Book Reviews of The Acne Cure
Book Review: Very pleased
Summary: 5 Stars
Book was in good shape. So far the treatment seems to be working, but it may be too early to tell. Lot's of good helpful information. My teenager is reading the book herself and applying the treatment, however I had to get one of the ingredients from a local compounding pharmacy with a prescription.Book Review: Zits B Gone
Summary: 5 Stars
I am 52 year old female and have suffered from pimples and acne since I was 17. I have always had ridiculously oily skin to boot. I have tried drugstore cleansers, dept. store cleansers, Proactive, Murad and Rx items. Last year I spent over $4000 getting a series of micro peels, micro dermabrasion and levulan treatments at a respected dermatologist's office. This past January I developed huge cystic acne over my entire forehead from the bridge of my nose upward - even in my eyebrows, which I attribute to perimenopause and changing hormones. It was horrible, all I can say is thank God for bangs. It was depressing, I wanted to hide. Nothing worked, not even my faithful Zeno Zit Zapper put a dent in these things. I found "The Acne Cure" on Amazon and ordered it in early April, after reading the reviews and how it had helped many others. Two months after starting my new routine, my acne is gone and I barely get a pimple anymore. There are still a few blackheads here and there, but even they are diminished and not seen unless magnified. My skin is so clear I am not afraid to go out without makeup!
I already had several salicylic acid washes on hand, so I ordered 10% Glycolic Cleanser ($26.95/9oz) and 5% Benzoyl Peroxide lotion ($17.95/2 oz) from platinumskincare.com. I washed my face twice a day using the Neutrogena oil free acne wash for 2 minutes, rinsing, then using the glycolic cleanser for 2 minutes. I also used a cotton ball and toner, before my skin was totally dry, to help wipe off dead skin. I also put on the benzoyl peroxide lotion on after chilling my skin before bedtime only. I noticed some improvement after 2 days. After about 6 weeks I seemed to develop little whiteheads, so I cut back on the routine, using a non acid based skin wash in the morning, but keeping the 2 cleanser routine at night. Little whiteheads were gone in 2 days, never to return. I only use the benzoyl peroxide as a spot treatment, as needed now, as well.
Not only is my skin clear, I still occasionally get a pimple or 2, but they are small and go away quickly, but my skin is not oily anymore either! Another plus is that I had a couple of long time companions on my face that looked like little warts almost. One on the side of my nose and a couple in the middle of my forehead. They had been there for over 15 years. First the ones on my forehead peeled off, layer by layer and 2 weeks ago, the one on the side of my nose did the same thing. There's a little discoloration mark there, but it is flat, no scarring involved for either of these areas. Also with this routine, I notice a softening of the acne scars I have had for years so I assume it will only improve more over time.
How I wish I had had this information years ago, but I am thankful I finally found "The Acne Cure". Thank you Dr Dubrow and Brenda Adderly for putting out such great and simple information that really works!
