Himalaya Herbal Healthcare Hydrating Face Wash, 5.07-Fluid Ounce Bottles (Pack of 2)

Himalaya Herbal Healthcare Hydrating Face Wash, 5.07-Fluid Ounce BottlesI was looking for a face wash that didn't try out my skin. This one works well. Has a consistency kind of like jelly at first, but after rubbing it in my hands a bit it thins out and begins to lather. Easy to use. The scent is acceptable and goes away after rinsing off (not a bad smell, but not unscented).

I bought the 2-pack and will use it til the end and will probably buy again.

This cleanser is fantastic! After finding myself allergic to most department store and grocery store cleansers I decided to try something organic that didn't contain all the harsh synthetic chemicals. This one did the trick! My face feels clean but not stripped. Perfect balance!

Vienna Beauty Triple Lanolin- Hand & Body Lotion Tube- 6ozI love all of the Vienna Beauty lotions, but this original scent is my favorite. i hope I can find it in the large size.

used years ago and thought would try again because my skin is so dry now. stinks. do not recommend it.

L'Oreal Paris RevitaLift Anti-Wrinkle and Firming Face and Neck Contour Cream, 1.7 Ounce

L'Oreal Paris Revitalift, Anti-Wrinkle, Firming Face and Neck Contour Cream, 1.7 OunceThe l'oreal revitalift series really does help firm up lose skin. I've used it for a couple years. My neck has improved slightly but the biggest change was in the bags under my eyes and my neck. The lines are greatly diminished around my eyes as well. However, the side effect I've seen is clogged pores leading to blemishes and acne.

As a result I've had to seek out alternative treatments or options..I wound up finding an aloe-infused toner and trying st. ives instead since it's hypoallergenicFREE St. Ives Renewing Collagen Elastin Advanced Body Moisturizer + Witch Hazel Rose Petal Toner w/Aloe Vera. I can use the l'oreal cream with the toner too if I prefer. It works well with any elastin style lotion because it helps keep pores clear while still moisturizing. I've got clear AND firm skin now.

Let me apologize ahead of time for my review because I'm a guy and don't know all the terms for facial discriptions when it comes to "beauty tips." Anyways, I got this product mostly out of curiosity, but I am glad I did and would recommend it to anyone. I have a bad habit since childhood of pushing together my eyebrows to sheild my eyes from the sun, and have created creases or "wrinkles" (though I don't think they are really "wrinkles" in terms of aging) on my forehead between the two eyebrows. I applied the cream to the area including on my cheeks and neck. After only 4 days, I noticed the wrinkle between my eyebrows dramatically decrased. I also noticed the appearance of a firmer jaw-line. I noticed the affects after only 4 days, which is probably fast and may sound too good to be true, but I am in my mid twenties, so that may contribute to how fast it works. Anyways this product works, and is definitely cool. Ummm.. sorry.. had to throw that last bit in so my review wouldn't sound so feminine...yo. Ahem.

Ok guys, I bought this to remove this deep wrinkle I have on my forehead. I am not vain, but I just wanted to see if there was a way to minimize this deep wrinkle. Without asking my wife, I bought this to try it. I have to say, after 2 weeks, my skin looks much better. The wrinkle is still there but everyone says my skin looks younger. I will keep using it till it is finished to see if it gets even better. But so far so good.

Murad Soothing Gel Cleanser Facial Scrubs

Murad Redness Therapy Soothing Gel Cleanser, Step 1 Cleanse/Tone, 6.75 fl ozI use a number of Murad products from the Redness Therapy line daily. I have red, sensitive, 40+ and (usually) oily skin. I like this cleanser for many reasons: removes all make-up, sunblock, oil, "residue", gentle fresh scent, lathers nicely, rinses well. It is definitely not a moisturizing cleanser however, my skin always feels still oily and maybe dirty after using moisturizing cleansers. For extra, but still gentle, cleaning I use a cotton pad to rub oily areas. I can see how some might find it drying as *right after* cleansing/drying I need to use my other products or else my face may feel a little taught.

This cleanser was pleasing and gentle, but I don't think it did anything to help the redness on my face.

