You know what, i've never herd about them but i had been struggling with acne for over 9 years....so i have tried almost everything and nothing worked until i found ARBONNE.... The problem is that usually the ingredients of the acne control usually are formulatted with benzoyl peroxide(this ingredient is very strong and it overdries your skin) and other ingredients and chemicals that are too strong for your skin. When using acne products look for salycilic acid instead, this is powerful and will not overdry your skin but will control the acne. also bathing daily cleanses the skin, but it also can dry it out, causing it to look dull, but most importantly, it may cause irritation and remove the natural emolients your body produces to keep it healthy. When you bathe, always use a moisture-rich cleanser, and always pamper your skin with a daily moisturizer. as i told you before, I had been struglling with acne for about 9 years so i can tell you a thing or 2 about acne, Remember that everybody has different reactions to treatments and i have tried everything (even proactive) , the one i tried and thank God i found it because it is the only thing that has worked for me and it has cleared my face and that is amazing. The important thing is to use botanically based products and i found them in Arbonne. I use them because they are formulatted without mineral oil and without animal products. Mineral oil is the 2nd worse thing for the health of your skin the 1st thing would be the sun. Animal products come from Rendering Plants and they pick dead animals and they put it in a huge pot and smash everything down and boil it and the oil that comes up is what other companies use to formulate their makeup (eww the lipsticks), gross i know) and skin care products. I found this site and it has helped my family and my friends. They have a variety of products for everybody..... try it, you have nothing to loose, only acne;) they are calle Clear Advantage and they are not pricey also they have a 45 day money back guarantee....even if the product is finished so there you go,!!! http://arbonne.myarbonne.com and go under shop online, they are not sold in stores but they are just amazing.... also remember these facts...
• Peak acne years are 14–17 in females and 16–19 in males. As many as 40% of females and 35% of males are affected during these years.
• Keep your hands to yourself … touching skin encourages the spread of bacteria and excess oils, leading to breakouts.
• Excessive cleansing and scrubbing can make acne worse.

Not majorly... but it does help some. I didn't really notice a difference with the pill but the spray/ lotion helped what was actually there... I only used when I would have break outs from stress or menstrual. If you have severe acne you should see a dermatologist... they are covered on most insurances these days. Drink plenty of water too!

No, it doesn't work at all. If you're looking for a drugstore remedy, try Stridex Power Pads (containing benzoyl peroxide) and Neutrogena Rapid Clear Acne Defense lotion (salicylic acid), both are very well formulated and WORK.

No it's just benzoyl peroxide and pills that don't do anything...If you've tried oxy the topical is the same thing .
