    Don't give up!

    ONE PRODUCT I WOULD NEVER STOP USING! This product worked miracles for me. I never got acne at all until my early twenties when my cystic acne came out of nowhere. I didn't know what to do and started trying so many new products. In the course of my trial and error, my face became progressively worse and i had the worst breakout and hyperpigmentation January of 2021. I felt so down about my skin however i was still determined to do whatever it takes. I came across this product from Dr. Gray on youtube and it changed my life! These are my results from Jan 2021 to March 2021! The difference is amazing!!!! I still have a long way to go with my dark marks/hyperpigmentation but my acne has been eradicated! I would say give this a try. It was definitely worth it for me. UPDATE- JUNE 2022! My one year anniversary of using this product was in Jan 2022 and i am pleased to say, I STILL STAND BEHIND IT. The 2 pic collage photo (2nd photo) is a skin update from March 2022. As you can see, a whole lot better than where I was back in 2021. I am now able to even skip some days of using this product as I previously used it every single day last year. I am just now getting done with my first bottle and will be ordering a second. Again, try it out and stick to it! I hope you see amazing results just as I have.

    Patience pays off

    Despite the initial purging, I stuck it out through an entire tube and after 4.5 months of use my skin is more or less clear! I have remaining post inflammatory hyperpigmentation but all active acne has cleared up. I'm glad I didn't give up like many first-time users of retinol do. My sweet spot is 2-3 times/wk or once every two days. That provides results without causing irritation & dryness around my mouth and chin. Wear sunscreen, wear a hat, wear your mask, and it will get better...it just takes time :)

    IT WORKS!

    My pcp told me to get adapolene gel .4% because I was suffering from SEVERE acne (hormonal painful bumps, hard bumps, surface bumps, etc) but at $100 I couldn't afford it. I went looking on Dropy and found this La Roche Posay and I am very impressed with my results! I received this on June 5th, I started using this on June 6th. I don't have pictures of how I looked on June 6th because my skin was just awful at that time! You know how it is, you just don't wanna take pictures when you're not at your best. The picture with the red shirt is June 28th. And the picture with the brown scarf is on July 29th. I have had active breakouts for so long, years. I have tried everything. You name it, I've tried it: benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, vitamin c, neutrogena, clean and clear, tea tree, seaweed, witch hazel, proactive, oral contraceptives, vitex berry, the list goes on and on. This is the only product that has worked. At this point, I have NO ACTIVE BREAKOUTS. This product gives me a glow that I've never had! I'm just working on dark spot correction, but I will probably be using this product for the rest of my life! It worked for me!

    Give it time

    Okay let's be honest: Do not start this regiment/cream if you have an important event in a few days or week. Your face will not be adjusted yet. I purchased this for my chin, I only use it on my chin. Since I have become and adult I have a chin full of blackheads and bumps/acne With no end in sight. I have tried many other options, let me tell u about this one. I am on week 3 of this I use it every evening. So it has sorta gone like this Week 1: By the end of the week, my chin was peeling. Started adding a cream/moisturizer on top to help the peeling. (I use an all natural heavy cream) Week 2: still some spots of peeling skin, now the acne was becoming inflamed, some smaller blackheads were going away. Or were ready to be removed. Some of the bigger acne was inflamed, white head showing ready to be removed. This is also around the time new whiteheads just started appearing, that frankly I was unaware were there. Week 3: the blemishes are now drying up, discoloration. Some drying around the bigger acne spots i had. Notice a few discoloration blemishes from the ance etc. In the stage at this moment of healing... I will update this once my chin goes through the cycle, I just wanted to put a quick insert for anyone who is looking at it for a fast, pimple spot treatment. ***update*** I now use this cream 3x a week, and daily during the time of high hormones (mother nature). I have such a big difference I wish I would have taken better pictures of before and during, as you can not see any peeling or the acne being inflamed in the images. The pictures of now is during my cycle you can see some small pimples, but it is nothing like I use to get. My whole chin would be covered even all the way to the corner of my lips... Give it a shot, test your skin. Find a good heavy cream to place over it once the product dries, to avoid the peeling. All in all I would recommend if this is a regiment of something you are willing to stick with. Purchased middle of December, this update and image is now 3/1.
