I use the cleanser on my face in the shower then I apply the lotion on when it is dry. The regular lotion is necessary, at least for me, as well as the cleanser. When I run out of one and just use the other then I can tell the difference. As far as Acnefree, I have used the cleanser when I ran out thinking I could use it while I use up the lotion but I still broke out. For me, nothing I've tried has even come close to giving me a constantly clear face except for this product. Trust me, it works.

I would use the cleanser first, then a toner, then the acne lotion, the regular lotion is just for added moisture, this is my regimen and I've never had a breakout since I've been using it!

Depands on your skin. Mine is acne with sensitive, so these products didn't work for me as they made my skin dry and didn't help clearing my skin well.

Whatever your favorite face cleanser is. I use a creamy cleanser in the shower & a fruit enzyme cleanser at night. You can use regular bat soap when using the larger body size brush for your body. So.... whatever you like to use will be great! I even use it with my exfolliators!! Enjoy!!!

I had break outs before. But like any cleanser it may take some time for it to clear your face. If your face feels too dry or you experience redness then this may not work for you. I use it every day..sometimes twice a day if I shower in the morning and night. I follow it with Noxema and leave it on for at least 30 seconds...That will help with dryness. I cannot do without either now....LOL

I really love this! I use it at night only because I have sensitive skin and I need the nighttime to calm my face down. Beautiful skin in the morning!! Don't wash off in morning. There is nothing to wash off

QUOTE: 'Or do you only wash your face after using it?' Directions state to *rinse* your face after using this product but you're not to wash it off with cleanser.

You can use your normal cleanser! That's what I do. I have only used the cleanser that came with it a couple of times.

It doesn't say...this product is In my opinion is not for acne control. It's more for dry flakey skin. You wet the face, apply and let it sit for 30seconds, scrub then rinse then voila! Baby soft skin. Hope this helps

Spray it with rubbing alcohol, or just pour the alcohol over it. I think it's probably fine for acne-prone skin. Try using a facial oil instead of acne medication that dries out the skin. In my experience (I have 3 daughters) trying to dry up pimples only makes the skin think it needs to make more oil to compensate while adding oil to oily skin balances the complexion.

I would check with a dermatologist as I do not specialize in medicine but I have heard Proactive is an excellent product to gain control of Acne prone issues and perhaps then once under control and if your skin is not oily this product is so great for keeping skin smooth and not dry but check with a medical professional regarding acne issues!

Its up to you really. It says to leave it on for 5-30 min. You actually don't have to wash it off if you don't want to. To me thats kinda waisting it. I use it as my nightly moisturizer. I get better results that way. Its a better version of the vital c lotion. So its perfectly fine to use it that way. U can also mix it with other image moisturizers and leave on

1) you need to use it on wet skin for exfoliation. 2) do not over use. Just go over your face one time. 3) I would not use it more than twice a week. Once a week is plenty.

This is probably a personal preference. I wash my face before and after, then moisturize. I personally use MAC skin calming moisturizer because I'm allergic to everything else. You don't need anything before but I would be sure to use your moisturizer of preference after.

You will use this after you wash your face with soap or a face wash. It helps to really exfoliate all the dead skin cells & makes your skin really soft. I use it in the shower mostly only 2-3 times a week. You shouldn't use it every day though as it's not necessary & always follow with a good moisturizer & sunblock during the day. I hope you like it.

Ok, step one is a very strong face wash. Step 2 is the best part IMO. It is a moisturizer that is medicated. So you are treating two very important factors of acne. You're moisturizing the area but also treating it. And the 3rd step is a strong night time treatment that if you get a white head or pimple pop up, you put that directly on the pimple and let it sit on it all night. Be careful tho, it's very strong. IMO it's the best anti acne product on the market. I hope this helps ;)

I wash my face with my everyday vitamin c cleanser, towel dry pretty good before applying the peel. That is pretty much what the instructions tell you to do.

I personally don't use a toner when using this product because it is somewhat like a toner itself! :) after washing my face with warm water, pat dry, then I apply the serum and face lotion :) Hope this helps!
