acne kit

acne is a genetic condition that can stay with you for the rest of your life. quite simple, acne occurs when the shedding process of dead cells in the hair follicle goes awry. instead of mixing with sebum in the sebaceous gland and being washed out through the pores, the follicle produces cells that stick together, mix with oil, and cause a bacterial reaction which results in at its mildest, a clogged pore and at its most extreme, a cyst.

we have a 4-step program to treating acne. step 1-suppress excessive oil production. step 2-shed the pore wall. step 3-help sanitize the skin to protect against bacteria. step 4-seal the skin to help keep the good treatments in and the bad elements out.

included in the acne kit:

3.3 oz. on a clear day super wash for oily skin, 1 oz. on a clear day blemish serum, 1 oz. on a clear day hydrogen peroxide cream, and 1 oz. on a clear day protection cream.

Summary: After a month, I am still happy.
Comment: I've been using this product for a little over a month now, and it seems to work pretty well. I used to have moderate acne, and while the amount of blemishes I have has not decreased, the visibility of them has reduced greatly. I've also noticed that any large blemishes heal more quickly, but that my skin is more sensitive to dryness and sun. This is not a perfect fix for me, but it is better than my old regimen, so that's good enough for now. Also, while it is a little pricey altogether, it lasts a while so it might end up costing less than my last regimen too.

Summary: If you are going to spend around $50 -- go with Proactiv instead
Comment: I am in my late twenties and started breaking out around my jawline and cheeks. I love Philosphy products so after researching what was out there I decide to try the Philosophy acne kit.

--------------------------------
On a Clear Day Super Wash (3 stars): not bad but I think Aveeno's Clear Complexion Cleansing line works about the same for less.

Clear Day Blemish Serum (2 stars): You can feel this working. There is definitely a sting but causes redness and left me with acne scars. Boo!

On a Clear Day Hydrogen Peroxide Cream (4.5 stars): Love this stuff. It leaves your face nice and soft in the mornings. I actually stopped using the serum and placed the cream on my acne and got better results. It slowly brought my monster zit down. Knowing what I do now, I would probably buy this on it's own.

On a Clear Day Protection Cream (1 star): I have no idea if this actually works. Applying it on my face did not help me from future break outs.

Overall the Philosophy Acne Kit help treat my acne but not prevent it.
--------------------------------

A couple days ago my co-worker game me a sample of PROACTIV cleanser and lotion. Even after my first use, my monster zit dramatically went down and nearly gone after three days. I was a real skeptic of Proactiv with all the celebrity spokespeople but what an amazing product line!!! If you are going to spend $47 on the Philosophy Acne Kit, spend an extra couple more dollars for Proactiv. Some Malls have the Proactiv machines so you can save on S&H if you can find one.

Summary: For acne prone skin
Comment: It is great for acne prone skin. But take care if your skin is not good hidrated, you will need to moisture more than normal, it is a great treatment but dries the skin, which is normal in acne treatments but, T zone, tends to dry, overall sensitive zones. So, get a good hidrating cream/emulsion too(oilfree).

Summary: It works!
Comment: This works! It didn't dry out my skin or cause it to flake and peel. No redness. I haven't had skin this clear since childhood! One side note, the hydrogen peroxide cream made my eyebrows lighter--oops! Just remember not to get it on your eyebrows and you'll be fine!

Summary: A Philosophy believer!
Comment: This product is fantastic! I recently began suffering from acne as a graduate student in my early 20's (I think the lack of sleep and stress appeared on my face). Just like many other people, I have tried so many other products (Clinique, Arbonne, Proactive) that did not work for my skin. This product cleared up even my difficult nodular acne (large, hard bumps under the skin's surface). The first couple weeks I did continue to break out (if you suffer from constant acne realize that acne is forming under the skin before it appears on your face, so be patient and realize that the product needs time to bring that acne to the surface and get rid of it). Since then I have been completely amazed by how my skin looks. I still have occasional blemishes but they disappear quickly and are not as severe as before.

The serum is my favorite product in this kit, but I use all four products as recommended. I have noticed that my skin dries out some in the area I use the serum, but I just use a good moisturizer (I use MAC Studio Moisture Fix, which contains antioxidants which are also good for blemished skin) which takes care of the dry spots.

Others have mentioned a dislike for the smell of some of the products. In my opinion the smell is not worth mentioning (it only last a few seconds and is not strong). Also, because it does not require a lot of each product I feel like this will last me for quite sometime! This product worked for me so I have absolutely no complaints! I'm a Philosophy believer!
