Is this product good to treat acne? if so how have you used it? I heard you can mix it with baking soda also. Thanks.

I don't know if the product is good for acne, but it can be mixed with baking soda in the tub - we've done it.

I have been using it twice a day for a few months and absolutely love it! I just mix it with an all natural baby lotion from the health food store. I actually add about 1/1/2 teaspoons to half a cup of lotion in a small container. My acne is all but gone and the scars/tone of my face is even and calm! Amazing...

Like the acne left marks in your skin? I don't know to be honest. It really is just for discoloration. It helped with the dark spots acne left on my skin. It did a tremendous jjob. But for actual indentation? You would have to try it. It helps if your skin is so oily its causing acne as well. But make sure to moisturize because it will dry your skin out. I hope I sorta helped :)

I haven't used the treatment since the dinosaur age but continued using the lotion because it was fast acting, only a minimal amount was needed to "stop a zit in its tracks", and not super drying. I found that my acne cleared up when I started to add an additional amount of zinc to my diet in pill form and stopped drinking soda (this is a big one, no derm agrees with me except the one who told me that even though there is no proof that sodas cause acne, they do keep good minerals and trace elements from being used by the largest organ we have -- our skin) and sweets. I am 66 now so if you are considerably younger you may want to ignore everything I have just said. Good Luck!

I used it on my face with no problem as far as breakouts or any kind of adverse reaction. Problem I have with the product is that, even though I applied it AFTER washing my face in the morning, seems the evening face washing completely removed it. It never stayed- I might as well have been using a bronzing powder if it's just going to wash off!

It burned the *expletive deleted* out of my face after about a minute. I left it in probably for about 3 minutes before I used baking soda to neutralize it. I would say do a test on your neck or something first because it was not my first peel I knew what to expect. What I do now is I only put it on areas that are uneven in tone or that have pimples and leave it for the full time (about 8-10 min) or as long as I can stand it LOL and then neutralize it. Follow up with a moisturizer for your skin type (I use pure argan oil from Morocco) and you're good to go! It is a pretty decent peel even if it burns a bit and it doesn't quite PEEL peel but you'll notice your skins clarity improves. Hope this helped!

Spray it with rubbing alcohol, or just pour the alcohol over it. I think it's probably fine for acne-prone skin. Try using a facial oil instead of acne medication that dries out the skin. In my experience (I have 3 daughters) trying to dry up pimples only makes the skin think it needs to make more oil to compensate while adding oil to oily skin balances the complexion.

Its better that u keep using it for a while to make sure the acne is not comming back and if you want the product to clear your skin you really have to use it for a long time cause you dont see the results inmediatlly. U dont need to rinse the product, u just apply it with clean skin and leave it all the time you want.

Water mix w baking soda must be used. Regular water will NOT wash th acid out and your face will burn.I found 2 min to be more than enough. 3 min is way too long and you may see redness that will take few days to come down.

Are you using too much? I put on a very light application. I have always been prone to breakouts and no longer have them using this product. Maybe your skin is sensitive to some ingredient in the product? Hard to say.

I mixed it with Lubraderm. It Turned white after a lot of rubbing. This was too greasy for my face, but worked okay on the rest of the body. Next I will mix it with a lighter lotion and see how it works on my face.

It is not good for acne. I think that this retinol is fake. Dont works for wrinkles.

I've been using the 40% for about a year now. My skin rarely peels or flakes afterwards. I use a baking soda mud to neutralize the acid and it kind of acts like an exfoliater.

I would say it DOES help even your skin tone among other things. My cheeks and jawline were burdened with acne and acne blemishes. I barely noticed results when using this as a Mask 1x/wk basis, and even 2x/wk. This week, I used this as a nightly "Rinse", and now my face is almost blemish-free. I already use a konjac sponge to exfoliate my skin, then apply the clay (mixed with a few add-ins). I keep the clay on no more than five minutes, rinse, then moisturize. I did this for seven nights in a row, and WOW. What I looked like the Monday before I started this is pretty damn yucky compared to what I look like by the next Monday morning. I wish I had thought to try this sooner. I would say it DOES help even your skin tone among other things. My cheeks and jawline were burdened with acne and acne blemishes.

I personally use it with a cleanser. I just mix the crystals in with some face wash in my hand until it forms a kind of paste, and then use it to scrub my face. I wouldn't use it on it's own. It's going to need some kind of binder.

Hi Gunner, Thanks for your question. We have had numerous customers with acne prone skin tell us that our moisturizer is the only cream they can use. However, we have also had a few who it did not work well for (just being honest with you). The thing about our products is that they are organic and don't contain any harmful chemicals that typically inflame and aggravate acne prone skin. So we have had a lot of success in helping people with acne. I would recommend also looking at trying our Organic Facial Wash along with the Moisturizer as together, they work quite well on all skin types, including those prone to acne. All of our products have a Satisfaction Guarantee, so there is no risk to you to try them. If they don't work for your skin, you can return them for a full refund no questions asked. I hope this helps. Kenny CEO Christina Moss Naturals
