So i have been using this for over a week now including the acne clearing serum. I started breaking out worse around my jaw. I heard that starting a new skin care routine can break you out, but is it normal for this product and should i keep using it and wait for results?

Fixed the undergrounders!
I spent $200 on dermadoctor products and while I thought it was helping, it is NOTHING compared to the trio I used. I bought the travel version of this (with the yellow lotion) as well as the acne solutions trio (which came with a foam cleanser but I prefer this one). Incredible! I had these undergr...

Only for extremely oily skin
I have combination skin with a lot of blackheads and was freaking out around my chin area. Although my t zone is oily, my cheeks and forehead are dry. I purchased this product hoping it would help clear up some of my blackheads and pimples that we're going around my chin while not being to drying on...

I love this I recommend to anyone with breakouts
Verified Buyer
I use this product every night. I have noticed differences in just one week!
Horrible for oily, sensitive skin
I bought this product because I had 2 or 3 stubborn pimples that would not go away. I have cystic acne breakouts from time to time but I can usually keep it under control. I have been using this for a month and my skin looks worse than it ever has. I have breakouts in areas I never had them before and now my face is covered in pimples, big and small. Every time one goes away 2 or 3 more pop up. Do not use if you have oily, sensitive skin! I'm going back to my old skincare routine and hopefully I can reverse the damage I've caused using this face wash. Worst mistake ever!
This Acne wash is excellent with clearing up my Acne
Verified Buyer
It cleared my skin and left my skin soft and clean,I recommend this cleaner if anyone who has acne
Cleared my acne
Definitely helped clear up some hormonal acne i was having near my jaw and chin. I use it mostly at night and wake up with less inflammation. Make sure to moisturize enough after using!
horrible
I used this along with the clarifying lotion and clearing gel religiously for 2 months and my acne is worse than its ever been. I was trying to give it time to "clear my face of impurities" since I started a new treatment but i am so disappointed. between the 3 products I've lost way too much money. very frustrating. I'll go back to my drugstore product that only gave me occasional breakouts
