Verdict: does SkinMedica Acne Treatment Lotion work?

Overall this product seems to work well to combat acne. There are a few things that you should beware of when it comes to this Acne Treatment Lotion.

The 3 pieces work together to fight acne in every aspect of facial care. This is the best way to rid the skin of acne topically. All of the products work together and support one another in a common goal.

Verdict: does SkinMedica Acne System work?

There are so many acne fighting kits on the market. I think this particular one is a good one and can help you in your acne fighting needs, but I don’t really think that this system is the very best one you can get.

This gel is quite intense when it comes to ingredient placement and concentration and is said to work for all ages and skin types. By using this gel the md formulations team promises to help you beat acne at the source so you can show your face with confidence no matter how acne prone your skin can be.

How does md formulations Glycare Acne Gel?

As mentioned above this acne gel can be used to fight your acne needs  in 3 ways

• as a daily acne fighting treatment– which you would apply to your face daily (and prior to your moisturizer) to help reduce and minimize the effects of acne.

• as preventitive care– you would use this on your skin to keep acne at bay either as an everyday treatment or right before your usual times of breakout (ex: before hormonal breakouts for woman or after shaving breakouts for men)

Ingredients in md formulations Glycare Acne Gel?

The ingredient list of this product includes salicylic acid as well as glycolic acid.

Salicylic Acid- this ingredient is well known when it comes to fighting acne. It does an amazing job of sloughing off dead skin cells that have been trapped on the skin by excess sebum (aka: skin oil). It is able to clear debris out of pores and is able to kill bacteria found on the skin. It is also great at increasing the cellular turnover rate, which brings healthier and younger cells to the surface of the skin, replacing dull skin cells.

Glycolic Acid- is usually found in anti-aging products but does have some great acne benefits along with anti-aging benefits. It is known to removes dead cells that are built up on the skin, scrub and clean blocked and clogged pores, even out the skin tone and texture, increases collagen and elastin making properties in the skin and  is also a great antioxidant for the skin which helpt to keep the skin healthy and beautiful.

Verdict: does md formulations Glycare Acne Gel work?

This md formulations acne treatment isn’t as popular as their other acne fighters, I think it is because it doesn’t give you any moisturizing or other skin care benefits other then working as an acne treatment. If you are looking for a sole acne treatment, I think this would be a great one to try.

But, honestly, I think there are so many great acne lotions or acne serums out there that can give you the acne fighting benefits along with other anti-aging benefits and moisturizing benefits that are a better purchase. When you purchase an acne fighting lotion you are getting a 2 in 1 product which saves you money and it also insures that your moisturizer is going to help fight acne instead of make it worse.

If you are familiar with Bare Essentials and bareMinerals you would be interested to know that this is a sister company to them and that they promise the same high quality in their md formulations and they do with all of their products.

This specific complex targets acne and blemishes. It is a dual formula complex that is clinically proven to reduce the appearance and texture of skin when it comes to acne. It promised to clear up the skin quickly, even out skin tone and skin texture and improve the skins ability to fight acne at the source.

How does md formulations Vit-A-Plus Clearing Complex work?

md formulations Vit-A-Plus Clearing Complex focuses on killing acne at the source, the build up of debris in the pores. Many people don’t understand that acne is caused by excess sebum (oil found in the skin) that traps dead skin cells and other skin debris on top of the skin or inside the pores.

When this happens it causes the pores to become clogged and bacteria to be produced to try and rid the skin of the excess skin cells and debris trapped on the skin. By breaking up the excess sebum, sloughing of the dead skin cells, and clearing out the pores you are able to finally have healthy and acne free skin.

The ingredients used in this anti-acne treatment are all focused on exfoliating the skin, improving the cellular turnover rate and cleansing out the pores of the debris and build up.

Ingredients in md formulations Vit-A-Plus Clearing Complex?

The top 3 active  ingredients are

• LACTIC ACID- increases cellular turnover rate, adds moisture that won’t clog of block pores, helps in the removal of dead skin cells and debris trapped on the skin.

Price of md formulations Vit-A-Plus Clearing Complex?

$39 for 1 fl oz

Verdict: does md formulations Vit-A-Plus Clearing Complex work?

