Is there a specific moisturizer I should use with this routine?
We recommend trying out our Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer or Effaclar Mat Moisturizer. Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive. This face moisturizer helps restore healthy-looking skin.
How long until I see results?
You should see results within 10 days of using the system.
Will this set work for combination skin?
This kit is suitable for acne prone-skin. If you have dry areas, we recommend testing the products on those areas to see if you experience dryness. If you do experience dryness, you can cut back usage in those areas but continue to treat your acne.

I bought this product four days ago (today is 8/29/22. I am in awe. I have been struggling with adult/cystic acne for years and have tried damn near everything. Even the fancy expensive skincare products and everything makes it WORSE. I have very sensitive skin and was getting to the point where I was getting new acne every couple of days and it was very inflamed and red. I noticed minor scarring happening and panic purchased this skin set (which I often do when I get flare ups but to no avail).
I noticed a different within 12 hours of the first use. I used this at night and when I woke up my acne was noticeably less red and inflamed. In the four days I have been using this product I have not gotten ANY new acne. Which is a miracle.
The current acne is getting less noticeable with each use and I want to cry I feel so relieved.
Couple of notes:
1. This has been working for my acne, my acne is adult and cystic and I have sensitive skin. They may not work for different skin/acne types.
2. This is fairly drying, please use a light moisturizer after use.
3. Apply step 2 and 3 very lightly, if you do too much it will feel like a strong menthol burning sensation.
4. Use a cotton pad to apply step 2, it’s a liquid and can’t be applied with just your hands.
5. This is a strong formula, particularly steps 2 and 3. Do not use steps 2 and 3 more than once a day in the beginning if you have sensitive skin. Slowly transition yourself into this routine or you could end up causing a flare up.
6. I recommend using this at night before bed and not in the morning. It gives your skin time to soothe and calm down.
7. On a similar note, this product will make your skin more sensitive to sun/light. Please wear a good face sunscreen everyday.
8. Steps 1 and 2 have virtually no scent, but step 3 smells a bit odd. Nothing very strong, but I would describe it almost like latex medical gloves? So just and fyi.
9. I have acne on my upper lip so I apply all three steps there, it has caused my top lip to chap and burn so I have had to reapply chapstick a lot throughout the day. Small price to pay in my mind.
Overall: If you have been struggling with acne and feel at the end of your rope, for $30 this product is worth a try. But stick to it and be diligent.

I decided to spend a little more than usual and try this treatment. I also bought a La Roche-Posay moisturiser to add as a step 4.
Pros:
-Fragrance free
-Cystic acne shrunk and disappeared
-Red acne scars diminished
-Whiteheads quickly came to surface, as well as dryness and muck from pores
-Skin felt cleaner.
Cons:
-Step 3 (tube) left skin feeling tingly. Switched to applying every other night, using a tiny amount on problem areas only
-Products left cream-coloured spots on towels and bedding
-Can leave skin a bit dry around nose and mouth. Putting a bit of Vaseline/Aquaphor on these areas after Step 1 was helpful
-Makes skin more sensitive to sun. I did get a little bit burnt, so need to increase my SPF.
Overall, worth the price if you don’t mind using old pillowcases and towels, and being careful in the sun!

The cleanser is definitely more powerful than the ones I’ve used in the past. I limit the benzoyl peroxide to the more intense breakout areas. Definitely use that lightly because it can burn if you’re too enthusiastic, especially in areas with more delicate skin like under the eye. If you have more sensitive skin, I would definitely proceed with caution. My skin doesn’t usually react to things, but using these did cause some milder burning and irritation. When I used it with one of my moisturizers it began to burn fairly intensely, so I had to adjust my routine a bit to find something that fit. I would recommend you start slow introducing them one at a time and keeping the dosage small at first.
Also…if you’re using retinol at night, they recommend you stick to benzoyl peroxide in the morning because the two lower each other’s effectiveness when they interact.
Once you get the hang of it, it can definitely pay off!
The speed that I saw benefits where impressive. After just 2 days I noticed significant improvements and now after a week my skin is almost completely clear and looks better than it has in a while! And for once…no excess T zone oiliness but a much more balanced look!
