Question 1

Where can I just buy the Acne Control Lotion in this pack? - Amazon shows a similar product but it's different.

Accepted Answer

Just look for a Benzoyl Peroxide lotion, this one is 2.5% with no irritating products added (that a lot of acne products do). I too think this is the best product in the box, although the moisturizer is deceptively effective and VERy non-pimple forming - which is rare. But if you don't use the other products, I'd try 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide Dr Song Acne Gel, or Acne.org 8 oz. Treatment (2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide), or Paula's Choice Clear Regular Strength Acne Treatment with 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide. They are more expensive than this set, but you get up to 8x as much Benzoyl Peroxide.

Question 2

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 years and that was good, but I can't find the regular one in stores …

I've been using this system for over 8 years because it works. I'm 41 years old now and I have PCOS that causes acne. So, I'll probably be using this until menopause. The original instructions when this product first came onto the market was to use the wash before bed, apply a THIN layer of the acne contol lotion (more like a mask than lotion), taking care to avoid the oribits of the eyes. Allow to dry and leave on during sleep. In the morning, be sure to wash again with the cleanser and apply a tiny bit of the SPF acne lotion, as your skin is very UV sensitive after the all night treatment. There is salylic acid in the "night" treatment, so avoid UV if your face can't handle SPF lotion. Mine can't, so I use Neutrogena sensitive face moisturizer and wear visors or wide brimmed hats and avoid the sun during treatment. I only need to use it about 1 or 2 times a month for 3 days if I have a break out. I can usually pre-empt a breakout with 1 night's treatment if I see a few bumps begin. This product is amazing, and I have even dedicated my make up brand to Neutrogena.

Question 3

I just got this system and used it for the first time and i noticed after using all the products my pimples got sooo red did this happen to you? whyme

Accepted Answer

I've used it for weeks on and off and  never had that problem on the contrary  it really helps me control breakouts (?)I would stop using it,  there's got to be an ingredient that is causing that.

Question 4

Why is this product making my skin very dry, tight feeling, and ashy?

Accepted Answer

The acne control lotion is not a moisturizer, it is a benzoyl peroxide solution that will dry out your skin. After applying the acne lotion, apply the moisturizer to keep your skin protected and hydrated.
