Exposed Skin Care, Basic Acne Treatment Kit with 2.5% Salicylic Acid and 3.5% Benzoyl Peroxide to Clear Up Teen, Adult, Hormonal and Cystic Acne – Natural, Non-toxic and Cruelty Free

This is truly the only product that worked for me after so many years of struggling with Acne. I wish I had found it in my younger years. I struggled with Acne issues since my teenage years and finally found Exposed Skin care in my 40's. I tried every product sold over the counter, those sold in expensive spa's, famous products sold on TV and in mall vending machines and I also sought help from the dermatologist. NONE WORKED!! Not only did I suffer with Acne, BUT I also struggle with sensitive skin. Which many of these products would burn and peel my face. In a desperate attempt, I googled ACNE solutions and Exposed came up as a hit. So, I placed an order thinking well what do I have to lose. OMG!!! the results have been very positive. First I noticed that as the breakouts were going thru their cycle, the healing was different. It wasn't the normal nasty stuff. After months of using, the breakouts were well under control with maybe one every other month. I've shared my products with my niece when I went to visit her for a week two years ago. My heart broke when I saw how she had such a sever case on her face. She had never struggled with Acne, but now in her mid 20's, had a mass case with nothing including the dermatologists working. She tried all the typical stuff including lots of herbal/natural remedies. I had brought with me new bottles of everything for the trip, thank God. I gave her the products I was used to using normally (Cleanser, Towel, Tonic, Acne Serum, Clear Pore Serum and weekly mask). I had such faith in the results and was not disappointed. By day 3, we noticed a difference in my nieces face, almost a healing of sorts. By day 5 we noticed more healing and clearing. By the end of 3 months, her face looked very clear as if nothing had ever happened!! She's been a loyal Exposed user now going on 2 years. We still marvel on how this was the only product to help her and continues to help her maintain a clear healthy face. We've seen each other in person a few times since that trip and each time I stare at her in AW as it is so amazing to see such a clear and healthy face. Even though I experienced personal results myself, it's just so amazing to see how her face was sever to now so healthy and clear!! One more success story now includes my own 13 year old son as he is now entering his teenage years. This last year he went from clear baby face to BOOM ugly outbreaks, ugh!!! I started him quickly on the Exposed routine. I could tell when he was using it faithfully and when he was NOT. He's learned that he can't be lazy and skip on morning or evening treatments. He's good with his routine now and the results are so good. When I look at him, I am so thankful to have found the Exposed products. It's such a great feeling to have such inner peace knowing he will not have to suffer with these problems like I did into adulthood. He is also so very handsome, not because he is my son:), and I am so thankful I can enjoy his handsomeness with clear healing skin.

I have been suffering with adult hormonal acne and tried so many prescription options. Using basic kit for just over a month and my skin is amazingly clear and the pores are so much smaller. My face look amazing, these products are gently and I follow it the directions just add your favorite light moisturizer and you are set. BTW I'm a pharmacist and finally tried a more natural approach, so happy I did. My son also uses it with great results as well even though he's not as diligent with to regimen

