5.0 out of 5 stars Best Over the Counter Acne Treatment Available, Mar 24 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Clear Skin (Mass Market Paperback)

I am 50 years old and finally cleared up my skin.

I've tried every product, both over the counter, and prescription, available, and Dan Kern's program works.

I first found out about the program through www.acne.org, and I was thrilled when I found out he was writing a book on the simple, easy to follow treatment for acne, that ANYONE can afford.

The irony of this, is that I've even used the so-called #1 acne treatment in America, ProActiv Solution, and didn't work as well as this program. The reason is, those famous dermatologists don't tell you how to USE benzoyl peroxide properly. Dan Kern, a former acne sufferer DOES.

Here's something else that I found ironic. I ordered Dan's book, Clear Skin and also the new book on acne by the famous dermatologists who invented proActiv Solution, called Unblemished. I found their program complicated, much information in their book was repetitive, and of course they push their own products. The information in Clear Skin is easy, simple to follow, well-written, and a God-send for those of us with terminal acne.

It worked for me, when nothing else did! Save your money and order this book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Could have got this information for FREE..., July 2 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Clear Skin (Mass Market Paperback)

off of the author's website www.acne.org. Each and everything in this book is on that website free of charge with a downloadable video (at the time of this review writing).

This "method" is similar to ProActiv's except a non-ProActiv brand of cleanser and benzoyl peroxide are used. Considerably more BP is applied with this method as well. Still this method will end up costing much less than ProActiv. Also, judging by the testimonials on here, in the actual book, and on acne.org, this method is rather successful for the long term.

Dan Kern's clear skin method treatment will lead to staining of pillowcases and apparel (especially if one has body acne), but some see that as a small price to pay for a clearer or completely clear complexion. Also as a heads up, this method is not intended for the "severe" acne cases.

I am most certainly NOT an advocate for the ProActiv system, which was not very effective for my moderate acne by the way.
Please understand- I am not trying to rain on the parade, but I am just listing some possibly negative points that were not mentioned in other reviews. I do wish someone had written about them, before I purchased this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars help for acne sufferers, July 7 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Clear Skin (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is an excellent guide to treating and controlling acne.Most acne sufferers will be helped by this program.For me,I had to substitute salicylic acid because the benzoyl peroxide was too irritating,even the 2.5 percent benzoyl peroxide.Most dermatologists recommend 2.5 percent instead of 10 percent because its equally effective and far less irritating.Best to apply these products at bedtime so they wont be inadvertantly removed.
