I am a 27 year old mother of 2 and I seriously thought that I'd never stop looking like a hormonal teen mom! I have been using this 3 step system on and off for 2 years. I'd always stop using because I'd switch to something new that was supposed to work better. Then I went the all natural route with essential oil blends and toners and bam. Back to this. Nothing ever took care of my deep as heck pores on my nose and tzone area, I'd get terrible cysts on my jawline and sometimes forehead that would take weeks to disappear and I have tried almost EVERY single brand out there. Anti agents i have found work best on my skin. Glycolic and aha /bha acids are my fav. LOL. But even when using exuvience, clarins, dermadoctor, and juice beauty - my pitted scars barely faded and I'd still get horrible break outs on my chin. Any storebrand, behind the counter, monthly subscription (neutrogena skinid, proactive, rodan and fields), I swear to you. You name it and I've probably given it a try! This stuff is the bomb. Give it 14 days. 2 weeks and tell me you don't see a huge difference. You NEED a good moisturizer. The negative complaints are from individuals that need to learn how to balance their skin. I have been using clinique smart daytime lotion for the day and SKYN oxygen infusion cream at night. YES those are 2 pricey lotions but dang are they worth it if you've thrown away more money on useless products. They will easily last you 90 days. I use the spot treatment just as that.. a spot treatment. Sometimes Id put on my tzone when my pores were huge and black head filled. Again, make sure you moisturize! Attached are photos that are a month apart. The left photo isnt even when my skin was at it's worse. I thought it looked good at the time I took it. I hate myself without makeup so I can't even believe I'm posting this on a PUBLIC WEBSITE. But the results are real. If you've ever cried over the pain you're in due to cystic acne, BUY THIS RIGHT MEOW.
So, this summer has been SUPER hard on my skin. I really liked this product at first. It did what it promised and I noticed my blemishes were greatly reduced in the first 3 days. But, after continuing with the product (as directed) I began to develop strange bumps that were jut under the surface of my skin. They would never come to a head and they just stayed. I decided to return the product because of the bumps. Also, I got super dry. To the point where my chin had a red dry patch that has taken about 2 weeks to clear up. Just didn't work for me.

So i've only used this product twice and I already see a huge improvement in my acne! I have spent so much money and time on trying to heal my acne! I wish I would of started with this. If you're on the fence about it, go get it!

I got this system on Saturday night, followed the directions, and by Monday morning, I developed this burning, itching, dry rash/reaction. I went to urgent care because I thought I was getting a chemical burn. So now I still have the acne and a red sunburn looking rash.

Prior to this October I have been very blessed with clear skin, besides a break out here and there I have been okay. Since October, I have tried every single skin care line I could think of. I read countless reviews, watched derm videos like crazy and tried a prescription strength retinoid and NOTHING WORKED. The patches on my cheeks continued to come back, get worse and I have felt so insecure since. I have been using this for ONE WEEK AND I SEE RESULTS. My skin has cleared drastically. I never write reviews so that's when you know it's a good product 😂 make sure to moisturize with LRP LP balm and you will see results very soon!!! Thank you LRP!!!!

I have been using all of these products for about 2 years now & using them frequently my skin looks better than ever & I continue to use these products every morning & night.

I have seen a noticeable difference in my skin since I started using this system. My complexion appears clearer and brighter, and I'm so thrilled the products don't irritate, sting, or burn.

This product did what it said it would do. ULTA didn't. I kept having to contact them for my free gift and for whatever reason every single time (three) in all, they just couldn't get it right! I pointed each C.S.R to the description of articles and contacted the actual seller but they just referred me back to ULTA and once again and ultimately I had to escalate the call and they just ended up sending out more of the same product so I just gave up. It wasn't the offer they're offering right now, it was a different offer. I've had this offer, and it's very tiny but powerful.

I was using another well known brand for about two years, but recently started getting huge under the skin breakouts. They were mainly on my chin/jaw and so painful!! I said it was just part of postpartum for a few month. I started researching and found this set. I've been using it for over a month and NO breakouts!! Def worth trying!!
LP from NY
I wrote a review, but wanted to share pictures of the difference!
I have used so many products (neutrogena, cetaphil, cerave, clinique, proactive, prescription medications and more...)! But this has worked the best of all of them. I use it as recommended along with the repair moisturizer (which is also wonderful and doesn't feel heavy or oily). I am in my late 30"s and have struggled with hormonal acne for the past couple years. This calms the painful areas and helps minimize how bad they get. It also helps keep the rest of my skin clear. If you're on the fence about this, it's worth trying!

