Didn't work for me
Book promises -the end- of acne problems, even severe acne cases, I followed carefully and did not work for me.
The "solution of acne problems" proposed by this book are three basic procedures which are:
Salicilic acid based soap, Glycolic acid, and Benzoil peroxide products. And some tips -like use ice on affected areas- to avoid pimples inflamation
all this in the first and second chapters
The rest of the book is dedicated on how to keep a healty skin
(using minerals like zinc, antioxidants, and other things we know)
My advice is: save your time and your money
Seven months later...
I wrote a positive review several months back about this book. I'm surprised to read several reviewers' negative comments. I started Dr. Dubrow's programme, as outlined in the book, just before Christmas. I was amazed that for the first time in my life something that made a claim about helping acne actually WORKED.
Now, seven months later, I have no acne. None. I don't mean less, I mean NONE. I wish I'd had this book twenty years ago when this problem first showed up in my life. Imagine what it's like to wake up every morning and know that when you look in the mirror there will be nothing wrong with your face. That's what I experience now because of what I learned in this book. What's more, while the initial six-week programme is quite involved, in the "maintenance" phase of the programme, where I am now, I have to do nothing more than wash my face in the morning and night.
You're entitled to scepticism -- we all are. Sales of bogus or harmful acne cures are a gold mine, and we're the slaves working it. I don't want to cast aspersions on these other reviewers -- they've had whatever experiences they've had. But I wish I could give every acne sufferer the results I've been so fortunate to have since finding Dr Dubrow's book. If you're hesitating, I'd say to take the risk. It's made a world of difference for me.
seems to be working!
I'm 33 and have had acne on and off for the past 20 years. Tried antibiotics, facials, cleansers; nothing worked. Plus, about 2 years ago I developed tiny bumps (sometimes called milia) on my cheeks, which absolutely refused to disappear.
I live in Japan and ordered all the required products online, for about $60 total. I've been following the program (more or less) for the past month; and it seems to be working. Right now my skin is clear, for the first time in several years. Fingers crossed! I definitely recommend giving it a try.