This cleanser it not as good as the Murad Clarifying Cleanser was BEFORE they removed the Triclosan, but it is decent. It still has the Triclosan, which is the only ingredient that consistently keeps my rosacea breakouts at bay, but I think it has less in it. So while it helps, it doesn't do quite a well as the Clarifying Cleanser used to (Boo, Murad...miss that Triclosan!) This is one of the few cleansers left on the market with Triclosan, and I really hope Murad keeps it around. Anyway, this cleanser is very mild, removes makeup well, and doesn't dry my skin out or irritate/inflame it. I do still occasionally get the rosacea breakout bumps using just this cleaner, but FAR less than with any other non-Triclosan cleanser. I am now using it in combination with Murad's Recovery Treatment gel, also with Triclosan, and that seems to be getting the job done, albeit at a much higher cost. The two products together, after only a week, are giving me very smooth, clear skin. If you have very sensitive skin, try this cleanser, it might be what you are looking for. No product besides a laser treatment will remove redness from telangiectasia, but it is good to find a product that doesn't exacerbate it. Oh, and rosacea sufferers, change your pillowcase at least twice a week...I swear that helps too! Not sure how this would work on regular acne, but I doubt it would irritate it further, and it would definitely be something you should try if your skin is dried out and irritated from other acne treatments.

Clarisonic Clarisonic Plus Sonic Cleansing Best Sellers Kit

Clarisonic Clarisonic Plus Sonic Cleansing Best Sellers KitI'm a 27 year old who has struggled with clear skin all my life. I have combination skin some parts very dry my t-zone very oily. Although I haven't had horrible acne, keeping my skin clear has always been a challenge and i've ALWAYS been plagued by black heads on my nose and chin. I decided I wanted to invest in a Clarisonic after receiving a facial that used the Clarisonic and all its products. I wasn't sure if I should get the Mia or the pro, and when I decided on the pro, I couldn't resist this best sellers kit. All the products are awesome you get 3 different kinds of face cleansers to try on your face so you know which works best for you. I also love using the serums and lotions after using the clarisonic. I've had my Clarisonic about 3 weeks now and my skin did go through a transition period where it broke out which happens every time I dramatically change my skin routine. But now that my skin has adjusted it has never been more beautiful! It literally glows after each use, I have now had no zits, and my pores are actually clear! I never thought I'd be able to have skin this clear. I've also noticed that my serums and lotions are absorbing much more easily into my skin. As a result I'm wearing much less makeup (I used to wear foundation and bronzer and now only wear a tinted moisturizer). I never thought my skin could look this good!

Desert Essence Organic Green Apple & Ginger Shampoo 8 oz ( Multi-Pack)

Desert Essence: Organic Shampoo Apple 8 ozI don't agree with the other reviewer, as I have longish hair and I find this product thickens and adds a lot of volume to my hair. It has been really great for my skin too, as other shampoos irritate my scalp and lead to breakouts. Love the apple smell. My ONE and only issue with this is that it does dry my hair quite badly, so I have to be sure to use the companion conditioner. I believe it may be the aloe, as aloe is very drying to some people, like me. Yet, for the natural ingredients and healthier skin I get, I just switch to Fat Hair (100% vegan) shampoo and conditioner for a day or two and then go back to Desert Essence. That seems to take care of it for a while. I have extremely sensitive skin and fine, naturally curly hair. Because of my allergies and sensitivities, I cannot use a lot of OTC products. I wash my face with plain water in the morning and pure honey in the evening. Because those things don't help with oil buildup in my eyebrows and lashes, I sometimes use this shampoo very sparingly on my brows and lashes to help with the oil. It has worked well, although I do need to watch the dryness.

One caveat: I talked my Mom into using this shampoo and she didn't like it. She did not get the conditioner and her hair got badly dried. She dyes her hair and this shampoo also stripped out the hair dye. It gets your hair VERY clean. So, if you use it, get the companion conditioner too.

This product works well for short fine hair long/ thick hair it does not work as well. But for the short fine it worked great.

