I bought this for my husband to use for painful acne he gets on the back of his scalp. He's 42 and gets acne mostly only on the back of his head right around his hairline. He's been putting the 25% strength on a qtip and applying it to the blemishes (right through the hair and onto the pimple). They come to a head after a couple of days, and then he pops them and they heal.

Advantages: Acne that would remain large and painful for 7-10 days only lasts 2-3 days after applying this directly to the pimple.

We're only using enough to saturate the tip of a cotton swab, but it looks like this little bottle is going to last us a month or more. What a bargain!

Disadvantages: None

Within only two days of using this product, a huge cyst I had for weeks with no sign of budging, came to a head and disappeared. Since then, I've watched my skin clear before my eyes. I was nervous from other reviews that my skin would get worse before it got better, but that was definitely not the case. My oily, acne-prone skin is now silky smooth and dry all day. I've tried hundreds of products and this is the only one that has actually worked. $25 is a very small price to pay for clear skin! This has replaced my other cleansers and topicals completely and I'll never go back.

Advantages: Gets rid of even the toughest acne - cysts and papules, easy to use, and cheap.

Disadvantages: Nothing.

I have only used this product for a couple of weeks, and I am really enjoying how my skin feels.

Advantages: My skin feels clean and soft.

Disadvantages: I associate "suds" with soap, and there is a lot of sudsing while using this soap. I have not used long enough to know if this is going to be too drying.

Works for a wide range of skin types and conditions. Great for pore treatments (blackheads pore reduction), acne facials, oily skin peels.

This soap has already made a difference in my skin after only using for a few days. Skin seems more comfortable after washing less red and dry.

Advantages: Balancing

Good product to help smooth face

Advantages: Smooths skin

Disadvantages: Use with care

This product is perfect for oily acne prone skin. I found it to be too drying but my teenage son used it and loved the results.

Advantages: Dry up oily skin and heal acne breakouts.

Disadvantages: Can be extremely drying. Has an odd consistency almost grainy. I used it only at night because it did not provide a good pallet for make-up application.

I am a 25 year old female. I never had an acne problem until I was out of college. (about 22). One day I noticed a lymph nod just below my jaw was swollen and the nest day my whole chin and cheek area was in pain with multiple clusters on cystic acne. I could not understand why it was so bad. I eat very healthy. I would make sure to decease stress. Wash twice a day but they would continue and it was a very embarrassing thing to live with. Its on your face! I am very careful about the ingredients I use when I try a face system. This program has so far been really wonderful. I have been on it now for about 6 months. I have to stick to the routine and sometime hormones come into play and I will breakout. But they are nothing like they were.

Advantages: Seems to really be working! No more pain, embarrassment, hassle of trying to cover the up the acne. I look forward to trying the Glycolic Acid Peels and see what I can do about my scaring. I will give the acne treatment another 6 months before I change it to much.

Disadvantages: My face tends to feel dry after washing and using the hydroponic acid is not enough moisturizer. I will use another moisturized in addition at night and a primer during the day before I put on make up.