Overall, this is a pretty good product for mild acne sufferers. It seems to have a good balance of ingredients at healthy and comfortable concentrations. It is paraben free, fragrance free and safe for all skin types which is a plus when you already have irritated and uncomfortable skin.

My concern lies in the fact that it may not be strong enough for all stages and grades of acne. If you suffer from acne you may want to continue your search and look for a product that may be a little bit more intense and that targets all levels of acne. 

You may also be interested in looking into acne products that work from healing acne on the inside with internal acne remedies. Dermatologists have some great resources when it comes to acne and how to fight it.

One thing I do know, is that you can have clear skin again and it is worth taking the propers steps to give you the confidence and joy that comes from having clear skin.

The gel works by drying up the skins excess oil and sebum while also clearing out the pores to give you a cleaner and much clearer face.

The ingredients in this acne gel work together to give you results that are said to be effective and lasting. The gel consistency is a good vehicle for getting the active ingredients into the skin. The molecules are a good size for penetrating to the middle layers of the skin, where the oil is produced and where the skin gets blocked.

Ingredients in Dr. Ci:Labo Basic Black Charcoal Gel?

There are a long list of active ingredients in this facial product. Instead of naming them all, I will give you the active ingredients and explain to you what their benefits are claimed to be-

Charcoal Powder-charcoal has been used medicinally by the Japanese for centuries to detoxify and clarify skin. Charcol works to attract and absorb impurities out of the skin. This is able to unclog pores and remove dead skin cells from the top layer of the skin, giving you a much cleaner and more clear complexion.

Lactic Acid-Lactic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid lactic acid is usually used in anti-aging pproducte becuase it works so well as a moisturizer but it also works to exfoliate dead skin cells which helps with the clearing of acne.

Jojoba Seed Oil Extract- This oil is oddly similar to the skin oil of humans (aka: sebum) by adding this to the skin and interesting reaction happens. The jojoba oil will actually break up the sebum found on the skin that is clogging the pores.  Jojoba also has many other beneficial properties like working as an anti-inflammatory, adding moisture to the skin, re hydrating and rejuvenating the skin.

Aloe Vera-is usually known for its healing effects on the skin, but it is also been proven to shrink pores, reduce acne, enhance natural skin glow, even out skins texture leaving it soft and smooth

Salicylic Acid-this is a very commonly used acne product. It is a beta-hydroxy acid that give the skin a mild exfoliating. This increases the cell-turnover rate and helps unclog pores. Salicylic acid gets into pores and will exfoliate inside of the pores which is very effective at eliminating the clogging residue that causes acne.

Price of Dr. Ci:Labo Basic Black Charcoal Gel?

$36 for 2.11oz

Verdict: does Dr. Ci:Labo Basic Black Charcoal Gel work?

We don’t think it is the best acne treatment out there. It seems to fall into the category of “okay acne products”.

I think if you were to keep looking, that you would be able to find some products that have a more dramatic impact on your skin and clearing up the unwanted  and emberassing acne at the source.

This particular treatment is a mask that focuses on reducing blackheads found on the face and minimizing the appearance of pores.

This mask is also said to reduce other acne breakouts, exfoliate the skin, smooth the skins fine lines, wrinkles and improve the overall tone and texture of the skin.

How does Joey New York Bye Bye Blackheads work?

Since this treatment is a mask, it works as many masks do.

It is placed topically on the skin and left for a set amount of time. In doing this the ingredients in the mask have time to penetrate the skins epidermal layer and work their way into deeper skin cells that aren’t as easily targeted with a general lotion type treatment. 

Acne masks are also great because they have time to actually work on reducing the bacteria found on the skin and then removing it when the mask is removed.

Ingredients in Joey New York Bye Bye Blackheads?

This mask has an interesting ingredient line up that I haven’t seen before.

•  Coconut Water-is known for being a light moisturizer that also decreases excessive oil on the skin, which could make it beneficial for smoothing out combination skin
• Indian Ginseng Extract Complex- said to help heal the skin which will help with blemishes and also said works to smooth the skin which helps with fine lines and wrinkles
• Vitamin E- a vitamin that is rich in moisture and has great healing properties, vitamin E nourishes the skin and helps it look the best that it can
• Salicylic Acid- a very popular acne clearing ingredient. It is made from white willow bark and has antibacterial properties as well as exfoliating properties. This helps the skin slough off unwanted dead skin cells while clearing out the bacteria that those skin cells can trap.