Kronos Volumizing Cleansing Treatment and Conditioner Duo

Kronos Volumizing Cleansing Treatment and Conditioner DuoWhen I first read about this product I was so excited to try it and was even more excited how easy it was to find it on amazon. I was hoping that it would do wonders to my fine, no volume hair. My hair is so boring and straight, I was hoping that this would add some life to my hair. Unfortunately it didn't do anything but instead just got added on to my list of hair products that don't work. Since using it the only difference I can tell is that it's made my hair more have a "straw texture". And the search for decent shampoo continues...

When I first bought the Kronos volumizing products, I used only the shampoo without the night volumizer treatment. Didn't work. Started using the full line and could see the difference the very next day. I love this stuff!

This Konos Volumizing shampoo not only gave me the cleanest hair I've ever had, but it corrected my erectile dysfunction too.

The Body Shop Passion Fruit Facial Cleansing Gel

The Body Shop Passion Fruit Facial Cleansing GelI am a big Body Shop fan and got this when it was on sale. However, I really only used it once. I have pretty sensitive skin and this was WAY to abrasive for me. It burned my face and left it red and swollen for hours. It smelled very nice though and seemed to do a good job cleansing. I would hold off if you have sensitive skin.

I got this on sale and initially bought one bottle. After using it for a week, my skin is less prone to breakouts and I am amazed at how smooth it is.

Needless to say, I have since gone back to the store to stock up...got the 4 last bottles available.

Aveda Green Science Perfecting Cleanser

AVEDA by Aveda: Green Science Perfecting Cleanser --/4.2OZI have tried everything with the exception of Aveda products and since I have heard nothing but wonderful things about Aveda products I thought I would give it a try. I purchased the Aveda "Green Science", which is best for sensitive skin and those looking for anti-aging skincare products (I fall into both of those categories). Anyway, I purchased the cleanser,toner,serum and moisturizer. Have only been using these products for 5 days and have already seen a noticable difference in my skin. The cleanser and toner are awesome, they both do a great job at cleaning/exfoliating without drying. My skin looks and feels clean and refreshed...I almost feel like I look younger. The serum is lovely, one tip I did get from the Aveda Rep., press the serum into your skin for optimal results.....seems to work, my skin looks so much better and like I said, it has only been 5 days. My skin hasn't looked this great in a long time......can't wait to see how it looks in a few more weeks.

I use only Aveda products on my face, but they are rather pricey in the salon. This product was priced well and I received it quickly.

Dermalogica Dermal Clay Cleanser (Travel Size) - 50ml/1.7oz

Dermalogica Dermal Clay Cleanser - 50ml/1.7ozI have large pores and blackheads on my nose and cheeks that I cant seem to get rid of. I bought this in the sample size to try it out, and Im glad I didnt get the larger size. I thought it would be exfoliating, but its quite smooth....it is nice and refreshing tho, like it has mint in it. I used it as a normal face wash for a few days and I saw zero improvement in my blocked pores...then I started steaming my face before using it, and still, no improvements. I get rid of more blackheads with exfoliation with a washcloth and a mud mask. Dont waste your money...if you have large pores and blackheads like me, try out the Azte Secret benzonite clay mask...you get a HUGE tub of it for less money than this tiny little bottle of useless..and it works. :)

Clearasil Pore Cleansing Pads Unisex, 90 Count

Clearasil Pore Cleansing Pads Unisex, 90 CountI bought some of these for my son to use on his shoulders for breakouts and they are working really well. They don't irritate his skin and pimples are disappearing. As for the smell, I think these facial cleansing pads smell pretty nice.

I purchased these for my daughter as part of her twice daily acne regime. So far they are working. With a combo of Clean & Clear 3-in-1 foaming face wash and these her acne is 50% cleared in only a week. We are very happy and she is ecstatic that it's been so easy.

The pads were effective at removing making, dirt, and general build-up. If you are just buying them to remove and cleanse on a basic level, I recommend them.

However, they did not deep clean as I would have expected. I've purchased similar products, including other Clearasil items, and they seem to have a more exfoliating aspect to them .