After learning as much as I could about acne, I found a couple products that work for my kid...this is one of them. I gave it 4 stars because we haven't used it alone, but part as an overall skin care routine. My teen has a fair,sensitive complexion with fairly moderate acne. For the past 2 years we tried a lot of different solutions, all topical. Started with basic cleansers and then some drugstore zit medications. A trip to dermatologist for a low level Retinol cream. Everything irritated the skin making it dry and red along with the blackheads/pimples. I finally got myself educated thru the magic of google on what causes acne. Here's one of the tidbits that intrigued me and my engineer husband because it made sense. [...] Exposed works because it has Vit B5 in the cleanser which normalizes the skin growth cycle. Thats why people take B5 as a supplement for acne. There are also several antioxidants, green tea,and tea tree oil , which are all great for healing and combating free radicals, etc in the product. All good. Let's be real, there are people who get a few blemishes or a big whitehead once in a while and there are folks like my teen who have several pimples, redness, swelling constantly. It started with puberty, I am not talking growth spurts, I mean full on turning into an adult NOW with total body changes happening....which means LOTS of hormones. Which is why the science of the above referenced site made sense to us as a possible cause. There is the difference in what kind of acne one is dealing with and how each body handles the interaction of the hormones or androgens with the skin's normal growth cycle. If normal washing and zit creams don't work for you, you may have a deeper reason for acne. Some people have the propensity for androgens to interfere with the normal skin cycle. That creates inflammation, which creates clogged pores, which in turn creates a prime enviorment for bacteria (pimples)to grow. So if you can normalize the skin cycle, the inflammation goes down which in turn, keeps acne from forming. At least that is my non-medical take from the referenced site. Google mTor and acne. If your body reacts a certain way, there is a cause for acne, .very interesting what they are discovering. My teen has this kind of hormonal acne. So I wanted to figure out how to break this cycle. So what works for my teen is Clearzine, a B5/zinc supplement. Started with 6 capsules-2 caps 3 times a day for the first 2 weeks. This alone made a 75% improvement in the amount of breakouts and lack of new pimples. After the initial 2 weeks of supplement, we then started the Exposed basic system which has made another huge difference in the complexion. My kid is now taking 2 caps Clearzine twice a day with breakfast and dinner, taking a vit C (nutrigold amla) and green tea extract (life extension brand) (both antioxidants) in the morning, and doing the Exposed routine morning and night. It has been a week of doing both and the skin keeps improving. The whole family will start taking a NAC supplement again too. Eventually, I hope to drop down to 2 capsules of the Clearzine daily and continue the vit C, green tea and Exposed routine. Oh and my kid doesn't use the Exposed moisturizer, I'm sure it's fine, but we already use Aim2skin products and their face and neck cream has aloe/urea/antioxidants and other ingredients that has always calmed down and healed the complexion. They have a whole line of natural skin products that we use and are awesome for fair/sensitive skin. I'm listing everything thats working for us because I get so frustrated that people aren't willing to talk about whats working for them and wanting money to tell you their "remedy". I hope this helps someone. Good luck!

Great product

I was excited to start this considering I've tried everything else, but I'm pretty convinced there's no solution out there that's going to completely heal and help acne! It has been about a month since I started this product. I've been faithful to it and used it as instructed. I don't see a dramatic difference and I still get cystic acne like I normally do. I do like the Clear pore serum and the acne solution cream. I could, however be fine without the cleanser and toner. The toner is like water and you can't use your hands to apply it as told to do in the instructions, I have to use a cotton ball. I'm going to continue to use this till I run out but it said I'd start to see results in 2 weeks but my skin is basically the same but on top of that I'm getting little pimples I never got before. I have horrible blackheads and I get cystic acne occasionally and I was praying this stuff would help but on top of that now I'm getting these little pimples to worry about now. I'm kinda just disappointed that its not reversing my acne and healing the scars like the product says it does. I don't drink soda and I don't eat horrible and I drink tons of water and exercise normally, so I know its not me. Just really wish I could get rid of my acne completely and find something that will heal scars while reversing the acne itself. So back to more and more research I guess.

Please read this if you are thinking about buying this product!!! I am 19 years old and have never really had a problem with acne before, a couple breakouts here and there but nothing bad. However I just started college this fall and I think the stress of being away from home and more work on my plate (along with other stressful factors) contributed to a HUGE breakout that never went away all over my forehead, and some in my T zone as well (under the nose, upper lip, and chin.) I read all the reviews, did a ton of research and decided to buy the Exposed Skin Care set. However ALL the reviews were written after only a few days of using the products. Please look for reviews that have longer use times on them!! I used this product for about two weeks before it literally melted my skin off. I have never really thought that I had that sensitive of skin, and so I used a small to medium amount of each product as was instructed and it burned my skin. It made my whole face bright red and painful to touch so I stopped using the products immediately. What followed was almost worse. My entire face was scaly and dry for at least a week, and no matter how much lotion I used it was tight and flakey and overall just nasty, and makeup wasn't even an option considering it accentuated all of the flakes. If this ends up happening to you I have some tips now! I used a washcloth soaked in whole milk on my face twice a week and that totally helped! It sounds weird I know but its amazing, and depending on how dry your skin is you can do this more than twice a week (pretty much as much as you want) and it really helps get rid of the flakes and moisturize your skin. Then your next step is to exfoliate actually with the cloth that they provide, this was the only part of the kit that I liked, and use coconut oil all over before you go to bed. This combined with small vaseline treatments should get your skin somewhat back to normal, along with a sensitive skin moisturizer (like simple brand) however my advise is to just skip all of this hassle and not buy the product in the first place. However I totally do understand if you want to try it out and see what happens, I know I ignored the few negative reviews, but I would get it on the actual exposed skin care website. This is because if you are unsatisfied (like if it melts your skin off like it did mine) you can get your money back! While it may be cheaper to buy it on Amazon right away you can't get your money back if you don't like it and then you are stuck with a ton of product that you can't use and 70+ dollars down the drain. All that being said I know that it might work for some people so you should try it if you want, but it has left me with much more acne than I ever had before, and a painfully awkward 2+ weeks of reptile-like skin, so I would just skip it and go to a dermatologist. Thanks for reading!