Price of Joey New York Bye Bye Blackheads?

This anti-breakout, anti-blackhead, anti-aging mask retails for $28.00 at most stores and is offered through HSN for $25.00.

The Joey company themselves do not appear to offer any money back guarantees, but many of their retailers do. I would look into the return policy of the store you are purchasing from before buying because this mask does not have very good reviews.

Verdict: does Joey New York Bye Bye Blackheadswork?

I’m so sad to say that this mask does not seem to be able to live up to its claims. Almost all of the reviews I have found on this product are negative saying that it didn’t work for them. From what I can tell no one has had any reverse or negative side effects from using this mask, they just aren’t getting any results.

With how many great acne fighting treatments and products there are out there I would suggest that you continue on in your search for a great treatment product. If you do your research you will be able to find on that can reverse the signs of acne and reduce the appearance of pores which leaves you with skin you are proud to show off to the world.

They promise to greatly reduce acne and blemishes on the skin, to improve the tone and texture of the skin, to cut excess oil out of the skins matrix, to slough off dead skin cells that can be the cause of acne all while moisturizing the skin.

As anyone who has had acne knows just how uncomfortable and embarrassing showing your blemished face can be. I don’t think there is anything someone suffering from acne wants more then to be able to show their skin with confidence. If this acne lotion can live up to what it promises then it will give you more then just the results promised, it will give you your life back.

How does Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare TriFix Acne Clearing Lotion work?

Acne lotions are probably one of the best acne treatments that you can do for the skin. They work to treat the problem while also moisturizing. Many acne treatments dry the skin out, cut out too much oil and can sometimes cause reverse effects when it comes to aging the skin.

By using a acne lotion you can get the acne clearing ingredients into the skin while keeping a healthy balance of moisture.

Ingredients in Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare TriFix Acne Clearing Lotion? 

The ingredients in this acne lotion are very common acne fighting ingredients.

• Willow Bark Extract (the natural form of salicylic acid)- this acne fighting ingredient is probably one of the best acne fighting ingredients out there. It is known for its ability to kill bacteria at the source, to slough off dead skin cells that can collect on the skin and cause break outs. It is also very good at cleansing the skin at a pore level making it possible for other ingredients to enter the skin.
• Colloidal Sulfur- sulfur is probably the oldest treatment for acne and is dated back thousands of years ago. Sulfur has drying and healing properties that make it very effective at treating acne. You can expect quick results from sulfur.
• Farnesol (the natural form of benzoyl peroxide)- this ingredient helps with cellular turnover and peeling the skin of excess debris that can get caught on the skin and cause acne and blemishes.

Price of Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare TriFix Acne Clearing Lotion?

$32 for 1.7 oz

Verdict: does Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare TriFix Acne Clearing Lotion work?

We are actually impressed with the quality of ingredients and the claims made by Dr. Dennis Gross. When reading the customer reviews we can’t help but notice that this lotion seems to work great for some and just okay for others.

We think that you wouldn’t be making a bad purchase if you decided to try this treatment, but we also think that there are some acne treatments and acne lotions out there that are a little more effective.

The 4 parts are said to all have their own function to clear the skin and that combined you will be able to finally clear up you skin once and for all.

How does Boscia complexion Care Kit work?

Verdict: does Boscia complexion Care Kit work?

At first glance when looking at this kit I thought it seemed to be a pretty good kit. The ingredients all made sense, the steps and order of the kit worked in conjunction with fighting acne and the price seemed fair.

But as we started to read peoples personal testimonials and reviews, we were a little concerned. There seemed to be extremely mixed reviews, it worked wonders on some peoples skin but then cause further breakouts and irritiation on other people skin. This concerns me a little because how do you know which category you will fit under?

Nothing is worse then causing already irritated and acne prone skin to become worse?! And if this product has been known to do that, then you may want to try something else that doesn’t have these risks. Or you may at least want to try samples of the product before purchasing them.

Whatever you decide to do, good luck! Acne is a hard beast to tame, but it is possible!

It is one of those things that everyone goes through, a rite of passage. This makes adults less sympathetic to your struggle because they had to go through it so why shouldn’t you.

As we become men or women we try to navigate the way that we are supposed to act and how our looks reflect our inner selves. Acne at this point in life just seems like a cruel joke.