This was recommended to me by another mother whose pre-teenaged son was dealing with the usual pimples on his face. I had been to the dermatologist and she prescribed a Retin A treatment, which would have made my sons skin extra photo-sensitive. Once he started adding these pads to his cleansing routing, he's stopped using the Retin A and his skin has really cleared up. He still has a few pimples to deal with, but many fewer than before and this is easy for a 12 year old boy to use.

Bioelements Flash Foam Cleanser, 6.5-Ounce

Bioelements Flash Foam Cleanser, 6.5-OunceThis cleanser is great for oily skin. I have combo. skin and it doesn't dry it out like some cleansers do. After using it my face feels really clean and the scent is pleasant. Just be sure to not have your face dripping wet otherwise the product tends to slide off and you'd need to use more. Also, careful around the eyesit stings! I guess you could use eye makeup remover but I like to take a minimalist approach to my skincare regimen.

I have been using this product for about a year now and I have noticed a significant difference in my skin's tone, texture, clarity, and blemish control. I love it!

Alpha Hydrox Nourishing Cleanser with Vitamin A and E, 4.5 OunceThis face wash is soap free so it doesn't dry out my skin. It makes my skin soft and I use it with Alpha Hydrox's Souffle and my skin looks great. I breakout and I've lived with acne sine I was 12. These products have really helped to clear up my skin.

I use this with Clarisonic facial brush twice daily. The combination is very effective. Product vendor often has online specials and/or free shipping.

I like the cleanser--because its fragrance-free.

I would recommend this one! :)

Clarisonic Mia Sonic Skin Cleansing System

Clarisonic Mia Sonic Skin Cleansing System, WhiteI like the Mia for it's smaller size and portability. My sister has the Clarisonic Plus, but I am much more frugal than she is so I bought the Mia for the better price tag. There are some considerable differences between the 2 products, here are a few:

1) One cycle runs for 1 minute then turns off on the Mia. You are able to set the cycle for the Plus for 1 or 2 minutes. Additionally, the Plus beeps when you are supposed to move to a different area of your face. You can always just run the cycle again on the Mia if it's not long enough though.

2) The Mia is smaller, though the brushhead is the same diameter. The Mia is also much lighter than the Plus.

3) The Mia has a powercord (attaches magnetically to the unit and is waterproof where it attaches), the Plus has a cradle.

4) You cannot use the body brush with the Mia (biggest disadvantage for me, as I didn't realize this when I purchased it).

All in all, if you are just planning to use the brush to cleanse your face and don't need the body brush, then I think the difference between the two doesn't warrant the large hike in price.

Summary:

My skin problems probably aren't going to be resolved by anything short of prescription medication, so all I expected from the Mia was thorough cleaning and maybe some help with blackheads. The Mia's more than met those expectations. I'll be replacing it if/when it stops working and I definitely recommend it if you have the money but don't expect miracles for severe acne.

Details:

I'm Asian (Filipino/Chinese) with a medium-olive skin tone. I consider my skin to be fairly strong toners and AHA products tingle slightly but don't hurt, and I don't have any fine lines or wrinkles at age 38. My skin's very oily and there's a lot of hyperpigmentation. I have severe adult-onset acne due to hormone imbalance milia on my chin, blackheads on my nose, cystic acne frequently on my cheeks and jawline and infrequently on my forehead (gets worse based on my monthly cycle), and infrequent whiteheads anywhere.

My current skin care regimen is Murad at night and a mild bead-type exfoliator during my morning shower, but I'm not very good at sticking to it usually I use the Mia in the shower and just remove my makeup at night.

I've been using the Mia since mid-July more or less once a day, every time I wash my face. Here's what I've noticed:

My skin is still oily in fact, it almost seems like it's *more* oily because the pores are clearer. Not an issue for me since I discovered Urban Decay's Deslick in a Tube (highly recommended if you have very oily skin!)

My pores are much less apparent, especially when I'm wearing makeup. Without makeup they still look pretty big to me, but I'm in the habit of studying my face in the mirror from two inches away. I'm comfortable that they're clear and not visible to others, especially if I blot or otherwise manage the oil.