I have dealt with acne since my teens. I have combo skin- dry cheeks and very oily T-zone. At different points I have used products from Mary Kay, Proactiv, Cetaphil, Avon, Neutrogena, Juice Beauty, Clinique...more than I can remember! For years I have been able to keep it under control (I get occasional blemishes and white/blackheads) using a combination of Neutrogena and Clinique products. I am now in my 30’s and about 4 months ago started to develop cystic acne on my chin and temples. The only thing I had done differently in my routine was try a new primer from Smashbox but even after I stopped using it (and got a refund!), my skin would not calm down! None of my regular go-to routines were working to clear up my skin and I even grew more obsessive about cleaning my makeup brushes, not touching my face, and changing my pillow case every few days. I even looked into face mapping and started taking daily probiotics. No Bueno- acne was growing larger and redder. I made an appointment to see my doctor but couldn’t get in for a few weeks so in frustration I searched acneskin care products online and came across Exposed. It had great reviews with a money back guaranty plus I could order on Amazon Prime. The system is straight forward containing the ingredients you need to fight acne- benzoyl peroxide & salicylic acid. I didn’t have any side effects like stinging or peeling (I think my face is used to all the ingredients already) and my skin started to calm down (less redness) within a few days. Within a few weeks I didn’t have any new breakouts and the cystic acne was finally shrinking. I use this twice a day along with my now doctor prescribed topical antibiotic and Retin-A. I have used Exposed for 6 weeks now (4 weeks alone and 2 weeks with my doctor prescribed add-ons) and my skin is almost back to normal. I still have small blemishes and redness but can actually notice significant improvement and haven’t had any new breakouts. I’m sure within a few more weeks I will be completely blemish free! I’m curious/hopeful for to the claims of improving acne scars but I haven’t used it long enough to see those results. It worked for me and I will continue to use Exposed- I have thrown away my Clinique & Neutrogena! I also like that Exposed hasn’t “bleached” my pillowcases. Everyone is different so this may or may not work for you but at least you get your money back if it doesn’t.

Over the years I've tried everything. Dermatologist prescriptions that were too mild or strong, from Proactiv (which was WAY too strong), to Clinique (did next to nothing after almost 3 mos of religious use). I've used every hypoallergenic product there was and some that weren't. Then I went all natural with tea tree oil, castile soap, and shea butter. Nothing worked as well as I'd hoped, even after 6+ months of use. I have mild to moderate acne, large pores and oily skin, with a few cysts back from my bare minerals days that I could never get rid of (the bare minerals story is a rant that I will not go into here). So, three weeks into it I have noticed a definite improvement in my skin. Day 1 I began the system in the morning, following the instructions exactly. At night I noticed my skin felt a little softer and seemed less irritated. Week 1, I noticed there were very few new blackheads and small pimples. After Week 2, I noticed a definite improvement in my skin's tone and texture, and that one of the persistent cysts on my chin was more apparent, but felt smaller. Well into Week 3, that cyst is gone and the remaining ones are behaving that way as well. I hope that very soon they will all disappear! So far, I have used this system just as religiously as I used to use Clinique, with a few exceptions. The system tells you to first wash with the cleanser, then apply the clearing tonic with just your fingers (I use a cotton pad as lightly as possible since the liquid just slips right through my fingers), then apply the acne treatment serum in the morning. At night after cleanser/tonic you apply the pore clearing serum, let dry, and then pat a small amount of moisturizer into your skin. Every now and then I find that the clearing tonic/acne treatment serum is drying, so on those mornings I skip the tonic and acne treatment, and then apply the moisturizer and the dryness clears right up. So far I am really enjoying the effects. I would recommend that you give this product a good honest try, as I fully expect that in 2-3 months I will finally have the clear, radiant skin I have been trying to get back to since puberty.
