DERMAdoctor Ain't Misbehavin' medicated acne control serum helps address all the factors that contribute to the formation of acne.
Birth of a Blemish
Keratinization (sticky cells). Acne is a disorder of keratinization, in which the surface of the cells lining the sebaceous gland is sticky, resulting in them clumping together beneath the surface of the skin rather than being eliminated through daily natural exfoliation. As the plug deep within the pore enlarges and it reaches the surface of the skin, contact with air leads to oxidation - the end result is a visible blackhead.
Hormonal Triggering of Oil Production. In the meantime, the sebaceous glands have triggered DHT, the active metabolite of the hormone testosterone (and in women as progesterone), and continue to make lots of oil.
Bacteria. Proprionobacterium acnes (P. acnes), the bacteria that live within the sebaceous glands, thrive in this environment. Lack of air and lots of sebum (oil) nourishes the bacteria, allowing them to flourish.
Inflammation. P. acnes produce a chemical which triggers white blood cells to swarm into the area. Inflammation occurs. The result - white heads and small red acne papules.
Ultimately, a combination of persistent plugging, excessive oil build-up (envision an expanding water balloon) and inflammation produced by bacterial over growth cause the gland to rupture. On the surface, this manifests itself as an inflamed acne papule or cyst.
Intervening at several points along this pathway speeds up acne clearing and maximizes overall results.

An Ulta employee suggested this product for my hormonal acne. Based on his information I purchased my first tube of this in December 2012. Vary rarely do I like a product enough to purchase it again but I love this stuff and won't ever run out. It works and has definitely helped with my acne!!

Comments about Dermadoctor Ain't Misbehavin' Medicated Acne Control Serum:
At 22, I was getting sick of breaking out. I never touched my acne, but it would leave scars anyway. I also started to break out in the same place on my face all the time. I heard a good review about this product, and decided to purchase it. I use it twice a day along with the acne face wash and I have to say it worked wonders. Since I started using this product I HAVE NOT BROKEN OUT ONCE. My skin feels clean and refreshed and even my scaring has started to fade. Once I let the serum absorb its also easy to wear makeup on top of it. it hasn't dried out my skin, and has left my face feeling soft. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who wants to deal with acne prone skin. It is worth the price.

I have been experiencing breakouts within my t-zone for a few months now. I have tried other products with no luck. I happened upon this product online and decided to try it based on the reviews. I am glad I did! It worked quickly and my skin is now breakout free. I am also using the Litmus test PH balance moisturizer and love the results. I am very pleased with my purchases so far!

Comments about Dermadoctor Ain't Misbehavin' Medicated Acne Control Serum:
I am 32 and started getting acne and oily skin like I was 16. I tried everything from the most expensive to the cheap. My doctor told me it was a hormone problem and suggested I try DERMAdoctor. It works great and can't go a day with out it. I also take a natural herb called Chasteberry (in the form of a pill) which is a nice natural way to help crazy hormones in your 30s.

Comments about Dermadoctor Ain't Misbehavin' Medicated Acne Control Serum:
I have been using this product for one week as of today. I can already see the reduction of my pores and blemishes. and an all around improvement of the tone of my skin. I believe within the second week I will see notable results.
Although this product may seem expensive, it is actually a good deal; the serum is designed to use in small amounts, thus is should last a year.