No or slight effect on hyperpigmentation some darkening has faded, but it tends to fade for me over a few months anyway.

No effect on the cystic acne.

No effect on whitehead frequency or severity.

The milia, which had persisted for months regardless of treatments, creams, and scrubs, are much reduced, both in appearance and amount. I can still see some bumps, but they're not white, and my chin is smoother. I don't feel like a casual observer would notice anything. This was unexpected and AWESOME all of my reading about milia led me to believe that they couldn't be removed by anything short of a visit to a professional, so I'd pretty much resigned myself to just dealing with it for a while.

The blackheads are gone. In the past I had cleared and prevented blackheads with a weekly Biore strip, an overnight mask applied to my nose every other night (every night was too drying), and scrubbing with an exfoliator in the morning. Using the Mia has pretty much eliminated the blackhead issue entirely.

I like the Mia a lot my skin feels cleaner and smoother in the areas I'm not prone to blemishes. It feels sturdy & comfortable to use. Like other reviewers, I'd be happier if it paused every ten or twenty seconds to help with timing the cleaning. That feature's available with the larger Clarisonic, but frankly I don't really want anything larger than the Mia. I've had no problems with recharging the Mia only weekly.

If you decide to purchase, I'd recommend picking up some makeup remover wipes as well; it's alarming how dirty the brush looks when it's covered with foundation, and I got paranoid that all the makeup on the brush wasn't letting the Mia get my face really clean and ended up washing my face a second time.

I received this as a gift and was skeptical it would be worth its price. I saw significant change in the tone and clarity of my skin in less than a month. The clincher was when others complimented my skin, unprompted. I was also hesitant to add yet another step to my skin care routine but it's very quick and easy. I would recommend it to anyone thinking about purchasing this.

I received the Mia as a Christmas gift and I love to use it in the shower. I do have one concern though and you who are reading this and thinking about buying one should know: when you charge it (and you're supposed to for 24hrs upon first use)it MAKES NOISE. It makes a small, pulsing, chirping noise like a cricket. This may not be a problem for those of you with big houses where you can plug it in to charge somewhere far away from where you are, say, trying to sleep. But if you have an apartment and don't have that option, argh! Annoying. Otherwise, it is a good product (I just don't know why they thought it would be a good idea to have it chirp annoyingly while it is charging).

Want Clarisonic Mia Sonic Skin Cleansing System Discount?

I cannot believe the difference in my skin after using the Mia for 1 1/2 months. This winter I experienced extremely dry skin that could not be helped no matter how much moisturizer I used. I experienced occasional blackheads and unsightly pores. My major problem with most cleansers is that I have a mild case of rosacea that does not necessitate special treatment but can result in irritation with strong cleansers.

My routine is as follows. Every morning, I use Clinique dramatically different moisturizer followed by my Smashbox makeup. In the evening, I remove my eye makeup using neutrogena eye makeup remover.Then I use my Mia with Neutrogena gentle cleanser. I use the delicate brush for my MIa because the sensitive one that it came with was just a little too much for me. After washing my face, I pat it with a towel so that it is just slightly damp and apply my Clinique moisturizer in a heavy coat.

To say that my skin has improved is a gross understatement. My hair stylist actually commented on how great my skin looks. This is a huge compliment from someone who is up close and personal with faces all day long. My pores are practically invisible, and I have absolutely no acne. The problem with flaky skin has disappeared, and my skin looks younger than it has in years.

The only wish I have for my Mia is that it would have a timer to indicate when to move from one part of the face to another. My sister's Plus has that, and she loves it.

Embryolisse Lait Crème Moussante Sans Savon (Cleansing Cream for Face and Body Without Soap) 200 Ml

Embryolisse Lait Crème Moussante Sans Savon 200 MlThis cleansing cream was recommended by my Dermatologist as well as the Embryolisse Concentrated Lait Cream which is also one of the best creams I've ever used.

I am in my late 40's and have tried many, many products like La Mer, Guerlain, Siesley and many others. I need a very gentle cleanser because my skin is very sensitive. This works great for taking off make up too and it really cleans the skin.

