How do I use this? Wash face with cleanser, then apply the acne control lotion and let it dry overnight? Is the regular lotion necessary to use or is it only if you're having a lot of dryness? Finally. Is this a good product? Been using acnefree for...

Hi tmtran, At night, I wash with the cleanser, then apply the acne control lotion and keep it on my face overnight. In the morning, I wash with the cleanser and put a very, very small amount of the regular lotion on; but I don't apply the acne control lotion in the morning. I found that applying the acne control lotion in the morning and at night caused my skin to become very dry, but I suppose if someone had super oily skin applying the acne control lotion day and night might be better. I switched from Proactiv to this system because I wanted to be able to purchase my skin care products locally. It is a pretty decent product, though I'm sure it would work better for some than others depending on the skin type. I hope this helps

If it is drying your face out too much, I would use it every other day. Use a good moisturizer every night and day to keep your skin from getting too dry. I also only use a tiny pea size dollop of this to cleanse my face to keep it from drying it out too much.

I would use the cleanser first, then a toner, then the acne lotion, the regular lotion is just for added moisture, this is my regimen and I've never had a breakout since I've been using it!

I found that it doesn't aggravate acne but if I don't wash my face after 8 hrs . . I get a sticky feeling and then produces acne for me . .I love this product ..

I think you should stop to use it when you have acne on your face. But it can clean your skin deeply to prevent the acne appear.

Use only in the morning as your moisturizer. The daylight activates it. Use something else at night, according to my dermatologist.

I've always used this product on my face. I have oily, acne-prone skin and using this product has not caused flare-ups. I would recommend using a light hand when applying it to your face and making sure to moisturize any dry areas because it will make that area darker than the surrounding areas. I would also recommend applying this before you go to bed and washing it off in the morning. The guide color is very dark and can look a little unnatural on the face. Also, make sure to not apply foundation or concealer over the guide, as this may cause the tanner to appear streaky or spotty.

I actually never clean it after applying to my face, since it is not strong. I also use citric acid and it makes my face burn like crazy. Then I do clean it after 3 minutes.

I always follow with a moisturizer after a few minutes. Otherwise I find this too drying. If you use a serum, you can use the serum in the morning and the retinol before bed.

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.

I have very dry skin and this did not dry it more. I used it for eczema, so I can't answer about acne. Sorry.

Honestly, I didn't care for the acne wash, but I liked the benzoyl peroxide cream and the moisturizing lotion. I didn't follow the regimen as directed - I only used it in the morning and I had fair results with it. Would I order again? Probably not.

It wont over dry your skin if you only once a day. Even if you don't have acne or anything there is still dirt in your skin and if helps remove it. It also does great at evening skin tone.

I wash my face with my everyday vitamin c cleanser, towel dry pretty good before applying the peel. That is pretty much what the instructions tell you to do.

I apply it by hand on a dry face. I rinse with a warm wet wash cloth. This is a cleanser and you will want to rinse.

I just apply a thin layer over problem areas after I wash my face. This has nothing to do with this product, but check out: thelovevitamin.com. If you're suffering from acne, she has great advice. Good luck!

I put it on under my moisturizer in the morning before I apply makeup. Then use it again at night when I'm going to bed. My skin feels smooth the next morning. On weekends, I use it alone when I don't apply any makeup. My skin is not too oily so I sometimes need just a small dot of moisturizer with it. I love it!
