer to everything, even even though the old adage “You are what you eat” remains as unfeigned as it ever was.

Some people have tried to protect versus the real, nature-intended way of diet through limitations and rules such as the Kosher diet and the ceaseless news reports that show us the gains of foods, but it still seems that drugs win out because they are sensed as being more “modern” and “advanced.”

Still, numerous people don’t see clear skin results until they change their diet through a series of switches that make for more nutrition of a specific sort to target the difficultnesses that are affecting them.

Acne may be caused by stress, which is another thing to keep in mind, but it is likewise caused by too much toxicity in the body, not sufficient fresh, clean water, lack of nutrients, and even a hormonal imbalance (caused by dairy, animals raised on genetically altered hormones [yuck!] and more) according to a heap of holistic acne treatment advocates.

The goal then ought to be to tackle the acne problem at it is origins and to cleanse the skin of impurities while remaining as stress free as possible. The diet and stress part genuinely coincide a lot of times because the right foods and drinks may even ease stress, such as chamomile tea as an example. These acne-free tips and tricks are concealed from the public eye because they are simple and easy to implement and would probably drasti affect the bottom line of acne drug companies.

Speaking of acne drugs, they may be effective but they ofttimes have lots of side effects. The side effects of altering your diet are a good deal of as well, but all of them are exceedingly positive! Here are three key basic diet tips to heal acne that will help combine to give you clear skin in the long run:

1. Pure water- Spring water is the best source other than well water from a clean area. Reverse osmosis is likewise a good choice. Distilled is a bit of a danger and must only be employed in moderation. It leeches nutrients and solid homogeneous inorgani substances from your body so it may support detox but at long last this will become a problem. The main point in this category notwithstanding is to stay away from unfiltered tap water as much as possible to keep impurities out of your skin.

2. Organic foods- They may seem like a distinguishing trait item, but they aren’t. Organic feed is feed the way nature intended. Less pesticides= more nourishment providing soil= more tools for your body to fight alien agents and to cleanse impurities from your system. Eat organic whenever possible and keep away from soft-skin fruits and vegetables like peppers and apples in pesticide-laced form.

These are just a few tips for achieving clear skin through diet as an acne cure, and there are numerous more tricks out there including special acne cleanses that the guys with imagination degrees on their wall most likely won’t tell you about.

Zeno Pro Acne Clearing Device With 90 Count 2

Zeno is an acne clearing device. It is a hand-held, portable electronic medical device that is clinically proven to make pimples decrease rapidly fast. In fact, for treating acne pimples, it’s the most scientifically modern and effective device available without a prescription. Zeno is for people with mild to moderate inflammatory acne.

Zeno is a hand-held battery-operated device designed with a tip that heats to a pre-set temperature. The biocompatible tip is designed for direct contact with a blemish on the skin. Once in contact with a blemish, the tip will transfer heat into the follicle. An internal PID controller chip continually modulates the temperature to a fixed range even under dissimilar skin and circulation conditions by adjusting the flow of energy to match precisely the heat absorption of the person user. Zeno’s microprocessor adapts not only to your person skin type but also to the heat absorption characteristics of the emplacement of the pimple. Your Zeno adapts to you! An integral digital timer controls the treatment time. The level of heat does not cause skin damage.

Specifically, Zeno stimulates a heat-shock response in p. acnes, the bacteria causing at least 90% of all acne blemishes. Heat shock proteins, activated by bacterial cells underneath heat stress, cause the self-destruction of p. acnes within the lesion, reducing inflammation and permitting the skin to return to a healthful state.

What is Zeno?

Zeno is a handheld, portable electronic medical device that is clinically proven to make pimples decrease rapidly fast. In fact, for treating acne pimples, it’s the most scientifically modern and effective device available without a prescription.

What does it do?

Zeno applies a incisively controlled heat dose directly to the pimple through a metal pad. One treatment lasts 2½ minutes. Two to three treatments disseminate over 24 hours clear up most pimples quickly. It’s that simple.

How does it work?

Pimples occur when excess skin oil and flaking skin plug the opening of a hair follicle and give rise to the idealisti environs for acne bacteria to grow. Precisely controlled heat applied for a specific amount of time of time causes the bacteria to self-destruct. When the bacteria die, the pimple goes away.

How galore treatments does it take?

Two to three 2½-minute treatments disseminate over 24 hours are sufficient for most pimples. Often, only one treatment is needed.

Who ought to use Zeno?

Zeno is for persons with mild to moderate inflammatory acne. If in doubt, ask your doctor.

When will have to Zeno be used?

Zeno may clear up a pimple in just hours. Most other medications may take days or even weeks to work. What’s more, other than slight, temporary skin redness, Zeno has none of the side effects described by most topical or oral medications.

Is Zeno safe and painless?

Patients included in our clinical tryouts experienced little reaction to the low-level heat. Other than a good deal of temporary skin redness following a treatment cycle, no other averse side effects were reported. But must you experience any uneasiness when using Zeno, discontinue use and consult your skin care professional.

Is Zeno all I need for acne?

Zeno does not replace good skin hygiene or a doctor’s care. It is designed to treat mild to moderate inflammatory acne. Your doctor may commend other therapies, depending on the severity of your acne. Follow your doctor’s counsel and use Zeno for the occasional pimple.