I'm so happy I came across the brand It's amazing!! My skin is so clear now I feel so amazing and my makeup goes on so much more smooth Definitely recommend this product!!!
Mira from AL
I'm satisfied with those products so far, especially with the toner that removes the dead cells. My only complaint is to Ulta: when I ordered it online, it was written that a small gift product from La Rosh is included. But nothing extra has come with my order...

I have been struggling with acne on my forehead and lower cheeks of my face for years now. I couldn't figure out what was causing it. Everytime I got a pimple and dealt with it, more would show up. Especially cystic acne. It was unbearable because I didn't know how to handle it and I kept getting dark spots on my face (primary my forehead) from them. I felt so uncomfortable not wearing makeup. I decided to give this brand a try. I had tried the sunscreen before I got this package and it works wonders by the way. This package specifically has helped my skin so much. I literally haven't gotten any acne when I stay consistent with this. It's so simple to use. I am still working on my dark stops but I don't think they are as obvious as before. Especially now that I am not getting *new* spots. I use this package with their sunscreen and I love it. It has definitely changed my skin!!!!

This product cleared up my horrible hormonal acne in two days! I'm shooooooooooook to the core. This is amazing. I have super super sensitive skin and this didn't cause any issues for me! I'm so so so happy. Don't think, just buy.
Jess from Cleveland
I've recently been experiencing really bad hormonal acne after coming off of birth control a few months ago. I've tried everything and nothing seemed to work. I have combo sensitive acne prone skin. I used this 3 step product once and it has burn my face and ruined my moisture barrier. I can't put any product on my face without it burning now.

I seriously swear by this product. I have combination mature skin and tend to breakout during my menopause flare ups or when the weather starts changing drastically. And this product has been the best at keeping my skin beautiful on a daily basis. I highly recommend this to anyone trying to clear their skin up and maintain it's clearness.
Luna from Kentucky
I've been using this product for three days now & oh my days! I have hormonal acne from pregnancy + I already had acne before so I'm sure you can imagine it's 🙄 but when I tell you by day two this set sucked the life out of the pimples I had on my face (in a good way) and made my textured skin (aka craters) feel nice and smooth and my pores look smaller. This product lives up to it's claim which is to diminish acne. Hopefully it continues to work, and since it's only been three days using this product I'm rating it four ⭐️.
cherbear from Texas
I am so impressed with this 3-step system. I had horrible acne on my cheek (just the right side) and chin. I tried so many products for at least 6 months and nothing worked. I have been using this for about 2 weeks and I have seen a substantial difference! At first my face was red and dry, but stick with it, it will render amazing results.
Maura from Washington, DC
I really liked this system when I first started using it because it really helped my oily skin. My face appeared matte most of the day. The spot treatment in particular helped keep pimples under control. After using the system however for about two weeks, I started seeing a bunch of red bumps on my forehead that became quite itchy. I stopped using the system immediately but am still waiting for the reaction to go down. It's definitely stopped itching and the redness is going down but my skin did not like this at all. Switching back to the effeclar face wash for oily skin (blue bottle) ASAP
Jp from Sacramento Ca
This product is amazing! I started to notice my skin clearing up within a week, my face did dry up pretty bad after the first few use but that just means it's working! Once the dryness went away I started noticing how smooth and clearer my skin has gotten. I have always struggled with acne and have tried everything. But this is def a game changer! Hoping it continues to keep my skin nice and clear!
Jen from Arkansas
About 2 months ago I bought this and didn't really have high hopes, my acne was at its worst and it made me feel hopeless. I used this product and immediately saw results, all the fungal acne and cystic pimples completely disappeared within 7 days. People told me my skin was GLOWING which made me fall in love with this product. If you're scared to buy this product I can reassure you this WILL WORK. Run don't walk to buy this!
Lauren from ?
I had very stubborn bumps and pimples on my chin, forehead and nose area. This face wash/kit paired with nicinimade and cera ve moisturizer completely got rid of the bumps and HELPED my breakouts - takes time. I was so grateful to find something that worked and I think for the price, it's 100% worth it❤️❤️
Mimi from Austin, TX
I'm obsessed. After about a week my skin started clearing up immensely. Never going back.
