"I never really had too many problems with acne as a teen but as an adult I have had occasional breakouts. My acne consisted of some blackheads but primarily pimples that eventually would become whiteheads as well as cystic like pimples (although those were not frequent). I don't want to paint a picture as if I had severe acne but I had enough to always envy others with seemingly clear skin and 'invisible' pores. I can't tell you how many products I've tried from Dermalogica to Noxema to Proactive. Some didn't work at all and some worked for a short amount of time. None of them cleared my skin. Then I tried Clenziderm. It took a few weeks to really clear my skin but I began to see improvements. My skin began to have less breakouts (and I haven't had any moderate ones since using this product). My skin also became brighter and the pores began to shrink in some areas. The acne that I may get from time to time doesn't stay around at all and I swear I can even sleep in my makeup without having to suffer for 2-3 days with a bad breakout afterward. It really has changed my skin. I get a lot of compliments and I am really happy with the results. I've been using Clenziderm for about a year now and it's still going strong!!! Now let me warn you, you may have a bit of drying initially. As a result, you'll have to spend the first few weeks deciding what regiment is best for you (2x a day, once a day, etc.). Find a great moisturizer and I mean it, you won't regret it!!"