This is one of the best cleansers I've ever used and its affordable. I think anyone could use this. I tend to like French skin care products and this is a very trusted brand. The other great thing is it smells heavenly so good I wish they made a body lotion. It has a hint of lemon and ginger hard to say exact but I want to eat it. Thanks to Amazon I can get it here because its not easy to find where I live. When I go to Europe I will stock up.

I have been using this cream for nearly three weeks and I like it a lot! It's light and smells great. It cleans my face effectively and leaves a glow. I recommend it highly.

When I purchased this cleanser, I was looking for a gentle, non-drying cleanser to remove makeup easily. This did not end up satisfying that need exactly. It is an effective cleanser, gentle on skin and non-drying, slightly heavy on scent, but nothing too terrible. But unfortunately--and this may be due to heavy perfumes--if you get it in your eyes, it burns like (expletive deleted). Very painful, and not super easy to rinse out. That said and lesson learned, I do like using this in the shower on face and body, and I do still use it to remove eye makeup, but I'm very careful to rinse quickly and not rub it in my eyes at all. I haven't decided if I'll repurchase, but I do think it's a very good shower wash.

Vichy Normaderm Purifying Deep Cleansing Purifying Gel 400 MlI am supper happy with this product. I heard that the company has reformulated to have a more liquid product (hence the extra product promotion) versus more concentrated previous version but I have to say it is still amazing.

Niapads

NiapadsBackground: 29yrs old black female. 15+ year sufferer of moderate to severe acne, acne scaring and hyper-pigmentation. Skin type is very oily and acne prone. Tried OTC, Rx (to include Accutane), Lasers, Peels. Some were pretty affective but came with very severe side effects.

First, I want to express how excited I was about receiving this particular product because I've recently given up on spending THOUSANDS on dermatologist and aesthetician bills, prescription medications, cosmetic procedures, and expensive skin care products. Additionally, I recently discovered why most products just didn't seem to work for me irritating ingredients. So after researching every single ingredient in all of my Rx, skin care and hair car products, I had to toss out 98% of them. Additionally, I've been reading about more natural alternatives and ingredients that are equally beneficial for acne without all the harsh irritating effects. So again, I was especially excited to receive this product as I believed it contained a decent concentration level of vitamin B or at the very least enough of it WITHOUT any counterproductive ingredients.

Well so I thought...

Immediately after opening my package, I zoomed in on the ingredients and was very much disappointed. This product contains Sodium Lauryl Sulfate which is an ingredient used for its "lathering" effects. This stuff is in most skin care products, shampoos, clothing, and dish washing detergents. Well the problem is SLS "is one of the most irritating cleansing agents used in skin-care products" according to the European Journal of Dermatology and the American Journal of Contact Dermatitis. Sure some folks enjoy a nice lather and actually feel as though their skin isn't properly cleansed without it but the truth is that lather has nothing to do with cleansing. Sure some lathering cleanser removes excess oils but doesn't actually cleanse the skin. I have used many Neutrogena products (which are the WORST) that work up a good lather, only afterwards to use a toner, witch-hazel or alcohol and find globs of dirt and dead skin on the cotton swab.

To put SLS irritating effects in perspective, I switched to a shampoo containing zero sodium products and my seborrheic dermatitis is under control and my acne even showed some improvement. The shampoo also contains Tea Tree Oil which may have also contributed to my skin improvements. So, I knew I was on the right track with eliminating certain ingredients and incorporating more natural ones like the Tea Tree and Vitamin B3, to name a few.

Anyhow... I proceeded to use this product in spite of what I knew because I was so anxious to see the results of what the Vitamin B3 could deliver. Plus, I had two very large active nodule pimples near my temple that I was trying to rid myself of ASAP (this is actually an improvement considering prior to revamping my products regimen, I had 4 to 5 on any given day). The product instructions provided an alternate process to treat inflamed, nodule, and/or cystic type of acne which actually is pretty effective. It called for cutting out a small (smaller than thumb tip) corner of the pad, to slightly wet it and place on the pimple until dried, and then removing the pad and rinse. My nodule pimples were gone in 1.5 days which is an all time record. Not even injections from the dermatologist improved my large nodule pimples that quickly. For this reason alone is why I gave this product 3 stars!

