Customer Reviews:
Summary: Definitely worth the read & try
Content: Good book for learning about acne and a logical plan for "curing" it.



I'm at the mid-way point of the 6 week plan, and overall, have seen great improvement, though, not a cure yet. As a 34 year old woman, I'm gearing up to deal with wrinkles, and combatting the acne I've had since the aget of 15 is just getting exhausting and ridiculous. I appreciate the upfront education on skin care and acne--after asking several dermatologists about the bumps under my skin and gettting no answers, it's refreshing to have this addressed in this book. I applaud Mr. Dubrow's rather rare decision not to create his own skin care line to promote with the book. All products were easy to find in a mid-sized city.



At the end of week three, I've experienced great improvement in my skin's clarity and glow. I am still experiencing a few break-outs, but they clear up quite quickly. When I started the program, I was sure that I'd experience terrible dryness as the combinations of all of these chemicals seemed that it would be harsh on the skin. But to my surprise, I've been amazed to find that I can actually wear a solution of Benzyol Perioxide to bed with no moisturizer and my skin looks good in the morning after my Salicylic Acid treatment. I must admit that I skip the Glycolic Acid if my skin feels tight, but I find my skin is adjusting to this. Be sure to buy quality sunscreen and wear it, as you will notice your skin is smoother, but also thinner. One tip: I found that the program seems to work better if I am generous with the amount of each chemical I use and mix it well with an equal amount of water to apply it like a medium thick masque. My working theory is the water helps to carry the chemicals into the skin (I dry my face after rinsing between products). Don't be stingy, if you are going to try this, do it right, so you know if it will work for you. My products:



AM:

Neutrogena Rapid Clear(tm) Acne Defense Face Lotion 2% Salicylic Acid

Peter Thomas Roth 10% Glycolic Acid Clarifying Gel

(my personal wrinkle-prevention hydrating regime: Skinceuticals Feric C+E serum, B5 gel, and moisturizer; followed with Obagi sunscreen 35 SPF)



PM:

Neutrogena Rapid Clear(tm) Acne Defense Face Lotion 2% Salicylic Acid

Zapzyt 10% Benzyol Perioxide Gel + ice

Leave on BP Gel overnight



One other note: be sure to use a good eye moisturizer as this skin is the thinnest, and I've found that, although I avoid my eye area, I need to be quite viligent not to end up with a dry, puffy eye area. I have hopes that another 3-4 weeks on the program may actually clear up the bumps under my skin and my acne. I'm seeing enough progress to be optimistic.



Lost one star due to the book's instructions, which are not well organized. I thank the other poster who spelled out the AM & PM routine here on Amazon. If Mr. Dubrow re-issues this book, I hope he clarifies his plan and does some randomized studies to bring more validity to the science behind his assertions.



Good luck!