Do your homework–it really works!
By Sunshine Mom
I have extensive experience in the medical field and have owned the Zeno Product for quite some time. After reading the reviews, I can no longer remain silent. This is a wonderful product that has NEVER claimed to be a substitute for good hygiene. It is a very effective product for when good hygiene fails (and, thanks to Mother Nature’s ways, good hygiene will inevitably fail no matter what skin care regimen you have). I have never had a pimple that Zeno did not work on (including my hormonal and cystic acne). And, I did my “homework” before buying this product, as I would also encourage you to do. It was very clear to me from the beginning what types of acne Zeno may not work on (it is CLEARLY specified in the owners manual that is published on the Zeno Website). I would personally rather conduct a 2.5 minute treatment on a blemish THAT I KNOW WORKS QUICKLY (immediately to 24 hours) than try some topical that contains the usual Benzoyl Peroxide, which irritates and dries out my skin and doesn’t get rid of the blemish. I keep a Zeno in my car (as well as in my purse–I actually own 2) and have found it very convenient to use, no matter what time of day a pimple arrives (I usually see an immediate, noticeable decrease in the size of the pimple). It is very easy to use too. After hitting the power button and the unit is ready, the timer button light will go from amber to green. You then hit the green timer button to start your 2.5 minute treatment. It’s really cool…once you hit the green timer button, it beeps every 30 seconds to let you know it is working on your pimple. At the end of the treatment, there are a series of beeps, so there is no way to confuse that the treatment is over. The Zeno gets a little warm, but it actually feels good. It doesn’t get too hot and it is very safe. If you go the beauty salon, paraffin wax is much hotter. Occasionally, it leaves a red mark after use, but the red mark fades quickly (less than an hour at most)–I have found this time to decrease to less than 5 minutes as my skin has now acclimated to the Zeno. Again, the most important thing that I can stress is that I have found it to completely get rid of pimples quickly (immediately-24 hours) if you use it when you first see or feel the pimple form. Sometimes, a bigger pimple may take a few more treatments, so you just have to learn what works best for you. I actually have thrown all my topical treatments away (again topicals just dry out the pimple, but the Zeno actually kills the bacteria that formed the pimple before it damages the skin–thus, the pimple is gone in significantly less time). All I need now is good hygiene and my Zeno. It is definitely worth the time and money. I highly recommend this amazing product!

It actually works!!
By Book Lover
Okay, I’ll admit I was very very skeptical…. but it works…..It really does! I am 33 years old and have moderate acne that is very difficult to treat. For about the past year or so, I had been using 2.5% Benzoyl peroxide twice a day, every day. For the first few months, the BP treatments cleared my skin quite dramatically but then I more or less became “immune” to its effects and lately it hadn’t been working quite as well, not to mention the fact that I was very weary of rubbing something like that into my skin twice a day for the rest of my life! Ok, so I was ready to try something new and something that I felt like would be safe with minimal side-effects and that is when I started doing research on what is new out there in acne treatment and I ran across all the rave reviews on the Zeno. I thought about it for a while and then decided to take the plunge since it has a 30-day money back guarantee (what did I have to lose?) I was fully expecting to be sending it back after two weeks! Well, to my utter amazement, the thing actually works! You will notice immediate reduction in swelling of the pimple after the first treatment and then over the next two treatments it will continue to disappear and usually by the next day sometimes two days, it is gone!
And something you might want to know if you haven’t decided to buy Zeno yet, is when we Zeno owners say that your acne bump disappears by the 2nd day… you guys out there that haven’t bought it yet are thinking “but I don’t want to walk around for two days with a zit”, but what you need to understand is that it is not like having a regular acne lesion/bump because you started treating it while it was still just that tender lump under your skin, so by the next day you only have a mildly tender almost non-existent lump under your skin, not some half-erupted red zit for everyone to see! Think about that for a nice change!

Worked for me
By Amazon Buyer
Yes, it’s basically a recharable battery and a heating element. Yes, it is expensive. [..].

I really wanted to rip on this thing and call it junk, but I have to admit IT WORKED. I’ve tried it about 5 times and it’s helped tremendously. On a couple of occasions, it actually did work overnight! Amazing.

So I’ll gladly put up with the price tag because ultimately my social life is worth it. Plus, it’s cheaper than going to the dermotologist (who in my experience, really can’t do a damn thing.) For people who have tried all the other lotions and pills and gimmicks, it’s worth a try.

It Works!
By A
I bought this product for my 18 year old son after my husband had success with the Loma Lux for eczema. My son took it for 2 months and although his acne has not totally disappeared, the results were pretty dramatic. I felt good about the fact that this is totally safe and natural with no side effects like you might have with the prescription acne medication. I can’t say for sure that it will work for everyone but if you have a teenager with an acne problem you should give a try. Be aware though that it doesn’t work overnight, we began to see results in my son’s compexion about 3 weeks after he began using it. You have to be patient and you have to remember to take it every day.

Product didn’t work for me
By Mike C.
I have been suffering from acne since I was twelve. I used many products and thought that I should give this a try.

1st Month:

I didn’t see any changes taking two pills a day.

2nd Month:

Increased to three times a day (two in the morning and one at night). Nothing has changed.

3rd and 4th Month:

Continued using it 3x a day but it seems that it had no effect. (New pimples and Acne keeps popping out)

5th Month:

Decided to discontinue.

Note that I did continued using products with Salicylic Acid/Tea Tree Oil/Benzoyl Peroxide to cleanse my face.

Finally, something that works
By G. Theis
I am 22 years old and have struggled with acne since I was 16. I have tried just about every cream and 3-Step treatment available, but most just make me break out worse. I started taking AcnePill about a week and a half ago and I can already see the results, it really is amazing. I can’t wait to see how my skin looks after a few more weeks. I weigh about 130 lbs, and I take 2 pills in the morning and 1 around dinner time as a booster even though the box recommends 2 pills every 24 hours for my weight group. It would be nice if it were a little bit cheaper, but I’m not complaining.