So after seeing these results, I thought for sure I could suck up the irritating effects of SLS if the vitamin B3 could improve my acne that quickly. Well, this pad has so much lathering ingredients in it that I had to cut it in half (original size is about 2 x 3 inch rectangle flat, textured swab) which is already very small. It still produced a rich lather and after rinsing my face, I had a white film/residue on my face. Whether this is the SLS or Vitamin B3, I have no idea but I suspect it's the SLS because it broke me out with a gazillion small closed comedones over 90% of my face. However, zero nodule or cystic acne.

Simply, I would recommend this product for spot treatment, especially for nodule/cystic type acne. I would not recommend using this as a facial cleansing and especially not using it twice a day as recommended by the manufacturer. What would be a blast is if the manufacturer would update their ingredients to exclude the SLS and other sodium ingredients within it. Then I bet this stuff would fly off the shelves! And I would certainly give it a 5 star but for now, I think 3 is appropriate.

Extremely Irritating Ingredients:

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate

Sodium Coco Sulfate

Lavender Oil

My 17-year-old son had had a pretty bad case of standard teenage acne vulgaris for a couple of years. It wasn't the sort of awful acne that you know will result in lifelong pockmarks, but he always had a fair number of angry looking pimples at any one time. He'd gone through the standard over-the-counter medications, as well as some prescription lotions, ointments, and oral antibiotics. Nothing seemed to do much good, and a friend of my wife suggested Accutane -an expensive and very powerful oral retinoid with some horrendous potential side-effects (depression, liver damage, etc.). Since payment for the Accutane (at $400/month + frequent visits to the dermatologist to monitor side effects) would have come out of my pocket, and since my son was very reluctant to take the product, I decided to do some research before jumping in. In the course of that research I came across positive study info about the successful use of topical nicotinamide (also called niacinamide, and related to Vitamin B3 or niacin) in treating acne.

I figured this non-prescription treatment might be worth a shot before resorting to Accutane, but when I searched on Amazon, nearly all the niacinamide products were oral (about which I'd read nothing) and the few available niacinamide gels or ointments were being marketed as anti-aging, anti-wrinkle products, not acne treatments. The sole exception was Niapads, which had lots of positive Amazon reviews, although a majority of these reviews seemed to deal with adult acne rather than the more standard teenage variety my son was suffering from. So I placed an order, which was very promptly filled and delivered (this company has a very high level of customer service, with same-day or next-day shipping on every order I've placed thus far).

At first my son didn't really like the Niapads. He didn't care for the perfumed smell (he's a 17-year-old boy) and he found they irritated his face. Based on the Amazon reviews I'd read (several of which noted the same initial reactions), I urged him to keep using them for the full month, and he was willing to give it his best shot in order to avoid the Accutane. At the end of the month, he asked me to go ahead and order another pack -the irritation had subsided, he'd gotten used to the smell, and though his acne was still there, it didn't seem quite as "angry" as it had a month earlier.

It's been about 6 months now and my son's skin looks the best it has in years. Yes, he will occasionally get a pimple, but he no longer has those outbreaks that are what I think of as acne. His face looks clean and clear. So all in all, I would recommend Niapads without any hesitation.

I'm currently on my second set of Niapads. I'm almost 30 with an oily, acne-prone complexion that gets worse depending on my hormonal cycle. I only use one Niapad a day and not the two that they recommend (but I will start using 2/day now). My acne break outs have been greatly reduced and my skin is much softer. I still break out, but I sleep with either side of my face against a pillow every night (it's hard to break that habit).

I read another review that mentioned applying the Niapad at night and NOT rinsing it off, I followed that advice and really think it made a difference. The very first night I used this product I had 3 fairly big pimples and 1 cystic-type one, the next morning they had all come to a 'head' and by the morning after that they were well on their way to clearing up, which would normally have been at least another week. I have accepted that I will never have a perfect complexion but Niapads do make a difference.
